Oh ... My ... God ...

DeviantArt is the limit.

When I get bored, there are a few places I go: FaceBook, email, and DA.  The latter, because I like to look at pretty women; there's no point in being coy with you, my readers, because you know how I am.  I try to be inconspicuous when I'm out and about with friends, but ... Oh!  I figured, in the privacy of my own home ...

It all goes to show that there's no privacy anymore.  DA has—obviously—noticed that I like to look at pictures of women.  I ascribed the lack of guy pics to, naturally, the preponderance (there I go again with my left-wing vocabulary) of male members on the site.

But now, they're showing me, almost exclusively, pictures of two women kissing!  Well, I  think I must have liked a lesbian kiss one time too many, and now I'm labeled a 'lesbian kiss lover,' and that's all I'm going to be shown!!

On the face of it, there's no problem; commercial-minded artists (and I think that's most of them, on DA) create whatever they think people like.  But I happen to know that straight girls don't like to pose as lesbians.  They just don't, just as lesbians don't like to pose as straight.  For some girls, sure: it's not a problem; they'll do anything.  It's just a job.  But it's ... I just don't know; getting categorized this way feels like an invasion of privacy, really. 

And another thing: in some pictures of girls kissing, it seems to me as though the girls are really into it, you know?  I think I can tell.  In other pics, they're just kissing, like, a sisterly kiss, or kissing a BFF.  Most annoying is that guy artists don't seem to be even trying to convey a little more authenticity. 

On the other hand, if a pair of models actually were lesbians, and if they actually happen to be a couple, let's say; there's a good chance that they would not be on board to display their private feelings for a commercial purpose.  They just do a kiss, a moderately convincing one, and get it over with. 

Maybe I'm overthinking this, and these are very private matters, and everybody's different.  But something I've tried to do is to set aside my hangups when I'm writing, to add a little more persuasion to my work.  But my romantic writing is, I know, just a little wooden.  I tend to be a tiny bit removed—like recalling intimacy from sometime in the past—so that it isn't as immediate as it should be.  Anyway ... what's to be done.
