As for porn, I think the worst thing that has happened to it, is its mainstreaming. Porn will never be !PORN! again, if ya catch my drift...
You nailed it. As a teenager, I would hunt down a Playboy mag from miles away, in a heavy snowstorm, while walking barefoot over broken glass. It was the 'taboo' thing, and the fact that the magazines were hard to get/find/keep.
Now, all a teen needs to do is log on to the PC in their house when Mom and Dad aren't looking.
I've wondered what the end result of 'easy access' porno will be. Whether kids will be desensitized to the indignity of it, or whether they'll just lose interest. I'm betting a little bit of both, with an emphsis on the latter.
And, Hef exemplifies the hedonistic lifestyle (unlimited sex with GORGEOUS women, parties all the time) that a whole lot of men think that they want. But, I'm sure that he has his own problems, as well. Not the least of which would be a constant worry about STDs. :-)
