to be getting really peed off with adverts for "improve your sexual performance"?

[thumbwitch]

OK, so I'm in Australia and many of you won't have seen them (unless they're pervading the airwaves in teh UK as well) but I am SO SICK of these!

Billboards everywhere - Text "Try" to XXXXX for tips on longer performance" or whatever - were bad enough. Then it was Radio ads - blithering on about more satisfying sex - ok, my DS is only 2.6 but at some point he's going to cotton on and ask what they're on about and to be frank, I don't want to hear about it.

Now - I've just seen a TV ad for enhancing sexual performance - 2 blokes with their troos round their ankles playing the piano with their supposedly miraculously stiffened-by-drugs-or-something penises! It's too much.

Or am I just being selfish and old-fashioned?

aw boo, no one?

omg that advert sounds quite funny.
We dont really get stuff like that here in the UK.

It does sound a bit graphic for daytime telly. The most we get here is some obtuse footage of a chap bumbling around in his kitchen and giving his wife a hug, with a voiceover saying something about the over 40's. I think it's meant to be about penises anyway.

Hahahahaha Tidey! I thinks it's about penises....
Thumb YANBU- maybe complain to advertising authorities? If ds asks about enhancing performance just say it's to improve your performance in sports?!?

• but how am I supposed to explain the bit about "satisfying Her for longer"?

I just tried to see if it was on youtube but it isn't (well, not obviously anyway)

yanbu
Also, now have image of harassed mother umming and er-ing to small child about female "sports" fans.

When I saw the title of your thread I got ready to reply "it can't be as bad as it is here in Australia" until I realised you were the OP

I regularly hit the off button on the radio if I drive my kids to school. WHY do they need to talk about longer lasting sex at 8am on the morning! DD (7) is puzzled at the idea of having to be better in the bedroom - she wants to know why she has to be better behaved in her bedroom than in any other room in the house, I can't bring myself to even go there.

The piano advert sounds quite funny. But not something I'd want to see on TV in the daytime! It's not appropriate at all and just promotes sexual insecurity IMO.

I have heard a similar ad on Abs..... Radio (may i say that?) in the UK and while on the school run at that! I had to turn the radio off pretty quickly - like sunnydelight. DS is only 5 but he asks lots of questions very often!

Inappropriate and unnecessary imo!

at sunnydelight - Yep, I have to be very quick off the mark with the radio button as well. Drives me mad!

Just to be clear - the tv ad wasn't in the daytime, it was on late in the evening - at least, I haven't seen it during the daytime.

I absolutely do not see the need to advertise it to the general population indiscriminately.
