I think there are differences in the way women & men use erotic materials. Men are very visual & like to look right at the action (maybe it's the hunter instinct - LOL) but women like to use their imaginations more. What people traditionally call "erotic" usually has an air of artistry, poetry, metaphor or storytelling about it & that encourages creative sensual fantasies.

Maybe I'm weird but I like them both. I don't think taste has to be an either or thing. I like watching deep European films with subtitles sometimes but other times I get just as much out of a throwaway Hollywood thriller.

I'm not sure whether the male & female differences in erotica / porn appreciation are something we're born with or something we're taught: "Good girls don't enjoy sex!"... "Only evil harridans and madwomen masturbate!"... "Burn the witch! Burn the witch!" LOL

I saw a programme where boffins in Scandinavia were sitting men & women down in front of hardcore porn vids & both sexes showed high levels of genital arousal.

I know, but I figure once you have such a title it just follows you... like when a U.S. president is done with his term, you are still supposed to call him Mr. President. :p ;)

And of course I remember that... when I first saw it I didn't think of it in the UK context so I immediately ASSumed he was referring to your arse... ;)
