I forget who to attribute the quote to, but I heard years ago, "The Backstreet Boys CDs are like heroin, they are flying off the shelves, but no one admits buying them."

If use equaled public acceptance, then porn whores & companies would be making tons of money from t-shirt sales and such, like rock bands, wrestlers, and other performers do. Big difference between jacking off to porn in the privacy of your home and advertising it in public.
