Porn For Women
Yes, there are a lot of longing looks across the bridge of Galactica first, but that's beside the point!
Title text: Yes, there are a lot of longing looks across the bridge of Galactica first, but that's beside the point!

Explanation

There is an opinion that women dislike overly blunt porn that objectifies the people involved in the intercourse. The authors of the book in this comic attempt to target this opinion too much, presenting no sex but several images of extremely attractive men. Megan objects to this, stating that she prefers more explicit sex in her porn.

Discussion

Note that the original transcript says "Woman", not "Megan". In 507: Experimentation it says "Female", not "Megan". There is no reason to think that both women are the same person. 173.245.50.84 19:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Correct, there isn't; however, "Megan" doesn't necessarily refer to the same person in xkcd transcripts, it's just the generic name given to this style of stick figure. Also, not all people named "Megan" in real life are the same person :P. Hppavilion1 (talk) 01:48, 23 November 2016 (UTC)



These are all the comics that feature or mention Megan.
