flynt and his filthy dirty magazine

[Henry M]

"Responding" to GR is a little different from responding Hustler, at
least it is for me. Funny thing about GR: the "hottest" scene that
sticks out in my mind is with Bianca, in spite of her age. Perhaps 
pointing to Lolita, a great work of art about obscession. Lolita, or 
the Anubis orgy sure don't arouse me in the least. Not all sex is 
"sexy," any more than all literature literate. 

Chacun a son gout. My preference in erotica runs more to a 
certain, special someone and a bottle of wine, perhaps with the 
frisson of being in the woods or a meadow, or a room with people in
the next room (or not). But that's my preference, it isn't something I
bought from Them, and your mileage may vary.
