The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

If you're getting penis with your Playboy you bought the wrong magazine.

I think the logic is that the raison d'etre of pornography is masturbation which, apparently, is a form of homosexuality or moves you down that road. Since onanism is frowned upon by many religious groups I wouldn't be surprised if such a connection has been made ("we think masturbation is bad and we think homosexuality is bad therefore there must be a connection between the two.")

For me as a youngish boy, though, pornography (I was in 6th grade when I traded a VHS copy of Wrestlemania for some Playboys) mostly made me realize that it might be a good idea to head to bed earlier than I otherwise might have.

Does this mean that masturbation means you're gay, or masturbation makes you gay? Or does porn make you gay? Because I really enjoyed "Flesh Gordon" and I'm wondering if I should continue to wait for the gay thing or if I can just carry on as usual?
