I know that "sex sells" and I'm not implying that sex is bad, but I think the message that using lust to make a profit is ultimately doing more harm than good. And I'm referring to all types of media: magazines, tv, movies, radio, stereotypes, etc...

Sex only sells because society makes people thing being naked and having sex is "bad" or "wrong". If people would stop getting bent out of shape when they see a naked body and realize it is natural, it wouldn't sell so well.
The silly part is that bible thumpers are the ones that try to make sex and nudity bad, when they should promote it. Think about it, when god made adam and eve, he didn't give them clothes. They became ashamed of thier body and covered up after the original sin of eating the apple. God wants you to be naked and have sex, why else would it be the way to procreate and continue our species.

in response to this:
the "bible thumpers" don't try to make sex and nudity bad. true Christians understand that sex is a wonderfully sacred thing that should only be shared between a man and woman that have been made one by God himself...not the whore you hired on the street or some random chick you had a one-night stand with..or even that person you swore you were going to marry but ended up breaking up with. you must understand that sex is perfectly okay, that is, when you are married to the person. Nudity, on the other hand, is not okay because though there may be people out there, like yourself, who see the human body as a natural thing, there are many men and women out there who see it as a way to lust. the reason it is wrong is because many times these men and women are married or in relationships (and nobody should be lusting to begin with) and as it is stated in the book of matthew (i think) "if you have sinned in the flesh(eyes,skin,or w/e) you have sinned in your heart."..or something like that.had adam and eve not committed the first sin, we'd all be walking around naked and other and men could look at those naked women without getting any boners.
in response to the original question:
there IS too much lust in society. the sad part is, that everyone seems to be okay with it. but i'm not. i feel that if men and women alike are ever truly in love they would not lust at others because not only is it wrong, but you shouldn't do it out of respect towards your partner. i'm 15 years old. i'm currently doing an expository essay on increasing lust in society. turns out more than 50% of people are now getting divorces(which studies show that when their children reach ages of adulthood they begin to have problems with relationships). more kids are being exposed to sex at an early age (which turns out to distort unready minds causing homosexuality in the younger ones), the pregnancy rate is down..but i read an article about a bunch of 4th-6th graders fornicating at the back of the school bus.
you can't tell me people learn to live this way by reading the bible and having family game nights..
sometimes i wonder whether i'm the only one seeing how much our society is turning into crap just because everyone wants to have sex.
the media is distroying our morals.

I guess its all a matter of opinion. My opinion is its nothing without love or a lot of feeling for the person your having the sex with. To me its an emotional bond and with out that it means nothing. Anyone can lay down for a quickie but its so shallow. I think it ends up making people feel worse instead of better. The guilt enters if you have a conscious. Course we all know some people lack that.

Yes and it's soooo sad. The mystery, sensuality, anticipation and wonder are all gone from sex. Every time you switch the TV on. open a magazine or switch on your PC , there it is being sold or selling something. I even find myself getting nostalgic these days , when i hear Sarah Buxton singing " innocence " . Guess I'm getting old sighhhhhhhh lol

AMEN!!!
Because sex is good, we shouldn't ruin it by serving it up ad nausium they way it's done. They're taking the joy out of it by overexposing it. It's wrong, especially when they pervert it to add shock value and the youth get exposed to that as the "norm". It's sad.
