Dolcett

I looked at Dolcett tonight and I'm afraid I just don't get it. The tentacles are nice, but the skewerings and beheadings and strangulations don't make me any less queasy just because they're treated as a joke. To each his own.

If you prefer your tentacles without snuff, here's a site that you might enjoy:

http://www.pornotopia.com

It's a membership site, and in the two months I was a member before I canceled the subscription last year, it was never updated. But the free tour is intriguing. And if they're still offering a cheap two-week trial membership, it's worthwhile for those of you who enjoy fantasy/sci-fi/mythological erotica and/or robotica.

There's an animation involving a, uh, date with a giant alien octopus creature, that was worth the price of admission - until I snapped out of the trance and remembered that I'm a member of the Baptist Church.

Hi Rhino,

Your post prompted me back to the Dolcett archives, because it reminded me of an image I seen just the other day. Perhaps it will be more to your liking? Certainly tamer then most of his work. Apologies for misinterpreting your wonderful drawings.

I think I also recall seeing a tusk image by him, but I can't recall where I found it.

I have a kind of porn-o-graph in my head.

There’s a horizontal x-axis that represents attention to detail and poetry of description, getting more detailed and sensually explicit as you move to the right, less as you move to the left. That’s the “descriptive power” axis.

The y-axis has to do with the extremity of the action: the things people do in the porn. The mnore extreme and outrageous the action, the higher it scaores on the extremity axis.

I can usually vaguely locate stories on this graph, and artwork too. “Two people hold hands”. That’s right at x=1, y=1. Most porn stays in the bounds of, say, x and y both <10

Dolcett is way up there on the y-axis. He’s left the bounds of the physically possible and entered the realm of the dreamlike and surreal where intercourse=impalement, kissing=devouring, and orgasm=death, the kind of thing you might well find in a dream. I think that’s a perfectly valid and even exciting kind of porn, even though its literal meaning keeps on intruding and creeping me out.

I wish he'd get someone else to do his lettering for him though.

The lettering. Yes, that's it. Also, the skewering. But mostly the lettering.



I agree that there's a dreamlike quality that could be erotic, but the humor gets in the way. I've read erotic stories that used humor to make the characters and/or narrator more interesting (a man with a wry sense of humor is sexy as hell). But in this case, the humor seems almost like an apology for the violence, and it distracts from the dream. I don't know about you guys, but erotic dreams are rarely funny while they're happening. Of course, when you try to explain a particularly strange one, it can be a laugh riot.

Didn't see this post until just now. Thank you, Shereads.
