Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Sins of the Father ~ Page 17
Anyone else find it funny how we have a culture obsessed with male comeshots but not with male O faces? I want to think it’s because most porn watchers are straight men (and that would be gaaaay), but even gay porn seems to avoid showing the expression on people’s faces in a moment of vulnerable pleasure in favour of white goop spurting out of genitals.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I had some worries about showing that they were a little bit too rough on James, but I think it’s important to show that sometimes people do get caught up in the moment.
I’m at london mcm comic con this weekend! Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you again :D
It has been established before that without lube, roughness can happen
(Steve and Mark ^,^)
Whether it’s a rug-burn or another kind of sting, I like that you think of these kinds of realistic issues.
And as a straight woman, I couldn’t agree with you more about the O faces. Not that I watch a lot of porn, and much of it is gay if I do, but would love to see more faces vs. cumshots. My guess is that part of the issue is that orgasm is a moment of ‘honesty’, and often a porn orgasm is fake. Some seem unable to fake a good orgasm face.
Not to mention O faces tend to be hilarious :) loveable but hilarious
Oh yes. People’s O faces look like they are hurt, confused, straining, or all combined. That’s why even during the actual sex we tend to close our eyes – it’s better to get caught in the moment than in the laughing fit ;)
But I personally don’t like cumshots. I thing it’s a stupid bodily function, things that our private parts secret should belong in the toilet and sex should be clean and dry [but without pain – nice and dry like a handshake].
I cannot thank you enough for including these “too rough” moments in your comics!! It’s what’s real and it needs to be shown!! Life happens sometimes. Oh, the rants I have gone on about sex and especially anal sex being misrepresented!! Anyone who has overheard one of my conversations knows my feelings on this – I complain about it 24/7. Everyone makes it look so easy and like you can instantly just go at it like rabbits (really really horny rabbits…horny gay rabbits) without any preparation and be oh so happy and blissed out and no pain at all!! Everybody’s wearing a smile.
It does not work like that.
Thank you for letting your comic be one of the only things that acknowledges that (anal) sex can get a little rough and isn’t always perfectly perfect for the partner receiving!!! There is some pain involved. There needs to be more like your comics in the world!
I understand that that’s probably the more common scenario with most people, but I must have a very naturally moist, loose ass or something because I’ve honestly never had much of a problem in my personal experiences lol
I saw a giant spider at the same time I saw last panel and screamed yeeeahhhhhhh NOO KILL IT all at once
Ah! <3
This edition seals the deal ~ I am forever in love with Arthur, James, and John and their beautiful trio and your excellent, vivid, and full on emotion-felt rendition of their lives. I am continuously astounded at the realness you bring to these characters. It feeds the hungry demisexual part of me, and I cannot imagine ever disliking anything you do! Thank you for such compassion and gifts you share with this world, Tab! <3 <8 <3
I for one much prefer O-faces in porn to seeing the come shot. I would rather see the look on both their faces when the penetrator orgasms inside the other, than see the come shot. However, seeing the come oozing out after…but in porn that calls into question a possibly unsafe sex practice. At least in a comic or in a book it can be so sexy without that concern.
I am loving these comics, btw, Tab. And your notes after each page too. I have written a trilogy (The James Lucas Trilogy) about three kinky men in love and the dynamic here reminds me of my guys even though the series is contemporary.
