I've never met an asexual person. Are they are big market segment these days?
On the flipside. I would rather see a sexy image than a violent image and
as nearly all professional music these days is targeted at human sexuality
- Love/Sex being interchangeable in the modern Pop music lexicon - maybe
they should have more sexual images on their marketing material if they
are trying to get to the kind of people who are making that kind of
music...
