I know I'm naive know, and I have a lot to learn. I didn't know that then, and I'm admitting I made a mistake.

I'm not trying to grill you, but seriously, you were so "naive" that you didn't know that sperm plus egg can equal infant?

You either knew it and didn't care, or you're REALLY clueless about sex. Like...2nd grade clueless.

I do not make porn and I am certainly not teasing anyone if I have such a negative body image.
STOP being over-protecting.
It was for art and expression reasons!
No porn involved.
There was no NUDITY!

I don't think I'm coming across clearly with what happened.

If everything had gone as we had planned, and what we had talked about, my semen should have never been near her vagina. I knew that before hand, and planned it out accordingly.

However, some of it got on my hand (I had no idea it could fly backwards. How it got on my hand is still hard to fathom). I wiped them off, which should have gotten all of the sperm off.

What freaked me out was the fact that a day later, I couldn't remember if I wiped my hands off or not (Which, in hindsight, I know I did, but at the time of writing the original post I didn't), and I kept wondering if I had missed a small bit.

That's why I got scared. I didn't know if having a small bit on my hands presented a possibility for her to get pregnant. That's what I was ignorant about, that's what I freaked out about.

Tell me.
Does this look borderline porn?
If it really does then I will take it off my dA.

I hate you!
How dare you call my art smut!
How dare you.

Solumina · 07-03-2008, 11:45 PM

Doesn't look like porn to me, interesting but certainly not pornographic

I don't think it's smut either.
But if someone thinks it is, then maybe many more can look at it that way as well...
I don't know...
I just deleted everything off my dA.
So it doesn't really matter, I guess.
Ignore my post...

Clockwork · 07-03-2008, 11:47 PM

Yeah, but you're not dating her.

Solumina · 07-03-2008, 11:49 PM

There aren't any naughty bits showing or any suggestions of anything sexual so I don't really see how anyone could see it as porn, some people are just uptight I guess

Clockwork · 07-03-2008, 11:51 PM

I don't consider a regard for decency a trait of uptightness.
Then again, the world's headed to hell anyway, so I wouldn't consider our current norms to be exactly virtuous.

Nonetheless, it's comical how calling anything artistic can be an excuse for the damnedest things.

Miss Cogs · 07-03-2008, 11:52 PM

I said ignore my post.
And go read your messages.

Solumina · 07-03-2008, 11:59 PM

Why does a bit of flesh always have to be sexual or pornographic? Being nude can make a person both innocent as well as extremely vulnerable and I think it is a damn shame that some people cannot get past naked=sexual and see that.

He's dating me and he's afraid that other people will look at me sexually.
I think he's just trying to protect me.
It's okay, Solumina.
I see his point...

Stay away from my children.

I'm not trying to fight your battle for you or anything, it is just something that kind of gets to me so I guess I was kind of ranting a bit

um...okay? It isn't like I'm some sort of deviant, or that it is okay to show my crotch to the world, I just don't think that all nudity should automatically be seen as smut

Godslayer Jillian · 07-04-2008, 12:15 AM

How the hell is that sexual in any way?

Clockwork · 07-04-2008, 12:18 AM

It was close enough to bother me.

Jesus Christ.

BREAK UP WITH HIM.

He doesn't want people to look at you sexually.
That would be ok if it was because he didn't want people hurting you, or making you feel objectified. YOU CLEARLY DON'T FEEL THAT WAY, AND NO ONE FROM DART CAN HURT YOU.

So that isn't why, it's because he's selfish and insecure.

Ask yourself, where does it stop?
Is he going to control how you dress? Is he going to give you hickeys all over to mark you as his own? Are you allowed to wear makeup and skirts?

Your art was clearly very important to you, but this asshole just doesn't care about you enough to be happy you're making it.

Drop him.

Grow up and stop letting your insecurities hurt other people.

honeythorn · 07-04-2008, 07:43 AM

That picture doesn't seem sexual in the slightest to me. There's no flange on view despite the angle, and the whole vibe of the thing is really as far from sexual as is possible in my eyes. The only thing on show is her legs close up. That isn't really sexual considering the style of the photo, and even if someone does find it to be so and keeps it for er..personal use, then there's not much you can do to stop them anyway. Why would it even matter?

honeythorn · 07-04-2008, 07:54 AM

Ok so work rang. I'm back in on Monday. You'd think this was a good thing and in a way it is because that means money for me. But what I want to know is how fucking long will I be in work for this time? A week? Two? . It's bloody ridiculous. Their website is SHIT, and as far as I know the only person who goes out to pimp the boxes and sell stuff / get orders in is Jim. There are only 3 of them in that office, Jim ,Joan and Jackie the three fucking musketeers. Joan's got a face like a slapped arse crossed with a bulldog chewing a wasp. I hope to fuck she isn't going round looking like she does, trying to get people to buy the damn things because if she is, we are DOOMED. She just exudes misery and doesn't even know how the bastard things are made on a machine. Jim is a grouchy old bastard as well.

I mean, why fucking bother running a factory if you can't get your arse in gear and do some hard selling? I know fuck all about sales and marketing but even I can see that something is VERY wrong with the way they're going about everything. Why can't they hire a salesperson or two and get them going round showcasing the work to companies? They've already lost a major company due to the fact that the boxes they wanted and the cover paper they chose was incompatible with the machines, which meant that no matter how hard you try they came off looking shit. Ray ( manager) doesn't give a flying fuck about quality and went round saying " oh it's only Rona ( the company ) send them out anyway " well considering the state of the crap we sent out ( and we weren't given enough time to try and get the machine to make them better ) I don't blame Rona in the slightest for cancelling their orders. And they ordered a LOT of boxes. Shitloads.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jim's had to go crawling to them to try and get them to order again. Wanker.

I've been trying to make a CV and get another job but the likelyhood of that occurring is infentisimal.

Mir · 07-04-2008, 08:08 AM

Infinitesimal.

honeythorn · 07-04-2008, 08:14 AM

Whatever. I can't be arsed with spelling today.

raggedyanne · 07-04-2008, 08:26 AM

Automatic Spell Check. Without it, I fail . . . . miserably.

So what do I do? My boyfriend's stalker-like ex-hookup that lives in Virginia is coming to visit? She was going to "come hang out" with him anyway, and a much as I enjoy seeing him panic and get all wierded out, I do not want her anywhere near him without supervision.
