PORN HEALS ALL WOUNDS
Porn is the gift that keeps giving; and not just in obvious ways, as I hope to prove with this 36-part series.
For 36 posts, I am going to seek and present porn knowledge — fun facts, obvious truths, exciting trivia and even some pictures. I’m no expert but I hope to transcend my layman status and become a layman.
Disclaimer: this series’ content may be old hat to certain readers. For instance, occasional Iced Borscht contributor Valued Milk is a veteran of porn-store commerce; he’s seen it all. Others, like me, have devoted to their lives to wholesome pursuits and are just now feasting on this carnal knowledge. Thus the broad scope of topics.
The fun continues.

- Is competitive eating “male food porn“? Greg Beato investigates
- Carl Zimmer at Discover says:
There comes a time in every science writer’s career when one must write about glass duck vaginas and explosive duck penises.
That time is now.
