Book Lust

What is it about the library that incites such lust?


Or maybe it's just the free computer usage.
In the three minutes I took to find a computer and sit down at it, I have seen someone looking at a hetero porn sight, someone browsing plentyoffish.com, and another person clicking through pictures of jockstrap-clad muscular men on Flickr. I knew that this stuff happened before, of course, but never have I seen so much of it in three minutes.
I can draw two conclusions from this:

1. The internet has become a main source of sexually stimulating materials and a means to find a sexual partner in the last few decades.
2. Many people who come to use the computers at the library are acively seeking these materials.


I also get the feeling of being ogled a lot here. This could be merely coincidental or it could indicate that these people come here in that state of mind. Hmmm. Anecdotal postulations.
