Annoying Male Interactions

[elfs]

I was very disappointed by the "Gender Lines" panel, mostly because one of the writers claimed that he could tell when a woman was writing a sex scene under a male pseudonym because, as he put it, "the man was thinking too much." He claimed that in a sex scene written by a man, the man thinks of only two things: "Damn, she's got a nice <insert body part here>" and "Damn, I'm doing pretty well here."

I guess that disappointed me because, during sex, I'm thinking all the time. Sometimes it is admiration for my lover, sometimes it is concern that I'm not doing well enough, but oftentimes it is contemplation of what it all means, the why, the how, the expected outcome: where will we stand with each other when this is all over?

Am I just wired weirdly? Goddess knows I seem have all the requisite mechanics and instincts; my masculinity seems to be intact. But when three men in a row assure me that thinking during lovemaking is a sure sign of femininity, what am I am to make of that?

*looks at humanity in general*

Uh... yes? Not that that's a bad thing, you understand. ;-)

I'm wired weirdly too. During sex there is definitely a part of my brain that gets all scientific. "What is the reaction of the subject if we stimulate this area?" *stimulus* "Ah, excellent. I must make note of that. Now, how about we change the level of tactile pressure?"

Yeah, I think I have some kind of weird mad scientist inner-voice who comes out at times like that. :-)
