I still think I'm not technically a sadist, which at this point is probably wishful thinking. Because I find that in a crux context I'm turned on by expressions of pain.
Consider the two attachments. Most folks will recognize Makar's Shasha, who looks hot as hell writhing in apparent torment upon that studio cross.
But her face is pretty much blank; she's a model doing a shoot. Mind you, she's doing a hell of a job, but the overall impression is that it's just a job.
Then there's Damian's manip, what I've labeled "Penance." This girl is screaming in amazingly intense torment. She's not only got an audience to gawk at her humilation, but a crushing burden of guilt to expiate.
Guess which one I find more arousing?
Damain's fans will note that this manip is new. It's part of a Makar/Damian/Jedakk collaboration called "Roman Crucifictions," which should be available by the end of the weekend. Sorry, folks, it will NOT be a freebie, but as soon as a URL is available I'll post it here and elsewhere.
I'll take the first one. I don't like manipulated photos. For me, it's not some imagined situation that turns me on... it's the actual moment that happened in the real world... even if it is a model doing a shoot. My imagination can supply all the "agony" I need.
