Jul. 27th, 2007 09:35 pmThanks to conversation of the virtual kind with
kdotdammit(Bless her) I considered the sex lives of comic book superheroes.
I'd love to open this debate up to all and sundry....
It started with Reed Richards, Mr Fantastic.
Now honestly, if you could stretch your appendages and warp and mould your body into any shape imaginable, you'd spend all your time in bed masturbating in unusual and obscure ways, or you'd be a porn star.
And, as I have little else to occupy my time excepting stuff I'd rather avoid, like forms or work or such, from there I thought more.
Let us take the example of Superman.
Faster than a speeding bullet etc, stronger than a locomotive....
His ejaculation would probably penetrate battleship armour plating. There's just no way Lois Lane could get on the end of that without becoming bedroom geography. Or wallpaper. Superman's first fuck would end in someone's death (don't point that thing in my direction). Even him wanking is liable to turn the environment into a body armour only area.
As for girls that fancy 'Swamp Thing'...I'd rather not go there if it's all the same to you.

Adora Belle Dearheart in Pratchett's 'Going Postal'.
Probably Catwoman too, but I'm stretching the brain here.

Date: 2007-07-27 09:57 pm (UTC)--a superhero is full"of unprecedented, physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest.”
--Extraordinary powers and abilities, relevant skills, and/or advanced equipment.
--Captain America however does process above-human endurance and an immunity to certain diseases
--Most superheroes use a descriptive or metaphoric code name for their public deeds.
--Form-fitting clothing, often referred to as tights or Spandex, although the exact material is usually not identified. Such material displays a character’s athletic build and heroic sex appeal..
And on and on.

Date: 2007-07-27 10:29 pm (UTC)Superman is a different story. If he were really super, he would be able to control himself, no? Otherwise, he's just "way too rough" man, and that's not super at all. That's just sadism on a limited scale.
Swamp thing would go for Rosanne Barr. Ted Arnold would get jealous and wonder what the difference was. The public would wonder as well.

Date: 2007-07-28 08:44 am (UTC)Not just his penis, but his tongue, fingers, other bits....stppling the surfaces that touch etc, no, that guy wouldn't ever get out of bed - don't forget, a genius (as RR is portrayed) slaved to the pleasure principle is still going to have some creativity to spare. Hell, he could even grow another fake one alongside if he wanted. Or Boobs. Or whatever the heel he felt like.
It's not just the size he can mess with, is what I'm saying.
What about the super villains?
Does Doc Doom get out of his Armour? Is Lex Luthor a Masochist? Two-Face certainly has problems that I'm only beginning to speculate upon.

Date: 2007-07-28 08:34 am (UTC)I have DK2, and you're right about the Supes/WW connection and offspring.
Thinking about it there's also a reference to them doing such in DK Returns. But that's more about Genealogy than whether it's actually possible (or desirable) for superhero types to shag.

Interesting combination of skills. I'll have to catch your act next time I'm over. Fortune favour you.
