Thanks to the internet, the world is now a smaller place. If someone posts something up, whether that is an article or a photo, people can access that article or pic from all over the world. This means that over in the UK, we are now heavily influenced by the culture in America. Nearly all the content that is put online from the USA is in English so we hardly even notice the difference when we read it. There are a number of things that have come over from the USA when it comes to our reading. Included among that is definitely the hot women! There are some stunning America models and actresses that have a huge following over here England or Scotland. Large parts of the USA have also embraced the fuck buddy culture even more than we have and adult dating is strong over there. So many of the fuck buddy advice articles that you might find have been written in America. A lot of the online information on how to have a friends with benefits, which is an American phrase, us also written in the USA because that is where the wording originated from. Thus what we think of as a sexy pic has been altered by America, and pictures of girls with guns is a great example of something that has only grown due to them being imported in.
Here in the UK, we have very strict gun control, so the number of people with access to a handgun is limited. In America, it is completely different. You have the right to bear arms, and this means being able to buy everything from a small .22 rifle, through to an M16! When I was shopping over there in Walmart for my groceries, I passed the ammunition aisle where I could pick up a whole range of bullets, some of which were especially powerful. What America has done, is make guns sexy.
Guns have become sexy for a number of reasons. Firstly, they represent power, and power is almost always sexy. Next, they tend to be long, phallic, objects, and thus reflective of sex in their imagery. I think the biggest thing that has made them sexy is how they have been marketed. In the USA, gun sellers actively make and push pictures of sexy women with guns. They push the images, making the mind associate a gun with a hot girl. The more they do it, the more we think about sex when we think of guns, and then the more they produce pictures of girls with guns. A lot of girls have voluntarily, without a financial incentive, posted pictures of themselves with guns. This adds to the overall image and relationship that we have between guns and sex in our minds.
Want to try this out? If you are a girl, snap a picture of yourself with a weapon and pop it up as your fuck buddy profile picture and see the extra hits that you get. Guns have become sexy, fact!
