I've got to say, I don't think this is a fair article.

It's obvious that they're using sex to sell health awareness, but I don't think it's fair for us to criticize this.

Personally, I love sex. I think that as a culture, we're starting to finally get past the "sex is objectification, men are predators' sort of attitude. I'm personally bitter I wasted my time feeling guilty about sex, but I think it's good we're moving past. It's good that women are comfortable being sexual beings.

Additionally, even if I am a bit bitter, I certainly shouldn't have it both ways: either I like looking at women's bodies, or it's wrong for them to use sex to bring awareness for something. I don't think it's fair to call them out when I like porn as much as I do.

Breast Cancer awareness has done an excellent job of teaching me there is only one kind of cancer affecting women and that men don't get cancer unless they are icky tobacco using rednecks.
