Anyone who works in the advertising world knows that sex sells, but how risqué an ad actually gets is up to the brand. Many companies, even top brands, have tried anything from simply using a beautiful woman to using shocking images that are flagrantly sexual, even on posters, TV commercials, and even billboards. However, my view is that unless a brand look is based on sex, a middle-of-the-road approach to eroticism is best. With this in mind, the following are a few of my favorite ads that tastefully spice up the message without going overboard.
