“The Cultural Impact of the Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman Movie "No Strings Attached" - PRLog (free press release)” plus 1 more |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2011 08:21 AM PST PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 07, 2011 – How much of an impact does popular culture have on our views about sex and relationships? Plenty. With the release of the upcoming film "No Strings Attached" -- which is already stirring up talk on the blogs and late-night shows -- genConnect is hosting an online video discussion examining the movie and its real-life implications. Starring Dr. Marianne Brandon, author of the groundbreaking book Monogamy: The Untold Story, and Dr. Alan Altman, the President of the Society of Women's Sexual Health, these relationship experts are depicting scenes from the film and what it's like in today's culture to engage in a "Friends With Benefits" relationship. "Our culture provides much of the context for the way we understand the world – such as how we perceive and interpret our experiences, and the expectations we hold for ourselves and others," said Dr. Brandon, a clinical psychologist, certified sex diplomat through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), and Director of Wellminds Wellbodies LLC in Annapolis, Maryland. "Our culture influences whether we think insects are good eatin', if we think going topless in public is appropriate, and whether or not sexual monogamy is reasonable." At a time when monogamy is the it subject in Hollywood movies, several questions emerge in people's minds, including: Will these popular films influence how we view monogamy? Find all this out and more during the genConnect "No Strings Attached" Video Event, which kicks off January 10th. For more details, contact events@genConnect.com.
