If what we are fussing over are advertisements for medications such as Cialis and Viagra in hunting magazines, and especially television,
Nope - the ads in question aren't for the legitimate prescription drugs, but for the *miracle* wonder ointments of dubious worth.
The other *instructional* videos are another matter altogether. I can't vouch for the content as to whether it's hard core, soft core or no core. The wording of the ads does lead one to believe that they are graphic hard core videos though.
12 year old boys are not going to need erectile enhancers or even read the advertisements any way.
Viagra (prescription meds)- no, probably not.
Some *wonder* ointment that's *guaranteed to deliver the ability to drive a woman insane with pleasure over the enhanced virility of her partner* - - well, teenagers are an impressionable lot. Lots and lots of teens in my generation took up smoking for instance to enhance our "marketability" to the other sex.
Here's a link to one example:

The ad in the magazine - March 2006 Guns and Ammo reads:
Dear Readers,
I know my column usually focuses on nightlife, hot spots, and the "latest and greatest" new trends.
<snip>{The author tells of her dancing at a nightclub called Jimmy Z's and being picked up by a stranger she met on the dance floor}
We drank chamagne, danced, gambled, and eventually ended up back at his sea side condo. I know every girl says this, but a one night stand is a very rare occurence for me.
and so on and so on
The *article* is titled "Travel, Lifestyle and Relationships" By Ilana Murphy.
The *ads* really read like a soft core version of the letters to Penthouse.
Anyhow - I thought most of you should know what type of ads are being objected to. It's pretty clear that most are not talking about the same ads.
