All I can tell you that from my point of view it looks very confusing when you talk about "pornographic material at schools" in one comment and then provide references that, by anyone looking for pornographic material could at best be described as "incredibly disappointing".
I mean, seriously: If you were a bookshop owner and someone asked you for some good porn, would you hush them, look around fertively and then genuinely recommend any of this?

I'd give the book shop owner mad props for recommending this to me if i asked for some good porn!
Warning: May offend easily offended people. (edit: just changing to an image of the whole page)

in reply to Randomgal • • •How did it go again... "I know pornography when I see it.", wasn't it?
Which, honestly, is actually rather impressive as far as non-answers to things in general go in that it not only made the speaker simultaneously sound both like a condescending prick AND some sort-of super creepy dude who is waaaay too into porn, all while assuring us that these qualities gave them the necessary authority to... Identify porn, I guess? Ya know, like that wood book fellow

We're republishing Looking For Alaska, as it's now a holy text that teaches our disciples about loss and grief.

She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse. And so, Oholibah, you relived your former days as a young girl in Egypt, when you first allowed your breasts to be fondled.
Good thing they have clear standards!
