Sex In The Paintball Industry

Sex sells, simple as that. On my street here in Orlando, a young lady got a food permit and dresses in a bikini flaunting her fake boobs for extra cash. She makes alot of money.
If used right, and not overly gratuitous, sex in paintball is fine by me, but maybe thats just my marketing experience poking through.

You got that right.

I think his point is that the target audience is too young for this. And it's one of several things that I feel is choking the paintball industry, and isolating it from the mainstream. It's not letting us get past the adolescent/extreme sport only stage. It's also telling girls that they aren't really welcome as serious players in this sport.

Sorry, but your post screams spam for your church site. Sorry but if I want to look at porn, I'm going to.

Its not bad.

there are a lot of women who are interested in paintball. potentially great players. some of them are probably at the crossroads, where they have to decide whether they really wanna take this sport seriously or whether they just wanna move on to other things....like cheerleading....and seeing strippers dancing around in magazines and at tournies i'm sure turns them away from paintballing.

but personally, i do like looking at attractive women in skimpy clothes. its just not appropriate in every situation.

quik: I didn't mean to make is sound like I'm spaming for that website. I just wanted to show that there is hope and that this website is a great step in the right direction. I am interested in your thoughts on why looking at porn is ok, just curious to see what your answer to that is.

My problem isn't necessarily with the ads or magazines. It's with the social acceptance of these ads and magazines. Several of your post just proved that you accept it and even like it. I believe porn is wrong and that sex should be saved for marriage. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but that's the point I'm trying to make. We've become numb to it all and like zorrotmm said, it's the marketing to the kids that I'm against.

The main reason for my post is not to depress anyone or bash on the paintball ad industry, but more to get your attention and show that there is an issue with it and that there is hope through www.xxxchurch.com

It may not be directly targeting the paintball industry, but it's a great start in bringing back morals and helping guys clean up their act. I know it's sure helped me.

No kidding, when I bring female friends to certain paintball field im acually embarrased at the kinds of ads and magazines there. I feel sorry for girls who play because of the objectification of girls that takes place in the sport. (ex take a look at pb nations avatars)
I think it would be a huge step forward if paintballers would find a different way of marketing the game. and it doesnt always sell, I bought a copy of splat magazine and I was going to subscribe but when I saw the picture of a scantily clad model on the subscription card I just threw it away. And a young guy shouldnt be surrounded by this kind of thing, it just isnt healthy.

Guys have enough trouble as it is trying to deal with temptations from TV and online. The sport of paintball, for some, is a way to escape those pressures of the sexually corrupt world.

I have no trouble dealing with "temptation" at all anymore. I was raised a neurotic christian, and it took me years to shed the slough of sexual repression. I'm feeling much better now. Procreation is an integral part of human existence ... that's how we evolved ... and I'm at peace with that.

I don't have issues with the feelings I get from beautiful women. I like women, a LOT, and I don't feel guilty about it or live in fear of going to an imaginary hell for indulging in simple human sexuality.

You have every right not to be sexual. I simply have a different world view.

So in reality your issue is with porn, not with paintball. Maybe you could take it to a porn forum and refrain from pimping your web site here.

What movie was it from where they brought up a fair point. "America was founded by protestant prudes who thought England wasnt strict enough." or something to that affect
So they went on their merry way and formed America, a sexually oppressed country. In comparison to our European counterparts we ARE kind of boring. They use sex to sell... I dunno Orange Juice for example in europe as a regularly aired television commercial or something.
For those who disagree and such, ho hum. Its just something I noticed growing up, how sex is so taboo in this country

No, he posted a first hand report on what he witnessed at a major paintball event, and interjected his personal opinion of the whole situation.

I agree completely with him. There is no purpose or sane reason for having underage (that means wayyyy too young) scantily clad girls strutting about as if willing to have sex with anyone...at a venue that is particularly targeted toward young boys and teens.

As an adult, and a father, It "irks" me to see this in an industry and game that relies on honesty and trust. Don't tell me "sex sells", when was the last time you bought anything paintball related JUST because the package or advertisement sported some skanky pictures?
