hee. 'course it's not rhetorical-- my questions are almost never rhetorical, if only because i -always- want someone else's perspective just so i don't feel so trapped in my own head ^^; and no, i totally know that it's not really a sexual interchange because in the end it's not meant that way... i mean, you can't really do that without meaning to. maybe. or maybe you can(?!?) ...i think it's sort of passive, like you said-- the same sort of thing where a hot girl wears a really skimpy little dress and she -knows- that guys (or girls) will stare and want to lick her breasts or whatever-- she knows. and let's say she wants it (likely enough)-- she wants to be desired. it's a sexual energy, definitely, but it's not intended to be followed up on, not intended to be made 'real'-- so when a guy molests you, he doesn't get to say, "you were asking for it"-- 'cause you were asking to be looked at, your body read, but not er.... used. or something. -.-
and usually it doesn't bother me, but it's just-- there's more than nothing to it, you know? there's -some- sexual energy being tapped into, but i think it's only really enough to be worth mention rather rarely, and that rare instance is what sometimes concerns me. i don't know. sometimes, when it's obvious that it's personal-- the writers' personal fantasy, the author's libido somehow manifesting. not that you can ever -know-, but sometimes it's blatant, especially in rp. heh. *laughs nervously* i was actually thinking of rp, really.
but with you, it's most definitely all about the free spirited happy porn-- i mean, when you don't pin down the sexual energy, it becomes somewhat unthreatening, untethered to a one-on-one interchange where it has to change anything-- it's like, knowing you & reading your stuff is like being at woodstock. or something ^^
but with more uptight writers... it's a bit different. i dunno. or not~:)
