My name is ofni and I suffer from AIS. (aka Aisleynoholism)
I first realised was a victim of AIS - Aisleyne Infatuation Syndrome - when I saw the following confession by fellow Aisleynoholic Julian in a thread about More magazine
I replied as follows:-
It's a bad case of AIS - Aisleyne Infatuation Syndrome.
It affects all ages, social classes, genders and sexual orientations.
Younger females present similar symptoms to the otherwise very different condition called Nikkimania, namely bleeding fingers caused by excessive voting in internet magazine polls.
Older (straight) females show an alarming tendency to start buying certain editions of lads magazines, and confess to finding one certain female highly attractive.
Similarly, males of all ages (gay and straight) start to buy and enjoy reading certain womens magazines, especially the sex columns they would otherwise shun. They also become appreciative and knowledgeable about otherwise obscure (to them) dress designers such as Lamis Khamis and Lipsy.
Guardian and Daily Mail readers of all ages and genders start to buy, and proudly admit to buying, the Daily Star and even (if a long way from home) the Daily Sport!
Presbyterians start buying Nuts, and are not ashamed to be seen reading gossip mags in WH Smith, even occasionally buying them!
Many other behavioural transformations have been recorded, from joining internet forums for the first time, to logging on at all hours of day or night.
Sadly, there is no known cure.
I have noticed many further cases during the ensuing weeks, so I decided that I should repeat my post in a dedicated thread to allow other forum members to share in a group therapy and data collection session, and describe how AIS has affected their lives' In that way we can help build a database of symptoms to assist medical science to understand this epidemic. which was thought at first to be purely a summer seasonal thing, but which six months later shows no sign of abating. In fact, it now seems to be intensifying especially (but NOT exclusively) among "lads" who have been going "Nuts" since just before Christmas.
Any data and confessions please!

Yes her column is still there. I really quite enjoyed it this week
Buying women's magazines is bad enough, reading sex advice columns in women's magazines is even more dodgy but enjoying them as well
What are you doing to me Aisleyne?
Regards
Julian

You are probably more infatuated than us. It's hard to admit it, I know, but it's not really such a bad thing. Well how can it be? No one seems to want a cure! It's an epidemic!! 
Thats ok Emma...no worries
