Turn-on Meme
16 years ago
I got tagged to do this one by Amethystine after I double-tagged him to do the 8 Random Facts meme (because his first rendition of it really sucked )
I'll list them in order of common stuff to the more unusual kinks. Some people share them, some people don't. But at least with the kind of lead-up this creates it'll make things a little easier to understand just why certain things are appealing.
I'll do it this way just because some of the other journal entries of this kind I've read are a bit on the random side. It's usually a bit of a hodgepodge of fetishes. It doesn't give a really good or accurate profile of the person's interests that way, even when there's explanations behind the stuff listed.
1) SCIENCE!
2) Readability. Sorry, I don't care how particularly creative and interesting the set-up you've arranged in your story is when it's unreadable. This is a real problem on any website where people submit written works and there's not 'obligation' (for lack of a better word) on their part to proof it effectively in advance. If someone wants to write up a shitty block of text without hitting the Enter key, capitalizing, punctuating, or even attempting to portray the actions of the people involved in the story in a mildly realistic manner, then I'll close it without trying to make sense of the mess.
I listed this as a turn-on though. And to be frank, a person's prose can make a story more arousing. If it's well composed, if the characters are described as acting like real people with real feelings, and the things described are relateable to me as I read, then it's a much more erotic a read. That goes for comics with a bit of erotica in them, or just single pictures. Is it nit-picky? I don't think so, no. If someone's drawn a superb picture of a hot mewtwo lady working herself up, but she's crying out 'O mai GaD!' then I'd feel almost cheated at the poor quality of the piece.
Have it make some level of sense! I really hate reading or looking at a piece where something that could be arousing has absolutely no reasoning behind it. Some people have responded when I put up a semi-critique asking about things like huge holes in logic, lack of common sense (like when the main character is a girl, wanders into a dark alley in the middle of a dangerous neighborhood, and even thinks to herself that it's a bad idea) by saying 'I know it wasn't the best way to do it, but I figure people won't really care and just want to read the hot part.'
The stupid plot devices and lack of reasoning hurt the eroticism too! Don't do it! Don't portray something half-assed. Give the audience a reason for things to happen and they'll enjoy it more, rather than have to stretch their suspension of disbelief even further.
Even more so, I hate reading the 'hot part' written in a deliberately shitty fashion. It's friggen irritating to think someone would write an entire story filled with more derogatory, repetative, deplorable drivel under the guise of thinking 'If it's written real dirty, people will like it more.' No, they won't. Your works will get next to no views, compared to the people that maintain their prose. It's little more than half-assing things. I can forgive people for creating plot-holes due to lack of knowledge. I can't gloss-over deliberate fucking up.
3) Good old-fashioned hetero sex. I'm only kinda teetering on the edge of being bi-curious. Just barely, and that's about all. The most I can say is that I understand why those who are gay prefer what they prefer, and play along those lines I'm really not opposed to. But I've always had more an eye for women, that's likely not to change, and it's what I'm most comfortable with.
4) Just as old-fashioned lesbianism. The above being said, two ladies making out is hot.
5) Restraint/Control. I really don't like the usual fetish material in this regard, like cuffs, whips, leather, ect. Do I get why they're used in the real world? Yes. That's the materials available on hand that are practical for people to surrender a bit of control over themselves.
But when it comes to art and fictional writing, you're not limited that way. I like people getting more creative. Someone wants to write a plant getting overly friendly and teasing a character trapped by it for hours on end, go for it. Someone wants to write or draw a character getting trapped by a blob of some kind? Go for it. I'm not into stuff like fatal vore and the like, but the loss of control concept is still kinky. And the sphere of possibilities in this regard is largely endless. I like the idea of someone being assertive and someone else giving in to that or being forced, and the sorts of things that can be forced are really wide open (see the following items in the list). I just call the line at things like rape or pain. Those are genuine turn-offs.
6) Reptile-ladies. This is where the real furriness starts showing through, not just the kinky side of me that could get satisfied with a trip to the porn store. It goes a bit past a sexual thing here, and really more into my ideals about body-type, personality, ability, and sense of self. I've always been fascinated by reptiles. Snakes, lizards, ect. Scales I find wonderful, both in feel and in appearance. The behavior of them I find equally so, because reptiles portray a mix of traits that are almost feline, but infinitely more measured and precise. But no, I'm not sexually turned-on by animal members of the family.
The furry community opens the idea of anthropomorphic reptiles though, and because I'm much more inclined to females, that includes reptile-females with boobs. Yay!
Imagery or stories with reptilian females I'll love almost unconditionally.
7) Mew-whatevers. Mewtwo's body-type I loved. Female renditions of it I find exciting. And hot damn do I love Nek0Gami's renditions of Salah!
Seriously! Mewtwo-inspired morphs have almost an exaggerated version of the female form, but not quite exaggerated, and from the entirely furry perspective the tail blends into things seamlessly and sensually. I love the potential of a body like that to look incredibly sexy incredibly easily.
8) Alternative genders. Following the way above comment about being at best bi-curious, this one probably catches people either off-guard, or isn't much of a surprise.
I'm the open type. When it comes to relating to another person I don't really give a damn if they're male, female, shemale, intersexed, hermaphrodite, ect. It's actually damned irritating that people do act like asses about something that's either a representation of someone's ideals or something they honestly can't do a single thing about for risk of their health.
And to be frank, while I'm a guy, every single other guy has wondered what the other side feels when they're having sex. It's human nature to wonder things like that. And when you read stuff on FA that involves either the opposite sex or those with cross-gender traits you get at least a mental glimpse of what goes on and what it's like.
And to be frank, lots of it sounds damned appealing. So appreciating the image of a hermaphrodite, an intersex male, ect, that's not a big deal for me to admit to liking. Why not fantasize about a body that can experience the best of both worlds? There's actual members of their gender in this one anyway. Anyone who objects is really just upholding a social norm that is actually violated more often than they even imagine. I find the only reason anything bad happens when someone admits to liking a gender different than male or female is when someone else who's afraid of those concept cops an attitude about it. The trouble usually comes from the one's afraid of differences.
9) Transformation. It's a niche fetish, yes. But I've always been fascinated with the concept even in a non-erotic usage. Some people hold the human form in high-regard, and say it's a model of superiority.
As many furries probably already feel themselves, I disagree. So content featuring the body being modified for whatever purpose I'm drawn to if for no other reason than to see what kind of final design is reached and for what purpose (and you'll note that word 'purpose', and how it connects to the point I made above about there being a reason that's understandable. Pointless or otherwise random TFs I find irritating wastes of potential).
But wow! It's got so much erotic potential! Transformation can imply a loss of control or domination if it's done unwillingly or to an unwanted extent. It can cross genders. It can change species. Wanna throw merging in there? You can! Wanna go for the ultimate loss of control, and touch on inanimate transformation? Go for it! Plant-based and rooted in place when it's all said and done? Why not? That's another kind of restrain, control, and bondage all wrapped into one. Transformation by nanomachines into one of Nek0Gami's LGDs? Fuck yeah! Then it's wrapping up SCIENCE, a bit of mind control, and the final form isn't bound to any species barrier or inspiration.
It's exotic and limitless, and that's the appeal.

An awesome artist, who also apparently really enjoyed my 'A Treasure Worth the While' story. So clearly an open-minded individual.

An excellent artist. He used to be a really good friend of mine, but then he just stopped posting art, stories, and actually hasn't even contacted me on AIM in months. He hasn't updated anything at all on his FA page either. I figure this'll at least annoy him a bit.

A wonderful writer who's on a few sites that I am, besides this one. Some of her stories I honestly didn't 'get', but some of her works were among the first I'd read on FA, and they were consistently high-quality.
