I'm not especially good at picking up when advertisers are trying to use sex to sell to me. I've always felt that having the most fashionable clothes/ the clearest skin/ the shiniest hair/ the lowest dress size is actually more about competing for status with other women than attracting men (since women tend to notice and care about these things more than men do). I have no problem seeing when they are using sex to sell to men, though, because it's usually pretty blatant and I always feel kind of insulted on their behalf.

Overall, I would say my cynicism probably has more influence over my resistance to advertising than my greysexuality (or my feminism, or my introversion, or my low self-esteem).
