Since "porn" can refer to several different mediums, and different styles within each medium; I would suggest identifying (at least to some degree) what you're after.
Your drunk friend probably doesn't want to sit down and read erotica.
The suggestions using <lut> may suggest text-based.
And any of the suggestions trying to use <nga'chuq> miss the description of "picture of a naked/semi-naked person".
So we're either going to need to be very vauge, or super descriptive, IMHO.

On occasion I get asked to translate some weird things into Klingon. The latest was this weekend, when a friend in a state of inebriation asked me for help in translating "Where's the porn?"
The candidate sentences are "nuqDaq 'oH *porn*'e'" and "nuqDaq *porn* Dapol".
I did briefly wonder what the closest term was to porn, and decided on *bel lutmey* until a better alternative comes along.
Did anyone else do anything tlhIngan Hol-related over the break? Tell us of your escapades, if any.
