I had two older brothers whose private collections taught me everything I needed to know. It was mostly Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, and (for some reason, this seemed like the most subversive of the lot) National Lampoon.
When I got older and encountered the hardcore stuff (first via the extremely seedy Pussycat Cinema located not far from my college campus, later through the magic of video rentals), I found that the majority of it had exactly the wrong effect - it was the opposite of erotic for me. This goes triply so for the ghastly circus act/ freak show sites that seem to proliferate on the brave new world of the web nowadays.
I used to just adore the softcore arty European stuff that played on Cinemax. Just enough entertainment value that I could pretend I had more than one reason for watching. Yep, I like my smut with a plot.
Call me wimpy, but that's as much as I care to say about this topic.
