Naked John and Yoko solved nothing, for anyone, ever, let's just be honest about that one.

asian women do nothing for me. there, i said it.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 17 February 2006 01:02 (eighteen years ago) link

EddIE! What have you done for me LATELY?!

Sorry you're so wrong, but it was the first uncut dick I'd seen, so that was a (not very interesting) mystery solved. (xpost to Ally)

It was his lovely green eyes I fell for. Then someone told me they were Photoshopped.

But did solving that mystery help you?

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Friday, 17 February 2006 01:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Uh, no.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Friday, 17 February 2006 01:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Ok I was just checking. I mean I guess it does solve the mystery, "What do John and Yoko look like naked," so I should've been more specific with what I said. You're absolutely right.

Beneficial outbreeding, y'all. Hybrid vigor.

An old (ex?) friend of mine, several years ago when we were at university, once made a point of telling me how he'd gone out of his way to "fuck a black or Asian chick, just to see what it was like". Is that more or less racist than not finding people of other races than your own sexually attractive? But, you know, he also went out of his way to try and fuck a man, too.

did he succeed in either pursuit?

I'm gonna say no because it could be put more eloquently/tastefully as 'i want to sleep with different types of people instead of just the one type' and there's nothing really wrong with that. I figure most people have thought along those lines at some point or another.

I still think there's a marked difference between ruling out sex with same gender and ruling out an entire racial group.

I'm still in the midst of my Islamic women in headscarves fetish, as mentioned above

Ken - I honestly can't remember if he succeeded on the race thing (he used the phrase "black pussy" at one point in the conversation - this was not "I fancy this chick and oh, she's black", it was, "I am going to fuck a black woman to see if I can and what it is like", kind of colonial shit or something). He kind of succeeded on the guy thing though.

Steve, there's also nothing wrong with fancying certain types of people - look at Will Carling always going for women with cropped blonde bobs, for example. Or Brad Pitt always making himself look LIKE his partner of the time...

no there's nothing wrong with preferences.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 17 February 2006 11:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Well stop painting out the opposite of preferences as being prejudices!

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 February 2006 11:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Did you mean to say painting out? I like that.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 February 2006 11:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Um, I'm not sure!

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 February 2006 11:41 (eighteen years ago) link

what's the opposite of preference? no preference. how is that prejudice?!

the point i'm making is merely that crass generalisations (what does an Asian woman look like? etc.) are a dumb way of putting it and will appear suspicious. and people should say what they mean/be more specific.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 17 February 2006 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

interesting. if someone asked me abt this and made me make a choice, i'd prob say i like asian men (asian here meaning i guess generally subcontinental rather than oriental) - partly because yes i am jealous as all hell of those skintones and it makes me want to touch that skin, but also i'm sure there are cultural associations... i dunno if it's got anything to do with exoticism, tbh i think it doesn't, but the music and food and smells and language-sounds and literature from that part of the world really do it for me. (i went to mongolia for like 24 hours and omg the mongolian men were the most beautiful i've ever seen, they all had eyes like owls, it was 10 years ago and still v vivid in my mind.) having said that i've found myself attracted to people of every race at different points. i really think it's more about the individual than the type...

i have a friend who only likes men with blue eyes and refuses to even consider any who don't. that seems like mentalism to me.

May I take this opportunity to reassure the women of the world that there are no racial types I am repulsed by - I'm an equal opportunity lecher

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 February 2006 13:37 (eighteen years ago) link

sorry i am now imagining that being said by George Galloway. repulsion is mine!

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 17 February 2006 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Are you saying I remind you of George Galloway?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 February 2006 13:40 (eighteen years ago) link

... as my Mum would say, "I wish I had his money!"

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 February 2006 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

no i just think about him a lot.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 17 February 2006 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

...and if one decides that it's unacceptable and racist, what to do about it? "You're a bad bad racist boy for only liking Asian women, now go out and have sex with a black girl! Pronto!"??

― Eva van Rein (Gaia1981), Friday, 17 February 2006 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link
