For her, it's not an exhibitionist thing. It's that she doesn't feel there are enough accurate, human, loving portrayals of trans people--especially in erotica. There are probably more now than there were a few years ago, but she's happy to play her part. Except she refuses to actually WRITE anything. I have to do all the hard work.

That's partly due to the fact that he's totally uninterested in BDSM, partly a consequence of the fact that he's possibly too nice a guy to be an interesting character. That sounds awful, I know, but fiction needs conflict, and our relationship is too smooth to drive a story.<br /><br />Anyway, I think he'd rather have it this way. He's very worried about our privacy.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-21415450278583300562013-09-07T10:12:38.272-04:002013-09-07T10:12:38.272-04:00Couldn't help think of Ken Russell's treat...Couldn't help think of Ken Russell's treatment of the Salome myth, back in the 70's, I think it was. Russell was always an over-the -top filmmaker, but that one was pretty cool. And yes, we may shape characters by our experiences, but I don't know If I'd want to be very close to many of my characters. Like Groucho Marx said: "I wouldn't be a member of any club that would have me." Or something to that effect.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-88555099508808961992013-09-06T07:11:23.979-04:002013-09-06T07:11:23.979-04:00agreed about the composites. this is the crux of t...agreed about the composites. this is the crux of the post i'm writing for this topic too. & i am thrilled that you mentioned Jian Ghomeshi. love the CanCon ;)Amanda Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059621442042833693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-83803118020418935162013-09-05T21:36:15.145-04:002013-09-05T21:36:15.145-04:00Me too.

I sure wish I was getting as much creative and vigorous sex as my characters are! But then, I guess that getting older one has to accept limitations, and certainly working multiple jobs doesn't leave a whole lot of time/energy for other endeavors. Perhaps this is what's known as sublimation? The psyche figures out how to get what it wants, no matter how it gets delivered? So we "live" in our imaginations, experiencing bliss that few ever actually find?<br />Interesting to consider.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.com
