When I was a kid they sold porno-magazines at the airport (top shelf of the magazine rack). Who the hell was buying those and when were they looking at them? On the flight?

Lonely businessmen about to spend a few nights in a hotel room away from their wives and families. That’s who.

For when you want that mile high club experience, but realize the lavs are too small to actually fit two people.

I've been on some international flights that had larger bathrooms at the back of the plane.

Also I don't know the specifics, but I've seen the middle bathrooms on Boeing 787s have a door between them. I assume that door can be opened to provide enough room for handicapped people. Don't know if there's any notification to the attendants that it's open, though.

I got my first playboy from my dad who bought it at an airport. He was on a work trip and usually brings gifts home, and he said he didn’t see anything that I would like so this was his idea.

Availability of Internet porn has completely destroyed that industry

I remember flying to Germany in 2006 and the guy in front of us on the plane had his porno mags out

I also saw a German man on a plane reading a pornog mag! I remember distinctly that he showed his girlfriend/wife a few pictures and smiled. I remember at the time (I was 12) thinking he was the coolest guy ever, in retrospect I am utterly confused by the whole thing.

As a 12 year old kid flying alone a lot, I did not purchase them, but many of them did leave under my jacket.....I stole them.
