Here's one...

Do you like to watch porn? And how does it make you feel, guilty from your religious upbringing or liberated cause you can?

I thought you knew this.

The word "watch" is too limiting. If you said "look at" or "read" it would not imply film only, but can include still images or narrative text. I do enjoy porn. No, it does not make me feel guilty.

I am aware that there exists some victimization in the porn industry, and I don't like that at all. My favorite kind is comic books and text stories. Drawings are better than life anyway, and narratives have an element of sexiness that is essential and too often overlooked: situational context. Still images or out-of-context clips always lack this and are not nearly as enjoyable. With drawings and text there is the added assurance that "no actual women were harmed in the making of this work."

Wait a minute, I know that you already know about this. I told you about the porn fiction I'm collaborating on with bluehamster98. You even made suggestions, remember?

Well, you did tell me about that porn fiction that you were collaborating with bluehamster98 on. But I did say watch didn't I...

I meant it to be directed at the visual pornography that pertains to movie clips, hentai, and the like. Interesting reply by you nonetheless. To reply to your comment on the assurance that no women were harmed in the making ofWhat I say to that, is that if there is a woman in a porno, then she herself is causing whatever to happen to her. Some do it because they like it, others just for a paycheck. I am tired of everybody sticking up for the poor misguided woman. Women are just as horny and depraved as men are, they just don't get caught as much. Ever go to a mall for example, and see how guys stare at girls. They are completely obvious about it, but every once in a while you catch women in the act. I used to look out a lot for womankind. I'd say to my friends when I was younger, You need to be nicer to your girl, treat her better. I always thought that men were evil and women were innocent. That was till I ( ... )

By the way, are you done collaborating, and where can I read the narrative? Inquiring minds want to know...

We're not done with the story yet. In fact, I have to re-write a couple things, and add an introductory story. :( And we'll distribute the completed narrative on our own; it won't be published on any website unless Matt or I actively seek to get it published by an e-zine or something. :)

Cool, let me know when your finished. I'd like to read it. :)

By the way, I want everybody to know that I am not a porn collector or skeevy guy. I do view them every once in a while, if I feel so inclined. I do not go out of my way to watch them or buy them or anything of the sort.

I am an artist, however, and I have always been attracted to the female form. Their soft skin and supple curves are the epitome of sexiness to me. Ever see two gay men kissing? Just doesn't look as nice as two gay women kissing. I'm not talking butch versus lollipop lesbians, or pretty boys versus hairy 70's porn stars either. I am just talking about the body forms in themselves. Women's bodys in themselves are sexy.

Anyway, that's what I think...

Your hasty backpedaling is duly noted. Good heavens, you wouldn't want anyone to think that you don't have a sex life! (As if they were mutually exclusive.) Have no fear, Studly, your heterosexuality is safe from challenge. Your ability to utter astonishing insights like "women's bodies are sexy" is now a matter of record. :) And you do not collect, go out of your way, or pay money. But in the age of the internet, why would you have to?

ha ha matt, ;)

I have no problem with my sexuality. I am a very sexual person. And I am not a homophobe. Many of my friends are gay. Nor am I backpedaling. I just wanted people to know that just because I was talking about the subject of porn, that doesn't make me a pornoholic. And since we were on the subject of porn. I was mentioning my fondness of the female form.

Why don't you check out my site and question me if you're dying to find something out! :)
For that matter, send some people my way, because I don't know anybody that uses Live Journal, and my blog gets kind of lonely...

Oh absolutely. However, contrary to popular belief, almost none of the best series involve tentacles or anything typical of non-pornographic manga. I'm not sure why that is, but I'd guess it's because readers would rather read sex fantasies about normal people and places from day-to-day life. Rather than fantasy settings, I was surprised to discover that the only impossible things depicted in the greatest masterpieces, are the logical impossibility of the amount of sexual activity and freedom, and the physical impossibility of the attractiveness of the characters ( ... )
