This is the first time I've heard of Lynx, but I don't understand why they would name a personal hygiene product after a wild animal that probably smells terrible in reality.

I've always been amused by the picture on the side of the can. To me it suggests that using Lynx will cause a spontaneous sex-change!

I didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

My husband would consider a morning of watching me try on dresses (especially if they were short and showed a lot of skin), followed by brunch, followed by sex to be a VERY good day indeed. And if I had a substantial amount of bags, he'd certainly offer to carry some of them just because he's a gentleman. I think that's just being nice, because what kind of fellow lets the woman he loves carry a mountain of stuff without offering to help, for heaven's sake?

I wouldn't ask him to carry my purse or get stuff out of it for me though -- that's MY bag and MY stuff.

But when it comes to shopping, I'm decisive and know what looks good on me, so I can pick out a couple of new dresses pretty quick, and my hubby would consider being treated to brunch plenty of reason to go shopping with me. But then, he's an unabashed metrosexual who likes brunch food, and we don't have a dog to manage.

You just gotta know how to phrase these requests. The other day I said: "Hey honey, I need to go pick out a strapless bustier to wear with That One Dress, and it would be great if you could go with me to do up all the back hooks and eyes for me. Afterwards I'll treat you to Happy Hour at that one bar that we like! Come with me, darling, please!"

He popped up like a jack-in-the-box -- The Wife in lingerie plus Happy Hour, ALRIGHT! But then my guy's pretty nifty.

Arcane Rose, the problem I have with it, at least, is that it treats all of this as something that the guy doesn't want to be doing, and in fact hates doing. He's only doing it so his girlfriend will have sex with him. And she's treating him like a glorified servant she pays in sex.

On the other hand, if it had been treating it like the guy wasn't only tolerating it so she'd have sex with him, it probably wouldn't have been so bad. It's the narrative that makes it terrible.

To me the narrative was clearly exaggerated for comic effect -- the fellow doesn't really seem all that miserable. (Hungover, perhaps.) And who doesn't make themselves the much-beleaguered hero of their own interior monologue, Walter Mitty-style? I know I sure do.

Oh come -- terrible is Auschwitz. That's an affluent pair of attractive young lovers out shopping on a glamorous urban high street with their little fluffy dog on a sunny day, making brunch reservations and planning some wild nooky-love afterwards.

I thought the ad was funny, and it did not offend me. But then, I myself am an unabashedly high-maintenance girl who really likes shopping and brunch.

What bothered me is that she was using him - ignoring him, talking on the phone and only paying attention when she wanted something from him. That made it seem like an abusive relationship (along with the narrative) also is lynx the same thing as axe because they look exactly the same. And yes, lynx do smell like shit in real life.

Lynx and Axe are apparently the same. I just looked it up and it's called different things in different countries. I think the ad was funny. In fact, I'm still trying to figure out how sex isn't a barter system? I don't find that offensive at all.

Well then it all makes sense because Axe is known here as something only douchebags use They both seem like a pair of aces . Is sex a barter system? That's a very good question...

Really? I use Axe snake peel. I don't like girly scents and most of the neutral type bodywashes don't exfoliate as well in my opinion.

I think sex can be a lot of things, an expression of love/lust or a commidity to be traded, in or outside of a relationship.
