Pirate's problem is not how to keep himself from searching out pornography.
It comes to him, so to speak.

On a related subject, anybody else think that TRP's reference to "tyrosine"
on p. 71 might be a clue about how to read Slothrop's name, "Tyrone"?
Tyrosine metamorphoses into melanin, rendering visible a previously
invisible message, after application of "seminal fluid".

Reminds me of the woman kidnapped by Indians in M&D, in the Captive's Tale:
"They were her Express,-- she was their Message." p. 515

So, application of "seminal fluid" to Tyrone reveals what message? He gets
fucked and tells us what?
