Awww, but doujinshi isn't REAL pr0n! (I know, TEH LAW The Mighty Word of Parental Discretion says it is, for the most part... but really.
2D and paper and screentone aside, how often do you see some of this stuff *coughAfuraShaylacough* happening in real live porn-o'-graphy? ;;
That reminds me of the time when my friends and I were in my dorm watching Gravitation. Our friend Matt was with us cos he was bored... we got through the first full episode and at the very end the two lead males helped themselves to a big smooch ^_^; Matt (the only male in the room) screamed "AAAHH GAYNESS!" Amy: "umm... didn't you NOTICE that they were flirting throughout the whole first episode?" Matt: "no... " The funniest thing of all, was he stayed to watch the next episode ^_^;
Reminds me of the time, I was watching a movie with a girl I liked at my house. It was Chuck and Buck. O_O;;; Little did I know..... Never been more embarrased in my entire life.
I'm from San Francisco (well, actually a little farther down the peninsula. but close enough for the purposes of this discussion) so I'm pretty tolerant of every manner of gender deviation (with-in legal lmits and general reason). Kinda have to be, in this area. But yes, shounen ai gives me the heebie jeebies, too. I'm sorry, but I'm a straight male. I have no desire to watch two guys make out. Does that make me a homophobe? In some people's eyes. Let 'em eat cake. I gotten alot of flack at another board where I was moderating the hentai section. There was a hentai pic post thread, and I had instituted a rule that pics had to be posted in differing thread according to content. Several members, including myself, were growing weary of stumbling across raunchy shounen ai pics in thread. So, you call me a homophobe for not wanting to look at that? Please.On the other hand, I simply love lesbians. Does that make me a hypocrite? I'm a straight male, as I said before. What else can I say? Call me what you will. I know plenty of women who don't like lesbians, but love watching gay men. Are they hypocrites, too? I heard, and reasoned out, good explanations for why men like lesbians and why women like gays. But we can get inot that later if anyone is interested.
But one more thing.... about your story Rob. I'm sorry man. But, for what it's worth, she did you a favor man. I know it sounds trite, but it really is true. I got dumped for a complete and total loser by my last girlfriend. It made me feel like shit for a long time. But in the end, I realized, do I really want to be with a selfish and naive person like that. Decent chaps, such as ourselves, aren't seserving of such treatment. Ya know. *SHRUGS*
Yes. Be very afraid when I post. It's more than likely 50 times as perverse as you'd ever wish something to be.
(I consider personal human tastes and preferences as a little more intricate than simply being the way we're biologically programmed
Man that was a CREEPY movie. Not only is it about gay stuff, but FREAKY STALKER gay stuff.
Well, I got nervous about the topic before, but I guess I'm getting some reinforcement. Yes, it's just a general thing I guess. A typical straight male just only cares about what happens with women, whether because of him, or because of one of their own kind, or whatever. But another guy just won't do it for us (if not cause us to reject the image) simply because I suppose we're not wired to respond that way. In fact, it might even have to do with the basic biological implementation that's supposed to make sure the species reproduce. Of course women turn us on; they're the only ones we can procreate with. Of course then we reject males because I guess nothing gets accomplished. Not to make this into a "homosexuality is not natural and therefore punishable by death" thing, I swear; I'm just trying to write the basic below-conscious level rulings of the brain... basically the rules that are supposed to guide us no matter how knowledge-insufficent we are. That is, even someone who is completely isolated from all knowledge of sex is going to figure it out sooner or later whether he/she means to or not. In fact, I'm evidence of discovering the operation myself... yes. [To borrow from Mr. What]So, anyway. We're probably designed with a drive to make sure we end up on the "right" side of things. Actually, this pre-programming may even explain the area where hetero/bi/homosexuality exists. A particular polarization or defunct ruleset of the subconscious, where a mismatch for your gender causes homosexuality and for some reason the rule being defunct altogether makes you go either way. Just like masochists are typically in to it because their pleasure and pain centers are cross-wired. (Which I suppose is the basis of that masochist Ifurita story; pleasure from all her pain made her work in the first place. [To borrow from Mr. What again] Of course, this is just a theory, and you'll do what you will with it.
As for my theory why men like lesbians (even though no one asked), and since women are always asking this question, here it is. Mostly, it's competition. How often have you been talking to a woman, and as soon as she says "My boyfriend....." or "My husband....." and something inside you just shuts off? It's a strange feeling, but it happens. You see a man with a woman and you feel like you have to compete with him. Even, on the most miniscule level. You may feel this when reading a story, or watching anime or a movie. Or, even porn or hentai. Watch a porn sometime and see how quickly you get turned off looking a some guy with a dong bigger than yours, pounding away at a woman. With two women, there's no need to feel like you have to compete with another guy. (Just speculation and personal feeling. No offense Rob. ^_^; )
