Purchasing pleasure: sex-products billboard, 2010

This Wellington billboard advertises an online sex shop selling a variety of products. Viewers cannot avoid its cheeky reference to the possible pleasures of an active sexual life. The fact that it dominates the side of a high-rise building in the capital city shows how sexuality has become a more overt component of everyday life in the 21st century.
