So you saw both men and women reading "pornography" on the trains? I guess we probably have a different definition of what is pornography.
Keep in mind, people, that often the most lurid and erotic image in these monthly or weekly comics appears on the cover. The contents are often disturbingly tame.

Mostly none of the above...they are following a story.

I am curious why you were concerned about adults reading stories about adult and sexual situations. The books are designed for an adult audience.

Are there a lot of magazines with naked men in Australia? There aren't here in America. Playgirl went out of business years ago. What some are mistaking for "porno mags" like Friday are not much different from British tabloids with Page 6 girls. It isn't pornography. There is no depiction of sex acts.

What could be offensive about a love hotel?
