Erotica readers and writers...

[51stcenturyfox]

Following today's fandom!secret on this topic, some questions about... foreskins!



Here's the secret someone posted:




Do they have a point? I was going to do a poll, but LJ is being very naughty about polls.

What are your thoughts? Should fic writers mention foreskins more often (for characters who are likely to be uncut?)  Do you not need or want this detail? Do you assume they're there anyway, depending on how you imagine the characters and who they are? Is this something you've never really considered, either way? 

Do you not give a hot damn?

ELVES?  VAMPIRES?  HOBBITS??? I don't even know.

Are you pretty sure Jack Harkness has a fiveskin? Because I am.

ETA: Thank you to my f-list (unlike the F!S thread) for not being judgey about people's parts. Every cock is pretty!

I don't really care much, since (my haphazard google searching reveals that) some estimates put about 20% of males in the UK as cut for varying reasons. And for the sake of porn, unless you have a driving need to know in order to make your sexual fantasy complete, I don't get why anyone would care. This always smacks to me of some person who had a grudge against writers from another country--it's true, a lot of american females writing erotica are going to automatically assume cut, just like a French writer might assume not. I don't bitch about it when I read SPN fic about Sam and Dean's uncut cocks.

I don't think foreskins are dirty (though I do have opinions on them in the medical sense), but I don't care either way if they are there. And you know, tongue fucking things is hott.

Completely unrelated to big dickings and more on the secret itself, I'm tired of this whole "if you do x i judge you/think less of you" thing. God people. These aren't secrets anymore. It's just a bitching forum. You know what a secret is? Something you wouldn't tell another living soul, not "something I only complain about to my closest fandom friends in private emails". Something like, "I masturbate in a Snoopy bathrobe when I watch old episodes of Rainbow Brite, and I'm thinking of Harry Potter from Book One." THAT'S A SECRET.

Yeah, sounds a little "pick on the silly Americans!"

I don't think any part of the human body is "dirty", unless, you know, the characters are in a cell with no shower for two months.

But then they can just give each other daily tongue baths, like cats.



ETA: I told you about Rainbow Brite in CONFIDENCE! *shakes fist*.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just think I agree that every once in a while I run across a person who thinks the foreskin is creepy, dirty, maybe they think that's why American males are cut. We have a prejudice about it.

Dude, if you haven't brushed your teeth in two months, I don't think a cat bath would be a good idea.

EDIT: Yeah, I dunno what's wrong with me. I seem to have lost my sense of humour today. I PROMISE TO BE FUNNIER TOMORROW.

THEY HAVE A TOOTHBRUSH OK! Suspend your disbelief!

You are always funny, baby.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

are they sharing that toothbrush?

FANDOM SECRET: IF YOUR CHARACTERS ARE USING THE SAME TOOTHBRUSH IN THE MORNING AFTER AN OVERNIGHTER, I JUDGE YOU. AND I THINK LESS OF YOU. AND I PRINT OUT YOUR USER ICONS AND BURN THEM. WITH THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER OF FANDOM HATE.

SECRET BECAUSE I HATE WANK.

IS THERE WANKING IN THE CELL? HOT. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

there is sounding with the toothbrush.

lol



IT DIED A WEEK LATER.

NOT A LIE.

Oh deah, now I'm never going to get that picture outta my head... ever. again. period.

And I'll probably never buy an electronic toothbrush :D.

You know I have heard that from many places. (That they make good vibrators. Especially for under 18s.)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I loved that secret!

At least airport/TSA staff won't think its LOLworthy if you have one of those in your handbag. :D

I am totally past the point of caring what kind of sex toys they find in my luggage, though.

Which reminds me... I have some new nightstands which match the bed in the garage, but they need glass tops. No drawers, either. Note to self: buy nesting boxes.

Rainbow Brite makes me think "I'M BEGINNING TO DOUBT YOUR COMMITMENT TO SPARKLE MOTION!"
