Use Of Diction And Its Effects On Adult Men With Erectile Dysfunction

The commercial shown in figure 1 is for a perfume called ‘the one gentleman’ which Matthew Mcconaughey a well-known actor did for Dolce & Gabbana, a trade mark for designer products. The commercial tells us that this is a body spray to use when one wants to be seen as a gentleman. In reality a gentleman is not a man who just uses this body spray, but a man is seen as a gentleman by certain attributes society sees as being acceptable. Commercials like these can really have an impact because the viewer wants to look like the person with the body spray, and themselves be perceived as a gentleman. The unspoken

Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the advertiser’s study all the ways that they can attract the person’s attention. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products

The commercial portrays two manly men in the masculine environment driving on an all-terrain vehicle in the jungle, battling snakes and shooting lasers to each other. The main idea of the commercial is that used to be feminine diet drink is made by Dr. Pepper “not for women.” The language used in the commercial triggers emotions in younger males saying them

Magazine advertising share a common message theme: SEX SELLS. Advertising uses sexual content such as sexual or erotic images, and words or phases to attract the attention of the consumer who then notice the product. This form of advertising has been used for centuries dating back to the 1800s. The famous tobacco company W. Dukes & Sons Tobacco, used a strategy to sell tobacco in 1885, by inserting trading cards of sexually provocative actresses into their tobacco packages 3 ( see image #1 4). W. Dukes & Sons became the leading tobacco companies by 1890. How about this slogan “To make your skin flawless” from Woodbury’s Facial Soap company. The soap company was near its end in the early 1900s. To boost their sales, they changed their advertising. They had previously used images of a doctor’s face on their soap wrappers and advertising. Instead, they incorporated images of romantic couples showing attractive, young beautiful women along with slogans as “A Skin You Love to Touch” 5 to increase their sales. This strategy was very effective. The advertisement contained a couple; a young beautiful woman looking straight ahead and a handsome man looking at her. The male model is holding her right hand with his left arm is wrapped around her, holding her close to him. This gives the viewer the idea that the two models are a couple. The slogan in the

Everyone has heard the phrase “sex sells.” It seems to be a major factor that drives people to buy. Advertisers manipulate this behavior by creating ads that showcase their products as a way to gain love, beauty, and desirability. Advertisers frequently use sex appeal with flirtatious images as an attention grabbing device to play with the public’s emotions. Because the public is a diverse group of individuals, it is difficult to target the masses by focusing on hobbies, sports, or flaws. Because of this, advertisers target sexuality, something everyone can relate to. In the February, 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, they overtly demonstrate this. In an ad for Kinky Vodka, they represent multiple sexual innuendoes such as provocative body posing, stereotypical feminine colors, and seductive wording.

Advertisers use many tactics to sell their product. They can all be grouped into Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle; which include ethos, pathos, and logos. Including a sense of credibility, facts and statistics, and reaching into the buyer’s emotion are all ways advertisers produce a persuasive argument in order to get more business. One of the most popular ways to persuade is using the portrayal of sex to do so. J.J. Boddewyn, a journalist, states “ads that are indecent, sexist, sexy, exhibit violence to woman or treat them as mere objects present a constant and even growing problem in many countries (par. 1).” An advertisement that can be applied here is for Godiva chocolate. This ad contains a model showing the chocolate in her hand, along with the word ‘GODIVA’ written largely, and some smaller words around it. Digging a little deeper, it’s not just any model, but a very attractive one. She is dressed in what looks to be sleepwear, and a cardigan draping off her shoulders. Not only that, her makeup is very dark around the eyes, making them look more sultry and seductive. The Godiva campaign uses sex appeal to sell their chocolate. Pathos can be seen by the provocative woman, which would attract more male buyers. Ethos is portrayed through the text in the ad and who the model is. There is a lack of logos or facts to support the argument.

The ad is trying to sell old spice body wash but does it in an unconventional way, it instead claims that old spice will make you “smell like a man not a lady.” The commercial establishes ethos by using a man who has several features that are considered manly, like a deep voice and muscles. The ad affects the audience by making men think that Mustafa is a man because he uses old spice, I will buy some so I can become more of man. However the add mainly addresses women saying things like “Sadly your man is not me but he could smell like me if he used old spice body wash.” This convinces men that they will be more liked by women if they use Old Spice body

Although Oscar Mayer presents their product to everybody, Oscar Mayer opens the market more for women by having no added hormone ingredients, which could affect women’s maternal organs, whereas other products might have added hormones. The magazine that this ad is located in makes this type of product good for women because it’s in the WomensHealth magazine. These types of details or messages that

It is bold and captures the readers attention. The white font on the blue background causes it to pop off the page. Reading the phrase in the middle of the ad Secret wants the reader to know that women work harder then men and that they are under a lot of stress which is why they need a deodorant that will last for a long time. They use a young woman because that is who they are trying too attract to buy there product. The woman has a young, fun and hip style compared to the men who have a bland style. It is almost as if the men need her to change things up and add color to there group. The Secret deodorants blending into the sky represents a sense freedom and freshness. The woman pushing on the cement slab to the top represents how expectations are high for women, and things are made harder and impossible for women. They have to go above and beyond than men have to. The ad shows how things do not come easy for

Erectile dysfunction’ is the failure to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual experience. It affects 150 million men globally. In March1998, Viagra (Sildenafil) was the first oral medication approved for use in ‘erectile dysfunction. Viagra had a very successful launch with a total of 600,000 prescriptions filled in the first month (April 1998), and instantly became a phenomenon for ED patients. Unfortunately, after six months Viagra suffered a huge setback when the FDA received reports of 130 deaths of patients taking Viagra; over half the incidents were cardiovascular related. Viagra

In addition, due to limited resources, it was important to determine how marketing efforts should be targeted between physicians and patients. One possible option would be target both groups in the same manner in addition to targeting in a balanced manner. Another option includes marketing to the men and their partners so as not to alienate anyone in the process. Moreover, with Viagra’s five-year market advantage, doctors’ satisfaction with the drug was beginning to grow and there was a

The use of sex in advertising may create unrealistic ideals for men regarding women, however, it is a powerful tool for selling products. Through the years advertisers have shown through their advertisements that sex does sell products. Especially when selling to the male viewers. Sex is the second strongest of the psychological appeals, right behind self-preservation, and its strength is biological and instinctive, the genetic imperative of reproduction (Taflinger). Sexual desire is an instinctive reaction in animals, and a person?s perception of a suitable mate is the basis (Taflinger). That perception is usually a set of criteria that the opposite sex must meet, and those that meet and exceed those criteria will provide the chance for

Representations of men in media have a different approach—they tend to focus on strength, power, physique, independence, etc… The first ad portrays a clearly athletic, strong, male individual. His expression is one of determination and focus—He’s not going to let anyone get in his way. He is aggressive, and overflowing with testosterone. It is unclear what the product is, something to do with athletic performance. The next image is fitted with the caption “Always A Champion”, making it simple to realize this ad is all about the male ego. This man has a very intimidating expression, one of strength and—almost anger. His positioning shows off his clearly muscular arms and his aura is almost overpowering. In both images, the idea that a true man should be strong, aggressive, etc… is presented. For any normal male individual viewing this ad, he would feel like that is what he should be—if he was a “real man”.

Advertising is an important form of communication between products and customers. How to get viewers’ attention is first thing need to consider for advertising. Sexual appeal is become very useful tool in advertising, and it use is increasing. The sex appeal has a very long history, the first sex appeal advertising was introduced in 1911 by Woodbury’s Facial Soap (Campaign,2014). Once this advertising is released it has caused an enormous controversy, it is considered so risqué and inappropriate by several readers, even their cancelled their subscriptions to the magazine immediately (O’Barr,2011) . However, by today’s sexually liberated standards, this advertising already is positively chaste. During the next 93 years, sex is become a

sexualized women, and masculinized men, Barbasol also sold relationships between the two as a benefit of their shaving cream. In Barbasol’s “#1 In Close-Ups” 1946 advertisement, the print shows a close-up of a couple while they are kissing. Both genders are present here. They are formally dressed, and they seem to be content with each other. The woman is dressed appropriately. Moreover, the product is advertised to be good for “close-ups,” and not only shaving. This is another example of subliminal advertising that does not psychologically appeal to sex, but still successfully appeal to Barbasol’s targeted audience in a subconscious manner.
