                        penthouse is described on the cover as
                "the internation magazine for men" or some such
                thing.


>1) Do you define "On Our Backs" as porno for men?

        I've been asking my friends about "on our back" and they
        keep saying "off our backs?"  I don't know what "on" is
        about. and i've never read "off".

>2) Why it seems to you so strange that lesbians may enjoy lesbian porno?

        I didn't say it was strange!
        I was refering *specifically* to forum in penthouse and
        the lesbian sex in it! (If that is what you mean by thinking
        it strange for lesbians to enjoy lesbian porn.) I was not refering
        to lesbian novels that you find (or never find) in book stores.  One
        of my favorite short stories is one by Katherine V. Forest
        about a space vampire and her lover. I love vampires.

>3) Why have you ignored the question about all-men gay porno?

        I've never read gay-men's porn so i cannot judge it.


>4) If women enjoy all-men gay porno, does it mean that the men

	it's porn isn't it :->
