Shades Of A 078
Fun times drawing boobs at “rest”. Gravity does interesting things to bodies, I like to emphasise realism over society acceptable prettiness.
In super fucking amazing news, the Khaos side stories begin updating TOMORROW. Come check out the livestream at 9am GMT for me drawing the first Mark and Steve page.
Are there people that don’t like to hug and cuddle after sex? Genuine question. =)
Sometimes my skin can be hypersensitive after if it’s been really vigorous sex, so I might need a bit for things to calm down enough for cuddling.
I like sex but I hate all kinds of hugging and cuddling, I am both a very wild sleeper and I generate loads of heat by myself, so cuddling ruins my sleep and makes me claustrophobic.
I’m not asexual, I’m more a-romantic and have a reluctance for prolonged contact.
Understandable about the generating body heat thing. I sleep with my fiance when he gets off work, normally I run cold. As in colder than a normal person, tempature wise, it messes up thermometeres. It’s hilarous, but my fiance runs hot, and there’s tiems if he isn’t feeling well, he makes me sweat, and it puddles and I have to move to the other side of the bed, which isn’t hard because our bed is huge, but still. I kick and slap and do shit like that in my sleep to, so I understand than the wild side of sleeping as well.
Then again, I can’t get a decent nights sleep without someine at least laying next to me due to my horrible dreams that I end up having that will keep me up all night after waking up from one. It sucks. And I don’t think I could give up being held by my fiance either, I like feeling safe and I love cuddles, ‘specially when the cuddles come from a space heater of a man and I’m shivering my ass off because I’m cold. We normally keep each other at a normal body temperature in bed, unless he is sick, then we kinda just stay on our sides of the bed because he’ll make me over-heat. xD
But totally understandable, if I thought that my wild sleeping bothered him I wouldn’t let him cuddle and hold me, nor would I cuddle and hold him in our sleep. To each his own, I guess. :3
And JD is fucking gorgous in this page, not the normal society veiw of it, but still, in their own way, they are. And sassy to boot. <3 Ugh. I wanna be like them, so comfortable in their own skin and doesn't sweat on it, or so it seems if someone doesn't like them. As least, that's how I interpert JD. xD
Oh, and happy Halloween everyone!! ((Forgot this in pervious post.))
My boyfriend usually gets really hot after sex and doesn’t like to cuddle because it makes him even warmer. ):
I’m specific on the partner. If the partner is female and squishy, I prefer cuddles afterward, but if the partner is muscular or bony or otherwise solid (has included nearly all my male partners), cuddling to sleep doesn’t work for me.
Huh, learned a little something today about hugging preferences. Cool. =3
Depends on the situation – I rarely go to sleep straight after sex, so most of the time me and my boyfriend get out of bed and get on with the day, and there’s the fact that we might both be sweaty and gross, so showering is required. Thinking about it, we rarely cuddle after sex, I’m usually like “Thanks for the orgasm! Shall we go get dinner now?”
I usually do 5 minutes of cuddles, then “okay, we’re sweaty, shower time.” After showering, we go back to whatever we were doing before banging. We don’t really have sex before sleep. When sleeping together, I’m freezing and he’s a human heater, so I attach myself to his back for the warmth. I cuddle into him, he never cuddles into me. Then I’m a tosser, so I don’t stay cuddled. I’m all over the place and apparently constantly slamming my freezing feet into his legs seeking warmth. Then if it’s a cold night, I randomly glomp him in my sleep moaning, “WARRRRRMMMM!” It’s a wonder we’re still sharing a bed.
Loving the squooshy boobs! :) And another look at ‘War’s cuddle fetish.
Aww. I like that they do kinda have open communication. And JDs so sassy love them!
That’s not really open communication though, it was more Anwar getting lucky this time. JD has no clue at this point that Anwar isn’t hoping for them to reciprocate and that the cuddling isn’t so much for their benefit. I’m betting lack of communication is what killed the relationship down the road.
Yeah, I have to agree with this. Back at the point that JD and Anwar were at a club getting drunk, JD did say to him something like how Anwar broke up with them “out of a deluded sense of self-sacrifice,” to which Anwar responded in a kind of surprised way. It seems to me that Anwar wasn’t very good at communicating his preferences or concerns.
I said KINDA with reason. Majority of people don’t ask about cuddling and it made me pretty content, however everywhere else was pretty lacking… to say the least.
Ah, sorry, I was mostly just adding onto Biev’s comment about their communication problems dooming the relationship. Wasn’t really paying attention to what you had said when I replied to them. But yeah, asking for cuddles is cute.
It is. And JD is awesome.
I love the last panel; it is so beautiful! They are so cute together~ And of course, Anwar’s cuddle fetish x) And JD’s line about there being a lot of them to cuddle is just perfect~
Yey, hugs! Sounds great to me.
And… just to give myself a SQUEEE! Khaos Updates! *joygasm*
I love Anwars face in the last pannel, all happy and snuggling <3
I do love to snuggle after sex, but sometimes I want my space partially because my boyfriend is a little too touchy after when i'm feeling overly sensitive and because i'm so hot that I want a little space to cool down.
Kinda put off by the lack of reciprocation, even if it wasn’t wanted.
Yeah that kind of bugged me too at first, but I think it was written this way so that Anwar didn’t have to explain his lack of interest and he got to ask for cuddles. If JD was all game for reciprocity then it might’ve led to a conversation that Anwar is probably avoiding right now. JD seems like they’d be a pretty giving person to me, so I wouldn’t think into this too much.
Yeah, me too. I understand that it’s probably written that way to have Anwar not have to explain everything (or not, I’m usually wrong anyway) – but even an offer would have been good. If you knew you had to be up early and wouldn’t get time to go both partners, why not say it, you know, before stuff revved? :c But that might be just me.
Also quite possibly, JD had offered previously (when we weren’t watching) and Anwar kept putting it off; possibly JD just thought he felt really into giving that night and was apologising like as a courtesy. I’m sure if Anwar seemed like he wanted to, JD would be right on it, no matter how tired they were.
That and, well, with Anwar’s face expression after sex, in the last page, it could had been a bit hard for JD to take, couldn’t it ? I mean, the guy is clearly not enjoying it, and kinda bored… (at least he really seems to be). So I know in this kind of situation I react the same… I turn around and well, try to forget that my boyfriend only did that for me and not for him…
No matter how many kind people take the time to explain the British school system to me, I always forget it’s different! Argh!
It’s cute, and kind of funny that after having his mouth all up in her privates, he thought it might be weird to hug and was all shy about it. Hugging is something I do with all my friends, don’t go down on them though lol. Reading some of the above comments, I do think
it’s good he asked, but the fact that he was still so meek about it after permission is adorable.
Not normally the guy who attacks semantics, but in this case they’re important. JD is a “they” or a “them” not a “she” or a “her”
Yes, sorry. I don’t usually make that mistake, I would edit the post if I could.
Your layout is awesome, but I think that in the first panel when Anwar interrupts her.. If you put the speech bubble closer, it’ll have more of a correct feeling. When it’s that far away, it seems like some time has passed, and that really changes the feel.
Yes, you guessed correctly: This person has just finished writing a 5 page paper on Sin City, and now sees panels everywhere.

I’d just like to add, how much I like the drawing of the awkward second arm of the big spoon. I’ve never found a good place to put it and from the looks of it, Anwar will have major ‘pins and needles’ after a while.
I love JD’s body type in this backflash. All squishy and curvy, I’d cuddle someone like that any day or night :)
Also I wonder what Anwar’s thoughts about sexual relationships are from his religious point of view. I don’t want to say in any way that his Asexuality and religious/cultural mindset are connected (because imo they’re not) but he is so over-aware about thinks like pork and alcohol, I just wonder if he feels a little guilty for having this sexual relationship
Anwar was scrawny as all hell
