Swimsuits – The meaning of summertime?
Posted on | July 1, 2009 | 6 Comments
Well, we’re well into summer here in the UK – it’s the tradition here to have an uncharacteristically warm spell in June, which gets all the nice hours of sunshine out of the way to make way for business as usual during July and August (if the recent years are anything to go by…)
And what could be the better highlight of summer than the obligatory beach episode? The (freezing cold) sea! The sand that gets everywhere for days afterwards! The sun that goes behind a cloud the moment you’ve changed into your swimsuit! The really sharp things that cut your feet after you’ve finally gotten used to the freezing cold water! Ahh…the joys of the beach trip.
Of course, things are different in animeland. There, the clouds never cover up the sun and the sand virtually never gets everywhere you wouldn’t want it to go (except for comic effect, of course…So on request this week, I’ve decided to do a post about swimsuits!
So what is it particularly about swimsuits that gets mens (and presumably some women’s) hearts ablaze with moe power? Here are a few suggestions…
- There is a significant increase in skin exposure
What better excuse to see women in their underwear and not be slapped? It is fairly amusing that (anime) girls will fly into a pervert induced fist flying fury when they get walked in on in their underwear but will happily run around on the beach in – what are effectively bra and panties. I guess in the former they are unexpectedly being seen in their skimpies, whereas in the latter they spend hours and hours picking out even skimpier skimpies so that men will look at them. Boggling. - The skin tightness exposes the curves in all the right places (as opposed to reality, where 80% of the time it exposes the fat in all the wrong places)
Let’s face it, all anime girls are artificially built like Barbie dolls, so what better way to show off that figure than with a wet T-shirt competiti—ahem, with running down the beach in your skin hugging one-piece. Oh, and for the benefit of those of the fairer sex who are a little too roly poly for a bikini – please please don’t wear a bikini. You’re putting that family over there off their lunch… - Increased bounce from lack of bra
Well, refer back to point 1 – since bikini tops are effectively brassieres but without the useful added support (or as love and I like to call it – Advanced Japanese Technology), running down the beach in a bikini is effectively like watching Queen’s Blade (where presumably the bra hasn’t been invented yet…or fighting strengthens the pectorals sufficiently that they aren’t needed…) See also point 5 - It’s like seeing girls in underwear, but outdoors
Again with the underwear…we get it – men like seeing girls in skimpy clothing. - Nipples
This is a pretty Marmite point (no, not Marimite point – I can’t really picture Sachiko in a bikini), since I’m not really into the whole “suggestive nipple outline” thing, but I assume the creators of the artificial erect nipple prosthetics are. Personally, I think waterproof bandaids over nipples are far more sexy. And they avoid chafing. Bonus.
I must stress at this point that there doesn’t seem to be anything sexy at all about men’s swimwear – I suppose girls who get their kicks from seeing mens’ packages in Speedos are in there, but the Bermuda shorts favoured by those of us whose brains are above our waists are not exactly the babe magnets that we’d hope them to be.
But there are so many choices when it comes to girls’ swimsuits… Here are a few of the regular human styles – and a few of the more exotic (and gravity defying) styles that anime has brought us:
- One piece
Ahh, the poor one piece – least sexy and most conservative of all swimwear. Best used in order to accentuate a girl’s shy character (see also School swimsuit) or her “normal-ness” e.g. the main love interest in a harem/H-game anime. The one advantage of this design is that it pulls the midriff flab in slightly and avoids “overspillage” over the waistline. Not that that’s a problem in anime. - Tankini
The favoured swimwear of the flat chested and the sporty (read: flat chested), the Tankini is a tank top on top of bikini bottoms. The main reason that better endowed women don’t wear it is that with larger breasts it somehow ceases to be swimwear and just looks like everyday wear. Hmm. Maybe this is because flat-chested girls don’t wear tank tops since it accentuates their flat-chestedness. At least on the beach you can look kind of sporty and cool, as opposed to not ever being able to fill out an AA cup bikini top. There there. - Bikini
The mainstay of the beachwear community, I think we can thank America for bringing underwear to beaches worldwide. Bikinis come in many shapes and sizes – tops can be double strapped or halterneck and bottoms can be strung or held together with more chunky straps. Girls will spend hours and hours picking out a suitable bikini, since this is critically important to show off their fashion sense to men. Men will then completely ignore the design and look for the cleavage and cameltoes instead. Here’s a plain bikini to get us started… - String bikini
The same as above, but the panels are held together with string (or ribbon). Somehow, the addition of string makes the whole ensemble more than 4.5 times more sexy. The reason for this is multiple. First of all, the hips are exposed more which everyone knows is one of a girl’s best selling points. And secondly, there is the suggestion that the whole thing could come off with a simple pull of a string. Remember girls – you learned to tie Granny knots in Brownies for a reason! - Impossible string bikini
And now the exclusive anime versions – The impossible string bikini consists of small (read: postage stamp sized) triangles of fabric (not always triangles, sometimes they are stars, sometimes seashells) held together by impossibly narrow strings. Inevitably, these are worn by enormous breasted women such as the ones currently showcased in Queen’s Blade. On first impression it may seem that these bikinis defy gravity by never slipping from their position atop the nipples, but this is not so. In fact, these are the evolution of the burlesque pastie – the back of the panels adheres to the nipples with a waterproof adhesive therefore supporting the breast and preserving a girl’s pride at the same time. Removal of the bikini, however is a far more tricky task… - Neck sash style bikini
Another style favoured by large breasted girls, this consists of a strip of fabric that wraps around the neck, over both breasts and converges to go under the crotch and connect back up at the neck at the back. Needless to say, the physics keeping a vertically held sash over nipples on an unsupported breast are more mind boggling than the impossible string bikini. However, the swimsuit manufacturers have another trick up their sleeve. Cunningly hidden within the sashes are very small suction cups which attach to the user’s nipples, keeping the garment in place while running. They also serve the purpose of being mildly pleasurable to wear and are easier to remove than the adhesive. Clever, huh? - Sling bikini (also impossible)
Famously worn by that teacher I can’t remember the name of at the moment from Mahoromatic, the just string bikini is an evolution of the Neck sash style, but with just very narrow string instead of the sash. The string widens silghtly in order to cover the nipples and vagina, but only very slightly. On first impression, this might seem to be the most impossible bikini in existance, but in fact the string is secretly wound round…nah I can’t even explain this one. Very silly indeed. - Band bikini (or underboob bikini)
Band bikinis are bikinis that have tops that are basically a narrow boob tube (read: strip of material encircling the breasts), held up by sheer elastic power. The main function of the band bikini is to accentuate the underboob, which, as anyone who has watched Saki knows, is the Holy Grail of big breasts. Forget cleavage – everyone has that. All big breasts deserve underboob. Hmm…that could be a new musical mnemonic. - School swimsuit
And finally we come to the very reason for the post – the best of the best – the School swimsuit. Unlike the UK, which has a variety of school issue swimsuits (or even none at all at some schools), Japan seems to have adopted a single design for its school swimsuits – dark blue onepieces with an optional white namelabel (I think these don’t really get used past elementary level in reality). The cunning thing about the school swimsuit design is that there is a gap in the material between the upper part of the onepiece and the lower – around the level of the pantyline. While the actual use of this gap remains a mystery (to me), it certainly allows for easier access for the more perverted of the female schoolgirl crowd. One might even think that it was designed specially for the purpose…perish the thought.
Analysing the Yuri Potential in Saki – Part 2
Posted on | June 22, 2009 | 3 Comments
In this part of the analysis of the latest in the line of my favourite yuri subtext anime, we’ll be looking at the main fanon relationship between the protagonist Saki and her best girl, the J-league chested Nodoka. Now as I said in the previous post, their relationship is built on one three word phrase…
No, not “I love you”, that would be so corny.
It’s Saki’s favourite phrase – “Issho ni ikou?” or roughly translated “Shall we go together?” said with an innocence that should be illegal in some parts of the world (or at least something you would pay good money for.)
So in this post, I’ll be analysing all the Nodoka/Saki moments, especially the instances in which Saki says “Issho ni ikou” and Nodoka’s evolving reactions, from anger to surprise, through embarrassment and finally to (pre-coital) happiness.
Scene analysis
Episode 1 – First meeting
Saki: My Lord! I am thankful that I wasn’t lumbered with breasts that big! I can’t imagine what that does to her back – let alone what her bras must cost her!
Nodoka: Hmm, I don’t think this school was thinking of someone of my “credentials” when they designed these shirts…
Episode 1 – Rain Hug
Nodoka: Running…hurts…breasts…
Saki: Now I know what they’re for – crash protection!
Episode 2 – Conversation after school
Saki: Haramura-san, I’ve got to know – where on earth do you buy your bras?
Nodoka: I’m not going to tell you – Because you don’t even like mahjong!
Episode 3 – Argument
Saki: It’s fun to play mahjong with you, Haramura san!
Nodoka: If you continue to stare at my breasts instead of playing properly, then I suggest you quit the mahjong club!
Episode 3 – Revelation
Saki: Haramura-san, let’s go together!
Nodoka: But but but but but…my heart isn’t ready yet! We’ve only just had a tearful reconciliation over the fact that we both want to do our best, so having sex straight after that would be wild and unbridled passionate lovemaking that would make the couple in the neighbouring love-hotel room heart-wrenchingly jealous!
Saki: Erm…I meant…y’know, to the Nationals? But now you mention it…
Episode 4 – Memories of the night before
Flashback Saki: Let’s go to the nationals together!
Nodoka: That’s what she said to me before she showed me so many things that she could do with this one finger that it kept me up all night. Yep, I never knew someone could be so skilled at playing the piano badly using only her little finger.
Episode 4 – The awkward morning after
Saki: I really enjoyed last night! Let’s go together again!
Nodoka: Well of course you enjoyed it, you were the one holding the whip…
Episode 5 – Waterfall
Saki: Don’t be afraid of getting your yukata wet, Haramura-san – it’ll be just like episode 1 all over again!
Nodoka: Wow, to think since that episode we’ve had hot unbridled passionate lesbian sex at least three times. It’s so nostalgic…
Saki: Yeah, you probably shouldn’t have mentioned that out loud…
Episode 6 – Good luck! Nodocchi!
Saki: It’s your turn Haramura-san! If you knock one of the players out so I don’t have to play, then there’ll be an “internet surprise” waiting inside Etopen for when you get home!
Nodoka: Yeah! I’m not so sure I want to win now… 
Episode 8 – Ramen
Saki: You haven’t had ramen before, Haramura-san?
Nodoka: I have!
Saki: There’s more to it than just eating it, you know! My sister taught me so many ways…It’s so hot and slippery it feels really good!
Nodoka: …please just stop talking right now.
Episode 8 – Night revelations
Saki: Did you read that in “Night on the Galactic Railroad”?
Nodoka: Yeah! Have you read it too?
Saki: Actually, I borrowed it from your desk a couple of weeks ago! After I finish reading it at night, it’s really useful for other things too!
Nodoka: Please don’t use my library books like that…
Episode 8 – Night time promise
Nodoka: So you promise never to use my library books as a masturbatory aid again?
Saki: I’ will make sure that they are securely waterproofed/sealed in a ziplock bag or other suitable enclosure before I indulge!
Nodoka: …Ah well, that’s good enough
Episode 10 – Together alone – and in a public place at last
Saki: Why do you fold your socks and skirt so neatly, Haramura-san?
Nodoka: Because if you violate me in here like you usually do, then they’re going to get wrinkled…
Saki: I see…but it’s a public place, so I was just going to sleep.
Nodoka: (is somehow silently disappointed)
Episode 10 – An awkward time
Saki: I’ve been meaning to ask, Haramura-san, but have you ever had cosmetic surgery?
Nodoka: Shit! Is it really that obvious??
AUDIENCE: YES. YES IT IS.
Episode 11 – Reconciliation
Saki: You know, I don’t care if you’ve had cosmetic surgery in the past, Haramura-san, I love your breasts and every other part of you that I violate just the way they are.
Nodoka: I think I might just love you, Miyanaga-san.
Saki: So let’s make passionate love on the mahjong table in the game room after my round, OK?
Nodoka: I’ll look forward to it!
Episode 12 – Grope
Nodoka: *grope grope*
Summary
I will try to translate more Saki yuri doujinshi in the future. That is all.
Analysing the Yuri potential in Saki – Part 1
Posted on | June 15, 2009 | 8 Comments
As my mahjong playing friends will attest to, I’ve gotten rather attached to the new anime Saki – about the eponymously named mahjong genius Saki as she plays fun games of mahjong with her friends in the hope of getting to the national mahjong tournaments (ridiculous though it may seem, there are national and international mahjong tournaments…similar to having international poker tournaments, I suppose.)
In my humble loser yuri fanboy opinion, Saki has one of the best yuri potentials of the current spring season (with the obvious exception of Queen’s Blade, which doesn’t seem to have any straight characters at all.) The relationships are a heady mix of subtext, implied and fanimagined which make for interesting watching and reading bucketloads of lesbian secks into.
So in this post I’ll be analysing all the relationships in Saki according to my yuri ratings scale. Next post I’ll be focussing on the main canon pairing of the series – Miyanaga Saki x Haramura Nodoka.
So let’s start as we mean to go on:
Saki x Nodoka
Type: Implied/Subtext
Additional features: Asymmetrical docking
The main subtext pairing of the series is an amusing one – If we look at the characters individually, we see Nodoka is a Quiet Ojou type who is a bit of a loner but has humongous breasts (which she apparently acquired in the last year), whereas Saki is more of a Normal type with extraordinary skills (and a flat chest). They’re both fairly taciturn, which makes for a rather cute pairing, as they both get embarrassed by each other (though Nodoka more), especially because Saki is quite the touchy feely kind of girl (and loves to say “Let’s go together” which in any other culture would be an invitation for an all night make up and thigh busting session).
Although at first Nodoka is rather blunt towards Saki because of her appearing fickle towards her beloved mahjong, this rapidly turns into admiration to her sheer ability (read: luck) and later on, something resembling “more-than-friendship”. The only thing throwing a spanner in the works as far as this relationship is concerned is Nodoka’s inexperience with human relationships. This makes it difficult to think about whether to take her embarassment at being close to Saki as liking her or as not being used to be so close to another human being.
Nevertheless, they remain the cute couple of the series and never an episode passes by without Saki saying “Let’s go together” and Nodoka blushing accordingly. And we all know Saki’s secretly a cat ‘o nine tails wielding seme (top) behind closed doors…
Yuuki x Nodoka
Type: Fan only
Additional features: Asymmetrical docking, Loli-yuri, Lol-fang
Yuuki is the character that looks a great deal like Sakura Kinomoto from Card Captor Sakura. However, her Taco-obsessed, Lol-fang tan personality has nothing in common and I was stupid to even make that comparison (but they damn well look the same). Yuuki’s known Nodoka for a couple of years since middle school, so it makes senes that the time she graduated from long skirts to her cat-belted minis she also graduated from her teenage angst ridden peer-pressure to sleep with men and was awakened to the lily-tinted side of rampant girl school lesbianism. And I’m sure Nodoka, inexperienced in the ways of girl-girl friendship would have been all too happy to oblige.
Ahh, the wonderful world of reading yuri into every healthy female relationship.
Seriously though, this wouldn’t happen – we all know Yuuki’s miles into Kyoutaro so she’s joined the dark side already. Although she’ll happily do some asymmetrical docking with Nodoka’s twin safety airbags once in a while.
Everyone at Kazekoshi x Mihoko (permanent wink girl)
Type: Sempai admiration
Additional features: Group orgy, Nekomimi, Debusen (fat girl)
It’s a pretty common scenario – the quiet Ojou type sempai gets doted on by all her underclassmen – especially the one who seems to be able to grow cat ears on request…or whenever anyone pets her on the head. This one’s made cuter by the fact that Mihoko has the personality traits of being outwardly kind and inwardly ruthless…oh and her ability to tie herself up in shibari with computer cables is not to be challenged. Oh, did we mention that she has heterochromia? that is teh sexay. Just ask Marilyn Manson.
Mohoko x Hisa
Type: Fan only
Additional features: Rivals, twintails
It’s that old chestnut - “old enemies and long time rivals make good couples”. Completely untrue, of course. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I compete with someone it doesn’t make me want to have sex with them…unless I’m competing with them in bed. Well, that’s a different matter. Anyway – the awesome heterochromia-fuelled Mihoko being secret long-term rivals with the occasionally twintailed, secretly awesome sempai type Takei Hisa? I wouldn’t be surprised if after their match they slipped away somewhere for some long catch-up sex. Well, actually I would be surprised, but I would pretend not to be for the sake of appearances.
| This poster should be illegal…heheh
Everyone x Koromo
Type: Gang rape
Additional features: Usa-mimi, loli
Well, how could anyone resist? She’s just so darned cute and Tsundere-y you just want to smother her with your enormous breast pillows while she yells obscenities at you and everyone else joined in the fun of teaching her the ways of the tongue and double dildo. And the bunny ears make it look like her long term goal is not to become world mahjong champion but to grow up big and curvy and get a key to the Playboy mansion. You’ve got to admire that.
It’s characters like her that breed lolicon perverts, you know…
Mako’s voice rapes everyone up the ass
I really hate Mako’s accent.
Nuff said.
Nanohana wa dame!! On the banning of rape erogames
Posted on | June 9, 2009 | 12 Comments
I’m guessing that most of you that read this blog are pretty tuned in to the ins, outs and oddities of the Japanese anime and hentai market. I’m sure you know that the content of hentai and especially ero-games has been a subject of debate for a long time – especially lolicon. And so I’m sure that you all know that there was an emergency legislation meeting recently (last week), in which it was decided that rape was to be banned in ero-games from the 5th of June.
Here are the details from Canned Dogs:
- Words such as “training” or “slave”, among others, are not allowed in the title or packaging
- HCG involving sexual violation cannot exceed 20% of a game’s total HCG count (ie: can’t try to build this up by having lots of everyday life CG events)
- Even if it’s below 20%, anything that is promoting a criminal offense is not allowed
- Anything that promotes rape, confinement, stalking, domestic violence, and portrays it in a way that the offender gains something out of it is not allowed
- New games that have already passed the review process by the EOCS are considered “safe” from this
- Regulations stated in the fax are completely different from what was being discussed in the emergency meeting yesterday
“The emergency EOCS meeting involving almost 100 representatives from various eroge companies has just ended, and the final conclusion is that rape games are now banned.
According to the writer, there were surprisingly little objections to this, but rather there was an atmosphere among those who were present where many felt that there was probably no other way to solve this problem. Though due to the nature of the meeting they did not actually take a vote.”
| Love…
I’m sure this came as rather a shock to the doujinshi market. There were hints at a ban a month or so before, but reporting was in a kind of “Will they, won’t they” without any real evidence to either side. Many doujinsoft companies are now left with titles in development which are completely no-go (and I think several will be releasing them anyway – and who could blame them).
There are a few issues that arise from this:
- How will this legislation shape the doujin market to come – Will the banning of rape and violation in ero-games mean that themes will become more vanilla in years to come?
- Is this just the start? Is the banning of rape themes just a lead in to banning other controversial themes such as lolicon and incest?
- Is this the start of the government finally pulling their socks up and restricting the doujinshi market – before free to do as they pleased?
I’m sure people will correct me (and I welcome it), but I think that this is the first decisive piece of legislation that Japan has put on the doujinshi market. They have been umming and erring about the issue of lolicon for a long time (much to the chagrin of the international community), they have temporarily banned certain conventions (notably ABnormal – a futanari and alternative themed comic market) but nothing long lasting.
Perhaps it was just a matter of time – Not wanting to draw on stereotypes, but I think that many countries (and people) associate Japan with unbridled depravity in their pornography, with animated themes of guro, tentacle rape and young girl porn – themes in real life that would be banned in an instant. Although I have no evidence for this, I’m sure that people have been lobbying for years to regulate the doujinshi market so that they would look at least that they were keeping a handle on things rather than just leaving them to rampage out of their control.
So why not sooner? I went through a lot of these issues in my various fetish month posts, but it all boils down to separating fantasies and reality. Since the material is animated or drawn, the themes depicted are detached from reality. The argument was that this fact made them less subversive since the acts weren’t being actually committed in real life. There is also the issue of stamping out free speech. I’ve always admired the doujinshi market as a notable expression of fan love and effort that over many years has swelled to gigantic proportions (enough to take over an entire area of Tokyo) and brings in a huge amount of cash. I’m sure that there’s nowhere else in the world that young men get so passionate about their pornography…
| …or rape? You (don’t get to) decide!
Future of doujinshi
It will be interesting to see how this will play itself out. Apparently the EOCS have decided that this legislation will be put into place slowly, but it will be obvious that it is not just going to affect ero-game manufacturers but also the artists of paper doujinshi and hentai content as a whole.
If this new regulation sticks, then it will not be long before it spreads to the other media such as downloadable doujinshi, Comic Markets and hentai movies. The overall theme of the changes seems to be “removal of content that depicts illegal activities”, so it’s altogether difficult to picture the state of the doujinshi market even at the end of the year.
Rape themes make up the bulk of doujinshi (I’ve already discussed why the Japanese seem to be obsessed with rape) and the other main themes are also no-go (such as lolicon and incest). Since Comic Market – the main medium for distribution of new doujinshi, games and other fan-made material is unlikely to go against the regulations for fear of being shut down, will we really have an (empty) Winter Comiket composed entirely of pure love doujinshi?
The answer – no one knows. The restrictions themselves seem to be hidden and horribly vague at the moment, but although they went through the ero-game manufacturers, you would imagine that the large doujinshi distribution companies would put up a fight to protect their income.
I would predict that there are two ways in which this could play out by the end of the year
- EITHER: With all doujin material restricted not to contain rape themes, and a view to banning more illegal themes such as lolicon in the future
- OR: With companies such as Toranoana and DLsite still fighting to keep legislation away from digital and paper doujinshi but restrictions slowly coming into force for ero-games
But it’s pretty unpredictable. This has been coming for a long time, so it’s unlikely that the regulations will be reconsidered. Perhaps this will lead to a slow evolution in the doujinshi mindset away from rape themes and towards more “healthy” fantasies such as “love”, “relationships” and “tentacle porn”. Somehow, I doubt it.
And anyway, if you want to rape someone, but are being stopped by that darn legal system, why not try hypnotism?
KonoSetsu – one of the great all time yuri couples
Posted on | June 1, 2009 | 5 Comments
| What Setsuna does on her days off…the dirty girl.
In case you’ve had your head in the sand the last few days, Enigma just released the scanlation for Negima chapter 252, and this happened:
I know – SQUEEfest, right?
It’s pretty fair to say that Konoka x Setsuna (or KonoSetsu) is one of the most popular Negima pairings, and fans have been waiting for this moment for pretty much since the Kyoto arc (was that volume 4 or something? it was so long ago I can’t remember) and apart from a brief clinch being caught mid-pactio in chapter 169, things have been all quiet on the Eastern front, so to speak.
So lets overanalyse the situation as usual:
The couple
- Konoka Konoe
Major – Strong Willed/Ojou
Minor – Relationship driven./clingy, Ditzy, Sensible/Voice of reason
Accessory – Mahou shoujo, Osananajimi, Regional accent
Konoka is the daughter of the head mage of the Kansai region, Eishun, and as such has great magical potential. However, since she was not cultivated from a young age, she isn’t aware of her powers at the beginning of Negima. For a long time in childhood, the only friend she had was Setsuna, her bodyguard and as such she cares for her deeply – though it is difficult to see where the sisterly love ends and the romantic love begins.
Konoka is not a character that Akamatsu has played with prior to Negima, and is difficult to summarise based on his previous work. On the surface, she’s vapid and perhaps a little too easygoing. However, this exterior hides a girl who is fiercely caring about her friends (especially Setsuna) and not afraid to express her feelings. She takes a bit from Mutsumi (Love Hina), but without the motherly airs. In other words, she’s the emotional strength to Setsuna’s physical. Interestingly, she is rarely shown using her powers, which emphasises that these are not her real strength. Her real powers are keeping spirits up and not getting tied up in knots about feelings the way Setsuna does – instead acting decisively and without regret.
- Setsuna Sakurazaki
Major – Quiet (taciturn)
Minor – Fighter (kendo), Yuri, Unexpectedly embarrassable, Submissive
Accessory – Uncanny ability (swordsmanship), Mythical creature
Setsuna is a lot easier to summarise, as she is almost exactly the same as Motoko (Love Hina) in that she is a Kendo girl with great strength who is unexpectedly embarassable in the right situations and holds a quiet devotion to the woman she loves. She guarded Konoka with her life from a young age, but began to distance herself from her so that Konoka could live what she considered a normal life. Konoka thought this was rubbish, of course.
Setsuna has held a torch for Konoka since day 1, and though it must have been painful for her to distance herself the way she did, she had been lying to herself that her love was unnatural (since she was a mere servant, and a half-demon at that, never mind of the same gender) and the best place that she could be would be watching her beloved from the shadows and protecting her without her knowledge. The sudden reconciliation during the Kyoto arc sent her reeling in many ways, since she realised that her previous values were far off what Konoka herself wanted. Suddenly, she found herself thrust right back into close proximity to her beloved again with the prospect of romantic love very much back on the cards.
The fact that Konoka often holds hands with Setsuna, compliments her unnecessarily or pecks her on the cheek were intentionally difficult to take in a romantic context. Since Konoka was portrayed as the kind of girl who would do that to a dear friend in the first place (combined with the fact that she loves teasing Setsuna), its not surprising that the fanfiction community took things back into their own hands.
The Kiss
So what of the actual kiss scene? The one we have been waiting 200+ chapters to see?
Well, it was a whole lot more squee than I expected (this month has been filled with squee it seems, though Girlfriends seems to be backpedalling fast O_o). The chapter itself was pretty pedestrian (apart from TEH BIG REVELASHUN) – with Setsuna internally musing about whether her new found closeness with her beloved Konoka was affecting her fighting ability and more importantly, her ability to protect her ojousama. In fact, she’s probably been musing about this since Eva laid the beat down on her probably about 10 volumes ago.
And then, completely out of left field, PACTIO!
Not to mention the lingering lips and the little moan of parting (and Setsuna not realising that when French kissing you can breathe through your nose). This really put this apart from the other pactio scenes that we’d already seen with Negi (which were purely functional.
I think what Akamatsu sensei was trying to convey with the little details on this scene is that Konoka does have feelings for Setsuna in a romantic sense. With just a little bit of suggestion in those few panels, he has turned the relationship from borderline subtext into overt yuri. With a deep kiss like that there cannot be any doubt in any readers hearts that Konoka wishes for nothing more than to see her beloved Setsuna ballgagged and strapped naked to a cross with her in a day-glo purple catsuit and matching whip. Cause we all know who wears the trousers in their relationship…
So yay! Let’s hope that Konoka and Setsuna isn’t going to drift into obscurity again after this key event and that Akamatsu sensei can write some more fun and suggestive storylines for them in the future.
Oh and commiserations to the Negi/Asunas fans. Sucks to be you, eh?
A discourse on Brazil’s most important contribution to the world
Posted on | May 31, 2009 | 6 Comments
| This is a public service announcement – When your dress is brave, make sure to shave.
Hi all,
Once again apologies for going awol – I was finishing off my course with a spot of shadowing – that means following people around, making a nuisance of myself and stabbing people to suck their blood. All good. Well, results of my exams on tuesday, but still…
So, a few of you might be wondering what exactly Brazil’s most important contribution to the world was. Well, let’s look at some of Brazil’s most important exports
1. Brazil Nuts – Possibly the highest Effort to taste ratio of any food including coconuts
2. Ronaldo – Well, I could give a hoot about football…but I won’t.
3. Beef farmed at the expense of the Amazon rainforest – I’m sure the cows appreciate it…
4. Cachaca – Is obviously awesome – I think we’re getting closer…
5. BRAZILIAN WAXING
Oh yes. This week’s post will be a discourse on hirsutism and the lack thereof, both in and out of hentai animation.
Introduction
For those of you not in the know about waxing techniques, the Brazilian is a waxing technique where all the pubic hair on the pubis, buttocks and perineum is removed, sometimes leaving a small trail on the pubic mound. (Read: front, back and crack). Similar effects can be gained by shaving or epilating pubic hair, but I’m sure you all know that ^^
The place of bodily hair in pornography has waned over the years. There has never been a huge place for women with hairy armpits or legs, for example (thought I’m sure there are fetish videos to that effect somewhere). Pubic hair was generally left to grow wild in the era of classic pornography, with the pornstars of the era generally resembling your friend’s mum, with an unruly bush that could strangle a hippo.
However, with the rise in popularity of smaller and smaller bathing suits and the appearance of the bikini, more radical hair removal techniques were adopted to the present day, where seeing any pubic hair in porn at all is unusual. Even the male pornstars have followed suit, both with their pubic and body hair. It’s pretty safe to say that the tall, muscular and glabrous male is ‘in’, at least in terms of the adult entertainment industry.
In the world of hentai things are pretty much the same – it’s quite rare for girls to have pubic hair drawn on them (though this too was much more frequent in the hentai of old) and even rarer for the men to have any pubes at all. (Interestingly though, Japanese real-life pornography seems the opposite with unkempt being more the norm.[citation needed])
| You know I trawl to find pictures that are even vaguely worksafe for this blog…
Why the change?
So why has this happened? Let’s first start with the Western angle. As I said before, hair was first trimmed to keep with the fashions of wearing ever more abbreviated underwear and swimwear in order to not have the dreaded Visible Bikini Line. However, this doesn’t explain the progression to the complete removal that we see more commonly these days.
I propose that there are two mechanisms at work here.
1. Having less pubic hair (for both the male and female parts) means that close ups of penetration are cleaner and less obscured.
Perhaps in the 70s and 80s it wasn’t considered tasteful (for what taste is worth) to do too many closeups and much of the shots were done from a distance. However, with the mostly male crowds clamouring for more explicit penetration shots, it’s become more important that this picture isn’t ruined by the pornstars’ short and curlies.
2. The idea of youth
Especially with the focus of popularity on younger women in men’s magazines such as FHM and Maxim, it seems that large amounts of pubic hair have become associated with aging (and not being so bothered to keep it neat) therefore making pornstars who keep their pubes long seem older and therefore less desirable.
For the male side of things, there is also the added bonus that less pubic hair makes the male member seem larger (and we all know that size matters…in terms of your paycheck)
And what about Hentai?
Well, it doesn’t take a genius to make the first point that:
Japanese people are less hairy
I would expect that some time in the past, there was a mild sexual selection for lack of body, arm and leg hair, which manifests that many Japanese girls lack the problems of their Western counterparts: namely, horribly expensive Gillette razors. Even the men are generally less hairy with a definite reduction in body hair.
But why the trend in hentai for the Brazilian?
Could it possibly be a mimicking of Western culture – since we see a similar trend of reducing pubic hair as we move from old hentai of the 80s to today’s? Possibly.
Could there also be an element of making closeups of penetration more clean and less obscured as with Western pornography? Very possibly.
Could an additional element be the rise in popularity of moe-loli and the symbolism of youth in hentai as well? Probably (though this doesn’t fully explain the Brazilian waxed older onee-sans and shotacons.)
The truth, probably a combination of all three.
Though the real truth is that I’m probably overanalysing. It’s entirely true that pubic hair, as with swimsuits, shoes and lingerie is a victim of fashion, and the current fashion in both the West and Japan is “less is sexy”, therefore the adult industry follows suit and most of my other advantages are extra-numerary.
I mean, which would you choose if you had the choice – the tousled briars of Sakamoto Mio or the Ritsu’s shaven haven?
Well, obviously Mio’s…though the choice would be different if there was a ball gag and a paper bag handy of course.
A Celebration of Mahou Shoujo
Posted on | May 25, 2009 | 5 Comments
Now as someone who has read my Twitter will know – the webpage for the Nanoha movie has recently been launched! Now for those of you grumbling that StrikerS was a pile of old codswallop, let me tell you this – it’s the original loli-riffic models ^^. The premise is that the story is set between A’s and StrikerS, I think. But anyway, if anything this will certainly cure the “Too many characters, not enough action” syndrome that they ended up with with StrikerS. And can someone please put Erio down? For his own good?
But that started me reminiscing over the good old days of mahou shoujo or Magical Girl anime. Magical Girl series were pretty popular back in the olden days of cel shading – the ldest was probably (the many faces of) Cutie Honey but noone could dispute that the most classic and long running was Sailor Moon in 1992 (now probably surpassed by Pretty Cure). But in fact, virtually every studio was churning out some kind of schoolgirl based mayhem. CLAMP got their rocks off with Rayearth and later (and more successfully) Card Captor Sakura, only for it to be butchered at the hands of 4kids. And I’m sure everyone remembers such runaway hits as G-on Riders! and Mermaid melody Pitchi pitch pitch pitch x infinity.
However, the big surge of magical girl anime in the early 90’s ebbed to a stop, with long running series giving way to shorter and more punchy storylines, relegating classic magical girl to the depths of kids TV (Ojemajo Doremi), irony (Magikano, Nurse Witch Komugi, Magical Poka~n) and amusingly, pornography (Angel Blade, Beat Angel Escalayer)
Even current series bear little resemblance to the original takes on the genre, with Nanoha sharing the glory with such gems as My HiME/Otome and Shugo Chara! giving the “new take” on this old material.
However a genre grows and develops, it never seems to get rid of its roots. And magical girl is no exception. Nanoha, for example, retains quite a large number of the aspects of the original Magical Girl stereotype although the way in which the anime is executed shows that these more recent series are targeted at a very different audience – Male moe-obsessed, action-craving otaku.
Let’s take a look at some of these classic elements:
1. The Magical girl
Where better to start with than with the magical girl herself. As everyone knows, elementary school girls make the best magical girls, closely followed by middle schoolers and then high schoolers right at the bottom of the pack. The reason? High schoolers get too embarrassed during the nude transformation sequence (see point 8) and therefore magic power is markedly reduced. Scientifically proven that.
Unwittingly, this elementary schooler(s) are just wandering along in their everyday lives when lo and behold, they save the fluffy creature of point (2) from the VERY JAWS OF EVIL, therefore granting them the use of mgical powers which are NO USE IN REAL LIFE. Shame that. If only they could use Pretty cure Marble screw to bring an end to the war in Iraq I’m sure many people would be happy.
2. The furry sidekick
Any particular reason why the creature that said schoolkid rescues from the VERY JAWS OF EVIL has to be a particularly fluffy/cute specimen bar the obvious marketing advantages remains a mystery. Added merchandising bonuses if the fluffy creatures can change into something equally and separately marketable (Yes, Pretty cure, we’re talking about you)
Although I would quite like a life sized Reinforce…
3. The Magical device
Every magical girl needs her wand, though nothing quite beats the sheer power and sadisticness of Raging Heart in Excelion Mode.
4. The repetitive storyline
So why do we have to collect 100000 of these things that you scattered all over the Earth again? Because otherwise it’ll cause the END OF THE WORLD? Oh, I nearly forgot. Silly me.
5. The multiply recurring enemy
Didn’t we, you know, just kill you 99999 times already? Oh well, I guess one more time couldn’t hurt. Well, NOT ME ANYWAY!
6. The all-defeating magical attack
Two words – SUTARRAITO….BUREIKAAAAA~~~~
7. The ridiculous magical activation phrase
I think maybe they thought that schoolkids would be so enthralled by the series that they’d chant the transformation activation sequences in the playground while playing Sailor Moon with their friends. And then of course nip behind the nearest tree to strip off and change into that 10000yen Sailor Uranus costume that mum bought in a dodgy cosplay shop in Akiba. Ah, those were the days.
8. The nude transformation sequence
If there’s something that magical girl anime has taught us, it’s that we love nothing better than seeing a ten-year-old girl get stripped naked and clothes to suddenly appear sequentially on her body while the camera whips round artfully to avoid revealing the fact that she lacks nipples. And sexual organs.
9. The subtextual lesbianism
What do you mean subtextual? It’s there, plain as day! Especially that bit on sports day when Tomoyo hands Sakura a towel. She’s obviously saying that she’ll be *BEEP*ing her in the PE store cupboard in 10 minutes.
10. The long awaited new series with a new set of characters made just to shift more merchandising that just doesn’t work as well as the old one did.
Sad, but undoubtedly and irrevocably true.
New Yuri animations Ahoy!
Posted on | May 15, 2009 | 6 Comments
Yeah I translated my Facebook to Pirate. I still haven’t got bored of it, but sometimes I get lost and can’t find the functions properly -_-
So, this post is about the yuri in the current season and a couple of anime on the horizon for yuri fans amongst us (all of you, I hope!)
Now showing!
K-ON! (Ritsu/Mio, Tsumugi/Sawako)
Where would we be without Kyoto Animation? Well, probably about £40+ richer and with significantly less Haruhi merchandise methinks. So what of this latest offering from them? I think most of you know my opinion on the series – mainly that Mio is awesome and Yui the most annoying airhead this side of Tokyo. The parallels with Lucky Star are many and have all been made (Yep, it’s a 4 koma with 4 girls with basic 4 personalities – Hyper, Ojou, Quiet(Unexpectedly embarassable) and Baka – see my fanservice guide for more details). Nothing new here guys. I guess KyoAni saw that the Haruhi songs made them a fuck-load of yen so what better than an anime where there are loads of songs of various quality sung by cute seiyuu they can flog to unsuspecting drooling otaku. Makes sense.
The yuri offering in K-ON! comes first in the form of hyperactive baka Ritsu and her childhood friend/shima-pantsu goddess quiet and unexpectedly delicate Mio. Their relationship reminds me of one of the ships I supported way back in the beginning of my anime career – i.e. Tomo/Yomi from Azumanga Daioh. God that takes me back about 7 years. Anyway, if there’s one thing we’ve learned from reading badly spelled fanfiction, it’s that bashing your childhood friend around is an expression of deep passionate love. Therefore, Mio is actually looking for the first opportunity to jump Ritsu’s bones, so to speak. If only she could find a way to fuck her brains out without showing her panties. Or taking any clothes off. It’s kinda interesting to note that Mio’s personality would be absolutely repulsive on a male protagonist, but makes her the ultimate moe of the season. Just thought I’d point that out.
The second and more recently cupful of yuri is Tsumugi’s adoration for newly introduced and winner of “most original character this season”, multiple-personalities Sawako-chan. Though I’m not sure if Tsumugi is so enchanted by the sight of her that she forgets that Sawa-chan plays the guitar like a demon and used to dress as such. Sawa-chan should have learned – only Kiss can pull off that ensemble. And as a famous music reviewer once said “I saw Kiss as just a gimmick, but at the end of the day he’s the one tongue deep in some girl’s box, so who am I to argue” Nuff said. And anyway, I think that given the opportunity, Tsumugi could be tongue deep in Sawa-chan’s p…(Snip – Ed.)
Ahem. Anyway. What’s an all girls anime without a little same-sex love interest…One that ends up in the Recycle Bin I tells ya!
Saki (Saki/Nodoka)
I really need to dig out my old Mahjong set. Yep, watching Saki really makes me want to play Mahjong. I am a commercial influenced dumbass for sure this time. I remember playing Mahjong with my family. It was a different experience than the one suggested on Saki – mostly that we didn’t know how to play, the board takes ages to set up without an automatic table, no one really knows what scores what at the end and what the hell are those flower tiles for anyway???
Anyway, the only reason to watch Saki is (a) just on the off chance that Student Council President plays a match and beats everyone with her awesomeness or (b) to watch Nodoka’s pendulous breasts hypnotise Saki across the Mahjong board. If anyone hasn’t noticed that Ashita ha Docchi Da! (the group that did the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and Code Geass 4komas) is now doing a Saki 4 koma featuring Saki as an udder-obsessed bag of teenage hormones, go here*
Candy Boy (Yukino/Kanade)
Episode 7 hasn’t been translated at point of writing, but there’s a good summary here* and you can watch the raw episode on NIcoNicoDouga or download it at TokyoTosho. Needless to say, there’s a squeal worthy moment. Incest FTW
Queen’s Blade (Everyone/Everyone)
Where would fanservice be without yuri? Expect a whole lot of symmetrical docking and Aya Hirano in her most random role ever. I’ve even lost track of the yuri, but there’s a hell of a lot of it. Not quite as graphic as Ikkitousen though beats it in sheer quantity.
To the future!
Aoi Hana
Aoi Hana is an anime adaptation of a manga of the same name translated by Lillilicious as Sweet Blue Flowers. It revolves around the recently reunited osananajimi – Manjoume Fumi (the tall, bookish one) and Okudaira Akira (the pigtails one). The one most outstanding part of this manga (and anime) is that it eschews the traditional pathway of just pairing off the osananajimi (they were friends before, so obviously they secretly crush on each other) – and instead the story is dominated by a great feel of friendship, with two reunited friends helping each other through hard times. The art quality looks pretty good and I’ve got pretty high hopes for this one. It’ll be out next season.
Sasamekikoto
Sasamekikoto is one of my favourite yuri manga series of the moment which I believe is currently ongoing (Better check that) and being translated by Dynasty-Scans. It’s been announced that an anime adaptation will surface in due course, but the date is yet to be announced, so watch this (or other more reliable) spaces!
Sasamekikoto’s storyline centres around two girls – Ushio, who is an out and out lesbian who fancies every cute thing with a skirt and Sumire who isn’t but harbours a hopeless crush on Ushio. The central twist that ties this storyline together is that Sumire is a tall cool type (not unlike a bespectacled Sakaki-san from Azumanga) and just happens to be the only type of girl that Ushio is NOT interested in. Oh and they’re also childhood friends. Pretty stereotypical. Other characters come and are generally forgotten – Akemi is a girl who is actually a guy who cross-dresses as a model. Seen that one before. —-chan is a yuri doujinshi obsessed otaku who has a tiny crush on Sumire who she sees as a sister in arms. All are only mildly distracting side stories from the trials and tribulations of Sumire and Ushio’s everyday life in which one sided love is slowly starting to transform into something more wonderful. Hopefully the anime version of it won’t be as full of filler as the manga is but I think that’s probably too much to hope for.
And that’s the yuri prospects for now! If there’s any I’ve missed out then please chuck me a link in the comments below!
Why Pornography is evil – Aftermath post
Posted on | May 12, 2009 | 8 Comments
It’s good to see that my post generated at least a little stir amongst my readers, both regular and troll. As some of the points I made seem to have been taken the wrong way, I thought that I would post a little clarifier for the benefit of those who may have been offended by anything I wrote.
First of all, point 12 – it was meant as a little light hearted poke at partners flummoxed by their hubby’s insistence on trying love the Greek way. I am entirely aware that (1) Not all men are obsessed with anal sex and (2) Enjoyment of anal sex is not mandatory to maintaining a loving relationship. The point being that men – perverts as we are will have come across the idea, being pornswogglers or not (its in virtually every men’s magazine anyway) but I don’t know of many men who reject partners on this basis! (well, maybe the gay ones). Number one point to take home – Anal freaks should stick together. Me included ^^
Second, the point about women in pornography being exploited or not – I am fully aware that there is a shadier side of pornography where women are forced into doing acts which they would never dream of doing consensually – probably fuelled by drug cravings or debts paid to human traffickers and pimps. However, these posts were meant to highlight the good things about pornography and in a couple of points I separated out “bad” (illegal) porn from the rest. Some pornography is criminal and should be punished as such, but the women participating in the rest – to the best of my knowledge enjoy what they do and flaunting their femininity for all to see. If you think about it – aren’t the men who pay for DVDs of these women who are getting a good wage the ones being exploited? And willingly?
Alexeon: Good comeback! I appreciate the support!
Jaden: It is a sad but true fact that women are being abused in virtually every area of the workplace, though we(?) do live in a part of the world where people are striving to make this not the case and the British porn industry for one – although not as extensive as the American one is definitely one where both actors and actresses are respected. Also, many actresses go on to become directors and make films that are more to their way of thinking (though actually, they usually end up pretty much like the ones directed by men but with less gangbang.) And for the record, I do have some clothing made by Vietnamese peasants. I mean, if we didn’t buy it then they wouldn’t be able to feed their children – it all depends on which side of the moral double-edged sword you choose to fall upon…
Caitlin: Sorry if I offended you, I think I covered your point above. Thanks for naming some of the actresses as well, it was most informative. It’s always good to get womens’ opinions on this blog as I’ve always taken my readership as a primarily male base. I think I agree with your point that it is the more freaky types that fail to hold down relationships – not because they are incapable, of course. Perhaps there is a factor that freakiness comes with a greater sex drive and therefore a greater number of shallower relationships rather than the ordinary person just out searching for her bishonen prince on his stereotypical white horse. Oh, and Bella really pisses me off in Twilight. Bring on the Alice x Bella Vamprape fanfiction ^^
Anonymous: Yes I was. I guess it wasn’t as funny as I thought.
Akakori: Wow, that was quite a comment – you should write for my site! I think you’ve highlighted one of the points I made with your gay porn example – that being thought of as a sexual object in some contexts is empowering to one’s confidence (even if the advances are unwanted) – only if this being thought of as a sexual object doesn’t spill over into cornering and raping that individual against his or her will of course. As you said – this is due to the multiply-quoted separating line between pornography/fantasy and real life. Del-Monte Kami-sama gave us a reality chip in our frontal lobes for a reason so we might as well use it. It would probably be better for people to acknowledge pornography and the way women are treated in this world and start their crusade from there rather than try to eradicate this rather in-built and not entirely harmful way of thinking. I especially liked your point 9/10 – We should be campaigning to increase the quality of our porn! By next year I expect there will now be a burgeoning industry in 100% Free range, organic, Fairtraded and woodland reared pornography…
Thanks everyone for your comments…I always enjoy reading them – even the trolling ones!

Why Pornography is Evil – an (Un)Balanced View – Part 3
Posted on | May 7, 2009 | 12 Comments
Translation: “You weren’t very good!”
7. Pornography is a replacement for sexual desire towards a partner.
“He watches pornography so much there’s none left for me!”
I guess this could be a problem. Well, if he really loved you, then he would save enough for you!
8. Pornography leads to rape and paedophilia
The two arguments in this case are (1) People inclined to rape are given ideas by watching violent pornography and (2) Normal people become rapists/paedophiles by watching pornography.
To tackle (2) first, this is simply a case of cause and effect as in point (6). Normal people look at normal porn. Paedophiles look at child porn, Rapists look at non-consensual rape porn (the hentai angle is something completely different that I discussed during fetish month in January) To say that normal people become interested in rape by watching rape porn is to ignore the majority of the consumers who are already interested in it. To coin a phrase, it’s the inquisitive mind that seeks it out, but an interested one that comes back for a second helping.
(1) is more difficult to defend. It could be argued that rapists would have offended anyway, even without a push, but then again it is difficult to peer into their minds and say for certain that watching violent rape DVDs didn’t at least pique their interest in carrying out the deed for real. Perhaps we can settle the matter by concluding that violent rape and child pornography – pornography depicting a real life crime – is evil. But that this does not necessarily imply that all porn is evil by default.
9. Pornography exposes underage children to sex and leads to underage sex and pregnancy/STDs
This one again is difficult to defend. It is true that by exposing underage kids to sex (which is now extremely easily accessible) there is in interest and then accordingly a danger associated with this an poor sexual education in schools. However, it could also be argued that the interest is there and would be just as bad, even without the pornography or gratuitous nudity around. I mean, look at the places where teenage pregnancy and STDs really are a problem – in Sub Saharan Africa. I’m sure that pornography isn’t really a problem there, but the men are still just as horny and in disregard/ignorance for their own/their partner’s health.
I know that there are a lot of cultural differences and that things are a lot more complex but it’s an interesting parallel. Also, it could be noted that Western teenage girls are still just as horny and up for sex even though they (mostly) don’t partake of the dodgy DVDs. Or that could just be peer pressure…
Nevertheless, it cannot be argued that the desire to have lots of unsafe sex is always there in the teenage years whether an example is being set by the media or not.
10. Pornography depicts women as sexual objects and exploits them.
Well, first of all, pornstars aren’t being exploited, most of them are in it for the money and the fact that they love having sex and they get paid more than their male counterparts. Whether a few women flaunting themselves in front of the camera demeans the gender as a whole could be argued differently.
It is true that pornography (as well as every other advert/page 3/TV show using scantily clad women) depicts women as sexual objects. And it is also true that some women would prefer for their gender not to be thought of just as sexual objects. Therefore, pornography obviously does not help these women in their crusade to be noticed as independent, intelligent beings in their own rights.
However, those women who are less serious about life I’m sure would be happy to be thought of as sexual objects every once in a while. The indisputable fact that most men lose control of their bodily functions around even moderately attractive women can be a helpful advantage in the workplace.
And if you really wanted to fix this problem then you wouldn’t just have to get rid of all the porn in the world (though that would be a start), but you’d also have to fix all the men’s brains as well! And with that major personality overhaul in place, I’m sure the world would be both an equal yet infinitely more boring place to live.
11. Pornography is boring
Yes. Yes it is.
Does this make it evil?
No. No it doesn’t.
Sorry for gif. But appropriate, I think…
12. Pornography makes my boyfriend want to do weird things when I just want to have normal sex
No, that’s just men. There are two solutions to this problem. (1) Get more broad minded and try something new (2) Go through as many boyfriends as you need to find one that doesn’t want to do anything kinky. Then pray that he doesn’t leave you for someone else who shows him the light.
Also, while I’m here, why is it that men are obsessed with putting their ding-a-ling up their girlfriend’s pooper, even though they’re terrified of putting anything into their own man-gina? Surely that’s pretty hypocritical… Is it a power thing? Whoever puts their vein-cane up the other person’s mucky motorway wins? Or is it that if you let anyone invade your precious butt-space and there’s even a hint of enjoyment you’re suddenly transformed into one of those GAY MONSTERS?
Remember: The only way you can prove you’re NOT gay is to have sex with a guy and not get hard.
And that’s the moral of the story.
