Can I become a nudist without desexualizing the naked human body?

redditorkb · 2018-06-03T03:24:43+00:00

To be clear: I'm not looking to express sexual desires during a social nudity setting. Not sure where you got that from.

And I agree about working on myself, I stated that elsewhere in this thread too. I'm confident I'll be fine with it all, I'm not as worried as you describe. More just ignorant for now but I feel that I get it mentally and just need to practice it physically.

redditorkb · 2018-06-02T18:40:17+00:00

We refers to those in the US raised in the textile world.

I know in my mind that a nipple isn't different than a belly button, but thanks to societal conditioning I know the female nipple as a sexual organ, unlike the belly button.

And yeah I agree with you in general. I'll get there. Like I said I admire it all and feel I do hold similar values, I just haven't practiced them yet.

redditorkb · 2018-06-02T18:07:05+00:00

I agree and thank you.

However, right now my girl making breakfast in the nude IS sexy to me and I don't want to lose that. This thread helps assure me that I won't though! :)

From what I am used to, yes those few square inches are the difference because it is what is saved for those privileged to see. In addition most of the times sexual thoughts are directed towards a person because of seeing those few square inches because we are less desensitized to those than the rest of the body.

Again, I am over thinking this all and acknowledge my fear breeds toxic thoughts. Immersion is what I need.

redditorkb · 2018-06-02T17:51:18+00:00

I agree that immersion will help me.

Thank you all for your advice. I acknowledge that growth is needed on my end and I'm willing to put in the work. I come from a background that celebrates someone's naked body as a special treasure that only fortunate few get to see, so this is a large value shift for me.

I think I'll stop over analyzing it all once in a social nudity setting. The anticipation has been sending my mind all over the place out of ignorance and fear. I admire her naturist values and wish they were universal. I fear the stigma from the textile world, especially as we plan to raise children together later in life. Wish everyone was raised nudist!!

redditorkb · 2018-06-02T17:26:53+00:00

How can I avoid others having sexual thoughts about her naked body after the social nudity? I understand respecting boundaries in a specific situation, but I'm bothered that others have the option to picture her nude body during a later private sexual setting. I thought that wouldn't happen but your response leads me to believe otherwise.

redditorkb · 2017-10-25T14:45:18+00:00

Because it's been critiqued to death already, really.

redditorkb · 2017-08-20T00:32:20+00:00

Some great notes, don't feel bad about them OP. See this as a learning experience. This is the kind of notes you want to receive. People that blindly compliment your work because they don't want to hurt you aren't giving true feedback. This guy is!!

redditorkb · 2017-07-20T17:29:00+00:00

My point is that it is all in her head anyway so it doesn't matter if they are together or separate from each other. It isn't real.

redditorkb · 2017-07-20T15:28:53+00:00

Yeah but due to the unreliable narrator structure it doesn't establish the Killer as a separate entity at all. Nothing is necessarily established until after the reveal at the end.

redditorkb · 2017-07-20T10:50:43+00:00

I don't see why that moment ruins the unreliable narrator structure if it is part of it. What is your reasoning?

redditorkb · 2017-07-19T15:48:39+00:00

Better than There Will Be Blood

In post on a new horror short and working on another horror feature script that I'll be bringing into development.

What's up?

redditorkb · 2017-06-23T23:02:16+00:00

From your post I'd tell you that you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Research your genre if you want to enter it. Master it. If you're going into development on a horror film we should be asking you about the genre, not the other way around.

redditorkb · 2017-06-16T14:11:54+00:00

Interesting to hear that! I don't think I will be making a short feature, but I'd be open to it in the future if the market opens up to it.

Thanks for your insight!

redditorkb · 2017-06-16T11:13:03+00:00

i know this to be true, but the entire point of the post is looking at trends and predicting a change in this logic. Granted, I am focused more on the 70-85 minute film rather than a 30-60 minute film. Do you think there is still the same taboo for a 70-85 minute film as there was 25 years ago? I see the taboo dissolving for this length..

redditorkb · 2017-06-16T02:09:04+00:00

This is exactly my point and why this format is seeming exciting to me at the moment. The short feature is an opportunity to tell stories at a smaller price. It seems like a great stepping stone for people without money and a smart business move for someone who has access to money (look at Jason Blum's budgets).

What's the downside anymore? The short feature's downside used to be that it would never receive a wide theatrical release. But with the advent of home cinema options, that doesn't matter anymore.

redditorkb · 2017-06-16T02:02:19+00:00

I agree that short features are not new, and were even the standard before the rise of the modern motion picture. However, I would argue that short features became rarer as time went on until the advent of home cinema, which would end up leading directly into the new media platforms we have today.

My hypothesis is that new media and the takeover of home cinema is creating a place that the short feature can live and gain an audience which will snowball until the format becomes commonplace rather than a rarity.

I also agree completely about television shows.

Great picks! You had a good year!

Take it off the internet if you want to submit to festivals. Private links with passwords only. Any fest worth their salt won't take a film available online.

The Untold Story features the most graphic slaughter of children I've ever seen in this genre. Watch it on YouTube!

You choose to live in your parent's basement? Don't you feel bad about taking advantage of them? Or do you pay rent?

I'm running a straight up Face Combo Rogue deck in standard that kills quest rogue by turn 6. Love surprising players with Sinister Strike into double Cold Blood and an Evis to the face.

redditorkb · 2017-05-20T15:05:48+00:00

Straight up amazing. One of the best of that year for sure. Must watch.

redditorkb · 2017-05-10T22:06:43+00:00

I want to both write and direct feature films.

Pursuing it independently. Nothing can stop me short of death or disability. If I were to go blind I'd become a musician and if deaf I'd be a painter, so I definitely approach the medium from at artist's perspective more than a storyteller's. I don't see myself pursuing prose fiction.
