The book will also feature short essays on the intersection of pornography and culture by a wide range of distinguished writers, including Salman Rushdie, Francine du Plessix Gray, John Malkovich, Nancy Friday, and John Waters.

I'vee seen NO XXX-rated books with material as hot as serious cybersex can get. Please let me know if you find one.
I'm saying that such explicit subject matter is not found in books I've seen; they are erotic more for implicit concepts. I'm not comparing off the cuff cybersex typings with the literary value of carefully crafted (explicit) text.

I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.
Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

and there in lies the difference between masterpiece and masterbatory.<sp>
