Representation of Sexuality

1. 
This poster represents sexuality in a stereotypical way.This is because the woman is small and inferior, tied up as a damsel in distress wearing barely any clothes with a stronger and superior beast dominating her and being made to look a lot larger than the woman. This is a clear representation of sexuality because the woman is shown to be physically weaker than the dominant male or creature.


This poster represents sexuality in a stereotypical way as well because there is a strong man carrying a weak and helpless woman away from the danger surrounding them. This is a clear stereotype of sexuality because the woman is incapable of saving herself, therefore she has to rely on the help of someone who is physically stronger than her. The woman is also wearing minimal pink clothing, which shows that her femininity is a main factor in her character and that she reinforces many stereotypes such as women not being able to defend themselves and needing to look a certain way in order to please the opposite gender.

2. Films such as Flash Gordon and The Attack of The 50 Ft. Woman, which both include aliens played by women who are only there to be seduced by a man. Also it implies that women were limited to to roles that show him as weak or submissive.

3. More often than not, women are regularly depicted for their pride, and they aren't always wearing a lot of clothing.

4. Recently, writes and directors have felt that they have been given the opportunity to push the boundaries of how a heterosexual male and female should be portrayed. This allows them to present sexuality as something with more depth and something that is more relevant for society today.

5. In Torchwood, which was the post watershed spin-off from Doctor Who, Russell T. Davies presented Jack's sexuality as an open book and this is evident with the relationship with another character names Lanto, who played one of his co-workers.

6. Captain Jack's sexuality is never properly revealed, only hinted at, this is because sexuality on a programme such as Doctor Who would not be considered suitable for family viewing, therefore his character would tiptoe around the idea of his sexuality.
