If you want to post something I will give you my thoughts on it.

>>64480
wow that was fast, thanks. i actually just started writing it today at around noon so it's not really postable yet, i was just checking this thread.

on the topic though, do you have any thoughts or opinions on erotica? i'm already versed in the general wisdom of "don't write awkward sex scenes, don't refer to body parts clinically," etc. ive never written it like for real for real before (hence officially) but ive sexted and know some things to avoid. i dont have any real point to this, i was just horny and i need more writing practice and the idea came to me

for reference i'm the anon that posted

To be honest, I haven’t read any erotica outside of fanfiction. I can tell you as a general reader how it sounds though.

>>64499
That’s fine. I’m really less interested in general writing advice, more just polling the anon crowd for “what would you prefer to see here in this scene, is this unrealistic / a turn-off / not sexy enough, is this coming on too strong” that sort of thing. E.g. if scene XYZ needs to transition from A to B, and I can choose to make XYZ a masturbation / straight sex / lesbian / femdom scene without much changing in B— which one works best overall for keeping the reader interested / titillated while maintaining minimal corniness or coomerness. And I’m writing this for no one in particular, I’m just interested in giving my hand a shot at the genre since I want to try it and see if it sharpens other writing skills in the meantime

Okay, so as a non-reader of erotica, what do fans of the genre generally prefer to see? Detailed character development? Intricate personal drama? And as far as smut goes, what categories trend the best with readers (eg boy-girl, gay / yaoi, lesbian, variants of bdsm)? Any categories to avoid?

Mental cases don't deserve a response.

There are inherent risks with hormone blockers and other treaments for transgender individuals. Medicine is not an all powerful science. By default, treatments need to be weighed with their risks vs rewards. The majority of people will not grow up to be trans, and thus have nothing to gain and everything to lose. To meddle with natural human development without good medical grounds to do so is inherently unethical to all modern medicine. Bar circumsion for men in the US.

Furthermore, hormone blockers can be inherently damaging to trans individuals anyway. For example, in MtFs, hormone blockers stunt penis growth. When they get old enough for surgery, their penis isn't large enough to make anything more than a vary shallow "vagina" if you can call it that.

Puberty blockers are not side effect free.

This paper in particular notes a decrease in IQ in puberty blocked patient.

There is only one response, and it's the same response to the entirety of the alternative gender questions. The answer is that it frankly doesn't matter if these people exist because there is just no practical room for them to do so. We've a hard enough time maintaining the balance between men and women, let alone a third or more options.

ahh his walls look really nice and comforting, guys with plump asses always give me the deepest surge of penis envy

Just take steroids.

Many of the lesbians I've known were outright misandrists, myself included. I also can't stand seeing faggot shit in media, but I like seeing lesbian stuff.

>>63292
You're not mentally ill like many of the closet trannies in the thread.

yesss smoked/cured fish is GOAT, i'll take it over any other meat

Yeah.
I have a strong preference for chicken

Honestly cooking steak is really hard. I almost always fuck it up no matter how many stupid videos I watch (fuck you gordon ramsay) and just wind up frustrated. I do love beef as an ingredient, it is very fun to cut into slivers and fry, braise, etc. but just cooking a steak straight up? That shits hard and I'm too cheap to go to a restaurant so I rarely eat just steak. Like >>63344 said I really only enjoy it when it's in a dish. On the plus side the rare occasions when I do fuck up cooking a steak "mid-rare" leaves me with a head start on steak and eggs or whatever else because i can only stomach a few bites of that shit.

>>63244
I can only eat steak if I’m at a fancy steakhouse or if it’s cut up in fajitas or something. I grew up eating it super well done and I used to hate how much my jaw would hurt just swallowing one piece so that’s prob why I don’t like it anymore

>>64327
>Honestly cooking steak is really hard.
Buy and learn to use a steak thermometer. Then it's super easy.

I stopped going to /blog/ but it would be nice to have more weeb traffic in the media board.

Just discovered this place after it was mentioned on /r9k/ and it seems comfy here

>What I aimed for was to give women an imageboard experience without being talked over and invalidated by men, without porn spam and misogyny threads.
I like this vision, but it's difficult to apply in practice.
Advertising a board as "for women" attracts gender-based discussion more than anything else, see the front pages of /b/ and /feels/. /media/ is very slow and a complete hodgepodge of stuff. It isn't much of an upgrade from the regular chan experience. Especially when decent threads like /blog/ exist on other chans.
The on-topic discussion of outside interests is the aspect of the imageboard experience that's missing here, to me at least. I drop by here sometimes, but there isn't enough non-gender discussion to visit regularly.

>>60152
This is how you get inundated with trannies, lol.

>>64348
There was a poll on /r9k/ like three years ago now that showed nearly half of all posters there were "18 or younger". Not a place you want to be posting on. Honestly, I have a hard time imagining why girls would rather post here than say on tumblr which is generally accepted to be a more female space, and if nothing else is already a largely established space.

>>64356
>which is generally accepted to be a more female space
Than normal, that is.

the article is in french, here's an auto-translation because i refuse to share the link and give this absolute joke of a wannabe online journalist views:

———-

On Wednesday, 21 March, Marlene Schiappa, State Secretary for Gender Equality, presented a bill to combat " sexual and gender-based" violence in the Council of Ministers. The text provides for the broadening of the definition of online harassment to promote the fight against mass harassment campaigns on the Internet. Among the trolls, this initiative was greeted with suspicion: " I will continue to insult [sic] that I want", boasts a user in a thread devoted to the bill on jeuxvideo.com. Another spear: " The Ministry of Women" next to a smiley covered with vomit.

The trolls never liked being prevented from pursuing their current target. Thomas administers one of the largest forums of the French web, he agreed to testify provided that we do not reveal the name of his employer. He explains: " Today, the guys give their all on Balance your pig, Me too … Because these are the hot topics. There have been times when it was very racist, especially during the debate on immigration under Sarkozy, times when it was transphobia that caused concern, right now it is rather misogyny. "

All of the most recent cyber-harassment cases in recent years have been fueled by women's contempt: Amanda Todd, Gamergate, Leslie Jones, the anti-reousing number … Abusers often came from forums renowned for their culture and history. sexist. 4chan, the site that invented "Tits or GTFO" , is attended by about 70% of men . By force, it seems normal to believe that cyber-stalkers are systematically men sitting in briefs in front of their computer, "sad, alone and misogynist" or "sexually aggressive" . This is obviously not the case.

During a phone interview with M/////B///// , former pornographic actress Nikita Bellucci told us that trolling, finally, has no gender: " When I was attacked on social networks, even if 90% of Stalkers were guys, I saw some very virulent tweets that had been written by women. It was as violent as with a man. " The violence is also reflected in the harassment campaigns carried by" female forum "on topics perceived stereotypically feminine.

I eventually responded, but it was clear that c.c was not what he was looking for and so I directed him to the other sites, which he apparently hadn't heard of by then and contacted shortly before his deadline, or so I've heard. All-around lovely experience.
