@larry – you just broke my heart. 🙁 I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THINGS ARE REAL.

@tyson – posting that on FB is unlikely to get a reaction from me outside of a giggle. Of course we are being watched on the forums. The sinister feeling of it for me at least is a bit gone. It takes more than just watching on the forums to make me feel something.…[Read more]

@larry, please don’t break my heart and make me think those “gags” were anything other than Jessie being a teenage girl who wanted attention because she saw a camera.

That’s quite the theory.
But…no one’s watching me.

Except my cat.

I’m just curious to see what their reactions might be.

Man I feel like these FB posts are just designed to make me feel broken.

Out of curiosity…has anyone speaking with Stacey, Sarah, Macy, Noah or anyone else tried asking about the others? i.e. talking to someone from Sinclair Industries and asking about iConfidant, or the reverse? Or asking Otis if he knows of either?

I think we need a “starring Larry’s daughter” poster of the watering the plant line.

Honestly I think it was a joke.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
OMG
I’m going to PM you so we can nerd out more.

@theladyj – I can see on surface what you mean but I think there’s so much personally wrapped up for me (and many others here) in such a comparison that surface analysis is incredibly frustrating.

Personally I think that ALL of Tension and Lust come much closer to exploring bdsm than 50 Shades of Grey does. There is so much more in what we do…[Read more]

I’m still giggling over Jessie.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m watering the PLANT.”
“Bad choice of words. It’s a succulent.”

For a really, REALLY good read, try Carrie’s Story by Molly Weatherfield.

1. No, it is absolutely not. First of all, “sado-masochism” is not dominance and submission. Those are two separate concepts. Second, that book is about neither. It’s a very badly written book that is horribly researched and is primarily about an abusive relationship.

2. I don’t know what that means but ok. I’m just saying there’s absolutely…[Read more]

Ugh.
Mr. Grey is not about dominance and submission.
And while I don’t think your point is wrong at all, it would take a miracle for me to want to submit to Noah, based on what I’ve seen thus far.

@maxzumstein – I have no Eco to bring up sadly but you feel free – I’m reading this one Baudrillard thing that was sent to me by a performance studies colleague based on a conversation we had about Tension, actually! And no, I just studied theater – the reason why I’m reading this stuff now is because of Tension & Lust. I’m primarily a designer…[Read more]

Oh my god Larry I love your daughter so much!

@mike – hahahahahaha!

ok well right now I’m trying to parse an excerpt on Baudrillard’s “Simulacra and Simulations,” which actually might have quite a bit to do with Lust.

“In “Simulacra and Simulations” Jean Baudrillard outlines four stages of an image: an image as a reflection of a reality, an image masking and perverting a reality, an ima…[Read more]

@mike, don’t get me started on defining “reality.”
