When he was talking about the image above, I did not understand what he was trying to say. It was for the topic "Examples of Socially Constructed "Appropriate" Sex." When he was explaining the image, he talked about how the image is "implicitly telling us that oral sex occurs and need condoms for protection."
What I got from this image is that, "you can have a good time but if you want sex be safe about it." The image has champagne and a heart shaped box with chocolates in them which shows signs of romance but with the condoms it means there is something more. Because it has a romantic feeling, it is showing sex should happen with someone that you love and care about. Socially that is how people understand sex but in reality that does not happen. For example guys usually show how masculine they are through how many times they have slept with women. Also socially people know that they should wear condoms when having sex but that does not happen. Even though there is a solid meaning of what sex is, it seems that people do not want to see it fully. In media, when couples have sex there is no consequences that happen. Audiences that watched the movie is not going to think that they had worn a condom that is why nothing happen after. People are going to think that the couples who had unprotected sex have nothing happen to them so why should they?
