Terry Southern and I wrote Candy for the money. Olympia Press, $500 flat. He was in Switzerland, I was in Paris. We did it in letters. But when it got to be a big deal in the States, everybody was taking it seriously. Do you remember what kind of shit people were saying? One guy wrote a review about how Candy was a satire on Candide. So right away I went back and reread Voltaire to see if he was right. That's what happens to you. It's as if you vomit in the gutter and everybody starts saying it's the greatest new art form, so you go back to see it, and, by God, you have to agree.

And then they made a Hollywood movie out of it. Fuckin' boomers.

John Norman purposefully wrote the worst novel he could, immediately got it published and before the first one hit the shelves he was contracted for 25 sequels.

Eventually he got sort of crazy and started taking the Gor novels seriously as art, though.

This is something that's been on my mind a lot. If you go through old nude magazines, you would see women's bodies go through obvious changes through decades. For example breasts in 50's were very different from 80's and both are very different from that of today. Is it because the popular tastes of the times favor different body types so only those types get represented, or do slight genetic changes occur after each generation?

When you hear about how much more fiction women read than men, this is what that means. Men look at images and videos to masturbate, women read dirty novels.

>What Is Skirt Length (Hemline) Theory?
The skirt length theory is a superstitious idea that skirt lengths are a predictor of stock market direction. According to the theory, if short skirts are growing in popularity, it means the markets are going to go up. If longer skirt lengths are gaining traction in the fashion world, it means the markets are heading down
I assume this also goes for bodies, tho i haven't completely worked out the idea, but I think it's all to do with economy. Say the coming is taking a down turn then more ample woman would be favorable since they have more storage for when the times are worse, the reverse would also be the case.

Tastes change, there's probably differences in bra shape, better diets (for breast development, not overall health). Also, in regards to asses, women didn't work out at all, and had lower caloric intakes. This meant they had underdeveloped glutes and little fat stored in the rear. This is to say nothing of intentional "taste making", however. Men have always enjoyed big milkers, wide hips, and fat asses. It's a human universal constant.

Now, however, fuddy-duddies telling us that ACKHYUAUUYUYLYLY Jesus wants you to like women that look like little boys can't control men's tastes through total media domination, and Jews shove porn down our throats as a sedative, so the prevailing trend is just giving men what we want (hint: it's the same thing our caveman ancestors wanted).

underrated post. Women love sex, they just don't love the idea of sex with most of you anons. Women got to have their sexual revolution in the early 60s, which is why it sells so well to women.

And I don't mean 'sex' like pinups and goofy adolescent 'sexy' advertising, I mean emotional and physical 'real' sex.

>>16877289
It was aesthetic. The appeal was to be hyper-thin, not curvy. by the 80s they started realizing if you work out AND eat well you get better curves

It’s Edgar Rice Burroughs style planetary romance with lots and lots of bdsm and sexual slavery. By about the sixth book it’s really just hilarious porn. Almost every woman is a sex slave. All the ships on Gor have live naked women strapped to their prows instead of carvings. That sort of thing.

It pretty good.
