xp what about discounts

i read hustler and playboy now, burnt out on online porn tbh - and the political articles (like one about abortion rights) are surprisingly intelligent. cue getting made fun of.

there was an adult only version of second life called red light center in the mid 2000s that I was addicted to for like 2 weeks...

you could wander through these vacant areas full of water features and there would always be sensual chill out mixes playing

I get erotic nostalgia for that place

XP No diss. Playboy woke now.

thanks

once on a trip i was very exhausted and sat for a few hours in my fancy hotel room watching the welcome infomercial on the in-house tv-guidebook-concierge over and over, not like in a sexual way, but it was sort of asmr avant la lettre

maybe there was something especially magical about the way it would just repeat endlessly without my needing to do anything

she was such a welcoming corporate ambassador

i mean, shit

eww

those resort videos!! where it's some Trivago-looking asshole w/ some 30-year old lady. they don't even do anything, they just walk around the hammocks and shoot darting glances at each other while soothing stock music plays. fuck!! I would watch it for an hour

Mandee I think part of the problem is the goth scene and its surrounds have kind of died? I know that was a good advocate for erotica, cheesy noir/crime/intrigue blah and I know you were well into that scene, has that gone by the wayside? I always loved yr Denver goth scene stories!!!

I tried to wade through an erotica site at one point to find better Penthouse Letters-y stuff but apparently I’m pretty vanilla and couldn’t find anything that worked for me amongst the 80 chapter alien/incest/gangbang combo porn epics.

kids are having less sex. everyone's constantly drained and feeling sorry for ourselves and just want ONE PERSON to be NICE to us or even HALFWAY DECENT and yes it's boring. otoh there's a lot of sensual borderline-erotic asmr out there now

no one wants to play sexy mind games anymore it's so sad

― homosexual II

mind games aren't sexy anymore

all the stuff that used to be hot is now gross and creepy

mind games are what facebork's psychometricians are running on the surveillance devices in our pockets and then writing whitepapers about

I don't think I've played a sexy mind game in my life.

The ~~ Erotic Thrillers of the 80s and 90s ~~ thread hasn't been revived in 5 years.

I just assumed this was age and meds and the absence of love tbh

love 2 sexy mindgame but never with the wife good lord

please 2 explain what is sexy mindgames?

essentially its crepey behaviour except ur sexy idk

Oh, sorry, I thought you said 'Steve-ly robotic'. My bad.

I dont really think of porn as being erotic tbh

agree. to my thinking, eroticism has to do with real people and is very situational. a wink and a smile, or touching fingers, can be highly erotic in the right situation, more so than any amount of conscious sexual role-playing.

porn can't deliver genuine eroticism, because it is always mediated and centered on images of no one you'll ever meet, so the real people part is completely removed. soft porn often tries hard to suggest a situation where its porn content might be viewed as erotic. it appeals to a fantasy of the erotic, but fantasies are not in the same league as reality. while hard porn just goes straight for "the money shot" and usually has zero erotic content.

You just haven't meet the right porn.

so how does 'the right porn' invalidate what I said about mediation, fantasy, and situation?

you're suggesting that nothing can be erotic if it is mediated and centre on images of people you won't ever meet?

I guess it depends on whether you think it is possible for isolation to incorporate the erotic. with porn, there is no possibility of human contact aside from touching yourself. it is an ersatz.

I leave my body and become part of your blood.

sounds about as erotic as amoebic dysentery

there is no possibility of human contact aside from touching yourself.

why isn't that erotic?

I guess you think imagining human involvement where there is none is sufficient to fulfill the requirements of the erotic. That's fine. It's a definitional disagreement.

it's only erotic if someone else is honking on bobo

a wink can be cute. to dismiss all porn but offer a wink as the counterexample is overdoing it

"porn" is really just too heterogenous to make a uniform statement about whether or not it can be erotic imo

I find it frustratingly homogenous. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? Hahaha that's not it

I like winks that punctuate jokes and laughter. My partner really likes ears sticking out from between hair tendrils. I think it's an elvish thing.

I still think a lot of space age/mid century modern/eisenhower era design is hot.

After pondering this question for a while I came up with: situations which, by circumstance,necessitate that people sort of discard one or several elements of the package they've chosen to present themselves as to the general public. Like on a really long flight, or for that matter a gruelingly long delay at the airport, where people have to, for their own comfort, get a little more comfortable and homey in public than they'd normally choose to get. Shoes come off, hair comes down, we sleep/nap, engage in kind of personal little rituals you otherwise might not in public.. I sound like a real voyeur eh

airport/airplane are the least erotic places for me

exact opposite for me

Pics of airport terminals without people in them are the best. People ruin everything.

Ok, david cronenburg.

BREAKING: Republicans are floating a draft bill that would end family separations as the U.S. plans to reopen a tent shelter to house migrant children.

A draft text of the Republicans’ bill also calls for visas for young undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” as well as billions in funding for President Trump’s border wall. Conservatives and moderates are reserving judgment on the legislation ahead of expected votes next week.

The compromise bill would end the practice of dividing immigrant children from their parents at the border, a policy criticized earlier Thursday by Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.). The U.S. will soon begin housing migrant children at a shelter site near El Paso that was last used in 2016 to house migrant children and families in large canvas tents. The site will have recreation areas and educational programming, and the tents are air-conditioned, officials said.

haha oops

sex is the least erotic thing of all to me, seeing how ppl have folded down the corners of pages with passages they like is the only thing i find truly arousing
