I guess I live on a planet where leaving your porn out in the open is just blatantly disrespectful, regardless of "who you think you are". And it isn't just men that have to go to work and appease a group of people, women do as well. It's called being professional. For example, I can curse like a truck driver, but I know there is a time and a place for that. If it's too much trouble to put your porn away for company, then you're too immature to be having ladies over to begin with. :rolleyes |

i agree. youre right about all of that. i could only give a mans prespective. playboy magazine is hardly pornographic. most guys consider that one adult magazine to be the only one thats acceptable to not hide. 99.9% of us hide the rest. |

Umm... yeah... I just had this argument with an Ex. You see, yes, indeed, Playboy actually *is* porn. If it was not porn, people under the age of 18 would be allowed to buy it from stores, but they are in fact NOT allowed to buy it. The only thing that makes you, and people in my generation try to claim that Playboy isn't porn is that you are all totally desensitized from internet porn. If you asked your father if Playboy was porn, I'd be willing to bet he'd say it was. Just because it isn't as extreme as internet porn doesn't negate the fact that it is porn. It is simply a less extreme form of pornography. And guess what? 99.9% of girls will be REALLY offended to walk into a guy's bathroom they barely know (or hell even one they DO know) and see that crap on the counter. We don't need to know what you just used to do you know what with, that crap needs to be put away, and I'm not alone in this sentiment. There are a lot of girls out there that don't wanna see that crap, for real. God. :rolleyes |

I love the holidays, especially the music and decorations. Not big on doing things with family though I don't mind a small get together. |

pornographic - obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, esp. those having little or no artistic merit. sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal. i didnt think playboy was porngraphic before the internet was even available! i did think it was sexy when i was young though. it does fit in the "to cause sexual arousal" dept though. but this is not worth argueing about. most guys i know dont have it lieing out in the open though, but if they do and you sont like it, thats fine. but what the heck was this doing in the fan of the holidays section again!

I love the holidays. In my head, the autumn and winter holidays are tinged gold like the sheen of recently polished wood reflecting christmas lights. There's a warmth to these memories, artificial though that warmth may be. To me, the holidays are a time when you get together with family and renew old connections. It allows you the opportunity to catch up with the relatives and find out how their lives are going. It reminds you of why you miss certain people, and it also resintills old hatreds for the family members who suck, and in my experience, the crappy family members tend to outnumber the good ones. But that is family in a nutshell. You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. Take for example our little family here. An older brother argues with his little sister over his collection of adult magazines. Try as he might with anecdotal evidence and dictionary definitions, he'll never convince her that his library of playboys is not pornographic. The two are reminded by this conversation of why they only see each other once or twice a year. They have some things in common, but their differences gape like a stygian chasm. As painful as the reminder may be, the holidays put familial relationships back into their proper perspective, and everything is right with the world again. At least for another year. As a quick side note, I believe the off-topic discussion of what constitutes pornographic or offensive material should easily be settled by someone with the appropriate knowledge and exposure to both the legal and social background of the subject matter. Oh, if only there was a person on this forum with just such a background. A lawyer perhaps... If only... All joking aside, holidays give us a chance to remember where we come from and why we have become the people that we are. Some of us succumb to our heritage and conform to the patterns dictated by our elders. Like sheep, we follow in their footsteps and resign ourselves to the comfortable and predictable fate that they have accepted. But some of us reject their example, and we work hard to be better people than we see in our own families. For these people, annual exposure to their family's flaws strengthens their resolve regarding who they are and who they want to be. For me, I just approach every holiday with a drink and a smile, and I remember that no matter how bad it is, I get to go home at the end of the day.
