Current Mood: tired

(no subject)

Women are not passionate enough about sex and concentrate too much on feelings to be able to write raunchy stories, the new owner of Britain's Erotic Review said on Monday.

Be offended later. Laughing too much right now.

(Also. *How* much do I not believe Kate Copstick is her real name? THIS much.)

::dies laughing::

This reminds me of the story I tell all the time, of my co-worker who informed me that men are aroused by the thought of two women having sex, but women aren't aroused by the thought of two men having sex.

So, after I picked myself up the floor from laughing...

*dies*

"I think women, too many of them, whether it's nature or nurture or politics, they're not straightforward about sex," Kate Copstick told Reuters.

HELLO. THAT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT IT.

she said she would have almost exclusively male writers as they knew a lot more about sex.

So...who wants to open her eyes to the glorious world of Nifty?

Sorry to go off topic, but I have to tell you how much I love your icon.

LOOOOLOLOLOL Clearly this person has no experience with fandom. Or women.

Aaahahaa did you allow him to remain mistaken, or did you correct him?

Or men. See comment above yours.

I corrected his severe misapprehension :D

Or people in general. She lives in a box with no internet Y/Y?

After I got finished laughing (well, maybe I am not quite finished laughing) I got distracted by the directions for commenters: "Keep it clean, and stay on the subject." Um... :)

....There are directions?

All the way down at the bottom, in the "Add your comments" box. It's obviously a boilerplate thing that just happens to look a little funny applied to this particular article.

how, wha who.....

*boggles*

"An Ode To My Penis, chapter 47 of ?"

*brings up comment boxes on various journals*
I cannah find it, Carmen! ...Maybe they just do not trust *you*?

I no rite! If you've got a character lying to another through kinky sex, HARD CORE writing, my friend!

Hee! Yeah, I had a similar conversation with a couple (male) then-roommates.
Roommate 1: *loudly lectures Roommate 2 on how women only like straight porn or, if they are into women also, lesbian porn because of identification* with the, uh, characters involved.*
Me: *yells over about how I watch lots of gay porn. And know other women who do also.*
Roommate 1: Well, uh. Most women...
Me: I would like to see what study you are drawing from. Where did you get your statistics, Roommate 1?
Roommate 2's girlfriend: This is a weird conversation!

Ah. No, not LJ comments, comments on the article that you're linking to.

That person's universe is obviously not mine.

They must never have read the average women's romance novels that are out these days. I believe I once refered to the latest books when talking to a male friend as "Loins of steel, nipples of stone." I shocked them. They thought I was overstating the matter until I gave them one and dared them to read it.

...

Wow.

Okay, I need to not laugh like this in the middle of the library.

Wait, not only are women less passionate, but we don't KNOW anything about sex? The sex we have about as often as men? What are we doing, thinking of England?

(I hear many of the writers on Nifty are actually women. Presumably the women who think whipping out a measuring tape during sex is hot.)

Uh...huh....

Right.

Maybe she should quit her job, then.

She's the only woman who likes sex!

And she's a woman, so she should know.

I'm thinking it might be a publicity stunt... and then I'm thinking, no, women *are* the audience for a erotica magazine, so it would be far too stupid for a publicity stunt. And then I'm thinking, I am not sure that policy is legal.

I don't even know, but whatever it is, it makes no sense to me.

I am hoping that is not an exact quote?

..."The Bionic Woman: After Dark"

No, it's ok! She's the one woman in the world who does like sex!

Oh, RIGHT, how could I POSSIBLY have missed THAT?

I guess she's not worried about selling her magazine to women. After all, women only want to read about feelings.

(I read a romance novel recently in which the hero was a feline alien whose race was apparently basically built to give incredibly sexual pleasure to human women. The women were kind of a footnote; it actually bugged the shit out of me. But he had, I kid you not, instant-orgasm-semen. He could SPIKE PUNCH with it and have women rolling on the floor. There were many loving descriptions of his alien cock, and use of the word "snard" instead of semen. YEP ALL ABOUT THE FEELINGS. Yeah, there were some of those, mixed in with the wall-to-wall smut and taming of giant killer birds.)

....EEEEEWWWWWW, Mel. WTF imprint was this one under? Do I want to know how the birds were tamed? Did he spike the birdseed?

*pats* Show them the article; I am sure they will understand how the interruption could not have been avoided....

No, he purred at them. Although I guess it wasn't really taming so much as...they didn't actively try to eat him.

IT'S A SERIES:

http://www.amazon.com/Cheryl-Brooks/e/B001JS6XN0/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1

The one I mostly read was Warrior.

It was definitely a unique read. Did I mention the hero spent several years as a sex slave to unappreciative harem women, prior to developing impotence? They threw him out. He is filled with angst for much of the book. I supposed all the build-up to the sexin' makes it "girly" or something, but it's darned graphic even for a romance novel.

Wait, I lied. I read Outcast. There's also an alien who keeps hitting on every woman in sight who's in an open relationship. His species' sex organ is his FACE and he's always getting off by fondling things with his super-sensitive fingers, often in public.

I'm sort of tempted to read the one with the lizard queen.

See, a lot of that sounds interesting! But then there is THE PUNCH. EW.

It could potentially have been interesting, if she were a better writer. There is endless use of 20th century Earth slang (followed by explanations), and the whole premise for the cat-people is...skeevy. And kind of misogynist, I think.
