Soft porn on view in Asda

[HoneySocks]

Popped to grab a paper after school with my two DDs (3 and 5) to my local ASDA and was really annoyed to see NUTS magazine on the shelf above the papers. There were two front covers to be clearly seen (two copies of same mag i mean) with a pair of huge boobs on each (hands just covering nipples).My older DD was clearly scanning the covers (looking for comics no doubt )and it just seemed so wrong - im no prude but i turned the covers over.Still feel that ASDA should not have this stuff on clear view in family type store but almost cant be arsed to complain as surely will get standard customer service type brush -off. So AIBU?

omg boobs!

Thought this was about the sticker of a boob on a baby bottle

YANBU, I hate this and feel that trash like that degrades men far more than it does women. Yuck.

sorry maybe my last post was too subtle. What exactly is wrong with seeing breasts? It is attitudes like this that sexualise womans bodies. So when your dd's see a woman breastfeeding do you turn their heads away. As far as I can see you brought attention to it by turning the mags around. My ds sees mine and others breasts (beaches abroad etc) since a babe he is now 6 and they are just another part of a womans body as far as he is concerned. But hey each to there own i suppose.

their own

I agree with op Should be on high shelf. seeing breast feeding is not the same as the sexualised images on these magazines.

But the breasts in Nuts magazine are a sexulised image. A b/f picture isn't.

Nzshar - I expect when you have naked breasts you do it with dignity and don't stand there with one in each hand pouting in a vacant or aggressive manner! I'm totally with you on normalising nudity but I think the poses and wording on these crappy magazines put them in a different context to 'just some boobs'. OP - YANBU I think these magazines send very poor messages to children and especially girls.

nzshar you are totally missing the point. The breasts in Nuts are sexualised images.

IIRC I saw this particular cover in the petrol station and it is a woman bending forward whilst groping her breasts provocatively. TBH I was .

My DC see my breasts in the bath/shower; when I am getting dressed and on the beach. They do not see them when I am jiggling them about in DH's face when we are getting it on...

Only sexualised in your mind not a childs IMHO its how you deal and talk to your children about it. Controversial as it may be for me to say I do not think the british talk to their children in a frank mannner enough, everything is still a bit... embarrasing. Ok I admit maybe a bit of a generalisation there.

Men are different fact. Men see women differently than women see ourselfs, obviously. We need to be dealing with our children to change this to make bodies normal and what may be deemed as sexualising, we need to make normal. By that I mean we need to desexualise (not a word probably) and therefore these images will no longer have meaning IYSWIM

Sorry maybe I should step away don't think i am getting across what I mean very well

this was also on display in co-op between sweeties and comics, but we have a campaign here maybe you could add your complaint on and post to show support here

I'm really disappointed, the title of this thread is misleading, I thought you was going to say they where showing soft porn on the TVs round the entertainment section or something.

sorry cant get the link to work been having terrible difficulties with it. It is basically a lady bending over wearing knickers that look like she hasn't got anything on.

my dh reads looks at the Sun every day, and pisses me off by doing this at breakfast table with kids sat there. Always seems to take a long time to read page 3 though.
YANBU, everytime I am looking for a mag in supermarket these days, I feel like I'm being assaulted by breasts left right and centre.
Yes they are a normal part of women's bodies, but not the way these mages portray them.
Should def be on top shelf with brown paper covers.

I thought they were advertising a sale on soft porn in Asda for a moment. Cue 70's organ music...bow chicca wow wow.....

How do kids in Amsterdam manage? The Dutch seem like such a well balanced bunch of people to me. They even have tutti frutti type programs on Sat family viewing times.

We read the sun in our houses and I couldnt care less if the kids see page 3 its only boobs. I walk round in french knickers, frilly bras, naked etc all the time in front of my child and I dont see any difference between that and what they would see in the magazines.

im with nzshar

and ifancykevinelevin dont the Dutch have one of the lowest teen pregnancy rates in europe?
and dont they start their sex education really early and are really open about it?

yet when its suggested here parents seem to think 'sex education' means showing 6 year olds porn...

I went into the "poundland" the other week, walking to the cue when what do they have on the bottom shelf? A great big pair of fake tits! I wanted to complain but mumbling is easier
And another one, ok this isnt soft porn but Tesco, selling scissors on a low shelf, my DD (4) grabbed a pair! Luckily I got hold of them before she hurt herself.
Now I've seen mums and dads in the stores, you cant watch your child constantly and assume stores have the sense to put dangerous items on higher shelves.
I was in another Tesco store recently when a little toddler trotted past a corner shelf as his dad was looking at an item, SMASH, bottles of wine, carelessly put on a low corner shelf crashed to the floor, JUST missing this little boy!

Actually just read a few recent posts and think maybe I am overreacting to what my DD sees...my friend used to have a poster of two girls half naked....anyway...DD was only 3 when she said, "They should be cuddling men..." Me and my mate just looked at eachother like...where did that come from!?
Poster has since been removed because I DD declared she didnt like it!
