I agree with Ashton and the others. Besides i am sure some of the other guys wouldn't mind seeing there avatars in some pinups. _________________ yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. that's why it is called the present.

While I am a female member here and have no clue of the numbers of our male and female members here, I do think that it would be nice if we had some additional pinups of the male characters of Bon Bon. I want would like to have some varitety here. Then again, it's really up to Vanessa (and then again, it would hurt to ask her ). |

((As lame as it sounds... I'd like to see a date. With William and Mary. I mean, it would be pretty awesome.
Something along the lines that Mary convinces William to help her sneak out of the house, and see the town... Maybe Mary just wants to look around, while she's waiting for Red to reurn again or something. Anyhow, so.. what starts out as just Mary cajoling William to help her sneak out, becomes... a date.
They could do stuff like goto the zoo... play hopskotch with some of the kids... have caracatures of themselves drawn in charcoal... play croquet... eat icecream along a bridge all sorts of stuff... ala the date montage from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
And the plot possibilities are endless. Mary, who starts off still all... huffy over past events with William realizes how much of a gentleman William is, and, thusly, starts to have affections for the "gay" butler. Which can lead to all sorts of love-triangle complications, to an already complicated love-tetrahedron.
So... I'd love to see a date with William and Mary. Yeah, I know... lamely romantic. Sue me. I'm goth. I like romantic stuff.
And a swimming competition I mean, okay, guys don't want to see Beefcake... but if they're competing to see who is the best swimmer at Bon Bon Lake or something, they'd have to be in swimtrunks, right? You don't go swimming fully clothed. )) |

im a fan of her artwork, but it is a business. gotta do what the consumer demands.
on a side note tho, i would like to see a few male pinups. also bat for home and away and would love to have that change of pace. As for members being pinups, well i attained my royal status just recently and dont really know how that works yet, but i can imagin a few guys id like to see in provocative poses and outfits  _________________ Mr Writers Fursona (Updated)

hrrmm..I think it might have a little to do with keeping the site from getting overrun with non heterosexual males demanding male gay artwork.
The homosexual furry community is akin to the BORG in its appetite and force. I have seen it operate so I Know what it can do. I respect Vanessas rules to keep a heterosexual based comic, But it bothers me that she is useing the excuse of Heterosexual membership cancellation, because the small amount of hets that would actually cancel would never be noticed under the large amount of gay furries signing on and taking over They would immediately start assimilating the furries here. |

I'm sure none of us are demanding that she make Gay artwork. We were simply voicing our opinions on whether or not, we'd like too see it. _________________ don't worry I'm just your average quantum physicist

A summary of the discussion so far:
Woman:
"I want male pin-ups too!"
Several other women:
"Heterosexual men can't handle male pin-ups and will stop paying for the site if any is added."
Several men:
"We don't mind, bring it on!"
Woman:
"Since men can't handle male nudity, maybe we could hide it in something men love, like physical competition!"
Female artist and site-owner (together with someone I would guess is a man at least):
"Heterosexual men can't handle male pin-ups, so we can't do it."
So far, no man has said he would cancel his subscription due to there being male pin-ups on the site. So where does this notion (among women) come from?
Reminds me of my girlfriends reaction when I told her one of my friends who tends to be cuddly might be gay. For all that the gay men are loved by the women as friends and icons, it's obviously important that we straight men don't cosy up "to much" to them. No wonder there are a lot of insecure guys who have this great urge to show the world that they are not gay by hating everything (male) homosexual. It's all about giving the ladies what they want...
Personally, I believe Gerbilcheeks is right. The male homosexual furry community could probably support this site just as easily as the heterosexual community. But then again, maybe Vanessa simply doesn't like to draw that kind of stuff? Maybe it's she that prefers to draw women and heterosexual situations?
And if that's the case, then there is nothing wrong with it. But I don't think it should be hidden behind a claim of male homophobia and intolerance.
As for drawing a male pin-up or two, that will of course not be enough for the gay-community, but neither is it likely to scare away any greater number of heterosexual men. I don't think those guys (the ones that are so disgusted by the very presence of pictures of naked men the don't have to look at, that they would cancel their membership) would go for the rather effeminate male characters that already make out the main male cast of the comic. |

I'm sorry, but an open sexual intercourse between males does not correspond to the concept of the site as it was conceived, although of course there will be innuendos and the like. Moreover, the "entertainment staff" of the Delight Castle is composed only by girls...( except for Ronald and Jeff for now).
thats what vanessa said. right there.
and as symphony says its in the link
http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=53794
go check it out for yourself. vanessa wont do an actual scene like that. there may be hints to it but if i'm reading this right then there wont ever be an actual scene.

What i meant with my topic was
a few royal male pinups, meaning in sexy pants or something, some chestwork
tht's how people seemed to understood me i think.
i aint talking about gay talk, i just click for fA if i want to see that (no offense guys i have nothing against gay images, but i can't see the 'intercourses' myself i'm afraid,)
as for my topic, i was talking
that always the ROYAL woman and pbb woman can chosen in actions,
it's always betty X royal guy or royal girl X royal guy
and i kind of feel left out, i'm here member for years, ok i aint a royal member but does anyone think of tiny lil me? t-t
that's what i meant, and not only that, i'm sure there more members who wish to join those fun thingies too, even if we don't get picked :/
there members on forum that contrubute long like i have that arn't member, so i really keep thinking, they must feel a lil left out like i do.
hence i even get critique about it when i try to 'merge'myself into a few pbb things, I'm not going to go very deeply into that, but Ashton already refered me as hyper sensitive, adn I am for real a hyper sensitive person.
But each time I try to get 'into' and make some 'effort' i get these 'hidden' remarks of saying SHORTLY ': NO
sorry this had to get off my chest, it's been bugging me for weeks now;.. >_>
and if my english sucks, yeah i know. i'm from Belgium, i'm dutch speakin' I aint got a high degree in english though i did mention to get an A- each time, or how you call it.
sorry i'm just gah, right now. _________________ Dreams come True if you B E L I E V E in me...

I'm not sue I understand your post. Do you mean that you'd like to have a better selection of male characters for you to from in a sex scene. Or would you like someone to pick your fursona for a partner in a sex scene?
I've talked about a lack of non-royal member males in the comic as well, but I understand that it's how the situation is. There's more opportunity for a host of female characvters, and probably more demand for them as well.
I'm rather surprised that you'd so want such a scene in the comic. First off, I always thought that you weren't interested in seeing your fursona in a sex scene. And secondly, I always kind of assumed that you weren't that eager to have your fursona appear in the comic either, since you've picked a fursona that doesn't follow the rules set by Vanessa. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

Think she meant how the women seem to pick what goes on most of the time and are shown most often and would like a slight favor of men shown more often. @_@
And dont think its as much her wanting to be in a sexual scene, just to be noticed more often than the other ladies here who would be in a situation as that and get noticed more. _________________ Fursona Info.

I think you belong here just as much as everyone else. I'm just saying that the rule is that people can't get avatars that are supernastural being or fictional species or impossible hybrids. I think that several members have been asked to change their fursona because of this. I merely assumed that since you've made a fursona that's both a species of your own creation, and a supernatural being, that you perhaps weren't that interested in seeing it appear in the comic.
I'm sorry if I've upset you, but there's really no need to snap at me like that and make it seem like I'm trying to make you stop posting. I was just pointing to something in your fursona that others here have been told wasn't okay in the world of PBB. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

s'not the first time i have to read comments like that
and it's not the first time it came from you either.
i really feel like i have to swallow a lot and hold my tongue.
and my chara's supernatural probably but not inside pbb and I choose with whom and what i want to have 'sex' with.
just like how you often state it yourself.
I changed my chara for pbb for one thing and that would be the comic i'm doing in the section, you know that lil old thing, that i even want to quit I even send mail to remove it, cause that's how good i feel about it.
And i'm not going to change my art nor my chara for anyone, I just only choosed her nickname to be there on this forum.
But i'm tired of reading everytime how i get pushed aside,
but yeah, i'm used to it just tired of letting it happen over and over and over again with those comments.
If you maybe read my describtion on the avatar's request you read that my chara doens't even have powers to be on pbb, that's how i changed it, i even asked: 'would you like it if she'd do a stand up comedian'?
so i could find a lil spot.
that's how considerate i was.
I'm not going to appoligize for my burts against you, cause i had to swallow already a few comments like these coming from you and another royal members. I'm really getting tired of it. _________________ Dreams come True if you B E L I E V E in me...

I'd appreciate if you can please let me know where I have ever insulted you or your fursona. All I have done here is treat you like everyone else, and said that there are things that Vanessa has said aren't okay in avatars. You're not the first to be informed of these things, so I really don't understand why you choose to make it personal and say how mean I've been to you.
I really do not like being accused of something I haven't done. It's easy for you to say that I've said this or that, because there's no real way for me to defend myself against it, if you won't even give me the chance to explain myself or defend my actions if I don't know where I've done something wrong. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

Check a few of your own made topics, where my questions towards you got either ignored, taken wrongly. or where people say: i don't comment on your art because "bla bla bla" ask to be more specifiek => ignored afterwards
i'm not going to dig right now for the next 4 hours into all those topics to get it out, i have better things to do right now, but if you look into your own topics, it's on those it happened, .
If you think it's cause of 'misunderstanding' it could be, I'm hypersensitive and my english isn't my prime launguage, but to me it sounds I'm not doing good at all, while I try.
I'm not active on other places, try to give a good time whenever I can,
but it doens't sound like fun like: "oh this and that isn't good"
and you REDEsIGN and you upload and get the same comment while I fixed the problem and then also hear: your art isn't good ths and that,
yeah that aint helping either <- i'm not saying 'you' said that,
Right now i'm tired of it, i have had enough to go through the past few weeks, i'm going for a rest, now. I'm tired I'm crying over other subjects now, i'm freakin' tired. _________________ Dreams come True if you B E L I E V E in me...

The only thing that comes to mind is me asking for a thread to get back on topic. I'm sorry if you may have been insulted by that, but I don't personally see anything wrong in asking for people to stop the offtopic posting. I'm not sure how many times you've asked me questions here. I'm sorry if I haven't always replied to you, but I don't always have anything to say, or I may simply forget to respond. And I hardly ever comment on people's art here, and I've never said anything negative about yours.

Here I might sound a bit mean, which is because I really don't like being accused of these things, but you shouldn't make such accusations if you aren't willing to provide examples. It's really frustrating to sit here and be accused of these things, when I'm unable to see what I've done wrong.

You're not the only one who feels this way. Communicating in a forum like this, it's easy to misunderstand each other. I don't know how many times I've felt that there were others who didn't like me or my fursona. I try to ignore it and stay positive, because I believe that it's most often nothing at all. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

then you might sound a bit mean, have you noticed how many topics there are? with how many pages? I'm not going to look all around so I can show you with: 'oh you've said this! and this and that'
I have really other things to do then looking through all those pages, i need to work on my commissions and make money right now, i got deeper problems then a BF i just had towards you.
No offense,
I got photoshop running, I got a mother who's worried sick about money, my mouth is still open with threats, i just BF'd my friends online and now I need to make that up. So no, But in the future i'll let you know DIRRECT when you and I have a misunderstanding, how's that? _________________ Dreams come True if you B E L I E V E in me...
