+75 There's nothing wrong with reading Fifty Shades of Grey in public, as long as you don't have a boner. It's not like watching porn in public where if you happen to glance over you would see everything. Just don't read over the person's shoulder if you don't like it, amirite?

It's hard not to read things when you see words. It's hard not to look at images when you see them. By this logic it's OK to watch porn in public because people can just not look at it

Look at the above wall of text and try to not read a word. You can't.

When I see someone holding a book, I don't instinctively activate my x-ray vision and look at what they are reading. Even if I could clearly see the text, I would see the cover first and I would look away. Seeing a book from several feet away for one instant does not equal seeing porn (or an amirite comment on my laptop) for one instant.

If you saw a person watching a movie on a laptop, would you look over their shoulder at their screen?

Like I said, if I accidentally glanced at the porn on their laptop, the image would register in my mind before I could react. If I could see the words on the pages of their book, I still wouldn't be able to read it unless I tried to. Even if I cared enough to see what they were reading, I would see the cover saying Fifty Shades of Grey and I would change my mind. The instant snapshot of the porn would stick in my mind for a while.

mostly women read this hook and they probably have a "boner" so to speak

A woman wrote this post. Men don't read for boners.
