I absolutely think that there are levels. Actually, I think that I the analogy of streets and roads better. Different ones lead to different places at different speeds. Some are the safe cul-de-sacs of the Sears Catalog, and others are the superhighways of Playboy, Penthouse, etc. There are even some illegal street races with kiddie porn, bestiality, etc.
The reason that I like this analogy is that you get used to certain "speeds" of porn, just like you get used to driving a certain speed. Just like when you come off the highway into a 35 MPH zone, going from, say, Hustler to Maxim is going to be very noticable. And just like there are some people that stop at the top of the on ramp and watch all the traffic go by, there are going to be folks that look at the covers of the magazines at the Gas-N-Sip and never go any further. And of course the Ted Bundy's of the world who lead the police on a high-speed chase.
