"Neverwhere: A Novel" by Neil Gaiman (anything by Neil is a good read, always).
Sorry I confused you. It's pretty simple, I was talking to the women who have replied to the original post when I said,
"I agree with all the statements in this post but you are all strong, confident, and beautiful women. I would dare to guess that none of you have even a remote problem with finding a man (or woman). If you do it's only because men are morons (no offense)"
They've all said things (hince the "all the statements") that I think are true but they are all strong confident and beautiful women so of course they would be attracted to a strong, confident, and intelligent man. However when it comes to why some women like aggressive and even "bad boys", I thought it would be a good idea to look into the minds of some women who have written about it. SOOOOO, then I went into suggesting the book and movie. I thought it was pretty clear but I guess it wasn't. Sorry I lost ya.
Cheers!
Ok, serious question because I honestly don't understand. What is it about guys and measurements? Is it training from school? Are you taught as young boys that in order for anything to have meaning you need to measure and record that measurement in a story? Because it seems odd to me that breasts can't be accurately described unless they are 36C or DD or whatever. And of course there is the size of the cock. It always has to be accurate down to the millimeter.
Why not just say she has large breasts or huge melons or rolling hills of soft flesh or the old BIG JUGGIES! Also, in Hitchcock (pun intended) fashion, why not just say you have a huge shlong or the thunder beast or great sacrificial spear or destiny...hell anything is more creative and interesting to read than my 8.1444569 cock.
PS: Not really angry about this, there is much, MUCH sarcasm in my voice while I write this. I just can't get that across in writing. However I seriously do want to know what's up with needing measurements? Thanks. I'll check back in a few days.
Heehee, fun. I've always wondered what Lush's ass looks like...nice bum there Lush!
Ok, so when the HELL do you guys find time to write? It's all I can do to find time to write stories and release my perverted imagination. I need a new Jay Oh Bee.
This was a nice little thread. This, along with the other thread that Lush so nicely linked me to (you're awesome Lush, we should chat again some time) have helped a great deal. I'm finally taking a stab at writing a full length novel and it's much more difficult than writing a short story. In the process of writing the novel I've been stuck. I know exactly where I want it to go but the flow just isn't there. That and I'm still not convinced that I'm ready for "prime time". I see all the common errors and it makes me flounder around in my own insecurity. I read stories and read "starts" about six-hundred thousand times. "Then she started to get..", "I started.." UGH.
Also, the passive writing that is a sure sign of amateur writers.
In short, I feel ok writing when I know that there is no risk but as soon as I think about sending something off to a publisher then I freeze up. I'm positive that my skills are weak at best. I've got ideas by the millions. Ideas aren't the problem. It's all the things that make great writers great that I know I lack. SOOO...I wallow in my own insecurity and let my story die.
I want to see it...I don't want to see it....I read all the books and like them but I feel all dirty. I had to go read Charlaine Harris again after to remind myself who came up with the idea for the story (oops did I say that out loud?). But then...UGH! I have to go see it. Damn her romance and creative writing abilities!! AHHHH!!!
Think he will play Quidditch in this movie?
Maybe it was the bubbles?
OMG!!! I'm still laughing!!
I think you are doing the right thing, no debate there, my problem is with those who hunt for demons where there are only reflections of themselves.
It's an age old question, entire theses have been written on the subject. I remember reading about how in Europe, at the turn of the century I believe, a woman's ankles became erotic...why? Because that's all men could see. In Japan the back of a woman's neck was considered the same as showing a breast today. The problem always is, where to draw the line when it comes to what kids can access.
Personally I grew up with absolutely no parental supervision and well, other things. This comes out in my stories all the time and I think you can see the fucked up result it had on me. I think the most important thing is that parents are involved with their kids, talk to their kids and have a strong grasp on what they feel is morally right or wrong. As someone who is planning on becoming a parent sometime in the very near future (fingers crossed) I certainly plan to be involved with their lives.
I love this site and I understand the laws, but what about when you want to write from personal experience? Did anyone's sexual adventures (or misadventures) actually begin right at 18 or whenever it was legal? I've known two people both male and female that didn't have sex until they were 20 and 22. Both went freaking insane once they finally had sex, like this new drug, both ended up with a VD (nothing deadly, the guy actually had two) and both ended up turning back to religion as some sort of penance for their "sins". My point (cause sometimes I never have one) is that they were both protected from sex all their lives, once they had it they went crazy, did stupid things, paid a price and now view sex as "wrong" or "evil". I had sex at a VERY early age (not by choice) and grew up having more and more sex and I'm pretty fucked up but in some ways I can say I'm honestly better off than either of them. Sure, I write stories that are "on the edge" but I'm just exploring what's in my mind. Hasn't anyone on here ever read stories from "Secret Garden"? There are stories of but women don't want to be just because they have a fantasy. So sometimes I really, REALLY want to write about my personal experiences, I really want to tell stories about things that happened to me but how can I? The law says that no matter what if a thought/fantasy comes out of my head it better be written with these ages and in these situations. That my friends is censorship. No matter how you paint it. If I'm not harming another, not putting another person in danger, and not inciting others to go out and commit acts harming others then I should have a right to explore whatever creative angles I desire as an artist.
Anyway, the debate will go on until the end of time. As long as there are those with power, there will be censorship and artists will continue to push the boundaries. It's always been and it always will be.
Here is me stepping off my soap box and ready for flaming.
Ok, two problems with that comic...well several really but two big ones.
1. The punchline was weak. WEAK!
2. They have no arms, much less hands! NO ARMS PEOPLE!!!
Wow, freaky. First the post gets moved, then it turns into a post about shrinkwrapped chicks? You guys are just FREAKS!
Doing better BTW, thanks for the well-wishing.
just wanted to let everyone know I haven't dropped off again, I had to have surgery and it's been pretty rough. First I was in a lot of pain, now I'm sick all the time. Hopefully I'll be able to do things again soon but for now I can barely sit up.
Much love,
Paula
We met up with a young couple and the girl surprised us by the fact that she was facinated by squirting, so much so that she figured out a way to do it. I don't think it's just peeing because she did it once or twice but then when we decided to video it she was only able to do a little tiny squirt.
They were a fun couple.
I, on the other hand, have never done it, but I do get really juicy during sex. So much so that if I get turned on enough it runs down my thighs and I can completely soak the bed or chair or whatever but I don't think that's the same thing. Honestly I think the female body is 100x more complex, with far more erogenous zones than the male body. Don't hate now, nothing wrong with being male but women have so many ways of acheiving orgasm and not all of them center around her clit. "What's wrong with a kiss boy? Why not try a kiss before you stampede for the clitoris Johnson!"
Wow, she really has a big gun.
Cute, should have ended with him bending her over and poking her up the ass, just my personal opinion. Chicks with Dicks are way hot.
As usual, any post from Lush is always quite laudable, but perhaps she is simply using sophistry on us all.
Hi everyone, thanks for some great advice and thanks Kat for starting this off with such a well thought out and insightful post. I would be interested in getting more honest and direct feedback to my stories. I'm always torn between wanting to write a good story and having that high jack-off factor that always results in good ratings. While I struggle and say to myself 'I don't care about ratings' it's always nice to see them shoot up there. Fortunately the things that turn me on seem to turn a fair number of other people on, however I still want to be a better writer and I'm really interested in getting published one day.
So all that said, perhaps we could start a club or group where we request feedback on stories and everyone is free to be as open and honest as possible with a oath of thick skins and non-combat.
What ya think?
