Hahaha!

Damn, I love it when the GQ mods move a thread with style. 🙂  
OP: I buy porn. A lot. And it’s usually for me, not the boyfriend.

I also look at it on the Net.

Some stuff you just can’t get in Oklahoma.

I used to love Leg Show, but once I got the net I was like Why Bother? Its 20 times more hardcore online than in those 9 dollar mags, and its free!

Well, I’m not going to go into too much detail, because it’s, well, gross. But a sizable sector of it revolves around erotic uses for…well…excrement.

What? I _said_ it was gross.

**Sofa King,** you worked at the Crown Books next to the Tower Records on Route 7? I used to go in there all the time before the Borders opened; wasn’t aware you even had bathrooms. 🙂

I always hated buying Playboy, because I was never able to shake my embarrassment. (Why aren’t there vending machines for skin magazines like there are in Japan?) Plus, invariably in the checkout line, either in front of or behind me would be a family with small children and I felt obligated to try to keep the _Lingerie Special_ out of their line of sight.

\<—has never purchased a porn mag. Ever.

Oh, I’ve rented some videos & stuff, and looked at a little on the net, but looking at pictures doesn’t do as much for me, I guess.

Got nothing against it, though. And the times that I’ve watched it…well, it’s been pleasurable. 😃

I have bought a couple, but not for many years.

I have come to find that Porn Mags are like pens. You never buy them, but you always seem to have some in the house some how.

Wait a minute…you mean to tell me that the fact that I don’t have any porn mags in the house could be the reason I can’t ever seem to find a pen in the house?

And what porn would you recommend for me to use in the search for my long-lost Cross pen? 😉

Oooo! A Cross pen! Those can be very nice! I would suggest something like Penthouse. (Hustler is too ‘low brow’ for a pen like that!)
