Red Region Inferno

As most of you who read my blog know, LL is hands down our favorite swingers site.
(Yes I know the lifestyle is the socially correct lingo)
Anyways… all sites could use some improvements as none are perfect.
Lifestyle Lounge has been doing a lot of that this year.
Most improvements haven’t been anything I cared much about though.
Today’s was awesome though.

One of the buggers with the site. (all swingers sites have buggers about them) was that if you had private galleries filled with naughty pics you could only share them with Real Sealed members.
It was for protection I suppose, but it made it so if you wanted to send your naughty pics to a freebie non certified real couple you had to do so via emails.
To much of a hassle for me. I’m lazy that way.
Now however (as of today) we certified real members (paid up or not I believe) are able to share with anybody we like on the site.
That is how it always shoulda been in my mind.
So… KUDOS to LL for a good change in the rules.

Kissing The Velvet

This is a bit more on the realistic side than I had planned when I started it.
Sometimes I geek out on form, sometimes colors, sometimes perspective, and sometimes it is the composition.
Every once and a great while I get a tad wrapped up in picking away at something though, and this was one of those times.

I did this pretty picture with Higgins Black Magic ink and Grumbacher watercolor paints.
I had no working title when I did it, so once complete I was stumped on what to call it.
My wife said call it “Miranda eating pussy.”
Umm… No.
A bit crass I think.
She was of course being humorous in her title help, but also a tad serious.
It sat around for three weeks until I thought of “Kissing The Velvet.”
Like that?
I do.

If you like the girly girl themed art you should also check out my last post.
I am giving away a fun girly girl original piece of art done in pastels.
Or you can skip that and go straight to the giveaway here.
It is a whole different flavor (and style) than the one shown above.

Anyhow… hope you all enjoy Miranda Eating Pussy, I meant Kissing The Velvet. *wink*

Have a Sinful Sunday

Art Geeky Notes:
When using Higgins inks for images such as the above I use a combination of dip pens in various sizes and brushes too.
I often dilute my inks with plain tap water.
When I apply watercolor washes it is almost always mid ink-work on detailed pieces.
(like the above)
This allows me to fine tune the work after colors are there without getting an overworked look.
If the piece is less detailed I do ALL my ink-work first and then lay the watercolor washes.
Applying water based inks over watercolor washes is dangerous because it easily creates a muddy look.
That is why I only do so on higher detail artwork. I hate taking the “You just made a mud pie” risk on something unless it is 100% necessary.

Funny Note:
Miranda claims that I NEVER get her nose right.
On completion of this the first thing she said to me was “You still didn’t get it right.”
I use her as a subject in a lot of the stuff I do.
It has become a personal quest to someday get her nose right.
The day I do… no matter what the artwork is that she finds her nose to be done right… I shall title it “I got Miranda’s Nose Right.”

Prints of the artwork shown above can be found here.
(along with other fun ink and watercolor works)

I do a lot of studies.
Most go in the trash.
Some I keep.
Some become starting points for other projects.
Often I stash them away and find them years later.
Sometimes people talk me into selling them.
My latest thing is to give some of them away.

This is the one I am giving away right now.

If you dig it you can go here and enter to win it.
If it is a bit to risque for your bedroom walls (note all the bits are strategically hidden) but you still dig it, feel free to share the giveaway around without entering.

I just framed this up and sent it off to Dirty Show 14, which is an annual erotic art show held in Detroit.

erotic goddess image

The title is Demeter in the view of mortals.
It was inspired from a story about the roman goddess Demeter who is the goddess of the hearth and its fire whose flame was tended by vestal virgins.

Many people who know me in person have made comments on the pubes.
It has even been called things like “the pube picture,” and “Goddess of bush.”

I explain that it is a Roman Goddess, and that a goddess would not shave her pubes.
It was never mentioned that she had no pubic hair, so I assume she did.

My humorous friends (and family) have stated that it is to much of a bush.
They have said if I had made her hairless it would be more erotic.
My argument is:
1) Demeter would have had a full growth bush.
2) I already trimmed it up in my mind to fit better with today’s minds.
3) Some people really love a bit of bush.

So… weather you dig a bit of bush or not… a true goddess would have some in my mind.
I can’t imagine a goddess shaving her bits (or even magicking her hair away) to be in the current fashion.

On that note I will say that I have noticed a huge trend with the late teens/early 20′s gals not shaving anyway.
Just a nice trim seems to be the trend. A small bush so to speak instead of a short cropped lawn or baldness. It is rather cute.

If you really dig the above watercolor and ink artwork you can get prints of it HERE. (pubic hair included)

So the other night…

Pffft, the pictures give enough of a hint about that.
Modern digital cameras are some amazing things.
While looking at a few pictures I recently took (the ones I used to make the odd collage type deal above) I got to thinking how cool it was to be able and just point and shoot in the dark with a camera and get surprise pictures afterwards.

The lights can be completely off.
Sure, the flash is probably a bit annoying, but still it is amazing.
The real pictures that I got looked as if they had been shot with the lights on.
No special settings. It was just on auto.

Anonymity of one of the people who were in the dark doesn’t allow me to show those pictures, but I wish I could.
She is sexy in a way that makes me jittery.

So… after a few pics I set that camera down and uninterrupted their game.
Cameras and taking pictures didn’t cross my mind again that night.

Twice in one week I have had a strange topic of conversation arise because of a certain theme that flows through much of my erotic art.

The first was a simple question put to me of why I do so much art with a girl on girl theme.
This question came from a male who happened to be gay in the flaming sort of way.

I told him that I bill most of it as “lesbian” because that is how people will usually identify with it.
In reality I think of it as bisexual girls.
The reason I think that way is partially the same reason I create so much artwork that revolves around it.
In my life MOST girls I have known closely and intimately have been bisexual.
The minority girls identify as lesbian and straight.
That is not a recent thing. It is lifelong.
I have no clue what sexual preference someone I randomly chat with on the street may be.
I don’t care one bit what preference the gal or dude checking my groceries at the store may have.
I’m talking about people I actually know.
People I have had dinner with more than twice. People who have been in my home.
Almost all who happened to be female also happened to be bisexual.
I’m a bisexual girl magnet I guess.

So… I think of girls firstly as bisexual. I therefore do not think of them as lesbian or straight until it has been told to me.
It is an subconscious  assumption from life experience.
Most people I think consider people as straight until they find out different, unless the person in question heavily advertises it through social clues.
Clues like being “flaming” gay as I said above.
The mannerisms and ways of talking/dressing advertise his preferences for him.

So mostly I know bisexual girls.
Mostly I hang out with females.
Mostly I am influenced by them and also have better access to female+female type situations for modeling purposes.
In general… men don’t like to get naked and be in front of a camera so much as women either.
When they do they are often shy or restrained once naked.

Believe it or not… men have way worse body issues than women once naked usually.
I’ve been stripping people down for photos, art, tattoos, piercings, and a few other odd things for a long time.

Women are simply more comfortable in general.

So… I have a ready supply of females who have no problem touching other females.
(at least in comparison to males)

Thus… girly girl art.

The answer was accepted by the guy who said he wished I would do some guy+guy art.
Since he was an attractive little guy I told him I would be very happy to have him pose for me if he had a likewise attractive partner for said modeling.
He was not interested.

I did mention that there was more than one strange conversation on this topic I believe.
The second one was much more interesting.

A girl came into my place of work and complimented me profusely on my paintings.
She regularly read/follows my art blog.
(I’m hoping she doesn’t know of this blog)
After many compliments and telling me all about which pieces she liked the most she pretty much straight up asked if I’d like to watch her have sex with my wife.

I told her I would be interested in her modeling, but sex with my wife wasn’t needed for such things.
“Wouldn’t you like to watch though?” was her reply.
I said I don’t usually get into such things unless I am involved personally, and that I doubted my wife would take kindly to me setting her up on a blind sex date with someone she had never even seen before to boot.
The girl seemed confused and a tad embarrassed. I tried to sooth her via explaining that I wasn’t a guy who thought lesbians were hot and had no voyeuristic fantasies of watching girls get it on.
She wanted to know how come I made that sort of art then.
I explained basically in the same way I did to the guy.
This chick still had no clue.
She said something like “So if I want to do this I have to have sex with you too?”
I was offended.
I said something like “No, you can pose, I can use you for certain things, but no sex with anybody is involved, and what makes you think I would want to have sex with you?”
Her face turned apple red with splotches.
She replied with an “I don’t know, I just thought you did.” to which I replied “I don’t even know you.”
Then she proceeded to tell me how I have done all her tattoos while pulling bits of her clothes aside to show me.
*sigh*
I explained that I don’t remember people well, but did recall the tattoos once I saw them.
She seemed appeased, but still flustered and embarrassed.
I told her about a form I have online for people who wish to model.
I told her to fill it out if she was still interested.
She said she would and left.
As of yet… I haven’t received any form from her.

Now with those fun stories said I will add this to the why of girly+girly art.
1) I find women beautiful. I find them beautiful in ones, twos, threes, and mores.
2) My wife prefers girly+girly art over girly+guy art and I like it when my wife enjoys my art.
3) There is a small market for such art and there is almost zero for my own preferences in the art world.
I am a lover of group sex and fantasy scenarios. Not many people will buy art depicting orgy like scenes. Even those who partake in such things are not seeking to hang such scenes on their bedroom walls.
I am not a hobby artist.
Only hobby artists (or those born with silver spoons) may create without any care at all of sales.
Simply because art is my sole bread and butter I am bound to keep the consumer in mind at least a little bit.

Erotic themed art is a very tiny market.
It isn’t for the living room. It is mostly for bedrooms (some even call it bedroom art) and it is for the den, the adult game room, the man cave, and sadly even those places rarely.
In creating erotic themed art I have found myself in a tiny niche.
Making it smaller would make it impossible to succeed.
I’d end up having to do frigg’n Christmas card illustrations to make ends meat.
No Thanks!

Prints of the artwork shown above can be found here.
The title for work is “Suck My Kiss.”

We are all different in what we like and how we function.
When it comes to sex that is as true of a statement as can be made.
Yet… we are also all kinda the same.

People often post little polls in the forums on Lifestyle Lounge.

I recently saw this one on how long a woman wants a man to go at it during intercourse.

The question read as follows:

While fucking…the actual act…how long do you prefer the guy to take before cumming? Is there a thing about taking too long? If a guy cums quicker than you want…do you give him the “second chance” ?

These were the results:

1-3 minutes is just right 2 [ 1.75% ]
4-10 minutes is perfect 27 [ 23.68% ]
11-15 minutes. After that I get bored and raw 18 [ 15.79% ]
15-30 minutes. So I can have 3 orgasms 37 [ 32.46% ]
I want to go all night non-stop! 13 [ 11.40% ]
All of the above 9 [ 7.89% ]
None of the above 8 [ 7.02% ]

Not a lot of votes were in yet, but nonetheless I found it interesting.
People in the lifestyle (swingers) seem to to like their intercourse to last about the same amount of time everyone else does.
I found that surprising because I have met a few girls in the lifestyle that wanted to go go go.
Many more than what I have met outside of swinging.

This little article on esquire says adequate coitus lasts anywhere from three to seven minutes.
Here is a quote from the article;
“Very few people have intercourse per se [Latin for by thrust] that goes longer than 12 minutes,” says sex therapist Barry W. McCarthy. Essentially, ejaculatory inhibition, which is also called “delayed orgasm” or “junkie orgasm,” has less to do with actual time than an inability to ejaculate when you’d like. And premature ejaculation, which is also called “rapid ejaculation” or “your ejaculation,” refers to intercourse that lasts less than a minute or two.
It seems this matches up great with the favored time of most women who answered the poll on LL.
Still… “delayed orgasm” or “junkie orgasm” ???

I can go off within a minute or make myself last up to an hour pretty easy.
I usually like about 10 to 15 minutes, but it depends.
Sometimes if I get up in the 40 minute plus zone I lose sensation though and can even lose my erection.
Not cool!

On medindia.net I found this sex duration calculator.
It only allows you to say up to 8 minutes.
For my age and ethnicity it says
“Your have indicated that your average time of sexual intercourse is above 8 minutes .
But for your age, ethnicity and country, the average time is generally 3.5 minutes.”
Then the info along with the calculator states…
“Research indicates that the best sexual intercourse lasts between 7 and 13 minutes.”
If 7 to 13 is best and 3.5 is average for my age/ethnicity then I am seeing a not perfect situation for my fellow forty something males in their bedrooms at home.
There fix it advice is to have more foreplay.
Hows that fix intercourse?
Maybe these guys already have tons of foreplay and please their partners ten times over before intercourse.

On wikipedia I found a bit of info dating back to 91 that said June M. Reinisch and Ruth Beasley of the Kinsey Institute found that 75 percent of men ejaculated within two minutes of penetration.
The guys they sampled must have been highly stressed.

How long a girl wants it to last…

from my own experience I can say that I have had gals get pissed and even bitch at me if I give them an ultra quicky (minute man style)
I will say that I have never done this with a girl on a first or second or even a third date/time.
I think that is why they get pissed. They know it wasn’t my usual way.
My thinking is that if I feel a really strong orgasm coming on I should go for it because it may not be as strong later.
Round two is also always hoped for… and it ain’t like I just stop and roll over.
The reason i never do it on the first through third dates/times is because I figure I may not get my second/third/fourth if I did.

I’ve also had many girls ask me to cum when I wasn’t at a perfect cum time so I have asked why and the reason was “getting sore.”
Sometimes it has been in as little as 15 minutes.
Some girls however want it for a full hour and after a 15 minute break think it is time to go again.
Sadly I need more than just a 15 minute break nowadays if it was a long one like that.

I read a bunch of other dorky webpages on average times and average wishes of females.
The four to ten minutes the LL poll is showing as the top deal seems to be the consensus.
I’m having a stupid thought about setting a stopwatch for 4 minutes and hitting the button on penetration.
“beep beep beep” 4 minutes later and I call halftime and pull out for a minute.
Cheerleaders do their thing and then I go back into the game.
I get weird thoughts like that all the time… don’t worry, I won’t be setting any stop watches.

So, my question to you is how long do you think it should last and how long (in your life) does it usually last?

For me I would say I usually go for 10 to 15 minutes.
I’d like it more around 20 to 25.
My primary partner however does NOT want it to be that long.
She is more into maybe 5 to 10 max.
I try to please. (usually)

I am probably the only artist in the world who would get a commission to make a birthday card like this.

As for the post title…
Inside the card it said “Happy Birthday Slut!”
Then there was a small illustration of a cake with a penis candle (I may re-create that larger for another card) and the words “Hope all your naughty wishes cum true.”

That second line was my idea and we toyed with some puns about blowing out candles/blowing cocks, but ended up deciding to keep it simple.

If any may be wondering about it, the picture looks not much at all like the intended slut wife the card was made for except the hair and big lashes which just happened to be not so far off from my own wife’s hairstyle and big lashes ;)
Even if the gal was available to model for me it would have kinda ruined the surprise of it all anyway.

I liked this card design so I decided to make it available to all. It didn’t really fit in with anything else I have been doing so I used my seldom used Redbubble account. Actual card is located here on Redbubble for those who wish to skip my lame profile.
The cake and penis candles re-draw may end up there too eventually as a naughty card.

I’m into the naughty cards idea.
If you have some sweet (naughty) ideas that you’ve never seen as a card throw them my way.
Also any funny one liners that would make a great birthday/Christmas/new years type card that you’ve never seen done… throw me those idea too.
I need some inspiration.

It’s like two posts in one!

This weeks Wicked Wednesday prompt was sexual identity/bisexuality.
If I had seen it earlier (just saw it) I most likely would have done something along those lines.
How people self identify and how other perceive people is very interesting to me.
The topic of bisexuality is also something I get into a lot.
I have been in very few relationships in my life that I consider of any importance.
Three and a half girlfriends to be exact.
Two of those became wives.
Of those 4 girls all were bisexual to one degree or another ranging in a strong preference to women with a slight taste for certain men to primarily heterosexual, but definitely down for playing with girls.
Note that when I say “playing with girls” I mean having sex. Sex between females constitutes eating pussy at the least.
I mention that because some people consider bisexual play between women to be kissing, fondling, etc…
I mean sex.
Since I have never been monogamous by nature and have only had relationships with bisexual females it stands to reason that I mostly have known bisexual women in my personal life.
Also because of my nature it should be of no surprise that many of these women ended up being sexual partners to either myself or myself and one of the wives mentioned above.
I’ve been a pretty big slut in my life.
We are in the three digit numbers when I am guessing as to how many girls I have had sex with WHILE they were licking a peach.
Even with that as my background…. I have had people tell me they don’t believe bisexuality is real.
It is a straight person experimenting or a gay person trying to pretend they are not I have been told.
Fence sitters, people in denial… Yup.
Mostly it is closed minded (often ignorant) gay men or lesbians who say such things.
The majority of straight people seem to thing bi chicks are hot and bi guys are just straight up gay. (That is another topic in itself)

My own opinion however is this:
By nature all humans are bisexual.
I myself am as straight as a guy can be. I say this because I have zero homophobia and in truth envy bisexual people be they male or female.
To be bisexual would open up a whole new world of possibilities for me. I wish I was.
Yet… even with that wish I am not attracted to men in any way.
Maybe it was something in the water. Maybe it was my unhealthy obsession with Betty Rubble as a child.
Maybe it was that I don’t enjoy crass behavior such as public belching or flatulence
and I associate that type of thing primarily with men.
Whatever it was, I was cursed and lost the ability to find men sexually attractive before I was old enough to think of it.

So, everyone is bisexual to one degree or another by nature.
Some of us are just fucked up so far we ended up having to live completely heterosexual or homosexual lives.
That is how I see it.
You don’t need agree.

I don’t think anything else needs be said here.

Bossy creatures.
Most I have met anyway.

So… I had these cool naughty nurse costume pictures all ready for today’s Sinful Sunday post as it is supposed to be Halloween themed, but they are on my other laptop which I won’t have access to for the next three days.
You can all expect some fun costume pics next Sunday I guess.

This is my replacement post just because I had planned on playing along this weekend and now would feel like I slighted myself if I didn’t.

It is a simple figure study I did.

I also made a SIZZLE with the image that I kinda dig, though she lost her red hair and complexion.

If any of you are disappointed to not see Halloween images I posted a couple  pics I took of a girl dressed as EVE last Wednesday. (you can see them here)
and if you dig figure studies, I posted about giving one away yesterday. (you can see that here)

I like doing studies. Usually I spend about 5 to 10 minutes on a base sketch and then another 10 to 30 fleshing out the ones that I dig depending on the models attitude / fidgety level.
Sometimes I just do bunches of quick sketches (1 to 5 minutes) and then snap a few pics of the model at the end to reference later on.
I use such sketches and studies for references in my other art.
Enough art babble…
Redheads:
Bossy, sexy, lascivious, and temperamental.
Those are my first thoughts when I think of them as a species.
Those are all good points in my book too.

Not all red haired gals fit my mental stereotype though.
Truth is that very few do. (except the bossy part)
Oddly I hang onto that stereotype anyway.
Wishful thinking?

Ok… I am off to bite a freckled shoulder.
