Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Just checking to see if it worked. On a comic related note, is it just me? Or does it seem to be taking awhile to update again? *EDIT* Woot! it worked!

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
An offer for a full-body massage from the girl of your-literal-fantasies.
Not really feeling the loser status, Gary.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
I'm more interested in how destiny(or maybe we should call it status quo?) will screw the poor guy this time.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Yeah, that's the real tragedy for him... it get's him close enough to taste it, but janks the cake away from him before he can take a proper bite. Fate/TheAuthor is quite cruel to him. :smallamused:
Of course now i wonder... how did she get herself soaped up like that outside of the shower?

It's possible if you use a bath pouf thingy or loofah. Or you can pour dish-washing liquid directly into a stream of water as it came from the tap.
... I know too much about this kind of thing, don't I?

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Something about her anatomy looks very weird in that last panel.:smallconfused:

Do not question the ways of porn stars, for they are subtle and quick to lather.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Oh god... the better things look for Gary the worse the backlash... or will he actually be rewarded for what Dillon did to him?
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
You do realize what comic you're reading, right? Even actually losing his virginity was turned into an awful situation full of suffering for Gary.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
It's interesting to note that Gary himself doesn't really complain that much. Maybe we are overreacting?

:smallfrown: Thanks for crushing my hopes for Gary... I know it's delusional but... hey, he got laid. And he got... a lot of admirers... it's not like the universe is constantly kicking him. Oh, I'm sure he will get terribly punished again afterwards but maybe, just maybe...

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
When the universe is not kicking Gary, that just means it's winding up for a bigger kick.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
If Gary gained a large fortune, it would only to lose even more money in a cruel and vicious twist of fate.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
"Mr. Gary*, I have good news and bad news. Your great, great great uncle Vladimir died and left you twenty million dollars. The bad news is, the colombian mob wants it back. They will sent their sexiest assassins after you."

The thing is, a lot of his problems still seem like they are wish fulfilment. Like when he got two hot girlfriends at once.

Wish fulfillment that doesn't actually fulfill anything.
He got two girlfriends who were too busy fighting to actually enjoy dating and the one he picked is sexually misusing him.
So, y'know, like he's got a monkey's paw messing with him.
Even a literal genie would have killed him somehow to put him out of his misery by this point.
Even AM would show some mercy.

Too be fair, if he had picked the other one, he would be constantly injured because she thinks he gets off on being beaten.

I would say he actually has one girlfriend and one stalker.
And now two stalkers.

That's not fairness, that's simply noting that he had no real choice because he has no ability to be anything but a victim of outrageous fortune.

Somehow both kiley AND yuki will dash in there and catch them in the act. Kiley will say something that lets yuki know they also slept together, and the psychotic violence shatters the world.

Nah, Gary will just be loyal to Yuki and not have sex with Amber. Of course, Yuki won't have sex with Gary. So, it'll be a stalemate.

Kind of like the line between a woman not showing her nipples while still showing the rest of her breasts, and showing all of them? :smallamused:
Because that's the line television tends to hold itself to for R-ratedness.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Which is so stupid. What about nipples is so sexy in comparison to the rest of the breast? If anything, given that our imaginations are our most powerful sexual sense, the fact that the nipple is the only part that still gets covered up might easily be what makes it sexy.

It's the 'Forbidden Fruit' theory.
150 years ago, a woman flashing a bit of ankle or her neck was outrageously under-dressed, until a subtle change in fashion and morality allowed it to become more and more commonplace. When this happened, the 'taboo' moved onto calves and elbows. And then knees and upper-arms. And then thighs and shoulders. Etc, etc.
Jump forward to today where we've very nearly run out of taboos, and all that's left are the three most intimate of places (two of which, arguably, are already losing their mystique). Give it another 50 years, and maybe there'll be nothing left to hide?
Which, as you said, would be a sad thing and we'd have to start employing the very odd, Discworldian-concept that wearing clothes would be considered unusual.
Porn-stars would be famous for the size of their enormous, square black-out boards. Teenage girls wouldn't be allowed it of their parents' houses in skirts as long as that! Horny men would slip quietly into Burlesque bars and watch women pulling on overalls and winter coats for dollar bills stuffed into their Wellington boots..... :smalleek:

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Or body-modification becomes the new 'outre' - piercings, tattoos, weird experimental surgeries - while ordinary human bodies are simply boring however they dress.

An intriguing idea... I wonder if it could already work nowadays... I guess there would be too few people to market it to.
But really... I don't see the issue. Okay, Germany and I guess most of Europe is quite a bit ahead of the US when it comes to... how do I call it... nakedness in regular television. It's just a human body, get over it. It's just as spectacular as people make it out to be... And no child will get mentally scarred when it sees a nipple or a but. Sorry, I know it's not something all Americans think but I'm still perplexed once in a while at what some people believe...
(Which makes it all the more surprising when some TV shows have naked breasts all of a sudden...)
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
I don't think that a taboo is a general requirement for sexiness. It's actually much more subtle, then it seems. For one, not everyone will find certain things sexy. Second of, even if someone finds something sexy, it highly depends on the context of the situation.
Yes, some people will research new forbidden areas or activities for they find taboo (any taboo) sexy, but most would happily live their lives without ill-placed angst.
I'm sorry, if my post looks like incoherent, but I'm quite tired at the moment.

I read an essay that, among other things, discussed the notion of us living in the "post-pornographic world"; a world where porn has lost its taboo and has become mainstream and common to our senses and therefore, fundamentally, fails to achieve it's artistic purpose.

Well, I honestly don't believe that the veiling of secrets will ever be as interesting as the unveiling of them, at least not if it's not, in some respect, your secret (and here we can get into a whole other can of worms). Still, talking without any back-up whatsoever, I do believe that the view of what's sexy will shift away from solely nakedness, yes.

"Mystique" might be a better word than "taboo" perhaps. Not so much wanting it because you're told that you can't have it, but instead wanting it because it's a striking and unexplored thing?

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Somewhere, I kind of am thinking Gary's most certainly deserved this turn of events, no matter if she will actually go get the heels or not.
Because hopefully it'll force him to get better at communication.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Well, at least he managed to immediately say no this time around. That's a start. :smallamused:

Whelp, liking the turn of events so far.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
So the question is, if you're Gary, and you've once again gotten yourself in a messed up situation like this, what do you do?
Do you cheat on Yuki with Amber (not cool, but it's almost hard to blame him considering how messed up the relationship is)?
Do you run away to avoid the temptation?
Do you say, "Hold on one second" and call Yuki to break up with her so you can have guilt-free porn star sex?
Some other option?
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Question: would this be considered rape? It would if the genders/sexes were reversed.

Legally, a lawyer could easily twist this into rape, yes. Personally, even with the sexes switched, I wouldn't at this point, because at no point has Gary told Amber he doesn't want this, while he has clearly show interest in her at several occassions (and the giant porn stash is further proof of that).

While I'd certainly consider the third option, I'd say it's the weakest. Break-ups should be done face-to-face IMO, unless it can't really be done otherwise (due to distance issues or one party being particularly abusive -- which I wouldn't call Yuki).
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Iunno, i'd call the relationship status of Gary/Yuki questionable at best. Or rather "theoretical". Maybe that experience with amber will give him that much needed bit of experience to make progress with Yuki.
(Let's call her a "sex coach" for the purpose of this. It won't happen and Gary will get kicked in the balls, of course, but one can dream. >_> )
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Gary's going to end up castrated by the end of this or something. It's the only way to balance the karma he's building up.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Head in a jar, I'd say. That way, he can still use the swirly.

No kidding! From what I know of Baseball, it's actually a really horrible metaphor for really bad sexual behaviour.
Think about it: There's a guy using his best moves to 'pitch' at the batter.
Either the batter takes a two-handed club and swats the first guy's balls 400 yards over a wall and into oblivion, or the batter is completely taken in by the pitcher's moves and ends up walking, alone and ashamed, back to their bench to the jeers and laughter of the hundreds - if not, thousands - of people watching.....
....Just another typical game on a Saturday morning. If You Know What I Mean. :smallwink:
So to put into a ckicket metaphor:
Gary is just one of those bowlers who bowl slow balls without any spin while yuki keeps her bat in front of the stumps so gary can't score a wicket? Or even worse, so Yuki can score 6's on every ball?
It is indeed a bad metaphor since the swirly is suggested to be an equivalent of a Yorker bowled by a fastbowler: works every time :smallamused:
