To see these images, you should have to walk to the back of the video store, through those western-style swinging doors that make you think of a brothel. You should have to sneak the merchandise home wrapped in something inconspicuous. That's why I'm throwing out my swimsuit issue. So I can keep that nice brown envelope...

Girls who work in legal brothels entertain some pretty high-powered men whose names are instantly recognizable. The anonymity of the men who enter the brothel is sacrosanct.
