I even looked a couple of times - it is amazing how certain titles attract one's attention nay, lots of attention but few replies. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Could people making posts headed "sex "please add pictures to their posts.I am particulary interested in the chart table and swinging on the spinnaker halyard methods.

There are now over 1100 viewings of the Sex thread. Now supposing we renamed our sport SEX instead of SAILING, do you think we would gain any Media interest?
Might have to up the anti a bit to make it more visually exciting. See-through oilies perhaps; or penalty points for well-endowed men and women. Then there would be the measuring, now that would be a good visual sport in its own right. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
But somehow I don't think Ellen MacArthur had to go to all this trouble to get sponsorship.
But then, sex instead of talent, to give the rest of us a chance??
Anybody feel like expanding this concept?

Probably pervos/saddos sitting at their computers in plastic macs doing a Google on 'Sex' - bet they're disappointed. Tee hee /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As no one else seems to have risen to the bait
and expanded the concept, I suppose I might point out
that the subject matter is all around us most of the
time. Just think, so many advertisments use sex to sell us things
TV ads do the same. Even relatively innocent programs
tend to use attractive young ladies(or men) Carry on type films
were full of innuendo. Men are supposed to think of it
every 30 seconds (as long apart as that?).
Bring back Victorian days I say.
Dear me, I'm ranting on like Mrs Woodhouse (or was it Whitehouse?)

I agree that we are in saturation mode where sex is involved. The adage that 'sex sells' is and probably always will be true. Somewhere else on the forum poor Shipswoofy is bemoaning the loss of his manhood, so he is still thinking about what he has missed (shouldn't he be Shipsqueeky?). And generally it is girls, not always scantily clad, who are the central subject matter.
The thing is that our sailors won more gold medals at the Olympics, and the media ignored them. Sailing, as a spectator sport isn't very quick a lot of the time, and can be very complicated. But cricket is slow too. And as for snooker and darts, well, who watches those activities.
(Metaphorical dive for cover here, as some of you actually do seem to watch cricket!! Can't think why.)
So, slow skilled activities are worth watching for the great British Public, (if well explained) but sailing isn't. Probaly because it is still considered the rich peoples sport. Like hunting, remember that thread?
I would suggest some media education, if only I could think of a way of doing it. The concept of GB being a 'great maritime Nation' is for me a great maritime joke. Now the French; well certainly!!
