Regardless of what the movie Spring Breakers portrayed, one thing that is true is that sex sells. Even if its porn movies, videos or even books, it is true that people will be attracted towards sex.

The philosophical position of "ethical egoism" is examined with reference to the moral question of abortion. Ethical egoism is defined in terms of its stated claim--that individuals should maximize rational self-interest--but also in terms of the universalist and Kantian ethical stances it has been constructed to oppose.
