From [livejournal.com profile] razorjak:

Women like yaoi porn for the same reason men like mainstream lesbian porn. Yaoi gives women a view of gay male sex that's more "palatable". In Yaoi there are "beautiful men" all spread out on a bed of roses, gracefully "taking each other".

... Whereas real male-on-male sex more resembles a couple of mange-stricken bears fighting each other over a discarded box of KFC.

It's an amusing image :)

Naturally, that's not what I think. I know P and L favour a discarded box of Chicken Cottage...

Yes. And it's much hotter than cartoon characters with self-lubricating anuses.

They don't need self-lubricating anuses; they've got _no genitals_.

Diva: we really must show you _Boku No Sucky-Sucky_.

Actually, the infamous corncob sequence strongly suggests lube is coming from somewhere. Point.

What a nasty sex negative comment. Real life sex looks nothing like movie, novel, slash, whatever sex, whether guy on guy, girl on girl, heterosexual or group, but it does not look horible either. This is one of the reasons I enjoy watching, because whatever the age, size etc of the people doing it, everyone looks godd when they are having good consensual sex. Still, maybe my sense of humour chip is faulty today.

Read it again to check the sense of humour thing. Nope - superficially clever word play does not excuse sneering at gay sex and women who find it erotic. No doubt I will soon be put right on this.

Nah, sex of whatever sort is insanely funny, and if you're not getting a few decent laughs out of it, <Peppa_Pig>you're doing it ALL WRONG!!</Peppa_Pig> ;-D

I do think sex is funny, but I think this comment is over the top. No big deal really though :)

*BWAHHHHHH!!* *deeply amused*

I'm with David on this one -- sex is an undignified and often funny thing, and laughing in bed (at yourself and each other) is both fun and essential . . . none of this means that sex can't be intense, transcendent, and sacred (as well as DAMN HOT) ;>

I don't see this as a sex-negative comment per se . . . just an acknowledgement that most yaoi bears little to no resemblance to actual gay sex. But I'm glad that people have found an erotic art form that pleases them, and I'm also glad that people have real sex that's nothing like the portrayals in yaoi, and that they sometimes have sex that could be scripted out of a comic book . . . what the hell, there's enough good sex to go around ^-^

Isn't all "mainstream" porn (gay, lesbian & straight) somewhat cartoonish? I mean, not everyone can have perfect bodies and screaming orgasms all the time.

Most of the time, the men and women in pornos tend to have model bodies, and that just isn't real life to me. Most of us have regular bodies and let's face it, (women especially) are not guaranteed an orgasm everytime. With men, I suppose, it's pretty much a sure bet. ;p

Well, I'm glad it's worked itself out for you! From my experience, I've always thought it was pretty much a guarantee for men, but for women it's not always so. We seem to be easily influenced by outside forces that sometimes prevent us from having an orgasm. For me, I know if I'm not completely comfortable with the person I'm with or if I'm thinking about something else, even though I'm enjoying myself and want it to happen, it doesn't always come (so to speak).

You're not alone in that. I've known one guy who couldn't come at all during sex. With me at least. Though now he has a son with his wife, so they must have worked something out...

Wow. This thread has just made me feel a whole lot better. I always had a tendency to take it personally if the guy didn't come... unless he was drunk.

I agree - it's somewhat cartoonish in itself. From what I've seen.

I've never really understood why big hair, fake breasts, and wearing high heels to bed are supposed to be more patable, though. Give me a traditional polyamorists pair of HBBs anyday.

I've just been listening to The Sailors, from Melbourne, with their charming songs like the one with the chorus about how they want to punch your arse with the fist of their cock. Thats an image thats going to take a while to expunge from the brain.
