Of or characterized by lust; lewd; lecherous. 2. Exciting sexual desires both from The American Heritage Dictionary, which claims to report on the English Language as it is *acutally* spoken by Americans. Of course the M.A.P. degrades women, and presents them with a false ideal, etc. Perhaps I wasn't strong enough: not only am I no fan of the M.A.P., but I positively detest it. However, it is NOT, as far as I can see, pornographic. Is there anyone out there in net.land for whom the M.A.P. excites lascivious feelings? If so, I wonder what you do during, say, an episode of "Three's Company". Probably this discussion dosen't belong in net.women. Net.grammar, if it exists, looks like a better choice. We both seem to agree on the nature of the M.A.P. and P.H.M. I just do like like to see the English language bent out of shape, no matter how noble the cause such bending serves. So.
