Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.

Matilda! OMG cute. So very patient, too. Almost bored, really. "Oh, look, another admirer taking my photo. How exciting."

my ideal type is, like, a logger or something. And if he wears a tux, he has to know how to fistfight in it

You know, there's a paraphilia-related entry in Wikipedia that talks about just this. Made me feel a little spied on.

How is liking a guy in a tux who can fight a sexual deviance?!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

God, Aimée, it's like I don't even have to post.

Hee! I remember the things you call me on, is all!

You've called me on the Vernor's thing and you've called me on the needing to get into shape for Krav thing.

I'm a good student! I listen and retain information!

(Sorry if I'm aggravating-putting-words-in-your-mouth student. Please don't kick me.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are a good student.

Or I'm a good teacher.

I think we can each pick the one we want to believe.

How is liking a guy in a tux who can fight a sexual deviance?!

First off, Wikipedia's a little defensive about terms like deviance.

Paraphilia is also used to imply non-mainstream sexual practices without necessarily implying dysfunction or deviance.

Here's their basic description of the fetish:

Suit and tie fetishism or a suit fetish describes a fetishistic attraction towards men wearing business and/ or formalwear (or photos or video of men in such clothing, or the objects of clothing themselves), and also men who get aroused when they themselves are in such clothing.

And this is what made me laugh:

The effect on particularly masculine men can also be a factor if one looks at the suit as “civilizing” him; to see a man replete with bulging muscles, body hair and stubble being juxtaposed with being attired in elegant, formal clothing can be stimulating to some with this fetish.

Thought, to be honest, what they're describing seems to include the idea of suit as a hobble and a feminising influence. I like the suit also as a failed attempt at civilisation, or a coopted attempt.

Maybe I just like suits and power. Oh, and leg holsters. I really like those.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jilli, you are too serene and warm to be in the wacky category for me. Maybe Charming Eccentric?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Matilda is waiting patiently for pitchers and catchers to report.

Awwwwwwwwww. I am now a puddle of gooooo. Too cute.

I can't even.

But - that's why y'all drink, right? Turning the rage into boozing!
As an Alaskan, I have carte blanche to drink and to fight. It's What We Do. (And then we smoke pot and have sex. Because that's all there is to do up there.)

I grew up in a place just like that. Long, cold winters of remarkably unstable behaviour. But fun, y'know?

You sure we're not related?

Huh. (Evil thoughts chase themselves across my mindscreen). I don't think any of our folks made it that far west, but perhaps before leaving the old country? There certainly seems to be a common thread.

Yeah. I think the word paraphilia just lost all meaning.

My poor little sick girl is very upset she can't eat the beef stew. Her stomach has been quiet all day, but I've had to force her to have crackers and toast, so...no. I'm making her chicken noodle soup and dishing her portion of the stew into faux Tupperware, so it is reserved for her. I told her she can eat it tomorrow if she is up to it, and if after a day or so she's still not up to it, I'll freeze it for her. That lessened the tears but didn't eliminate them. Poor punkin.

I can see that. I think, for me, it's the whole "you can dress him up, but the brute always lurks underneath," i.e. the failed attempt at civilization.

I've revealed far too much of my subconscious today.

Jilli, you are too serene and warm to be in the wacky category for me.

And too elegant. There's a romanticism there, which is also what I was going to say about sj.

Oops, I forgot to say how precious that picture of Matilda is. JZ, she's so beautiful.

Also, my 'paraphilia' post was composed and submitted before I saw ita's explanation. I hate when I do that.

Teppy, are you lurking? I finished my five day course of Zithromax last night. I want a glass of wine, tonight. Normally, I wouldn't give this a second though, but because Zithromax stays active in the system for days 6 through 10, I don't want to screw it up. The pharmacy info sheet is unhelpful in this regard.

Is it okay to have a glass of wine with my stew?
