QT: Sensual Self-Indulgence I hope did not understand the challenge wrong, but there are many types of SSI. This is just one of them ...

Its also feed post, delivery timing. Not just content. As well as follower interest.

I mean it seems like you got it right to me.

EternaSky

This is an interesting exchange.

germancowboy

Well, now I feel bad. I am sorry, it was certainly not my intention to bring the issue of SA into play, far from it. As the topic was SSI, I was not even thinking of anyone else being involved here. But as these are older images, I did not yet tone down the AI suggestions/creations. I between I certainly became a bit more careful, e.g. in the Cleopatra images I reduced the AI suggestions more drastically, it typically makes the faces too red, it creates to much sweat, tears and glister. Sorry again.

germancowboy

Like I mentioned before, in the blog comments, I appreciate any kind of critique, and this is it seems eben more important, when it comes "from the other side of the gender gap". IN regards to suggestions, yes, in the "olden days" I asked AI what the face at that climax moment should look like and watery eyes/tears, sweat/glister, exreme flushing and the gasping mouth were always in there, no smiles, etc.

faerierealm

Oh don't worry, I know you didn't intend it, just giving you my impression from the other side of the gender gap. BTW when you say 'AI suggestions,' do you mean like Prompt Magic at NC, where it rewrites your prompt? If so, I wonder why the AI added tears and watery eyes? That's why some of these images look like the women are crying, as opposed to enjoying themselves.

faerierealm

Okay 'sweat/glister, extreme flushing and the gasping mouth' all make sense, but maybe remove 'tears/watery eyes' in the future? But don't just take my opinion on it, ask other women as well. Especially about #3, which is the most unsettling of all. In my opinion, #3 could be a still frame from a horror movie in which someone is doing bad things to her out of frame.

EternaSky

As for #2, the meaning of the tears goes soooo many ways for me. SA is one possibility, but because of the flushed face, it is less. If it was a full on red with pain look, the mouth will be in anguish muscles more tensed. To me #2 felt more like remembering someone who’s no longer there (for any reason)

faerierealm

Hmm I know what you're going for here, and 4 and 5 are okay, but from my standpoint, the tears / watery eyes in the others are rather unsettling. I'm fortunate enough to be in the half of women who've never been SAed, but I'm still sensitive to the topic.

EternaSky

Will have to ask my wife of #3 when she is in a less public place. As for what i shared so far are my opinions.
