A REAL man will wonder if he can stick his dick in it.

nah... Glenn Gould's versions are often the first that people hear. Afterwards, everyone else plays it "wrong". (I happen to dislike some of his work for the same reason). People don't buy gold-coated power cords so they can listen to free music.

I went years without a TV, so the only time I saw TV was at a hotel, in which case I watched HBO or other premium/ad-free channels. I do own a TV now, but only for netflix streaming.

True. Just this morning, I wondered why there hasn't been any long-term medical study about crotch-punching Mark Zuckerberg for hours at a time. Will you injure your hand? Should you wear gloves? Take breaks every 15 minutes? We just don't know. That's why we need these studies.
