One thing I read about a certain study on erotica:

The study showed that the users of masturbation aids (erotica) would find a certain publication or two which were to their liking, and stick with those. Generally when one of these publications tried to go "deeper" into something more "hardcore," or changed the format of the magazine, they lost subscribers.

So as an aside, the users of erotica pretty much have set tastes and aren't led deeper and deeper into something they weren't "into" in the first place (not that anyone here ever claimed that).

One of the most popular magazines today is "Leg Show," and it's edited by a woman, Diane something or other. She does a thoughtful editorial every month, and the pictures are stunning. Most every picture in that magazine is a full-bodied shot: from the top of her head to the ends of her fingers and the tips of her toes. Contrast this with a magazine such as "Club," where the model's body parts are cut and pasted for "closeups."

Diane once mentioned that the editors of most men's magazines (mostly men themselves) look at their customers as a bunch of sick perverts and give them sick and perverted material. Diane on the other hand has elevated Erotica to an art form.

This doesn't mean that sitting around reading Leg Show is preferable to going out and actually talking to women, but some guys are so shy they don't seem to really have any other outlet.

FWIW
