I feel I need to clarify that my like is for the love of fruit comment, and not the Banana love. Don't like Bananas at all, but most other fruit is tremendous.

I can't watch Porn (as in with actual paid actors/porn stars) it's so over the top and the women are mostly plastic. Like a bit of amatuer though.
