I was talking with Edgar the other day about an email that was forwarded to me. It was one of those things that listed your characteristics based on what month you were in. It said that I was romantic, but that I have difficulty expressing my love. Well, I don't know about the second part, but Edgar said that I was definitely romantic based on the romantic scenes that I've written in the stories on my livejournal. So this came to me today, something that has absolutely no romance but is just pure sex. PWP, baby. That's where it's at.
( Warning: Extremely hot sex ahead. Proceed with caution and preferably a glass of ice water. )Feedback is like chocolate. Not really needed, but definitely appreciated. This goes for you too, Mon, Edgar, and Garrett!
So I was just pondering why I like writing and reading slash stories. What is it about guy on guy action, whether it's romantic or not, that's so appealing? I don't feel the same urge to read or write girl on girl action. Is it because I am a girl that that just doesn't appeal to me as much? Don't get me wrong, I'll read anything, including girl on girl action, but I don't actively search it out. I think it may have to do with two things. One, lesbianism is something that's glorified in our society while being gay is hailed as being bad or wrong in some way. You always hear about how guys are looking for girl on girl action cause it's so hot, but seeing two guys together is gross. That's something that's rooted in the history of our nation, also, something that I'm not sure that I want to go into at this time. Maybe cause I live with a girl's body everyday, I don't really see the appeal unless the girl is dancing. Male strippers are not a turn on for me...unless they're built like JC cause he's so damn sexy. Female strippers are so much more appealing. The idea of two guys together...that is so fucking hot. I want to date a bi guy one day just so I can see him with another guy up close and in person. Unh, I can't even put into words how sexy that is, just read my stories and you'll get the picture somewhat. ^_^
Two, slash, in general, is written much, much better than het. That's beacuse they're usually written by actual writers and not 12 year old teenyboppers who just want to imagine themselves with their favorite popstar or character. The plots are better, the sex is better (none of that "Oh, OH, BABy, YES! I'M CUMING!!11!!!), and the stories are usually more thought out because the writers usually have to overcome that major hurdle of actually making their characters gay and the complications that come along with that.
In other news, Rashidah apparently found my soulmate at Brown. He's me in man form, according to her. I've seen his pic on thefacebook.com. He's cute, I guess, (another dreadlocked guy, Mon!) but attractiveness to me is based more on personality. I can appreciate physical beauty, in fact, I talk constantly about guys who are jacked, but I always seem to fall for guys who look nothing like the guys I say that I'm physically attracted to. Personality is so much more appealing than physical beauty. I'd rather date a guy who can make me laugh and has a great personality, but who's not exactly Mr. Universe, than the hottest guy in the world who has the personality of a door. Although a nice ass helps a LOT. I'm such an ass girl. It's bad, I really need to stop staring at people's asses.
I should do homework, but I really want to socialize instead. I'm actually going to a DSAGA (Diverse Sexualities and Genders Alliance, I think) meeting tonight. That should be fun. They're also showing
Victor, Victoria tomorrow night, a great and hilarious movie. I'll get around to homework, eventually.
