Ann Summers
Some would think it odd that I find the need to rant about Ann Summers. Well this isn't directed at Ann Summers as a whole but at one experience i had. My friend and I were browsing in Ann Summers and went to look at some sex toys, just for fun. We picked a few up just to look at them when we were asked if we were over 18. As we were only both 17 we were asked to leave that section of the shop. What I don't understand is, why? I mean the legal age of consent of in the U.K is 16, so why are we unable to look at vibrators. Surely, it makes more sense for us to do that. I mean when you use a vibrator you're not going to get pregnant or get an STI are you? How as a nation can we try and promote safe sexual activity when we won't allow people who are above the age of consent to
look at vibrators. I know people can have safe sex no matter what their age but what I wish to stress is why are people who are of the legal age of consent unable to look at a sex toy. I myself have no interest in them, but i know full well people who do. Some may think what I'm saying is silly but GAH!!!
Reveal Magazine
I was in Sainsbury's this afternoon when I saw a magazine cover that caught my eye. On it was the following photograph (left) which made a woman want to lose weight. My thought again was as to why? Personally I don't think she needs to at all, I don't think she is fat. I feel that she actually has a healthy, average figure. Some may call me a hypocrite as I myself want to lose weight BUT I'm not going on a diet, I want to be healthier and have a good BMI (my current BMI is 27.something). No one should ever ever lose weight because they think they're fat. This woman is definitely not. What message is this portraying to many people? It really does anger me that people who are perfectly fine feel the need to lose weight.
