I will admit to a minor man-crush on kratos.

Lets put it this way, I've never been aroused by fantasies about men.

Waltz for Luma I thought The Kite Runner was amazing. It's actually set in my hometown, too. :] I've always pondered the connection between sex and violence. Look at every Hollywood horror flick: attractive female heroine, obligatory shower or bikini scene + blood and gore. Any war documentary that addresses militarism & fetishism will tell you gruesome rape stories, as well... I can't believe that soldiers can find it within themselves to be that cruel when they're busy killing. My guess is, when you want to hurt someone, raping is violating them and degrading them to their lowest, most humiliated and vulnerable form while taking everything you can from them. Domination, in every sense. But....*****! gonk I did laugh at some parts. Especially after he was in the hospital thinking that he gave a good fight to (the bad guy. I forget his name!) Then later he says, "I don't think I gave him a good fight. How could I? I've never fought in my life." Something like that. XD But it was rather depressing. -- And I think it also correlates with humans thinking that the one they are hurting is less than human.

***** is the same kind of power trip story as rape, but even more of a power thing because not only is it easy to overpower a kid physically, there's trust and authority issues inherent in child-adult relationships. i just typed out a big ol' dissertation refuting ***** as a legitimate sexual preference (like, instead of preferring men, or women, or redheads, or midgets, you prefer children) and instead categorizing it as a kink, and going into all sorts of depth on root causes and personal responsibility, but that isn't really what we are talking about here, so i deleted it.
if we're talking about rape, though (are we?), there's an interesting discussion going on at another board i read about this woman who posted some blog entry about a shitty relationship she'd had. her boyfriend at the time withheld affection, particularly physical affection. if she ever tried to initiate sex, he'd pull away - i don't remember if there was anything scary or shouty going on, but she definitely wasn't getting any and she was feeling pretty bad. then one night, she's asleep and wakes up to find him rubbing up against her. she's too groggy to do anything about it, and he starts having sex with her. she isn't in the mood, but she's thinking "i'd better take what i can get" so she doesn't protest. he does his thing and rolls back over and goes to sleep. she goes off to the living room and cries her eyes out. there is a great deal of discussion on whether this is rape.

I am so bloody hungry. It doesn't matter what I eat, I'm still hungry. Granted, we don't have that great of a selection right now. Hmm... pizza. I wonder if they could get it here before it was cold? Probably not. ******** drivers with no sense of direction. I don't want to go back out.

I haven't studied it and can't offer a well-informed opinion, but I have similar thoughts on *****. It's played up to be a very unnatural and revolting thing nowadays... I think I've taken enough history classes to understand that each era, we blow up and criminalize a new thing. And I think that ***** is the big no-no of today. I want to read your dissertation. D: As for the rape story... that's interesting. I don't know what to think, either. My first thought is, "No, that's not rape, just a horny boyfriend." But it's tough to judge.

ah, the big dissertation was more of a multi-paragraph post... not a real dissertation, heh. but anyway the gist was that while some people get off on control issues during sex, or S&M stuff, or rape fantasies, i only start caring when people who are not consenting to these acts get involved. like, say you've got a rape fantasy and you get something out of being grabbed and "forced" to have sex. if you and your partner are both cool with acting out that scene, go nuts - but if your rape fantasy involves having sex with someone who doesn't know and agree to the idea that it might happen at some time, like a stranger, or a person not involved in your relationship, then it's real rape, not fantasy-sex rape. likewise *****. if you're sitting there thinking that kids get you hot, that creeps me out, not gonna lie, but it's not up to me to police your thoughts. as soon as actual children get involved, though, then i start caring, because i don't believe that kids are old enough to give consent for sexual acts. if we're talking about teenagers, the line gets blurrier, but for sure, for sure pre-pubescent kids are too young to know what this is about, and even their bodies are not ready for it, never mind their minds.
and of course a ***** who just stays home and whacks it to kiddie porn is as bad as the one who goes out and actually molests a kid. the kids in the porn are real, after all, and it's the demand for such images that keeps the industry in business. so when i talk about a ped sitting at home and having sexual thoughts about children, i'm not meaning in the context of looking at porn. that crosses the line into "actual children getting involved," even if this specific ***** is not getting physically involved with them.
also, that these kinks can probably be traced to one thing or another in the person's history or psyche, and, you know, fine - if someone has daddy issues and wants to be spanked and call her boyfriend daddy, i don't care. and if you're a ***** because you were abused as a kid, i don't care in the same way - the point is not how you acquired this kink, it is how, or indeed whether, you act on it.
i guess the reason i'm defining it as a kink and not as a sexuality is that i believe that sexualities (straight, gay, etc) are inborn, and kinks are acquired. this might just be a labeling issue. i haven't spent a lot of time working that part out yet.

I often wonder. "Youth" is something that a lot of people find attractive. Big, round eyes; smooth skin; shaven down under; all things characteristic of a prepubescent child or baby. Is it possible that someone might just get off on kids for their physical characteristics?
It does get a little blurrier around teens, because teens actually have sexual desires. The difference is their sense of judgement as they begin to embrace their sexuality. Truth be told, I often feel sorry for "*****" - at least, ones who have the fantasies about teenagers, as long as they don't act against the law. There are so many things that encourage them to find that kind of youth attractive. Hollywood and anime, to name two.
Then again, perhaps I've just been on the internet too long... Here on Gaia, legal adults like all of us in the UFG interact with kids on a daily basis, and I'm sure many of us have crossed the line or had the line crossed with us when we were younger, at some point. I personally have chatted with guys 18+ when I was like 12, and after talking about video games we might have flirted a bit, but I never found it weird. (Then again, sex never entered the conversations.)

What a small ******** world. One of my class mates in ASL lives just down the road from me. Even went to school with her in middle school, only it was just in passing. But it's awesome though. cool
Sign language is getting easier, but I still suck at spelling and reading FS, I know the letters but making out the words or names are difficult. crying
Edit: Sorry for peaking into your profile Aivi but seeing your thinking window on my announcements page I just had to say something. sweatdrop

I don't mind people looking at my Facebook... I do mind presumptuous comments and people acting like they know me just because they see something on Facebook. My life is not the internet and some people can't distinguish that a profile is a form of self-expression. What makes anyone think they can get to know a person through lists they've made of their favorite books and movies? I also despise comments on my Facebook photos, because half the time they're remarks that make me wonder, "Why? Why did you feel the need to say that? What are you hoping to achieve? You choose to permanently fix those words where I can read them everyday because...?"
My take on Facebook is basically, look all you want, but don't touch me.
And to be completely honest, I started using Limited Profile.
So go ahead world, give it your best shot.
