This is the only genre that makes money and the money train isn't stopping any time soon. Short of a puritanical John Carpenter style government, there will always be demand for this shit.

The question is, can a dude write successful girlporn? This is the literary question.
I'm going to read this milking farm thing and see if I can't get a knack for how women write. I'm suspecting it's a bit like this:

>Minimal attention to details and the world, emphasis on personal impressions and feelings; the world as a set of things that make you feel different ways.
>Braindead, 12-15 year old brain simplicity.
Imagine a Middle School girl trying to "speed download" social gossip updates to a friend.
>Vanity, ego, zero accountability, petty delusions, cliches.
This will require a bit of research and marketing savvy just to collect up what today's cliches are. Fortunately, women are dead simple and just go on TikTok/Twitter and see what buzzwords come up a lot.
>Sultry language.
This one's tough. From what I understand explicit, gross language is what sells this shit and is the female equivalent of visually seeing porn. On the other hand, I have a feeling that I could write porn that is vastly more detailed and explicit than what women read and would alienate them. I have a feeling it's just stuff like, "sweaty" "bulge" "heaving" "cock!" "pulsing". Words that sound distinctly naughty but remain vague. It's not about visualizing, even through text, sexual mechanics. It's about breaking social taboos so women feel "naughty" and liberated from their neurotic sexual restraints.
>Female attraction
This is tough. How far do you go with "big muscles, ripped body"? How much do women want to read that, and when is it too much? Women like being dominated but they like to feel it was their choice to be dominated. As a man who understands women very well, I don't want to tap into their sexual triggers too accurately because that might lead to a sense of "revealing too much" about female sexuality which women don't like. They like most of it to remain implicit and simple.

Thought about writing some modern day gothic vampire kino that includes heavy incest (romantic), BDSM, and the mobster/mobwife archetype (basically the vampiric dynstasy is like a modern day mafia family with its business fronts, ties to tradition, and autistic obsession with the old country). Seems like I hit all the marks. Thinking of writing it under a prentious penname that sounds somewhat continential and mysterious, like I'm the member of an old aristocratic family.

I am writing my first erotica, which is, like all erotica, a series of sex scenes with flimsy plot to string them together. That's how I approached it: major sex scenes, then plot in between leading one into the other in a spiral of degeneracy. But I am an amateur writer who's doing it for fun, and I only pick this up when I'm horny, so I've been very prolific but didn't think a lot while typing away. Today I wrote the MC having a conversation with his wife after breakfast, and I needed the wife to have her hands busy so it wouldn't be just a back of forth of dialogue. Therefore in this scene she just get on her knees and starts sucking him off while they talk. Came out really hot, but I thought, fuck, maybe I'm writing too much sex in this porn novel. And I thought it was about time to read the whole draft today and it dawned on me there's not a single scene in this thing that isn't written like that. Just like in movies they talk while sipping a glass of whiskey, in my story they fuck. It's fucking strung together with even more fucking, there is not a single moment the MC's cock isn't getting sucked. Just porn nonstop. They always fuck. They're fucking while talking, fucking while fucking, fucking while discussing about the fuck they just had. It's insane, bizarre, but I love it this way, because it paradoxically makes the sex unimportant. Now that's how you make characters really shine. Every tidbit of character between the moans and flying ropes is like a glint of gold. Why have the characters do something other than fuck, when they can talk about that thing they did earlier while they do fuck, instead? I made sure there's a variety of situations so it's never boring. I'm very pleased with the way this is coming out.

Picrel is absolute midwit slop. Intelligence doesn't cause sadness at all. Poor self-control just causes you to focus on things that make you unhappy. Your intelligence just extends the amount of time you can invest into the particular topic.
It's like saying great TV signal causes anxiety. No, nigga, you are just watching prime time TV full of murder mysteries and exaggerated news broadcasts. You fell for a feedback loop.

It's important to note that over more than three millenia characters' shape underwent an evolution from earliest pictogtaphic forms to highly simplified and abstract (not unlike Chinese characters), so the precise character shape is dependent on the era, dialect and medium (epigraphy or clay tablets). This textbook used the style of the third dynasty of Ur; for my own curiosity's sake I've also written up Old Babylonian forms (they are taught in an esteemed Akkadian textbook "A Grammar of Akkadian" by Huehnergard, if anyone is interested).

Unfortunately, the pdf is a poor scan, so photos are of poor quality. There are resources that contain corpora of Sumerian and Akkadian texts with transcriptions, photos, and drawings of clay tablets though.

The perfect representation of the American intellectual base: a thick foundation of cartoons for children, grown out of cold war power fantasies and metastasized into corporate collectables. Build on that base, the lord of the rings and the bible, functionally equivalent as guidebooks for larping, some airport lit, some required reading from high school, and an economic understanding build primarily off a board game.

Reading is becoming a more female dominated hobby since moids just watch porn and play videogames.

I notice comfy boards tend to have more women in them. You can compare /r9k/ and crystal cafe and while the latter is less active it is much more comfy, wheras the former is cancer.
