so my camera finally did arrive. I charged it and took it to Silky’s with me to play. I am quite pleased with the results. I guess in theory I am ready to start taking pictures for my photosketches. I wish I had a bigger memory card for it though (since the resolution is better, my 2 256MB CF cards seem insufficient all of a suddent). Anyway, jameel, amazinggrace, vanango, who wants to be first? Jameel, I need to talk to your people as well. anisodragnfly and gigglefaerie I know i’ve also talk to you guys about doing this before… so much to do so little time. Anyone else interested? I’m still looking for people.
It was Friday, so I hung out at Silky’s with beststephi, sui66iy and danitapgh. Dana started talking about movies about lesbians playing soccer, which in turn got Steph talking about her ideas about what lesbian porn should be like (that is porn featuring women, aimed at women). She believed that lesbian porn aimed at women would be different than lesbian porn aimed at men. She can comment more specifically, but as I understand it, she believed that since women are in general less visually stimulated than men, that the lesbian porn would be more realistic, or cerebral or about the interaction or something. I was not quite clear what she was getting at. My speculation was that people who are interested in getting off by looking at lesbian porn are interested in hot naked chicks involved in unbridled girl-on-girl action. After discussing it for a bit, Mike surmised that perhaps the web could solve our problems, and suggested DMOZ would have a classifications of both male and femaled oriented lesbian porn. So he borrowed my palm phone and checked. (I’ve undoubtebly now set cookies on my phone and will be getting spam calls for Hot Lesbian Action). Browsing DMOZ seemed to show that Mike was correct and there are both male and female oriented lesbian sex sights, but browsing the web on my palm phone sucks, so we gave up before we actually could look at any of them. Now that I have gotten home, I have made the sacrifice in the name of scientific research and looked. The web has apparently proven me correct. It appears that lesbian women like the same porn as men. Or so the web would have us believe.
Finally, we went and saw X-men 2. I was very much impressed. It was about a million times better than the first. Without ruining any plot elements, the story was better, the acting was better (more or less) and the special effects were millions of times better. There were still some things I could complain about, but I will refrain from doing so in this forum especially since people haven’t seen it yet. I don’t think it will be the best movie of the summer, but I certainly give it the thumbs up. Its worth going to see.
Ok, admit it… who clicked on the lesbian links? You know you did you dirty dirty boy.
Whoo hoo!
You called me “boy!”
Thanks!!!
Re: Whoo hoo!
sure… no problem…
Excerpts from Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on approval for Clarence Thomas
Sen. Howell Heflin: […] But do you think hard-core porno is the way to go? Because I feel women prefer softer porn.
Sen. Joseph Biden: Senator Thurmond?
Sen. Strom Thurmond: I agree with Senator Heflin. Yeah, that’s right! The women like something with more stories and costumes, that’ll transport ’em to another place and time. That’s right! Women don’t like close-ups of oversized genitalia! That’s just never gonna turn ’em on!
[ committee agrees ]
Sen. Edward Kennedy: A, uh.. another good thing is to get them out on your boat for some reason, because, uh.. because then it’s really hard for them to get away.
I’m just saying, Strom Thurman has an island.
I know that’s not relevant, but I really like that quote.
Lesbian porn:
Women are better at telling if a woman is faking it, so lesbian porn needs to have better acting or truly interested participants. Other than that, I’ll admit I watch mainstream. I like Euphoria and Les Vampires, so the costuming thing just might be true, lol.
X-men:
An enjoyable film! I went just hoping I’d enjoy it as much as the first, and got more than I expected, so I am happy. Is it going to win Best Picture? No, but who cares? It was fun and well-paced, and really showed off my fav comic heroes’ powers. I’ll certainly see another one if they make it.
Photosketches:
If you happen to make it up to Boston in the next 30 days, I’ll pose for ya. After that, I’m off to FL. Yay!

Lesbian porn: Good point. Especially for movies. We were more talking about stills though, and I guess its even harder to tell how into it someone is in a single still picture. Though to be fair, one of the sites I was looking at that was supposedly “aimed at women” had one girl receiving oral from another and they both had the most disinterested looks on their faces that I had ever seen. It wasn’t like pleasure or even pain… I could understand the “hurts so good” pain look. This was as though someone said aren’t you enjoying it? And they said “enjoying what? Oh, I’m sorry, are we having sex? Wow, how did that happen.”
Photosketches: Hmmm, don’t know if I’ll make it before then… Shame too, because you appear to be a pretty good model in your other pics. Of course, you could always come up here for the party that, and I are throwing in 3 weeks… I believe other Bostonian friends of ours are actually planning it too.
Ah well if we are talking stills then I can’t really relate. I like erotica and fetish stills, but rarely look at porn that does not move and moan, haha.
Tell me more about this party…
–Kris
sigh… I’m supposed to be sending out invitations today, but I haven’t gotten around to it. I mentioned it back here originally. It will be memorial day weekend. All of my parties have themes, the biggest most important of which is Jammy Jam. This one is planned to be a luau. You’d be encouraged to dress up, and there will likely be prizes. Also there will be a bunch of licquor. That more or less covers it, I think. There will be more in the email invitation which I’ll send soon, really I will.
Oh, btw… call Mike. I mailed you his phone number.
So I think I got the idea that lesbians would like different types of porn than men from a psych study I read a few years ago that found that men were more aroused by sexual acts and (straight) women were more aroused by more romantic things like hand-holding. Wish I could remember the source. Anyway, my assumption that lesbians are similar to straight women may not be true, or maybe women are just much more physically appealing than men.
well of course! women are definitely more appealing… I mean face it, men have all these angular and hairy places, and gross dangly bits…Honestly, its a wonder that any women are even bi, much less straight. Clearly there must be a god to have brainwashed the females of the species into wanting to mate with men, because there’s no way anyone in their right mind would ever actually prefer men… bah!
mmm.. men
there you go… another woman brainwashed by god…
nono
i was speaking as a tigress..
Re: nono
uh huh… your point?
it must still be brainwashing… women are so much juicier and tastier than men… why do you think we sacrifice them to dragons?
hm
i guess i figured if you’re a tiger, and you say “mmm.. men,” that gets to refer to men, women, and children, and especially juicy, tender infants..
