Do you have a porn buddy?
The excellent BBC series Coupling, which I have been watching recently brings about this question. In explaining how well he knows a friend of his, one of the main characters (Jeff) explains that they are “porn buddies”.
He goes on to explain that being someone’s porn buddy involves making a pact so that in the event of one of the buddies untimely demise, the other buddy will get to their house and remove any pornography before the parents arrive. The porn is not (of course) destroyed but kept by the surviving buddy as a perk of the duty and to help ease their loss. It also means that the parents of the departed can continue to believe that their child was not a sexual deviant.
Naturally the woman he explains this too thinks it is disgusting. Sounds like a good deal to me – I’ll have to sort out a porn buddy for myself in the near future
