Our recent commenting upsurge (thanks to all who have spoken up, by the way; well, almost all) has helped remind us of the one thing that unites porn connoisseurs everywhere—shame. For all the talk about "going mainstream" people who watch and enjoy erotic entertainment are still made to feel that its wrong to do so and, at the very least, it should be kept hidden away from polite society. Sure, you can buy it, but don't let anyone else know that you have it.
Anyone who has ever owned so much as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or International Male catalog has probably gone to some lengths to hide their perverted wares from friends and loved ones. But how? Where's the best place to keep your spank mags and video tapes away from snoops, while still being able to get at it when the mood strikes? Or do you prefer to show off your hard-earned collection to anyone who knocks on your door? (It does make a great icebreaker!) Now that we've got you out of your shell, maybe you'd can share your thoughts and get this important issue out into the open where it belongs.
