Yes, there are people on AmPics like that. But you're claiming it's generally applicable without any proof. Seems more like this is a simple case of projection.lordonlyknows said:

SexyDreams said:I have more to say but wanted to address the other stuff separately.
First of all, to answer the initial question as to why my husband and I post these pictures. We do these pictures because first of all, it's a lot of fun. It's exciting for both of us. And yes, it does make me feel good to receive compliments and such -- but what I like most is that my husband finds me sexy and pretty enough to show off.
We try to have fun with this and sometimes do different themes with costumes. We have also taken more "hardcore" pics. With both types, we know there are people looking at the shots purely as masturbation material. We don't fool ourselves into thinking otherwise.
However, we believe that there are other folks who do enjoy the "theme" pictures because of the effort and art we put into them (that's why we like Beauty Beast's pictures -- sure they are sexy, but there's more to them than just "here's a pair of boobs". Not that there's anything wrong with those kinds of pictures either -- but our favorites are the more artsy ones).
I think that the people who leave compliments on the thread or in pms are sincere. I'm sure a lot of them like seeing "more," but I've had quite a few people say they like our pictures because a lot of them do leave something to the imagination. And at this point I don't think people are complimenting our pictures just to get us to show more, because we have shown more and they still leave compliments. Plus there are so many pictures on here of all different styles, of all different body types, etc. If they didn't honestly like what they were seeing on our thread they could certainly find what they were looking for someplace else. So why would they compliment if they didn't really like what they were seeing?
And I do believe that friendships can be forged on message boards, even on porn ones like this. Because with a lot of people they aren't just posting pics, they are engaging in conversation with their "fans" and getting to know them. So maybe it does start with sex, but what difference does that make?
StormCat said:I do see a lot of truth in this post as well. I just think it is too bad it takes some of your erotic photos of yourself and random posts on here to make you feel better about yourself. You shouldnt need douche bags like myself who are probably spanking it and telling you youre hot to make you ( a general you) feel that way. See what I am saying.
By the way, your pics are hot.....

It's been very exciting for both of us!! 
IrezumiKiss said:Something I've noticed about all those "telling it like it is" members below one hundred posts who post these charming, would-be reality checks against people having their fun and others appreciating it that, ultimately only serves to let themselves hear themselves talk above everyone else...and then you go to their profiles to try to find out more about them and it says "n/a."
Not that anyone HAS to fill their profiles out, but those that do often portray their personality and character behind the boobie, pussy and cock pics they post and wish to share and/or show off. Those others...I haven't really seen any "n/a" members that do anything else but talk and criticize. If they actually bother to stay as members long enough to develop something more.
Who are they really, behind their computer screens? Lord only knows!

Thank you for your honesty and candor. And I appreciate your appreciation of my work. Please do continue your patronage!lordonlyknows said:Heh, I've been a fan of your artwork since before you started posting in the AmPics, but that's more of a side note.
But uh, I'm not lying about anything here. My primary reason for visiting is not to meet anyone or create lasting bonds.
Lit is the last place I would go for that kind of relationship.
I am here to see people naked; be it women, couples, or whoever as long as I find them attractive. I don't think that makes me the bad guy; afterall what is the name of this section of the board?
In fact, a lot of what people think are developed bonds or relationships they've made with members of this board are a facade fueled by sexual agenda.
I don't think I should be put under the magnifying glass because I don't laugh, or squeal, or flatter, or use cute little
The reason that I haven't posted more than one hundred times is because I don't waste time with redudant (and dishonest) flattery of women who aren't actually that attractive anyway.
Maybe I can't say the same for you.
Also, thanks to Storm for a contribution from my side of the spectrum; good to know I'm not the only this seems obvious to.
Great post, Irezumi. (I've admired your posting style for a while.) I may get around to answering Lord's pronouncements (really, let's not call them posts) myself, but I'm in no hurry.IrezumiKiss said:Thank you for your honesty and candor.

However, the point you're leaving out in the general broadbrushing of everyone's reasons why they do what they do here and those that love to look at what they do here is that your opinion is your opinion for you. It does not speak of an absolute verity amongst anyone else.
We both may be male, we both may have cocks, we both may get it up for Cindy Crawford bending over in a lingerie ad, but you still have your tastes and I still have mine. When you make a point like the one quoted and bolded above, you need to establish that it's your tastes and you don't speak for anyone else. This is simple to do, either a disclaimer in the beginning or at the end of your post.
More to the point, to casually dismiss the pleasure and possible genuine appreciation of others to others here as just fake for masturbation's sake, while not giving up anything about yourself or contributing something to the dinner table, underscores the elitist undertone of the posts you're throwing up. As if in the reading of what others say, your eyes keep rolling in your head over the inanity of what horny people will post in order to keep their danders up...and then for some reason you just HAVE to say something that you think is going to throw some cold water on the masses and open their eyes to the "truth." I have read quite a few posters who have said the exact things you're saying, some in more louch terms with fewer words...and the one thing they have in common is that they're not giving anything of themselves while being critical of others.
I just don't understand why you and everyone else who's on your page thinks that you're giving others some sort of revelation or wake-up call or telling them what they're really about. Guy, I know what I'm about. I know what I like and I know what butters my bread. Don't tell me what I'm about. Don't tell me what I would say to the women here if I met them in reality. You let me and those other people worry about what may go on after connecting. If I decide to throw up a story of me and a member getting together in the positive or the negative, then you have the right of way to give your opinion since I put it out there. Until then, what you think about the relationships and agendas of people here is all about you and not them. And since you're not giving anything about you...hey...
Last time I checked, I thought this was an arena to celebrate and enjoy the differences of our sexual selves. How are those enjoying for them that which you find unattractive to you because of those differences constructing a facade? Just because their dicks are hard and their pussies wet? If this site was (and its members were) that pedestrian of thought, it wouldn't be called Literotica.
If you're not here to do anything except look, then that's fine. Just keep looking. If you're going to talk and give opinion, then do it in the way that gives respect to others, so that they can respect you for yours in turn. It's not hard to do and you won't be sacrificing YOUR "truth" in the doing.
No animosity here, Lord. Just telling it like it is.
