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.
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.....
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...)
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.

Well, the brain's the most important sex organ anyway.

"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?

Apologies - I seem to have inferred something from your post and then paraphrased it poorly. I did not intend to imply anything on your behalf.

Fair enough. One man's feather is another man's chicken, as they say.

Well, at least he managed to immediately say no this time around. That's a start.
Indeed, he just forgot the "Not" between "it's" and "okay."

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?

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).

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. >_> )
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.

I don't think we're really capable of discussing this properly. :/

Don't date Yuki in the first place, of course.

I hesitate to ask, given the events that are occurring, but.... which head!?!?
Frankly, if all of them have tongues, then I can understand Yuki's insanity a bit better.

Well, that's a little bit hars-.... Oh, you mean Gary. Fair enough.
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.
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
