Softly Realizing

(My boyfriend and I are sitting at home, trying to find something to watch. He opens up our HBO app on the television and scrolls down to the Late Night section.)

Boyfriend: “What’s this?”

Me: “It’s soft p*rn.”

Boyfriend: “Oh…. Oh, my god, I didn’t know they had this on here!”

Me: “Soft p*rn is so boring, though.”

Boyfriend: “I know. I’m just looking. Hey, it’s [Random Actress I’ve never heard of]!”

Me: *looks slowly over at him* “How do you know that?”

Boyfriend: “Oh… uh… she’s just an actress I like.”

Me: “From?”

Boyfriend: *guilty grin* “P*rn.”

(To be honest, I don’t have a problem with p*rn and my boyfriend knows it. But while he knows a LOT more names of actresses and actors than I do, I just wasn’t aware his knowledge stretched that far.)
