Is She Into... Photography?

[greenstorm]

Got to accompany TOW on a trip to a friend's house while she got tied up and suspended frm the ceiling. I even got to help a bit, and to be in some pictures. It was fun. We may return next week for more pics and bring the strap-on -- every picture is better with a cock.

Definitely feeling better now than I was last night, although it got worse before it got better. Sleep was a good thing, as was being in the presence of people who love me and are just willing to be there snugglishly and not get offended when I act in icky ways. :/

Online snuggles were helpful too. :)

On to lunch, and to some stuff with my mom, and who knows after that?

Holiday snaps, eh?

Is your Mouse a go-er? Nudge, nudge, wink wink!

ohhh, do we get to see? ;)

...every picture is better with a cock.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on that one, unless other factors are present. ;)

[wik.livejournal.com]

What are the chances? ;)

[estrellada.livejournal.com]

It all depends. I'm an equal-opportunity ogler.

Sometimes I like my pics with cock, sometimes without.

Robert Mapplethorpe's cocks are great; few other photographers can give good cock. I don't believe in hiding cock, but I don't think that the cock is properly photographed, for the most part.

As for "cock" in the prosthetic sense...it all depends on how it's used. A great amount of the *rush* of dildos for me is in the subversive thrill of *having one*, *using one*, etc...Seeing one in a photospread being used in certain ways really gets to me.

I wonder if this is a cultural/aesthetic bias? (I often, also, wonder how much of aesthetics is cultural or no, there seem to be certain things about the human body and natural world that we are compelled to depict over and over...)

As for subject matter...Well, it all depends on my mood. I've been known to become as fixated on a headshot as a money-shot, or a bizarre pastiche. But I do know that I get off on moods and ideas as much as people or aesthetics. Ask me again, tommorow, though.

Pretentious pontifications on porn, penises, and pegging.

[darthmaus.livejournal.com]

I generally like my visual porn to be all-women. Or, involving only very specific men: overall, I prefer the aesthetics of the female body to the male body -- with few exceptions, and blessedly I seem to already be sleeping with the exceptions. Most male bodies are, to me, not offensive or anything but just don't turn me on. Erotic literature is a whole other story, since I can input my own extremely picky physical male fantasy without the author imposing theirs. I have found a small amount of gay male porn appealing, not enough data yet to explain that one (right, then, field trip to the back rooms of Tom's Video!!).

So, for visual porn involving actual men with actual non-detachable penises, suffice it to say that I like it home-grown ;-) Dicks in general don't do it for me, but specific dicks certainly do.

Women -- like, say, me and greenstorm ;-) -- with detachable cocks is of course *women*. And women look rather lovely in strap-ons. Re subversity -- I so like genderfuck that the idea of packing under a *dress* turns me on much more than packing in drag... hmmmm... when I first got my dildo and harness, I took it home and pranced around my apartment in it -- quite alone -- and it felt deliciously naughty. And I pretty much attacked the first person who came to my door ;-)

I heard the poor photographer was hard done by to go to work sane. Seems when I got in the door he had ideas about jumping me. I so love vicarious benefits .

Hee heeee!!! Glad to hear it! :-)

I can't wait to see the pictures... his stuff that I've seen so far is really impressive.

Re: hehehe

[silverseastar.livejournal.com]

He doesn't have a darkroom, so some of his older stuff was hand done and has a certain quality that is really beautiful. Still, his other stuff I have seen that is newer is also quite amazing.

And then there are some sexy women involved who are lovely to look at . I'm sure they'll turn out gorgeous.

Well, to anyone who's already seen me naked I can't quite see why not...

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

For you? Er...

[wik.livejournal.com]

I guess I see cock as a possible additional element to an image, but I have difficulty with it as the predominant element. Like a salad. Tomato is good in it, but if the salad focuses on tomato, it's just not what you want in a salad.

As for a strap-on? Considering I've never experienced one personally, I find myself perfectly qualified to say that they seem much more interesting to be experienced than in an image. The anticipation of its use and the feeling of power that it seems to give seem to be their best elements.

I agree with the headshot vs. moneyshot thing, though. My stash includes a fair variety in that regard. Sometimes simple beauty will do it. Sometimes, it needs to be specifically about sex. Occasionally, it needs to be specifically about sex with *me*.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

A great amount of the *rush* of dildos for me is in the subversive thrill of *having one*, *using one*...

...walking around sticking one into people's belly-buttons...

...doing that swingy thing when you wiggle your hips...

...boingieboingieboingie...

It's not so much a sex thing for me as just a terribly neat... not exactly subversive, maybe an ownership thing?

I find myself perfectly qualified to say that they seem much more interesting to be experienced than in an image.

One of the things that really enthuses me about the strap-on in this case (I'm really not a big visual porn person to be big on the sex aspect of all this stuff) is that here's me in the picture, and here's me wearing an object that I like. So I have the image of the experience floating around for reference when I don't have a full-length mirror and mood lighting (room lights have nuthin' on black and white film).

I can't wait to see the pictures...

I second that!

Re: hehehe

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

There definitely is a different quality to hand-done darkroom stuff. I can't quite put my finger on it, though.

[wik.livejournal.com]

All these frank exchanges of responses has gotten me drunk. I apologize.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

I'm not offended, just confused. We've never been into that sort of thing, and you're all monogamous with Cristin.

[wik.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I guess I can see it from a preserving-a-memory angle. I hadn't quite thought of it that way. It's a little harder for me as a man to sort of develop an attachment to objects in that way. I guess I like the vibrator for variety, but that's not the same thing, I don't think.

[wik.livejournal.com]

It was more intrigue than anything, a little idle curiosity, and a splash of artistic interest. Haven't you ever idly wondered what your friends look like naked?

Re: hehehe

*GRIN*

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

I usually know.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Body enhancements. Think... Cybernetic Sivadian super-cop and you get an idea of the feeling. It's, "I've got neat toys hanging off my hips!"

[wik.livejournal.com]

We are definately from different worlds. I was thinking I'd like to live in your shoes for a day, but I don't think I could do you justice. ;)
