Sex Does Sell

We all know that sex sells. Now there is another new book out on the subject. The book, called The Erotic History of Advertising” and written by University of Alabama professor Tom Reichert, explores the use of sex and sexual imagery over the years from the Civil War era all the way up to today’s Miller Lite CatFight style of advertising.

In this interview by MediaLife, Reichert marvels at the surprising use of sexual imagery and even nudity back in the 1930’s and compares that to today’s more blatant, in your face style of sexually realtyed advwertising.
