"As far as I can tell, if you are opposed to sex in advertising, you are opposed to sex."

That's like saying, if you are opposed to prostitution, you are opposed to sex. This simply is not the case. It's not even logical. Most things can be used in wholesome and unwholesome ways- you can often use the same herb to kill or heal. I think we can say the same about sex. Being "for" the more salubrious aspects of sex, and against ones that seem less wholesome is not to be against sex, any more than being against junk food is "against" eating. I would say that at the end of the day what we think is wholesome is a judgment call based on what we want to see in the world, but that's the way it is with almost all moral judgment calls.
