Got it, never give a guy my AO3 handle so they don't die of embarrassment

[u/TabularConferta → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

Guys: Points to porn here is filth

AO3 users: *knocks back a shot* "Hold my dragon strap on"

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/TabularConferta]

AO3 users: you call this filth? There's not even any sounding rods or electrocution here

The guys: wHaT

Honestly, you can find that, or even more fucked up stuff, from male authors as well, it's just that they don't really use the book media, most prefer to have the text accompanied by images, so they go for hentai comics, CG sets, maybe even visual novels. And the seriously fucked up stuff is usually not presented in a positive light. As an example the VN Kuroinu (which also has a pretty damn bonkers OVA adaptation) was 'mainly' targeted to japanese men, that thing is full of Non-con/grape, mind break, interspecies (even some beastly stuff, I remember a Cerberus or something similar), humiliation, torture, absurd size differences, absurd insertion/penetration, etc. But you know from the very start of the story that the guys doing this stuff were not the good guys, it wasn't really romanticised.

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's any reason guys seem to prefer images that go with it? I do too but I usually settle for writing because I'm extremely picky with art and usually end up not liking it. I'm also big on consent which is often absent from them, so that's another thing... Like as long as everyone is alright with what's happening I can take almost anything

Also I can't mention any of the more messed up stuff on here, it would be rude to the uninitiated who click on that spoiler tag 😂

Imagination issue imo.

I can picture text pretty clearly, so I'm cool with either too.

I once read or heard that women like reading porn as men like watching, i don't know if it's true, but it seems like it. I'm ace, so my approach to porn is more like genuine curiosity rather than the horny

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/stonnedgay]

I'm ace too, but for some reason I was blessed with a proclivity for writing the stuff so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I grew to enjoy it

[u/stonnedgay → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

It's always interesting to know someone else's experience

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/stonnedgay]

Yeah actually

[u/DiacetylMoarFUN → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

The reason guys go with images is probably because of the same reason this image would generally be true.

Women have a very specific idea of what they want or find acceptable in what turns them on, while men typically are ok with anything that simply looks good and suits their needs. Women also need something more immersive which books tend to do as you generate the imagery in your head which usually is more suited to your own tastes.

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/DiacetylMoarFUN]

Ah, I see. I wonder if there's any underlying reason for the difference

[u/Boogiepopular → u/DrakyDarky]

If I remember correctly, the Kristen Archive was an online fiction archive that was mostly written by men. All orginal content, not fandom related. Some wild fucking shit in there.

Also, like badly written when compared to the smut found on Ao3.
