Is this simple metaphor too complicated???
What about the folks who subscribe to Penthouse, Hustler and Playboy for years and years and years...displaying them in their bathrooms...most men never seem to get tired of those... they keep opening them up again and again.
Also the lifelong subscribers to TV Guide. Every week, true and faithful, it's there on the coffee table. Have even heard of couples who've been National Geo subscribers for over 50 years!
Honestly Pete, I think you're just choosing the wrong magazines.
