Porn on Trains
Japan Today asks readers how they feel about men reading porn or sexually suggestive material on trains.
1) When did people start reading porn in public? And in what countries? Because I'm definitely moving there.
2) But, why in God's name would you read Hustler or Juggs on a train, for pete's sake? What's the fun in that? In a bookstore, or on a college campus, or on a beach, maybe, but in a train? Go get a life. Or a girlfriend.
Among my favorites:
- Mrs. Manners Would Approve of Reading It, But She Wouldn't Let You Pose For It: "It is OK because it is not a violation of manners at all. What is wrong is when an adult cannot instill values and discipline in their children. Basically, why are there so many girls willing to pose in those kind of magazines? Answer: because their parents didn't teach them the difference between right and wrong. Look at this station. During summer, these high school girls dress like whores in little more than bikinis."
- Sex Magazines on Trains Make Me So Hot: "When I see a businessman in a suit reading a magazine that contains kinky sex stories and laughing silently with his eyes glued to the page in his hands, I get goose bumps all over my body." (She meant she was upset, not excited, but that's not how I would have read it).
- Look All You Want, My 5-Year Old Daughter Likes Blondes, Too: "Is it a bad thing? If a man wants to read such material, he can go ahead. I've never thought it was annoying. I think even if a kid sees a magazine ad featuring a babe in a bikini making a super sexy bomber pose, he won't realize what she really means to adults."
And on top of it all, a magazine publisher has put a "raunchy ad" up on Subway car walls. Heaven forbid they look at the cover of Maxim or even Vogue, for that matter.
So, loyal readers, we have a question for you. Does your transit system approve of people reading pornography which commuting? And if they don't now, do you think they should?

On trains? Didn't you see Lost in Translation? And the famous porn-on-a-train scene from Woody Allen's Bananas? Come on now - it has a rich cultural history.
About 4 years ago on a New Jersey Transit train somewhere between New Brunswick and Rahway, a guy on the aisle about two rows up and across from me was reading a porno mag. Not just reading in a normal train-reading posture, mind you. He would unfold the fold out pages, and hold it up above the seat lever for him (and the whole train to see).
