Meaningful Beauty, Sex Sells
Cindy Crawford's face is being used to sell Meaningful Beauty, sex or rather sensuous and beautiful images sells products to women. It’s not just men that react to visual stimuli. But are you going to get what you want when you buy this product?
Let me tell you a story about a classical Greek prostitute. Well, to call her a prostitute is actually demeaning. She was a hetaera, a highly educated, independent and trained companion. They hosted salons where men and women would come for the conversation and entertainment. They were allowed to be influential in politics. Usually a foreigner or a slave, the price of a well-trained hetaera was about 10 years salary. Many hetaeras were able to buy out their own contracts in a few years, because of the extra-ordinary prices they commanded and tips they were given.
One of the most well respected and visited of the hetaerae was nicknamed the Frog, because her face was so pockmarked.
Today, when men are being told their penises are too small and women are being told that Meaningful Beauty is essential, it no wonder that sex is disappointing on both sides of the table.
Since it’s been scientifically proven that we seek partners with symmetrical features, and smooth, firm, elastic skin, everyone is seeking to conform this ideal of beauty -young and tight.
Unfortunately, for many older people take it a little too far and the look translates into dried out and stringy. While you can never be too rich, you can be too skinny. People who are thinner live longer, but if disease does hit, they have no fat reserves to fall back on.
The immense amount of self-loathing and fear is evident in high price beauty items to delay aging for women and penis enhancement products and pills for men.
People have forgotten how to be comfortable in their own skins.
Certain men and women have hit the genetic jackpot for beauty. They will never lack for sexual partners and are in demand at parties. Many of them will tell you they hate being decorations. More than the average person, they fear aging. If they age badly, all the privileges that came with being young and pretty are out the window.
Your personality actually does count. As your grow older, it counts more and more. As people manage their middle aged crisis and come out the other end more comfortable in themselves and more self assured, they’ll want to see those traits in their partners and friends.
Your inner self will be the true meaningful beauty. Sex may sell at first, but there’s a limit, everyone eventually reaches. |
