You know what? I don't think this thread is contributing anything to Kindleboards. This is just me (Leslie) stepping in, not wearing a mod hat (although I suppose I always am) but really...there are definitions out there of pornography, obscenity, etc. Read the whole Lenny Bruce history, it's interesting. And the Hustler guy, too. But giving veiled references to gross YouTubes is just gross. Let's just end it, okay?

I don't think it's any big surprise that I read and enjoy books that have lots of sex in them. I think of them as erotic although I know others would say "erotica" or even soft core porn. I'd be happy -- and would enjoy -- discussions of the books I have read and maybe getting new suggestions on other books to read.

tecwritr, I think your error was to start this thread here ("Not Quite Kindle") with the generic title pornography, which seemed to get people off into a general discussion of what is pornography and then giving examples...mostly to film and video, not books. And that is why I posted my "I'd rather not get into this..." message.

Sorry if I confused people and I really wasn't trying to jump on anyone. Thanks for understanding!

I have a pilot friend who does a lot of stopovers and he told my husband he always checks under the mattress in the hotel to see what mags might have been left behind. I don't know if this is a secret pilot thing or just a people-who-read-those-kind-of-mag thing.

Well, according to Dan Savage, something like 100% of men and 98% of women read/look at porn -- but it's never entered my head to look under the mattress in a hotel! LOL. I just flip on the TV

Which of course, reminds me of this!
