i can and will judge anyone who pays to see 50 shades of grey and is excited about it 

Why? People got excited over Sharknado too. Bad movies can be fun.

As for people who are excited in a non-trainwreck-y way, I get the impression that most of them are people who never learned to access some of the more X-rated wonders of the Internet, either because they didn’t have a chance to get their how-do-computer phase over with while they were still in diapers, or because they lived and continue to live in subcultures where porn was prohibitively socially unacceptable, or both. (And really, if getting caught with porn (even by my friends) would make me a pariah, I probably wouldn’t take the risk either. Especially if I believed them when they said it was immoral, and I would have little reason not to.) They have consequently been porn-starved their entire lives, and are clinging in desperation to anything they can get. Such people may deserve our pity, and our aid if we can find ways of giving it to them, but not our mockery.

Smashwords – Sleepwalkers: Deluxe Edition with Bonus Material – a book by A. Regina Cantatis

{{Title link: technically https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/430997, but the (as of 2019-07-15) functioning version is https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/360650 }}

lyricalagony:

My favorite erotica novel comes in a deluxe edition now! (And I’m actually mentioned, in the acknowledgements and some bonus material, [not under this name], which is kind of incredibly awesome).

This isn’t properly my kink (it’s MC as in mind control), though there’s elements where this kink and mine overlap, and it does feature one of those most-arousing-scene-I’ve-ever-read.

Outside of arousing things, it’s also a very well plotted and written story with an interesting setting/premise and great characters (and lots of awesome female characters!).

But it’s also very much my own writing aspirations made real – it’s a proper sci-fi novel, plot and characters and everything, but with the kink absolutely integral and throughout. And it comes from an adolescent fantasy the author carried with her for years. 

My kink things + actual story is the format my own stories have pretty much always taken, and putting them into full writing is a major dream of mine.

So it’s pretty amazing to see someone who’s done it, and done it so incredibly well.

In between reading this post and reblogging it, I read the book. How much I liked it depends on what standard I’m using.

As erotica, I was disappointed, though not surprised. This kink’s a pretty big umbrella, after all. (Probably all kinks are, if you look closely enough.) Ask five people what the appeal is and you’ll get six answers. If someone’s approaching it from a different angle than you do, sometimes it’ll work out anyway, but often you get…well, you get Sleepwalkers: something that repeatedly skirts the edge of being hot, but never quite makes it. It’s also too heavy on the genitals for my liking, but then to me “too heavy on the genitals” means “any genitals at all”. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to find good porn when you’re turned off by genitals? After a while, you just give up and learn the art of skimming.)

However, as a story I really enjoyed it. I haven’t read anything that page-turny in ages. (I pretty much devoted the entirety of Wednesday to it. Every waking moment that I wasn’t doing schoolwork (with difficulty) or cooking dinner, I was reading the book.)

All in all, totally worth four dollars.

(I even got to know before spending the four dollars that it was going to be worth it, thanks to the “read first 20% for free” option. I don’t have a whole lot of spending money, so that was very helpful for my peace of mind.)

Yes, yes, legalize gay, sure. But have you ever considered weaponizing gay?

Unfortunately, yes, yes they have.

IM GONNA PISS

I am grateful to live in a world in which we do not actually have weaponised sex pollen, gynephile-specific or otherwise. Not so grateful to live in a world where people in charge of this sort of thing have explicitly indicated they would do it if they could.

(…and if they were making progress on sex-pollen bombs, they’d keep that a secret as long as possible, wouldn’t they?)

are we ever going to talk about how you have to get actual permission from both your captain and doctor in order to have sex with an alien

like who sits around Starfleet and makes these rules

For everyone wondering about this:

“All Starfleet personnel must obtain authorization from their CO as well as clearance from their medical officer before initiating an intimate relationship with an alien species.” (VOY: “The Disease”)

It’s true. 

this is hilarious

yo captain i wanna bang this alien
