Girls Loving Girls

Perhaps there is, I can't say I've held a poll or the like.
As I said in my first post in the thread I do agree, a good story is far more interesting than having a gay character for the sake of having a gay character, because it's risqué. Which unfortunatly I think some people do which to be honest is boring as hell to read/look at, just like hetro or lesbian couples can be. I honestly don't think a couples sexuality matters if the photos or story or what ever is actually interesting.

 

My girl is shipping and I'm saving for her girlfriend. (I'd planned on one doll, yeah, but then she tells me about how whole she felt just looking into Ema's eyes and how empty she feels now that she doesn't even know if Ema's alive...) I'm a bisexual female and while I like some yaoi/shounen-ai, I'm much more into yuri/shoujo-ai.

(I promise photostories once they get here... )

 

There are those that also might view male/male material as awkward as well. That being said, is that really a reason to not post it? Many post male/male knowing well that some don't like it, and it isn't like they get flamed for it.

Those that do not wish to partake, just don't. So why would it be a problem to post the female/female material? If they don't like it, good for them. They can find other material to look at.

They may find it awkward, but it isn't like it's being force fed down their throats.

 

@River-Well...I guess maybe I'm not wrong then? I don't know. That's a good point as well. That is, that the couples sexuality shouldn't matter as long as it's interesting.

@SomnambulistIn With Shin- I never said it wasn't wrong to post it, in fact, I said I wanted to see more of it on the boards, I didn't say that users who feel awkward with it had to look at it, or comment on it. All I was saying is that some users feel uncomfortable with girlxgirl, I didn't say what they should do about it, whether they ignore it and mind their business or comment on it.

 

Well, there is somewhat of a discussion related to this in the debate forum about objectifying men. I really do think it has a LOT to do with that. Because Yuri is seen commonly as a taboo or erotic thing by many girls. I'm not sure why, though I suppose it'd be the common "Oh! Lesbians kissing!" and similar sexual infatuation SOME (emphasis here, my own boyfriend hates it) men seem to have that puts a sour note on it.

However somehow, yaoi has no evil connotations to it. I have never understood this.. Objectification isn't more acceptable for either sex. Yes, technically any doll relationship is only for the owners satisfaction, but it seems that yaoi relationships get.. well.. grittier or dirtier somehow. So typically I don't read them, or any relationship photostory really.

That's just my opinion though and as I have said in many other places it's your hobby experience do what you wish with it! Even if things get too steamy for DoA there are many livejournal communities you could post to, some meant just for 'taboo' content. Have fun with your hobby, because what else are hobbies for?

 

It would be nice to see some girls with girls. I"m not saying its a must or that boys and boys are bad but it would be nice to have a change of scenery x3. But I prefer for the dolls to develop like you are planning. Everyone can post what they like as long as its tasteful. I would love to see some x3.

 

I was basically just saying that they'll be fine. Guess that post might've sounded like an attack, sorries. I really shouldn't post when I just wake up

 

I'd love you forever if you'd do girl girl stuff

I think most of it is because we seem to attract more Yaoi fangirls here and less people interested in yuri, hence less yuri. Though, quite honestly, I do plan to have a yuri couple here sooner or later

 

While there are going to be no "offical" same sex couples, I will admit my girls will have OOC "experiment" time just cause it gives me a chance to explore a road I don't often go down with stories. Although techincally Asuka and Seiya have done a bit of light kissing, but it hard explaining why I have Seiya the way he is (I use anime version of his character, not manga). But I could always explain that at a meet up lol.

I wish there was more girlxgirl stuff tho. Even on con doll tons and tons of yaoi and hardly any yuri. Makes me sad sometimes. The yuri stuff can be so wonderful. I will admit I am far more comfortable looking at yuri than yaoi, and I'm a straight woman ^^

 

No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so quick to become defensive. ^_^;;;;;

And here I am saying I don't like to make an arse out of myself. >_>;;;

 

hmm now someone mentioned the majority of girls here being heterosexual i guess it makes sense as to why theres so much yaoi. though im a hetero girl and dont like yaoi in the slightest...but thats a whole other debate ^.^;

i do agree it doesnt matter what sexual orientation the couple has so long as its an interesting shoot/story, but it would be nice to have a little variety ^.^;;

 

I think its because with girl dolls.. people see "innosence". And wouldnt want to couple them up with anyone. Not even boy dolls. I mean ofcourse it happens a lot. But... I hope you people get my point and I'm not too vague @_@

 

To an extent that might be true, with my first girl I never intended her to have a boyfriend, like she's so innocent there isn't a boy around 'good' enough for her in my eyes, I'd be way over protective...So it makes sense she start dating my other girl lol but at least I know Kit so i know they go well together.

 

This debate ALWAYS seems to come up, wherever you might rome. So in that respect, I'm gonna stay right out of it. I've said it all before, and I can't be bothered XD

So, moving on to the bit I think is more interesting... my main couple is a Girl/Girl couple - well, they're my main romantic focus, in any case. But ultimately, sexuality is in the background of the story - the characters are far more important.

Besides, I love my girls ^_^ They're so sexy and strong.

 

I recommend "Between Women: Friendship, Desire, and Marriage in Victorian England" It's great information of female relationships in the victorian era. I quite enjoy this sort of romance and I believe it's how i'd have my dolls fall in love should I walk that path.

In short it still makes for good reference material about women in victorian era and their relationships~

I'd probably go for a more Maud and Susan from "Fingersmith" if I were to do that kind of romance seems exciting two people from two different worlds meeting and falling in love~

 

Aww thank you raven, that really means a lot to me. ;~~;

I didn't notice this thread til just now, but if anyone's still interested here are my main girl-girl photo stories/shoots:

I agree with Sher on the first page. I'm a girl and I am not into yaoi either >__> I don't think there is anything wrong with it but I'm just not interested in it myself. I would also like to see more girlxgirl couples. I have seen some but not many so if you want your doll girls to be in love, go ahead! They would be most welcome

I am actually thinking about making my Unoas into a couple. But I think I'll keep them on the 'friends'-level for a while before i go any further..

 

animemom- please go for it. I know the prevalence of yaoi fans here makes it seem like there are no members who like girl/girl pairings, but there are some of us out here. ^_~

My Lishe and Soo are actually a lesbian couple (well...were...it's complicated, haha). Here is a photostory that I did with them.

As far as how far you can push it with regards to sexuality, I think you can go as far as anyone does with yaoi things- basically, suggestive photos but not obviously all-out sex. That's why Condoll exists. xD I'm one of the few Condoll users who actually posts lesbian photoshoots- male/male stuff dominates there, as well.

I also agree that it's better when the focus is on the story, not the sexuality. I think there are too many characters who are "gay" and really not much more developed than that. I think it ends up playing into stereotypes, too.

That's my two cents! :] hope it helped.

 

ainotorikomi- I liked your photostory!

As for the topic, I had a girl/girl couple, but I sold both of the dolls I am excited to see more girl/girl stuff, but digging it out of the mish mosh of the gallery here is what prevents me from seeing most of anything that comes out of this forum at all :..(
