Thanks to those of you who tuned in for Episode 4 of "Clearly, you're retarded". The topic we discussed was whether or not porn objectifies women. If you missed it, you can download it (and should download it) here, or find it as a podcast through iTunes here, or just listen using the widget in my sidebar. It was an interesting hour – you don't want to miss it!

So, on the porntastic topic of pornography, I tried to make the point that for many men, porn is just a jumpstart to the fantasy that plays out in our heads. In fact, it doesn't even have to be porn – it could be literally anything acting as the catalyst. To further prove my point, I have decided to list just some of the non-pornographic items I have used to fantasize when spanking the bishop (and as a disclaimer, let me say that some of these were when I was relatively young, so I wasn't some old leering pedophile at the time):
