This story about the the market for Bigfoot erotica was only plausible up to a point. Obviously, I have no problem believing that an attractive woman might have sex with a hideous hairy grunting beast, and even enjoy it, but the little details tripped me up.
1. The Sasquatch’s name is…Leonard.
2. The author is raking in $30,000/month with her line of cryptozoological porn.
OK, that last one might not be a matter of implausibility, but envy.
“Obviously”?
Oh.
Not all that different from Anne Rice’s vampire porn, if you think about it.
$30,000/month. I wonder if there’s a market for catapult porn.
so much new I has learned!
-there’s bigfoot porn
-there’s an actual market for bigfoot porn
-someone has already taken advantage of this market
-it is a very profitable market
my mind overfloweth with knowledge.
yup, but it looks like this:
Rule #34 in action again.
“There is porn of it. No exceptions.”
@5, no there are exceptions. It’s just that they’re absurdly specific.
There really is a huge market for erotica involving an ordinary woman having sex with (often with the goal of reproduction) a monster. Bigfoot, intelligent talking dinosaurs, tentacle monsters, etc. They’re often thinly disguised rape fantasies as well, with just enough “I am consenting of my own free will” shoved in there somewhere to get past the TOS of the various ebook outlets. Based on reader feedback people I know got*, the audience appears to be predominantly straight women.
*I used to be part of an indie author group that discovered how they could make massive amounts of money. As I sit here in poverty I kind of regret not following their lead to riches, but there are some things I just can’t do.
# 4 Ichthyic: I thought you were going to point to this clip. Starting at 1:45
heh, you’re right, that’s better.
@6, that’s where Rule 35 comes in: “if there is no porn of it, it must be created”.
Also, of course some women like sex with hideous, hairy, grunting beasts, otherwise I’d have never managed to have a sexual relationship.
Judging by the amount of interspecies porn* I’ve found it’s not too terribly uncommon…
(We’re talking human/furry, not bestiality.)
Yes indeed. Air cannons blow.
Well, you know what they say; Big feet = big personality and sense of humor.
There was a comic (partially) about this very thing. Scandal Sheet. It wasn’t bad — but it stopped running in 2009.
I always thought it was “If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions”.
One of the most interesting things about this rule is how “old” a lot of the porn about these things is…
The Greeks and Romans had their fantasies about Centaurs and Satyrs whilst Lancastrians, no doubt, had
fantasies about Yorkshiremen. It’s been going on for millenia
heh…
but, fwiw, they do use a lot of trebuchets for punkin chunkin as well…. it’s a whole class there in and of itself.
if a guy cooks and cleans, a lot of women will forgive a little back hair
R. Crumb did that awhile ago (“Whiteman Meets Bigfoot”), except it was with a man and a female Bigfoot…
After all of yesterdays posts and comments I want my funeral to consist of me being hurled via trebuchet into a volcano while a hairiness of bigfoots (bigfeet?) cheer. I’ve decided the term for a group of bigfooties is a hairiness.
“I’ve decided the term for a group of bigfooties is a hairiness.”
I like it :)
The hairiness of bigfoots could also be having an orgy if that’s what bigfooties do. I ain’t here to judge.
re @19:
confession: my privilege of maleness made me always think of Sasquatch as only male (without ever even thinking of reproduction, etc), i.e. I never even considered that there would be female Sasquatches.
Nevertheless, I was beaten to the Rule 34 observation. Too late, I am. [shaking fist at sky]
I’m flashing back to Venture Brothers, and it’s Million Dollar Man/Sasquatch romance.
@6
I’ve always heard rule 36 – if it exists then there is a fetish for it, and rule 36a, if there is a fetish for it, then there is a porno. Therefore, if it exists, then there is a porn of it.
Hang on, hang on! There’s a market for Entwife p0rn ?
There’s an entwife sleeping in one of my cabinet of curiosities. (Same one with the TARDIS occupied by the extremely angry mouse — not sure if that is a coincidence or not…)
Entwife p0rn means that if I could wake her up, and she’s agreeable, then $$$profit !
There’s an entwife sleeping in one of my cabinet of curiosities.
Oh, is THAT where they are.
I have it on good authority that trebuchets do, in fact, swing.
Yes. Yes, they do. I did enjoy the torsion machines in the Punkin Chunkin video since I’m currently building one!
Must admit, that’s a hell of an ‘O’ face on the cover. ROOOOAAARH!!
+1 for venture bros reference.
