I am sick of all the beer ads with half naked women. For once I would like to see a commercial with half naked men lathered in honey, promoting beer for women. What woman would say no to a bug camp full of gorgeous men? I enjoy a cool beer after work just as much as any man does! And what’s with the lack of exciting and erotic porn for women? Forget big breasts, and racing stripe pubes, I want big, delicious men and enticing fantasies. Start advertising to women too, we’d love to be included in these wonderful past times.

I don’t know if its the type of women I meet but women do like porn, although most girls I know prefer lesbian porn. However, they also tend to go for internet porn instead of buying videos. I’m curious if thats due to quality of videos or not.
I’m with you OP. Beer & Porn is fine with me. Bad Guy I think most girls like porn too. Its not just the girls you’ve met. And I’m no Lizzie but I do like Lizzie porn.
Cmon you’re missing the point entirely.. Women purchasing beer generate such a fraction of overall sales that margins are only skewed by generating sales from men.Soon as women start buying 30x more beer, maybe you’ll see that.-This is also the same reason female athletes get paid a fraction compared to the men – because they bring in a fraction of the $ (of course there are plenty of female athletes outside the standard deviation)
see, now you’re talking…. I’ve been reading LTWWB for years now and I find it seems to be mostly women who regularly post.(just an observation, though it *could* be wrong.)So OP, (perhaps inadvertently) you’re catering to a specific audience based on the bitch. Smart marketing move… wonder if anyone ever thought of that…..
I think women over the years have been oppressed into one typical role, that is slated by society in general. The role of pleasing the man and not themselves. I think that overtime and as gender roles have evolved that women have been making more decisions about what they want not only from themselves, their mates or society. Society in my opinon has/had two different messages 1)be a nice girl (bake cookies for the boys 2) be a sexy babe if the woman chooses sexy babe then she is chastized by society and called a slut. So I can see why there are no porn or beer for women as society isn’t ready for the sexy babe to come out in us! great post op.
Wow. Ginger, Is that really you?!?! Say something crazy, so I know it’s really you. 😛 Excellent comment Ginger, I don’t think I agree with all of it, but a great addition to the discussion. More related to the OP though, I guess I would argue that the same advertising that sells beer to guys, is also selling beer to women too. Take a look at magazine covers as well. Both the men’s and women’s mags feature women on the covers (even men’s mags like GQ that usually feature men, often put women on as well). Basically, Both sexes are buying the same message. For Guys, it’s “if you can attract women like these, you will be liked” and for women it’s “be women like these and you will be liked”. So, with the beer ads, it’s pretty much the same thing, “drink our beer and party with the boys”. As for Gingy’s comments, I think you have to recognize that the 2 different views are coming from 2 different elements of society. The sluts are being called sluts from the good girls and the good girls are being called repressed by the sluts. The problem I see with both these labels, as you said I think, is that both are just trying to serve stereotypical male interests. Pop-tarts that get skanked up on stage and claim girl power are delusional. All they managed to figure out is that sex sells…they may get money, but they don’t have power. The real women liberators are the one’s fighting for pay equity or the right to take parental leave without losing their jobs. The women with real power are the ones who demand and earn the respect and equality they deserve, and it is they, not the pop stars, that should be the role models of our daughters.
I think the real women libers are the ones who decide they will not be part of this system- as in, I can be sexy if I want and still have a brain, I can go out without makeup on and still be feminine, and I can bake cookies and not be cinderella. we’re not going to move forward until we stop trying to cram people into boxes- and that’s possibly what the OP was getting at. women drink beer too. women also look at porn. but society has told us they don’t do either, and if they do that means a whole wack of things about them, other than they just like beer or (gasp) need a little visual stimulation now and again.but ginger for once isn’t hanging fromt he crazy tree- the first step is admitting we have these sterotypes, then we can conciously move beyond them…to a land of for-women porn and beer commercials ;)ps gingy, do you know lilac? yoiu too would probably hit it off!
I’m pretyy sure the last 3 posts in a row were the “old gingy” hun!
whatever lori i am not letting you piss on my new attitude
lmao Qwerty its just that this new gingy has a lot to be thankful for, my docs thought i had epilepsy but I found out I don’t and its nothing serious what i have. So get ready to embrace the new gingy its scary but fun lol.
Old Gingy, new Gingy… it’s immaterial to me.I’m just happy to have… Gingy. In all her glory.
Too late hun… I couldn’t hold it! laugh over laugh
New Gingy? ..We fear change.I rather like your old style in the coast, but hey, whatever you gotta do, Ging.
I’m with you poop… I prefer the Classic Gingy over the New Taste Gingy by a margin of 3 to 1
just one calorie, not crazy enough
It’s a phase..her old habbits will be shining through by the early hours of 1-2am.
I think we should all take a zen approach to the Gingy question – take a long, slow, deep breath and enjoy the Gingy that is before us at this moment. Old and new are mere labels; Gingy is Gingy is Gingy.poopie, where the FUCK have you been all my life, sweetums? good to see you… nothing like an old fashioned Gingfest to bring out the old crew.Anybody seen matt lately?
Qwert, i’ve been around less..It started with my annoyance of Homely, and then moreso lurking here and there due to a new job and busier schedule. I’ve adjusted to the newness a little, so i’m around a bit more. I see a few new names here too, which is nice. I’ve missed the likes of You, Miles and Floydie. Matt? I believe he ran off with whats’er face from the salt the damn driveway thread..Rainman, wasn’t it? Hehe.
Agreed Qwerty, I’ll take Gingy as she comes….that’s all part of the fun. Ginger is like a box of chocolates……..sweet and nutty.I’m just kiddin’ ya Ginger….I don’t want to go pooping on your parade and happy news.
Awesome. So i understand what Lesbian porn does to a man, but why do women like it, when they’re not lesbian or bi? what does it stir up inside? Just curious to know.The bad guy, about your original comment, Internet vs Store, I think it’s probably because most stores in NS, not sure about the rest of Canada, are pretty strict when it comes to various types of porn, and I believe it’s due to government restrictions. I’ve seen some stuff online that you’ll never ever find in stores. Also a lot of women are shy and embarrassed to walk into a store and buy one. They feel more comfortable on the internet. Final thought, it’s free on the internet:)
Rainbo what? Let me quote what I said “women do like porn”. You just said I said the opposite of what I said. Are you bizarro Bad Guy? Are you the Good Girl?
Now being a man, I would think my opinion is pretty, unreliable. But in regular porn guys are selfish and its all attention on them, while with les there’s more focus on the foreplay aspect. Not that I watch it or anything. And correct me if I’m wrong ladies
Not to speak for the ladies Coyo, but I have asked the same question before, and the response I got was pretty much what Bad Guy said. The women I talk to say straight porn is too “aggressive” and lesbo porn is more sensual….Apparently, most women prefer sensual over whamming it. I don’t imaging many girls would fantasize about being the girl in guy on girl porn…that’s all about servicing the guy (which makes it appealing to guys). It makes way more sense for a girl to be aroused by lesbian porn, where the girl’s sexual needs are the focus of attention.
Bad Guy I did NOT say the opposite of what you did… I agreed with you all the way!!!You said “women do like porn”; I said “I think most girls like porn too”.And you said “I don’t know if its the type of women I meet”; I said its NOT JUST the girls you’ve met” (i.e. there are more of us than just the ones you know).Girls- do you find a lot of the guys out there can barely read at a low grade school level?Coyotex- I like girl porn cause I am girl and I like porn. What’s not to get?
Very eloquent Miles. Now there is a gentleman that understands women. I’ll even bet you know how to do that thing that we all like so much, extra special. Don’t you.
waaaaaaaa i feel so loved ps my man is scared shitless of my new attitude lmao
Rainbow, do you mean helping to pick out colours for drapes? Cuz we hate that. But I bet miles would grin and bear it, cuz he’s so nicey nicey. So I think you’re totally right.
mils rofl ya know “life is like a box of chocolates ya never know what you’re going to get”
I have heard that lesbians rally dig gay male porn, which really sorta blows my mind. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Looks like Miles has a new special friend. I guess he won’t be hanging out with us so much anymore… I’d like to throw my hat in the ring if we decide we need a new leader…
Forrest Gump references… dig deep, Gingy.
Mrs. Rainbo (from Home) has quite a ring to it.They could totally live beside the pot of gold and ALWAYS be miles away…
Don’t pick on Patti Labelle, Qwerty. She’s happily rooting for the hazelnuts.
Jammie- That’s onay on the drapes but upyay on the grinning miles thing. And BTW a couple of my girlfriends are lesbians and I know for a fact that they HATE guy on guy porn. FTR so do I.
The hate of the guy on guy makes sense to me. i think it was in this week’s Dan Savage (maybe?) that there was a statement that lots of dykes love it, and was confuddled by the concept.
Not a Dan Savage fan.
Yup Miles its really me believe it or not! I just decided to shed the old Ginger and I like the new Ginger a lot more 🙂
PS I decided to be sexy and have a brain 😛
lol hedgy i luvs ya darlin 🙂
Whoa, Gingy. The new Ginger is fine, but don’t be afraid to unleash the old Ginger on us once in a while. We need our fix, and it’s a good venue for you (and all of us) to release your inner crazy without adversely affecting your “real” life.But I like the new Ginger too.
Jammie, I don’t mind shopping for drapes, but I draw the line at shams. Qwerty, I’m as loyal as I am sensitive….no matter what awaits at the end of the Rainbo no one’s gonna Yoko our Ono….(or is it Oh-Yes? *eyebrow lifts suggestively*).
i think your ostensible resistance to pillow cases is in itself a sham!
Porn for women?Try Candida Royale’s Femme Productions.Sadly, though, no one’s decided to make pink beer yet. ;P
