Fetish #27: the Women of Hentai

Where you ever the kind of young adolescent who in his or her fantasies had a certain... ahem... dare I admit it? Sexual attraction to a cartoon character? Yeah, well, that was me. In fact, still is me. Thinking back on it, I believe everything started with a cartoon that appeared on American TV in the 1970s. It's name: Josie and the Pussy Cats. The animation quality and story lines were crap. So much so, that I look back on it now as a middle aged adult and feel utter embrassment. But at the time, the catsuits... oh, the catsuits. *g*

Well, I never quite outgrew my appreciation for cartoons as a source of kinky fantasy. And the eroticism of Japanese hentai comics and animation is far more imagininative, explicit and rife with fetishes than those tame Pussy Cats. 

Anyhow, I wanted to recommend a three Flash computer games for people who enjoy getting their kicks from hentai. Each of them allow you to develop hentai sex slaves. 

My favorite game is Slave Maker 3. The development blog is here. The game concept is that your are a professional slave trainer in the kingdom of Mioya. Your job is to convert an untrained slave into a willing and skilled sex slave. A great plus is that you're likely to see great pictures of some favorite characters from Japanese anime being enslaved and trained to be specialized courtesans. Train them to be a cumslut, catgirl, dickgirl, fighter, ponygirl, or high class courtesan. Or maybe convert them to be a lesbian. Pay attention to your finances, buy and sell equipment. Carouse with furries and fairies. Avoid being raped by sexually voracious tentacle monsters. The choice is yours and there are tradeoffs you need to balance. Most slaves also have distinct goals and side quests. This makes gameplay fun, fresh and arousing.  

I also have fun with a game called SimBrothel. A development board is here and it seems new versions might be released soon. This game tries to simulate running a Japanese brothel. The goal is to upgrade your housing, keep your women healthy and increase their prestige and skills. However, there isn't much variation in how you train your women. You can buy characters from well known anime series - which is fun, but the eroticism of the game play isn't particularly high since the focus is on buying and selling. There really aren't many fetish elements to this game.

My final recommendation is for Otherworld, which you can download from the development blog, here. This is set in a science fiction fantasy realm set at the edge of a transdimensional pit. In a way it's a cross between SimBrothel and Slave Maker 3. It can feel as if you are running a brothel, but like Slave Maker, the real point is to train up the individual skills of your slaves and explore your world. There are some new fetishes that are not present in any other game. (Personally, I enjoy the possibility of dehuminizing my slavegirls, training them to be cows and then selling their milk for profit). Plus, there are a series of side quests that win you bonuses and equipment. It's a tough game and many elements aren't complete, but I like a challenge.

Opinion: Writing Erotica

As somebody with pretentions of being a decent writer, I find writing erotic stories to be extremely difficult. I had a friend who wrote erotic short stories. She spent time on them and tried to elevate them to a level above the Penthouse Forum variety of story telling which is pretty much a step by step description of what each body part is doing, to whom, and in what sequence. When she asked me to write a story to show her some day, I was dumbfounded at how difficult it was. Forgive the purient double entendre, but I think producing an erotic short story has to be the single hardest style of writing out there. (Heh-heh: he said "hard.")

After all, what turns a person on is deeply personal and usually not universal. One person's sexy fetish is an outright turn-off for others. Even worse are the language pitfalls. In order to produce sophisticated erotica a writer might be tempted to use euphamisms like "throbing member" and the like, but to my mind this comes off as cheesy and not sexy.

On the other hand, the very artlessness of some sex slang which can be a turn on for some, is deeply offensive to others. An example might be "cunt".And as an aside, I really wish this word could be rehabilitated for at least common bedroom use. Personally I don't think there's any other slang for the vagina that pairs off as well with "cock". The other alternative (pussy, box, snatch, quim, minge, etc.) all lack a certain edge and seriousness of tone. And ironically enough, cunt isn't even slang. It's actually a proper word that comes to us from the Old English spoken during the Dark Ages.

Nevertheless, in spite of my fears, I did finally manage to write a couple of erotic stories. What got me over writer's block and fear of failure was a technique of treating an erotic story like an improv performance. You know how the comic on stage asks for a place, profession and object and builds a skit around it? Well, I've tried to do something similar. It actually helps me to write a story if I have one person in mind. Anything I write I try to tailor to what I know about that one person's turn-ons and fetishes.

Does it result in high quality erotic writing? Well, I can't say if it does. But at least I'm writing and my targeted audience of one can at least appreciate the effort. And how does the cliche go? "If you manage to touch one person, then it's all worthwhile." (Heh-heh: he said...)

Review: 3D Sexvilla 2

Okay, this counts as a definite guilty pleasure: 3D computer animated sex simulations. But I have to admit, however, that I rather enjoyed messing about with the game produced by ThriXXX called "3D Sexvilla 2". The game dynamics are pretty straight forward. Pick a location and select two to three characters you want to engage in sex. Select poses and sex toys, use your mouse to stroke erogenous zones and vary the rate of penetration. You can even use whips and paddles to raise welts and bruises on a pliant sub. The goal of course is to make your character get so excited that they finally cum. And cum again. ;-)



So far, so straightforward. So what makes the game fun? For me, it was the customizable features. I liked being able to design and customize sexual dream girls. Choose hair styles, sizes and change facial features. Choose different outfits and even choose what body parts to cum on. But best of all, there's even a feature that essentially allows you to design and edit your own sex video. Pick camera angles and the sequence of poses and conversation. It's creative and arousing all at the same time.

Personally, I liked playing in the fetish clubs the best. I enjoyed creating Goth godesses and latex slaves to play with. In fact the females were so much fun to customize, I usually ended up simulating girl-on-girl encounters. Helpfully, strap-on dildoes can spew sperm in this game. Not exactly realistic, but helpful if you have a bukkake fantasy.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the game can't simply be downloaded. You had to maintain a rather expensive monthly membership to keep the software working - so ultimately this is something I discontinued playing. Nevertheless, I give the game high marks. The graphics and sound effects are good and the various poses are inventive - although I kept thinking of new poses, clothing items and sex toys that I wish could be created. So how do I rate this game? Sexiness: 3 out of 5. Quality of Graphics: 4 out of 5. Creative fun: 5 out of 5.

Opinion: Black & White Porn

Maybe I'm just going through a phase, but I've taken to preferring my erotic imagery in black and white. There's something classic and sophisticated about the formalism of gray scale pictures. I had a friend who told me that she preferred the look of vintage photography. I can see her point. Women looked more "real" in the erotic photographs of the 1950s and older. But I'm not going to count myself an antiquarian like her. These old pics, even from my favorite style period of the 1920s and 1930s don't include my personal fetish touch stones of high heels and I still prefer modern undergarments.

I found a couple of good erotic photographers who produce excellent black and white photos. Chuck Stevens is one, but my favorite has to be Craig Morey. A few favorite images are included below. I have to admit that I respond to these particular images on two levels. The woman are sexy and beautiful on their own terms. The ropework and submissive body positions are undeniably arousing. But all these poses and compositions also stimulate in me memeories of past erotic situations I have experienced. Everyone should be so lucky.
This photo reminds me of a time a tied Simone with her arms over her head in a door frame. I was pretty happy with the results of my personal photo shoot I recall.

Amoung the things I like about the above picture are the fetish elements of the boots, thigh highs and the yanking of the dog collar.I like the exotic beauty of this model. The enchanting complexity of the Japanese-style bondage rope is well displayed. Notice the knot in the rope running between her legs? I like this techniques of placing a thing knot at the anus or clit to stimulate a sense of vulnerability and even discomfort in a sub.Classic heels, thigh-highs and corset. My absolute favorite lingerie combination. This pose fills me with pure lust as I think back to lingerie shopping in Paris. This picture pretty much touches on every fetish I appreciate most: slender long legs, great ass, thigh high stockings and sexy heels. Imagining dripping my hot cum on this back and ass: priceless.

Opinion: The Sexiness of Shaving

I feel like advocating the shaving cocks and pussies today. I shave my own penis, scrotum and belly. There's just a square of close cut pubic hair at the base of my penis. I do it for aesthetic reasons, since I think tidy body hair grooming looks nicer. And I think it "bares" saying (heh, heh) that a person who spends time grooming their pubic hair just seems more sexually sophisticated - and by extention, more desirable. That's my opinion anyway.

But there are plenty of good practical reasons to shave. I recommend it because the extra sensitivity of naked skin makes penetration sex feel better. There's nothing like the delicious wet tingle of a shaved cock and cunt grinding against each other. Moreover, as my lovely sub Simone once put it: "oral sex is so much more enjoyable when you're not picking pubic hairs out of your teeth." And personally, when I find a woman who has given herself a full Brazilian shave or wax it just makes me want to dive in and never some up for air. So I definitely count myself as lucky since Simone has the Brazilian look and I think it makes her cunt look both sleek and vulnerable.

Of course it bares saying that shaving is a real commitment. Stubbly skin is painful to brush against with lips or tongue, so you need to regularly shave with a sharp razor. I've been able to shave without causing myself any ingrown hairs, but Simone was not so lucky. After dealing with ingrown hairs for years, from both waxing and razors, Simone finally resorted to using laser hair removal. It's been a success, I can say. And ultimately it has caused her skin a lot less irratation.

But even with this talk of full Brazilians as my preference, I can still appreciate a groomed pussy that still leaves a patch of pubic hair on the venus mons. A nice rectangular "landing strip" or triangular "fan" can be very nice. Before Simone started using laser hair removal, I remember enjoying the sensation brushing fingers through her soft pubic patch while hearing her purr. But since I appreciate a zen-like simplicity in my aesthetics, I can also appreciate the sleek pencil thin style of pubic hair patch.

Hey, while we're on the subject of grooming shapes, it bears mentioning that I rather appreciate the exotic possibilities that come from shaving a woman's pubic hair into unusual designs. Anyone out there ever groomed their own pubic hair into an unusual shape? I only just discovered this website where you can buy stencils to help you shave hearts, spades, butterflies, and more. I feel so behind the times! Check out this website and note it also has good advice on shaving techniques.

It all makes me think that I would love to play a scene where as a Dom I would tie down my sub and use a stencil to shave her pubic hair into a sexy shape as a way to mark her as my own.
