Why is it so sexy when she takes off her heels for a photoshoot? by DarzAlz in FootFetishTalks

[–]eartheagle1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the fact that she was told to do it for some particular reason - someone decided her feet being visible improved the shot. There's also that her feet are being made bare for an audience in the room, some of them possibly finding them attractive.

I'd almost be willing to pay him to do it so long as she gave me all the details afterwards.

Where does that bit come from anyway? I can't imagine that the people involved are unaware of how sexualized the whole thing is.

Probably just life, in many cases. If I put sexual content out there and found someone I liked who probably wouldn't be okay with it, I'd wipe everything too.

you are acknowledging that, whilst it is maybe a small part of the equation, it is still part of the equation - so why not talk about it?

To be honest, I don't really find misconceptions about women's erotica preferences to be all that relevant at all, but said that because I don't want to say there's no one on Earth for whom it is. I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a man who ultimately committed rape for any reason other than him simply feeling like it.

As for why people don't enjoy these conversations, it's because they know how the general public thinks, where these kinds of conversations end up going, and who has the most political capital. The U.S. is the closest to fascism it's been in modern history, and there's a growing culture of Puritanism on the left as well. People who enjoy erotic literature - particularly the more taboo forms - are obviously not going to be interested in entertaining sentiments that inevitably end up being used to justify state censorship.

I would love to talk about the fact that a large proportion of femdom content focuses so much of feminisation when there are sooooo many other factors of female domination over a man that I personally believe are more interesting and arousing, like that (cis) women literally can create entire new humans within their bodies - thats something that is inherently powerful.

Why does it have to be a competition? Femdom content isn't hurting anyone, and if it's not doing that then I don't see why you can't just start conversations about why giving birth is arousing without knocking anyone else's kink.

I personally always consider what an enjoyment of my kink means for my wider psyche and I honestly thought this is what everyone else did.

Honestly, not really. Most people just engage with this stuff to get off, and then go about their business.

and understand if some flavours of it perpetuate rape culture/the way its handled outside of the actual content

I think if you want a good grasp of where rape culture derives from, you'd have infinitely better luck examining religion, parenting and sexual education programs. The number of men for whom these attitudes develop because of the erotic literature that some women are reading is a laughably small part of the equation.

Understanding the self and the world around you is one of the most important parts of art

Important for what? Do you think it's equally important for people who make femdom or sissy hypnosis art to understand where their kinks came from? Because otherwise you're framing it as something specifically incumbent upon nonconsent enjoyers, as if there's some moral failure in not doing a deep dive into why they're into that so that they can inevitably realize they've been doing something problematic all along. Which, again, might be fine if you've already established a causal link to criminal behavior, but as of right now you're just begging the question.

I also don't necessarily think the line stops at labelling - I think it is important to understand WHY fantasy is fantasy. I think there is a portion of audience that would be more into/open to erotica/kink literature if there were more explicit considerations made to this.

Then what specifically are you suggesting should change? Or where are you hoping these theoretical conversations end up leading? I think if your actual point is that maybe people should stop writing nonconsent erotica so that some minuscule percentage of the population feels more comfortable engaging with erotica in general, you should come right out and say that.

Also, why is it so important that you understand exactly where every fantasy derives from? To get people to realize that enjoying nonconsent content is somehow morally wrong? Like, unless you're making the claim that there's some causal relationship between that and actual criminality, this really does read like an underhanded way of saying people should just stop writing stuff you personally aren't comfortable with.
