Physical Feedback Spotlight: TeenyGinger

With the advent of accessible porn distribution methods like pornhub, manvids, and chaturbate, the internet has seen a surge in amateur pornographers. Obviously lowering barriers to entry and getting more artists working in a space is always a good thing for the medium in question, as it allows for a larger variety of content to appeal to more people's individual tastes, and in the field of porn the particular effect it's had is an increase in personality-driven content, thanks to the distribution platforms' proximity to social media. For example, there's a pornhub user who goes by the pseudonym TeenyGinger , uploading mainly JOI-style videos, but occasionally vlogs or sex toy reviews (with demonstrations, of course.) The tone of these videos is uniformly positive; she makes an effort to convey a sense of herself and the viewer just having some fun together, with her JOI commentary coming across as very encouraging and each video ending with a bit of cooldown where sh...

Physical Feedback Guest Post: "Merry Box" by Kuro Tengu

This week Nicole is on break for Christmas, so enjoy this guest post by DC Kurtz, who can be followed here.   You can read Merry Box here A common thread among people who watch Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time is "Why don't these people just go to therapy?" That's not a bad question, but I think there's a better one: why don't they just fuck? I mean come on: Evangelion is dripping with sexual tension, even on a surface level symbolic analysis. The imagery of penetration is present in virtually every single episode: The insertion of the entry plug requires penetrating a hole in the back of the Eva's neck and defeating an Angel relies on penetrating its AT field, which is referred to as "the light of the soul" and is intrinsically tied to the individual ego. Now let’s go a little deeper, past the levels of Freud, and we see that NGE goes above and beyond into the realm of Georges Bataille. See, Bataille posits that during penetrat...

Physical Feedback: VR Porn

We're in kind of an interesting place right now; VR is finally starting to look viable as gaming platform, but it hasn't hit a point where it can properly saturate the market, so at this point all we've really got are a bunch of early experiments with the format. Despite this, the directions that it pushes things in are pretty interesting. Of course there are the obvious things; I don't think anyone's going to be shocked that most of the VR porn videos out there are shot from a POV perspective with a dude sitting or laying on his back. There are subtle differences, however, in the acting and, at times, framing of the scenes. I don't want to oversell this, it's usually still very much a traditional porn video, which is to say decidedly not the best that the art form has to offer; There's a reason I haven't reviewed any live-action porn videos on this blog, and that reason is that I don't know how many ways I can say "This [is/is not] hot an...

Physical Feedback: "VictimGirls R: Molestation Eradication Campaign" by Asanagi

Content warning: molestation, rape, sexual violence Last week I spoke pretty positively about one of Asanagi's VictimGirls doujins, and this week I thought it might be interesting to provide a counterpoint with an entry in the series which I find it difficult to enjoy, primarily on moral and cultural grounds. VictimGirls 21 took place in a clearly fantastical setting and involved the use of magical garments and mind control, which made it very easy to compartmentalize the morality of the scenario and simply to project onto whatever participant most appealed to your desires; VictimGirls R: Molestation Eradication Campaign , however, takes a... different approach. The book portrays a feminist movement against molestation in which young girls appoint themselves as unofficial anti-molestation activists and publicly call out molesters on trains. Said movement is almost immediately revealed to be comprise primarily of self-serving, sadistic, or suggestible girls partaking in spurious...

Physical Feedback: "VictimGirls 21 - Livestock: Happy End" by Asanagi

Content warning: rape, bestiality, degradation, fantasy racism The artist Asanagi, publishing h-doujins through the group Fatalpulse, has acquired something of a reputation on the portions of the english-speaking internet that read eastern pornography, and for good reason; they make masterfully-crafted comics in which absolutely awful things happen to the "victim girls" mentioned in the title of their longest-running series, and for a lot of people this is understandably off-putting. That said, a lot of people tend to overlook the nuance of how this is presented; it's generally not just straight up misery porn, at least not the way it's often handled. Usually the situation is presented as something the "victim" actually likes quite a lot, and simply didn't want to admit, generally because of societal factors. Now don't misunderstand, obviously the scenarios portrayed in these works would be absolutely immoral in a real-world setting; "Sh...

Physical Feedback: Train Rush

Today's subject is a comic by furry artist Chinpo, which has very little in the way of writing, comprising almost exclusively of filthy filthy sex. And this time around I'm not even being quite so ironic as usual in calling it "filthy," as the actions portrayed here consist of public exhibitionism, which aside from being illegal in most places is also a generally not-okay thing to do in real life since it means involving third parties into your sexual activity without their foreknowledge or consent. Early in the comic the two participants are simply getting it on in a technically "public" place, but one in which nobody else is immediately present and where they're trying to avoid being actually seen; this changes toward the end, when one creampies the other while facing her toward an open door, on the other side of which stand several commuters. The intent is clear Furthermore, the girl knows all this, she's clearly reluctant to get into sexu...

Physical Feedback: Nekomimi Maid Futaba no Hon (A Catgirl Maid Futaba Book)

Read here if you're interested I'm tempted to call the phenomenon of h-doujins with ironically direct titles a subgenre in itself, it's something I see more and more as time goes on. There's a seemingly endless deluge of titles fitting the template of "A [fetish] [fetish] [character] Book," usually with some lampshadedly-weak excuse plot to get straight to the titular [fetish]-[fetish]-[character] fucking, which is all well and good as far as I'm concerned. If all you really want to do is get right to the point of a character you like or find attractive getting fucked in a particularly appealing way, more power to you, and thank you for making that apparent right off the bat. Well, in this case it's maybe not quite so up-front. There is a really unexpected sudden urination scene near the beginning of this one. But I've dealt with worse unexpected fetish material popping up, that's no big deal. No, my main gripe with this comic is the fac...

Physical Feedback: Hot Shit High Chapter 1

Hot Shit High Chapter 1 can be read here . It's time to introduce another character who will surely be making repeat appearances over the course of this series: Erotibot . A western porn artist who takes stylistic influence from both live-action western pornography and japanese h-doujinshi, Erotibot made a huge impression on me with the first work of his that I saw: Hot Shit High. The setting is a loving pastiche of exaggerated americana; a high school where the cheerleaders are so cartoonishly promiscuous as to have no qualms removing their panties in the hallway, the jocks are utter pigheaded oafs who maintain social standing through intimidation and threats of gun violence, and should a trigger be pulled in between classes, a teacher will burst out of the nearest classroom, blazing away with a tommy gun and exclaiming "NO SHOOTING IN THE HALL!" I wasn't kidding Our story focuses on Marvin, a lame-ass nerd who the head cheerleader Sharlene has set her si...

Physical Feedback Spotlight: Fenoxo Text Games

One of these days I'll probably write up something taking a deeper look at Fenoxo's individual pornographic text adventures and possibly comparing them, but for the moment I'd like to spotlight his work in general, particularly Corruption of Champions 1 and Trials in Tainted Space, as the two that I'm most familiar with. These pieces are interesting not for their specific handling of any individual fetish, but rather the breadth of tastes they cater to, each featuring fairly hefty character customization systems (down to allowing the player to take perks in anal elasticity and semen production and such) and a wide array of horrifying and/or arousing situations for the player to land themselves in. Additionally they feature surprisingly in-depth system by which various aspects of the player's character can be changed over time; get fucked by something a bit bigger than you can easily accommodate, and you'll find your anus stretching over time. Eat certain types...

Physical Feedback: "Cats Can Fetch" by FluffKevlar

I'm planning on covering a fairly wide and varied collection of good porn on this series before I start dipping my toe into the mediocre or outright bad, and to that end we have our second subject of scrutiny: Cats Can Fetch , in which FluffKevlar depicts a wonderful little encounter between a catboy twink and a canine futanari. This one opens with a lot more plot setup than Come On! Shoot Faster did, and while it relies much less on suspension of disbelief, it's unfortunately just kinda boring, so let's fast forward through most of that. All you really need to know is that canine girl Lia has a crush on catboy Twix, and he thinks she's cute but in order to really be interested in a relationship he needs the cock. Fortunately, Lia is equipped with such weaponry, and shows him as much in one of the private study rooms. From this point it goes exactly where you'd expect it to; blowjob to anal to untimely discovery leading into a comedic ending. In the broad strok...

Physical Feedback: Introduction

I've decided to start reviewing pornography on this blog, mainly because I feel it's the one category of art that just doesn't seem to have much criticism going on in it. Most art critics have this silly idea that pornography is somehow beneath their notice, and most people who view it as a valid and important form of expression don't seem inclined to become critics of it themselves (outside of occasionally complaining about industry trends) so I figure I might as well pick up the torch myself, in the hope that the barrenness of the market might afford me some visibility and eventually lead to a cultural shift. If not, well at least I'll have fun whacking off to smut and then blogging about it. It's a win-win situation. So: Physical Feedback will update weekly, on Sundays, partly because that's when I'm free to spend some time writing about porn (after spending some time using it as intended so I can actually focus worth a damn while writing about it) ...
