Not to say that women don't watch adult movies as well.

I didn't mean to say that they don't watch. I know a lot of women who think that it helps there sex life. I just meant that people tend to think the majority of viewers are male.
Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

Welcome to the discussion, Vera! Thanks for your input.
I have never known of a woman being turned on by the thought of two males together...at least, they have not told me this.
Lysander, not the adult movie comment is not out of left field. It sort of goes along with the fantasizing thing. Another sweeping generalization follows--males are "turned on" by visual stimulation, therefore, we tend to go more for the adult movies and things like that. May go back to the Neanderthal portion of the brain...hunters always watching things; "movement!" Women are not as turned on visually (PLEASE CORRECT ME), so adult movies don't really count as much.
DeepGirl, yes, females do watch. I have had a few partners that enjoyed watching adult movies, but they spent more time laughing at them then anything else. While I enjoy laughter during some intimate couplings, the whole bowled-over with tears coming out of their eyes is a different story. I have never personally had a sexual experience that was improved by watching an adult movie. May just be me.
Holding until you get back, Captain.

Quote:I'd be inclined to agree, off-hand. At least it'd take some of the jealousy issues out of the picture? (ie, with a guy there'd be the whole "was he better than me" thing, but with another woman... well, I'd imagine it would be in some ways, I suppose :) I would, of course, insist on watching.

I cannot speak for all males (that is beginning to be a common disclaimer of mine), but I think that may be the consensus; we would rather have our significant other be with another female than with a male.
Believe it was PheonixRose who brought up the fantasy topic? Sometimes I'm in them, sometimes it's more like watching a movie? Come to think of it, some of them are a bit serial in nature. Been going on for many, many moons now. Quite a convoluted plot by now ;p I'm not usually in those ones. I also don't tend to fantasize about actual people, or even celebrities. Not sure if that's a gender thing, or just me, though :P
Anyways, kudos to Tristan for an interesting thread. Good to see we've moved past the previous debacle.

I'm just happy things are moving along as smoothly as they are! Thanks to all who have so far played here. Let's keep up the fun, and maybe we Browncoats can create a Master Plan to figure out the sexes!

I don't think this subject has come up yet, so I'm going to toss it out there. Inter-racial relationships. I married at age 23, and have remained with the same person (except a short period of extreme brainlessness, as mentioned before), but when i was 20 i was involved with a beautiful black girl (i'm your run of the mill white guy).... Honestly, it was pretty much pure lust.... but it was a wonderful experience that i will never forget.
I have a friend in a mixed marriage (he black, she white)... and they have the most beautiful baby boy....
I know that you love who you love, regardless of race, creed, sex or any of the other stupid taboos that are supposed to separate us, and I can imagine a time in the future when there will be no distinction between people based on color, gender....whatever..... and i think that would be shiny.....

My mother was involved in an interracial marriage (she's black, he's Russian). They did end up getting divorced (of course, that's been a bit of a pattern for my mom, but that's another story entirely). My mother wasn't so much concerned about race, just who she was in love with. That's the stance I tend to take on the subject. I will say that in interracial relationships, you should always be careful of cultural differences. What you think is a negative trait or outlook may actually just be a part of the person's cultural background. It takes a lot of work on both people's part to make the realtionship work (then again, the same goes for any relationship.).
At last.

My wife is from a inter-racial relationship. Her father is black and her mom white. She picked up most of her looks from her dad. She appears to be a light skinned black person. We have had a great relationship for twelve years. We had a lot of remarks early on in, but lately we don't care. I live in a military community with a large black population as far as the base goes. The young black guys would always make comments, but never to my face. They would whisper things to my wife so that I wouldn't hear. Really brave. Plus, they wouldn't do it if they were by themselves. The old white people use to give us dirty looks. The looks didn't last very long when I would turn and ask them what they were looking at. People need to get over the whole race thing and things would be so much better.

Soul Mates: Definately. I think there really is such a thing and you are VERY lucky if you find it. I think I found mine once - but we were both taken, and didnt persue each other, but the electric shock quality of it was surely there. What would it have been like? I guess I'll have to wait til my next life-time round.
Cooking: I LOVE to cook for hungry men. There is nothing more satisfying for me than to satisfy a man with a big appetite.
Spooning: Just plain love it.
Virginity: Lost mine at 20.
Interracial: Too many closed-minded people in this verse to make it a comfortable option for me.
Im waiting to
see if I
pass out.
Menage: Hmmm... not my thing. And if Im going to watch an "adult" movie I want it to be something with some substance, not just crude sex. "The Pillow Book" comes to mind and is quite lovely.

I'm sorry about the reaction people have had to you and your wife. When my mom got married to her ex-husband, my grandfather wouldn't let her hear the end of it. And it certainly didn't help that we lived with my grandparents at the time. But at least he (the ex-husband) wasn't in the country at the time. Even though I'm black myself, I still can't understand why race seems to be such a problem for some people. Take the show for instance. The idea of race is an archaic one, and there's no evidence that it affects the way people relate to each other (of course, class still seems to be an issue, but then, people will always find a way to divide themselves). Sadly, in our society, race probably separates us more than anything else.
Sorry about the rant, I do tend to get carried away sometimes.
