You could make a reasonable argument for the government to tell people that they should eat healthier or have safer sex, but people will go after food and water and sex because of their natural drives, we don't need commericals for it.

Of course we don't need commercials for it, but we could benefit from them (or whatever campaign would be the most effective).

There is too much (in my opinion) repression of natural sexual desires (coming from America's puritan religious origins) and not enough promotion of them. The fact that healthy sex is virtually absent from government policy is evidence of the puratinistic position. If anything, government policy favors abstention, when it should be promoting the opposite (more practice, not abstention).

There are plenty of government campaigns to promote exercise, nutrition, etc. The "Lets Have More Sex!" campaign should be given a similar budget!
