I have a cold right now, so I'm both feeling loopy and have plenty of time to think. So I figured I'd explain something, as long as I have the time.

Frequently I get people asking me for pictures of Cindi, or one of my other characters, in classically tittalating attire or poses. I've even been asked to have her dressed up in stuff like dominatrix gear, or for pictures of her during moments that would most generously be called private.

There are two reasons why I rarely go this far with my characters. First, there is the fact that I am a rather shy man, and was raised to believe that certain matters should be kept private, so I'm not terribly comfortable crossing a certain threshold to start with.

More importantly however, I actually find a lot of these things, curves, sexy poses, revealing outfits, etc; to only be minimally compelling without one very specific ingredient.

Affection.

There is a vast gulf between two random warm bodies coupling, and a close and trusting couple making love. For me at least, the later is vastly more compelling. If given the chance, I doubt I'd go to bed with a complete stranger, regardless of how beautiful she may be. However, the thought of "spending time, " with a woman who shared genuine feelings of affection for me, is a vastly exciting concept.

As for why I don't show this exactly, well, again I'm shy but in addition to that affection is harder to write. This is especially true if you try to combine it with other subjects I find compelling.

On this subject, I am going to try to get something new commissioned soon.
