Muahahahah. You know, I totally had the staple remover reference in BEFORE YOU EVEN MENTIONED IT. Yes, that IS how awesome I am.
I spent many hours pondering the glue. And glue sticks. And maybe just using the tubing of glue sticks (they have those great ridged twisty bits!) and not the glue. Or maybe the glue. What kind of glue? glue glue glue! SO MUCH COULD GO WRONG, YET SO MUCH COULD GO RIGHT. IS IT THAT KIND OF STORY, THOUGH?
Seriously, hours.
SECONDLY, the whole thing about Ianto orchestrating this and all the while having these doubts about his own inventiveness and attempting to be creative in the face of Jack's experience, that is really spot on.
See, I have this ginormous THEORY about this whole dynamic that really clicked for me as I was writing this. See, the thing is, Jack tells a lot of sexual anecdotes, right? But they're all about these amazing things that other people(/beings) have done to *him*. All his stories are focused on the incredibly/mindblowing skills/assets of his partners. His stories aren't about how awesome *he* is. They're about how awesome the people he sleeps with are.
Now for Jack, who is constantly spraying out his pheromones l-r & centre, flirting with all and sundry, he's in this constant seduction mode; his stories are all part of his whole seduction dance. They're about setting up what he wants from his shag. And while, no doubt, he's picked up some tricks of his own that make him a pretty good lay, basically he's setting up this dynamic where he's challenging his partner to, well, compete with his past conquests. Or, live up to Jack's expectations.
In other words, Jack's a giant conman, and it works for him in that he manipulates his lovers into being more innovative in order to live up to the standards he's been constantly suggesting to him.
Thus my story can be summarised:
Jack: I like office supplies. Hint hint. Ianto: Sigh, I suppose you do. I suppose I shall play along, knowing you... Ianto: *proceeds to orchestrate an elaborate encounter in order to get Jack off spectacularly under his administrations*
THAT'S MY THEORY AND I'M STICKING WITH IT.
And of course it's Tosh that introduced them to PornTube. She's a nerd! I bet it went something like:
Owen: Tosh, you're such a loser, the internet is for losers. Gwen: Yeah, lol, Facebook is much better. btw Owen it's your turn to slay the orc in Elven Blood. Tosh: LADIES, LADIES, LADIES, GATHER 'ROUND, IT'S TIME FOR TOSHIKO TO WIN.
