Part Deux was getting long, and was taking awhile to load...so, here we go again.

To those who are curious, this thread if for the discussion of things the opposite sex does, says, or thinks that has you confused, curious, or irritated. Ask away, or pose a thought, and you should get answers and comments from a variety of people.

Maybe, through our discussion, we the Browncoats can bring peace, enlightenment, and education to the masses (or, just have a really good time!).

Post away and have fun!

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Okay, can I break in this thread with a rather riske question? Tell me if I ever go too far! (Okay, here's the line, and there waaaaaay over in the distance is you!!)

I've been wondering about differing attitudes towards ... um... adult material (I'm trying to be tactful and delicate here. Doesn't suit me!)

From what I understand a lot of men seem to get a lot out of still images of women (or men if they like em) whereas I personally can appreciate a beautiful unclad form in the aesthetic sense but much prefer the moving image or the written word. Is this typical?

I do not think anything would be too far over the line...excepting deliberatly distasteful statements, so no worries there.

When you are speaking of the artistic unclad forms, I usually prefer stills. I can also appreciate moving pictures, which brings into play the delicate motions of the human body...sort of a mobile work of art. That is for the aesthetic portion of my mind. The "other" part of my mind doesn't really care, but prefers pictures to the written word.

(EmmaRigby, if that doesn't answer your question properly, let me know...I, too, am trying to be delicate here. PM'ing me would work.)

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Ah! Somebody said the P word! Whew! I can stop being all tactful!

Yep, I've sampled a range of porn and what I noticed was that a lot of it seemed to fake and staged. My partner didn't seem to notice/ care but if I couldn't believge the woman was having a really good time I found it did nothing for me. I think this goes back to something someone (I can't remember who) said in the last threat about women liking to empathise with the subject rather than just watch.

Hi -

I jumped in way late on the last thread, sorry I missed so much, you guys have talked about fun stuff!

So here's one that I'm sure is going too far, but I swear, I just saw this discussed somewhere else with regards to fanfic...

Someone was saying that men are all into f/f, but women don't get into m/m, and there was discussion about whether this is true or just women are trained to not talk about it. Where did I read this? Recent thread, I swear!

But then someone else said that most m/m slash fic is written by women. This surprised me! Any opinions?

Myself, well-written erotica is well-written, no written the m or the f of it. And not dirty is good (I know what you're saying, CoPilot!) and both parties must enjoy themselves.

EmmaRigby: Fake, staged = no good!! I don't understand how anyone gets into that!

Mal4Prez, yes, that was a discussion in the last thread...I am not entirely sure we "solved" that one. Males like the concept of f/f, and generally dislike the m/m idea. I will have to re-read the last thread, and those that were there please correct me if I am wrong.
Not all men are into the f/f thing. I like the idea, and like to dwell on it every now and then, but it is not something that I will die if I never see again. My comment was along the lines of I only like one other person in bed with me at one time...it's better to focus your entire being on one other.
That was kinda rambly, but it is one viewpoint...hope that helps.

And seeing as someone broke the "porn" barrier...I prefer the "amateur" to the professionally staged stuff...seems like the amateurs are enjoying themselves more.

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Glad you have decided to join us! I look forward to answering questions and gaining further insight into the perfection of the female mind!

Holding until you get back, Captain.

I to have read some fantastic erotic fanfic, both m/m, f/f and m/f. Of course the effect it has is directly linked to the quality of the writing but a steamy novel is more guaranteed to turn me on than any other type of porn.

M/M scenarios can be fun to watch/ imagine but I guess that I personally feel that the average woman is just built to be more pleasing to the eye than the average man (no offense guys, I'm sure you're all way above average!)

PS/ I agree wholeheartedly with the Amateur issue. You tend to avoid all the horribly false breasts that I find deeply off-putting!

Hmmm, it there a way of rating a thread?! I'm afrain of corrupting innocent minds. Or should I be proud to be enlightening them?
