The disclaimers at the ends of those commercials would make a fanstastic SNL sketch! I laugh every time I hear "...and contact your doctor if..."

Erin - You may be right on what is so bothersome about that commercial. It is kind of creepy. Maybe that's why they asked me what it was.

While I am not a prude either, I don't think these ads should force me to tell my kids about sex "additives" and, as in the commercial you talked about, strip bars. Never in my parenting life did I ever think I would be telling my kids about K-Y. LOL.

AMN - When you listen to those disclaimers it's enough to scare you off from even asking a dr about trying the med. Who in their right mind would run out and ask for a drug that causes headache, nausea, diarrhea, drowsiness, vision trouble, increase of appetite, weight gain, runny nose, increased risk of blood clots, high blood pressure, and respiratory illnesses, . . . .blah, blah, blah. He!! no! I wouldn't run and ask my dr for any of that carp. LOL.

i agree TK and their comercials prior to this current one, where not done in good taste. and as to my youngsters seeing it, I would pop a cork at the channel airing the commercial and the company who produces KY

a number of advertisments have gone too far

Nothing is sacred anymore. I can remember being embarrassed by the Playtex Bra commercials and the model had a flesh colored shirt underneath it.

AMN....hahahaha
hubby used to always add to that commercial...if you have a ::::::: lasting four hours..... he would add...heck dont see a doctor...go visit all the lonely housewives in the neighborhood...hehehehehe


Well most adds dont bother me, I talk very often to the kids openly about stuff...with what I hear kids talking about in school hours....I would be surprised if most kids dont hear about extras when it comes to sex..and all...

I usually joke when a wierd ad comes on, about stuff with the kids...hugss,sarah

I always thought my daughters didn't know anything! I think the day they came home from their first day in 6th grade they were already experts.

BTW, I can imagine what is in the females version of the KY thingy but what do they put in the mens version?

I dont think your husband would enjoy having priapism...from what I've heard it's extremely painful and can damage the "equipment". (as in, they may need to REMOVE that particular piece of equipment if it becomes gangrene)

It's considered a medical emergency. (they aspirate/remove blood from an area with a big needle as a treatment...at least for the initial treatment if it's gotten to early enough)

So, any males here...if this particular problem happens to you, leave the females alone and get to the doctor as soon as you can.

(gosh, I hope the forum moderators dont go after me for posting info on that problem and the treatment...if they do, I'm sorry!!!! I tried not to use any "bad" words. I was going to link to the Wiki page, but didnt think the picture was appropriate...it was a wall painting from Pompeii)

I remember the days when the model wearing the bra on TV was not allowed to move a muscle, or she would violate the Decency Act and be outed from television!

I agree it was the tampons and other "female" health product ones that had me so very embarrassed, but we haven't had any of those other ones you've all mentioned on TV here in Oz yet!

No KY jelly. No ED, and most definitely no Viagra advertisements.

I get plenty of them via SPAM in my emails..... but I've not seen them on TV.

I'm not quite sure if the reason is because our censorship moguls have cut them out of our TV veiwing, or whether that sort of stuff just hasn't reached here yet!

I'd like to think the former.

I agree with the whole lot of you. The K-Y commercial also comes on here in NC at a very early time. My son, 15, of course asked what it is used for. And like most of you, we try to be honest with our son about sex and give the details appropriate to age. So OMG, what to say. We tried to explain it in the best terms that we could and he replied "oh like 'motion lotion'". my heart went down to my knee's. His first year in high school and he says that.

So of course DH and I had to ask what exactly he knows about ML and who told him about it. We have always had an open line of communication in our house when he has questions about sex. So he promptly said that he just heard kids talking about it and then seeing the commercial made him put two and two together. Of course further discussion went on. He is a very smart and bright young man and (maybe I am bias) but as a Christian family he knows what the bible says about marriage and sex.

I was watching something on t.v. the other night and I heard it put this way - "First the ring, THEN the thing". I thought that was cute in it's own way. Makes the point that is for sure.

the Viva Viagra commercial, if I ever find the people who created that I will totally lose my mind. YOU DO NOT play on and ELVIS tune like that. Disrespectful...



All of the above is how I feel when I see that commercial.

I guess I take my ELVIS a little too seriously...lol
