Lego Sex
Everything is awesome when it comes to LEGO, even sex. LEGO's immense popularity is demonstrated by its wide usage and representation in diverse formats and cultural works. From movies to TV to sexuality, LEGO has become more than a toy. It is a symbol of change for a generation looking to define itself sexually. LEGO pieces of millions of varieties constitute a defining universal system of acceptance.

Phoebe Cates' Pool Scene
After ending a brief but successful modeling career by seventeen, it took Phoebe Cates less than 24 months to become famous for what Rolling Stone has consistently voted Phoebe Cates' pool scene, as the hottest bikini scene in film history. It would be a defining moment for cinema and the end of innocence for a young Cates. The sexualization of Phoebe Cates began before she was even legal. By the time she was nineteen, it was 1982 and she had done several nude scenes in films like Paradise. Fully nude was fully nude. It seemed coming off the 1970s decade of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, nudity even for a teenager, was more socially acceptable than in the 21st century. Paradise was another version of the cult classic Blue Lagoon where Phoebe’s peer Brooke Shields, also quite young, played a sexually active teenager.

Sex and Voodoo
Cast a spell in New York, have sex with a voodoo doll, make someone have an orgasm in Los Angeles. Perhaps with future studies of Haitian Vodou spirituality, this kind of fantasy can someday be available online. Voodoo sex spells and magic have become the thing of legends, yet they are still practiced by Voodoo priestesses and shysters alike. A once powerful and mystic folkway, the Americanized incarnation of voodoo has bled its way into pop culture.

Did Anna Wintour Work in Porn?
By today's standards, porn is gritty, sweaty, and available in one click. In the late 1970s, under Anna Wintour's guidance, porn at Viva magazine was artistic, beautiful, and exclusive. Before her reign as Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour worked alongside Penthouse Magazine's Bob Guccione to elevate Viva magazine, an adult women's magazine, into a forum that exalted beauty, love, sexuality, and fashion. To Guccione, Viva was the yin to Vogue's yang; for what was nudity but an extension to art that could thrive in the world of fashion? Often on its pages were men and women in the tumults of love-making – accompanied by an engrossing story of their toxic affair – matched with spreads of delicate naked nymphets running in the forest. Ahead of its time, Viva featured the naked body and its pure natural beauty, which today would be excepted as art, but back then was limited by the categorization of "porn."

Showgirls' Elizabeth Berkley
Given her notoriety from Showgirls, it isn’t that surprising that Elizabeth Berkley’s first passion was ballet. A dancer, model, and child actor who had guest starred on Silver Spoons along side fellow child actor Ricky Schroder, Berkley had just turned eighteen when she landed the role of Jessie Spano on the 90s teen hit Saved By the Bell. She was one of the first contemporary teen actresses to transform into a sex symbol on network television. Saved by the Bell first aired in 1989. Six years later, her sexualization was completed with the starring role in the cult classic Showgirls, by renowned director Paul Verhoven. She would set the stage for similar teen transformations like High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens, Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus and Wizard of Waverly Place's Selena Gomez.

Hottest Women Over 40
Perhaps it is my own age, or perhaps it is actually their age specifically that makes this list of women over forty so damn attractive. It goes way beyond their hot bodies and beautiful faces. It is the imperfections that I find most attractive. It is within these imperfections that one finds the deeper, more complicated aspects of these beautiful ladies. A crease in a forehead can be immensely sexy, revealing intimate stories as a woman’s facial expressions change. A few lines around the lips can feel like an intimate invitation. A drop of pretense can mean a world of simplicity.

Subliminal Sexual Advertisements of the 1970s
The famous motto "sex sells" isn’t a new concept. In fact, it may be older than you think. Companies were using risqué and erotic images in advertisements as far back as 1871, with Pearl Tobacco featuring a nude woman on their cigarette packages. Based on the vast number of advertisements throughout history that use nudity, erotic images, innuendos, and other sexual content as a selling device, it would seem that the saying rings true.
