Woman can't see men's attraction to pornography DEAR ABBY: This is regarding your answer to "Deceived," the young wife who was upset when she found some girlie magazines her husband had hidden from her. She said that she was a good-looking woman and couldn't understand why her husband would want to look at pornographic filth like that. I was surprised at your answer. You said, "Please get over the notion that only men with unattractive wives read girlie magazines. What you look like has nothing to do with your husband's desire to look at what you call "filth."' Then you defended the husband's right to read whatever he wanted to, and told the wife she had a lot to learn about why men enjoy looking at stuff like that. Abby, I don't understand why a happily married man would want to look at pictures of naked women, so I asked my husband, and he said it was normal and natural for men to enjoy pictures of beautiful naked women regardless of what they have at tome. Abby, I consider myself normal, and I have absolutely no desire to look at pictures of naked men, no matter how well-built they are. Why? PUZZLED IN CHICAGO DEAR PUZZLED: Because most women do not respond to the visual the same way men do. (Women respond more to the spoken or written word.) But let's get something straight: All pictures of partially or fully unclothed women are not por­ nographic-some are beautiful though erotic, and are considered museum-quality art. Not having seen the "girlie" magazine in question, I'm unable to make an informed judgement, but let me go on record to say that pictures that portray worsen as objects to be used, abused, humiliated or degraded in any way are totally unacceptable to me. ' DEAR ABBY: I was pleased ftrifote vottf dgftrovfll i "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am" when addressing people. I have heard people say, "Don't 'sir' me-I haven't been knighted!" (I ignore it as though it hadn't been said.) Ad­ dressing people as sir and ma'am is a matter of simple courtesy and has nothing to do with one's age or stat&fi in life. ' Thank you, ma'am. POLITE IN ST. CHARLES, LA. DEAR POLITE: You're welcome, sir. DEAR ABBY: I am an Englishman teaettbM pSycttatry in the Alabama University School of Medteinefaritirl waSprompted to write by the letter from "Bitter aridi BroKertffearted (thg widow of the smoker who was forced by relatftfef tcfgd tytrtaide ft sub­ zero weather to smoke and subsequently caught pneumonia and died). I noticed that you published that letter without comment, judging, no doubt, that the tragic story was comment enough. Apparently, in the opinion of the relatives with whom the smoker and his wife were staying, smoking is a moral issue and has the status of something close to a crime. v Interestingly, King James I, after whom a version of the English Bible was named, wrote a famous pamphlet titled, "Counter Blast to Tobacco." He would have liked to have made the use of tobacco both sinful and criminal, but in spite of his throne and his title of Defender of the Faith, even King James could not make smoking either a crime Or a sin. Many thanks for your constructive, entertaining and often puzzling column.
