I’m writing about the pictures I put up in this blog and how I choose them. I’ve already mentioned some of the principles I apply when I’m searching for and selecting pictures. For example, the picture should illustrate the story, it should suit the real woman the story is about, and it should avoid being too fake, in the cliched porn sense.
5 Decorativeness
Generally, although those principles come first, I also want the picture to look good. A few of the pictures I posted on this blog are there purely because I thought they’re sexy and beautiful. For example, this one: a girl in fluffy angel wings, wiggling her twat at the camera. She has a beautiful smile, too.
One thing running a picture like that can do is teach me humility. This is a writer’s blog. It’s got wordy word words all over it. Except for that post, where my text is only three words long. Have a look here.
The thing is, it’s still one of my most popular, most clicked-on posts ever. My contribution may be three fantastically well-chosen words, but I don’t think I can claim the credit for that post’s popularity. Take a bow, Miss Who-ever-you-are. Oh. You sort of already are.
And there’s this picture, that I ran in one of my earliest posts. It’s a very beautiful, very tender image, those breasts touching, softness melting into softness, with the sensitive nipples alerting and getting harder in the middle of it all.
Doesn’t it make you want to be there? I made up some excuse to run the picture, but the real reason was simply that I thought it was – awwwwwww! – lovely.
You can see a bigger version of the pic, and the context I invented so I could run it, here.
6 Generosity
This blog has run pictures of naked guys, a nun whipping herself and a mermaid being – improbably when you think about it – fucked up the ass. I’m not sexually interested in guys, nuns or mermaids, but I assume that some of you are, out there. There’s no reason always to restrict myself to images that I respond to.
So here, in that ecumenical, reach-out spirit, we have a pic of a hentai furry cat-girl and some human guy getting it on.
It’s kind of pretty, but it’s not really my thing. But on the other hand: a warm welcome to furry fans everywhere, and I hope you stick with the blog!
Maybe that’s enough about pictures for a while.
Hey, I totally read your blog for the articles. No really – I’m here for the words, and I’ve read them all. And those specific three words? Les mots justes.
My experience is vaguely similar to yours. For what it’s worth, my most popular posts are pictures too. It happens that I’ve taken all the photos on my blog and, with a couple of (obvious) exceptions, they’re all of me. And I tend to keep the writing and the photos separate. Writing isn’t easy – even the posts that seem to flow take time and effort. And yet tits = hits. (The same is probably true of twats, but I don’t have any data on that.) While it’s nice to have that positive feedback, it’s inherently superficial, and it would be nice if the writing got more attention.
Well, I’m one of those shallow admirers of your tits. And an admirer of your ass, when you present the … chance.
I also like reading your thoughts and shared experiences. Thoughtful, interesting and erotic. I’m pretty sure I’ve commented on your writing before, as well saying the equivalent of ‘nice tits’. So I’m only half shallow, maybe.
By the way, I’m not suggesting you change your twat-flashing policy, but my own observation is that _twats are popular on the internet_.
If tits = hits, then twats = lots.
You have left kind comments about my T, and also A, for which I thank you. If I were more concerned about maintaining a strictly intellectual tone, I suppose I could turn off likes and comments for the photo posts – or, you know, not post photos – but I’m too shallow to make that change.
I’m pleased to hear that you enjoy the writing too, as you hadn’t previously commented to that effect. So, thank you again 🙂
And I shall take your twat-flashing advice under advisement 😉
You’re right, it seems. I could have sworn I’d commented on something more deep and wordy than your rather beautiful body. (Not that there’s anything shallow about complimenting your body, as any fule know.)
This shall not stand (as the actress said to the bishop)! I’ll add a comment on a wordy post shortly.
