It's tough to think about, but I would guess that over half of the alcohol advertisement (any ads really) also include provocative and sexual portrayal... how this might affect those dealing with sex addiction.

The 2nd episode is about an alien that feeds of sexual energy--and planet earth is an all-you-can-eat buffet. The alien inhabits a young woman's body of course and goes on a sex-mad spree. One problem is that when the man climaxes he vaporizes. Not so good. The girl/alien walks around town and is overwhelmed by all the sexual imagery. The show makes the point that there is no safe place from such a world. Anyway, your post reminded me of that and of the Dove soap campaign for real beauty. They have a video of a girl be bombarded with sexual images. Sigh. Have you ever seen the BBC sci-fi show Torchwood?
