Sex Paper
Brief Paragraph #1
Lubricants is the sexual product I chose. I decided to pick these sexually related products because there
are many different kinds, and they all represent different meanings and ideas to reach the same sexual
pleasure at the end. Walmart is the location for researching these sexual products. I chose this location,
because it was a convenience to me at the time.
Brief Paragraph #2
The products I researched that were displayed in Walmart gave market to a population of different
categories. Majority of the lubricants come from the KY brand, while the others are from Trojan and
Durex. Two of the KY products spotlight the male spectrum of sexuality and can be used by any category
of men. On the other hand, there were two different KY brands that highlighted the market use of
couples. The use of the female-only population was emphasized through another one of the KY
products. The Trojan lubricant markets both the female and male spectrum of sexuality, no matter their
preference in the population. Durex promotes the usage of their product to both the male and female
spectrum, but mainly to the audience of women.

Starting with the products, KY Ultra gel and KY True Feel which stresses usage of the male audience. Both
of these products were placed in blue packaging, which symbolizes the imagery of male-only use. The KY
Ultra gel package represented an ocean-like illustration that indicates the meaning that intercourse
should include wetness and slipperiness between partners. Located on the package, the words "not too
thick or thin" gives the idea for the item inside to be just right to use for sex. The context behind the
word "smooth" on the box gave emphasis of the ease and trouble- free idea when it comes to putting
the liquid on the penile region. Further, it gives the notion the individual will barely notice you have the
item on during a sexual act. The indication of the sex product being non-greasy, and sticky gives a sense
that the vagina shouldn't be messy, gooey, or oily in sense when a sexual act occurs. Moving on to the KY
True Feel product, which represented a dark masculine picture of sexuality. "Premium Silicone Lubricant"
was labeled on the box, which displays the message to males this is the best, top-notch product to use
for a sexual action. "Non-irritating" underlines the product being comforting and soft for the penile and
vagina region; instead of becoming irritated during sex. On top of that, the box accents on being a long-
lasting, which heightens the moisture for the sexual interaction to last longer. The increase of this
moisture will allow for a more intimate, connected bond for the individuals during intercourse. The
common message that I primarily took note of were the number one doctor recommended label on both
products, which gives the impression that doctors highly considered these lubricants as the most
acceptable for sexual intercourse.
Next, the focus of the sex products from a couples perspective. KY Love Passion and KY Yours and Mines
underlines the sexual usage for individuals who are in relationships. Beginning with KY Love Passion,
which was packaged in a mixture of pink and dark pink colors. These colors gave me the indication of
very intimate, love-making sex between partners. This package gives the message of being able to
amplify the passion between 2 people by adding this exciting sensation. Additionally, this high passion
can lure you and your partner to learn new sexual pleasures. These meanings create a stigma of sexual
