2192 Coming Of Rage.

Studies have found that men get aroused more via visual stimulation, regardless of sexuality, so porn pics are going to be more appealing to male audiences, whereas women tend to get more aroused via intellectual stimulation, so erotica tends to draw more of a female audience. Interestingly, this is why male/male slash fics are more popular amongst straight and bi women than gay men, and similarly lesbian porn is more popular amongst straight (and maybe bi? I don’t know the data on that bit) men than lesbian women.

Granted there are exceptions to every rule, so that’s not to say that there AREN’T women who would appreciate playgirl magazine, but there are statistically way more gay men that would. Given Nina’s love of books and literature, I’d wager she’d very much prefer erotica over pictures of muscle men, especially since I don’t recall if we’ve been told what her type actually is, but I frankly doubt it’s that.

I didn’t do a study, exactly, but when I was in high school, once or twice a month I would go to the local bookstore which had a poorly supervised adult magazine display and peruse the new stock. I picked up a Playgirl exactly once, to see what it was. I don’t recall opening it.

If I recall correctly, it was roughly three years between when I found that I could simply walk in there and look at the porn mags and nobody would stop me, and I could even buy them without anyone blinking an eye, before I graduated from high school. In that time, I do not recall any women or girls ever looking at Playgirl or the other two magazines of similar nature and content. Two or three perused some of the same magazines that I did.

Maybe half a dozen guys, on the other hand, did look at those magazines, one of whom was one of my classmates.

I paid less attention to who simply walked up, grabbed a magazine, and left without perusing it. For most of those three years, I was under the official age for me to doing what I was doing, and I was very aware of it. I think I only went there to peruse three times after attaining that age. So I paid attention to the people who seemed to me to be more of a threat. But I don’t think there were any women or girls who went after the Playgirls for a quick purchase without review either.
