While it's easy to get on the negative, let's focus on the positive, as I seem to recall that this was a large part of the original forum, yes/no? OK, let's start with the Black Widow, because her sex life was more or less the focus of the recent "Deadly Origin" mini. Short version: Soviet Doomsday weapon nanobot mindcontrol device was put into Natasha, and everyone she ever touched was infected, and so was everyone her victims touched, turning them into murderbots when said doomsday device was activated. And given that Daredevil, Hawkeye, Tony Stark and Hercules were all on her lovers list, that's a lotta people, plus innocent bystandards she patted on the head, saved from a burning building, etc. Sidenote: Given that Hawkeye slept with Moonstone, and Moonstone has been systematically going through the Dark Avengers....would anyone have noticed? But getting back to main point here is the current relationship between James "Bucky NewCap" Barnes and Natasha. It's a nice and fun relationship. It's so doomed. Next time - Marvel's current Hercules and his list of lovers: stereotype or deconstruction thereof? Attachments:

I suppose this counts as a silver lining, but in the current status quo, Black Cat told Spider-Man that he was the best sex she'd ever had.
Problem is, given what a selfish, stupid, bumbling asshole he is in the current status quo, this strikes me as an informed ability rather than an actual one.

And in the latest episode of Smallville we learn that apparently, as part of his training with Jor-El, Clark's covered the "control" issues required to deal with having sex with normal unpowered humans.
So, just to be clear, an AI programmed with the persona of Clark's dead Kryptonian father covered interspecies Kama Sutra.
That is all.
Michael.

Been meaning to put this up for a while...hard to find it.
The answer to "Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex."
What makes this scene great is all in the subtext
1) Getting sex ed from an AI that talks with the voice of your dead biological father who has been a consistent dickhead to you.
2) That clearly, Jor-El not only took this...difficulty Clark would have into account, but actually had to determine a method to get past it.
3) This begs the question - what kind of "experiments" would Jor-El have had to conduct to come by this information? And what was the bodycount?

... That looks like one of my dad's old engineering diagrams for the original generation of supercomputers.

... Jesus Christ, this is depressing. This shit is enough to make even a veteran porn-hound like ME feel like I need to take a shower. I WANT to see more explicit sex scenes in superhero comics ... but the majority of THESE scenes? A few feel-good bright-spots aside, most of these moments are just sleazy in a BAD way, enough that I actually feel degraded on BEHALF of these characters. Think about how many scenes of VIOLENCE in comics have been presented as moments of TRIUMPH for the characters involved ... and then, think about how many of their explicit depictions of SEX could qualify as the same. Not nearly as many, yeah? Let that thought settle in your stomach, as porn parodies of these characters treat them with more respect and affection than their own comics do anymore. |

The writer is a bit lax in his research, as "the Venus Butterfly" was a mythical sex position from an episode of an 80's TV show (LA Law, I think). Based on the art, it's an easy bet the writer was referring to that, not any later real-world attribution.
Actually, I'd quibble about a lot of these choices, as most of them aren't particularly dirty, except for the fact that they involve familiar characters. I mean what was so dirty about Zatanna & Constantine?

I'm gonna go back to the other thing in a while. But first, I just want to put this up. www.cracked.com/article_19137_6-artists-whose-weird-fetishes-defined-pop-culture.htmlOn one hand, it's weird that Byrne gets on the list, but not Claremont or Perez, but then I realized that's probably because they've at least been more or less open about their fetishes. Also, it's interesting to see the overlap between this article and the one I put up yesterday. Finally, while Byrne is called out on his..issues, they also ignore his kink for age-inappropriate pairings. That's all on this one. |

It's also the second time Byrne has made a Cracked list.

Interesting that his only real complaint about sex scenes in comics is actually another form of his preexisting complaint about the modern writing of comics, which is that the writers care less about serving the needs of the characters and the stories than they do about serving their own secular interests.

It's fascinating reading his notes, and I would love to theoretically work with him someday, because even though I think Shooter is only a "pretty good" comic writer, he is a hell of a competent editor and a relentless critic of structure. We would probably be at each other's throats most of the time and I'd be grumping "hell, all those stories about him are true and then some," but by GOD, I bet my work would be better after we were through.
