For the first time, I'm buying a big ad in a glossy magazine, for Domai. This is what is probably the biggest glossy for lesbians, Bound. (I inquired, and it seems it's named for the famous movie with the Susie Bright choreographed sex scene.) It'll appear in the decorating special issue in mid September. It's Australian, but it's in news stands world wide. (It's available on the iPad too, by the way.)
I've been sent a copy, and it's a really handsome and very professional mag. It'll be fun to see how the add does.
Now, for some reason I don't happen to have any close gay friends, male or female, or none I'm aware of*. It may be that some of my lady correspondents who found me via Domai are, but I don't ask.
So, I was just thinking about whether lesbians tend to be attracted to the same women as men? I think, probably so. For sure the girls on The L-Word are dang hot. So.
Except maybe they don't have the same fixation on big boobs as many men? Does anybody know anything about this?
*It's not unlikely that I'm just dense about it. I'm reminded of once in a cafe I used to hang out in all the time. I was a happy member of the Regulars, and we often chatted pleasantly. One of them was a very amiable slightly rotund middle-aged chap named Paul. One he revealed via an anecdote that he was gay. I asked something or other, and he said "Ah, you didn't know?" he held out his hand and said "hi, I'm Paul, I'm gay, pleased to meetcha". I got a bit flustered, but only by the suddenness of it, I don't have any special feelings pro or con this or indeed most sexual orientations. (Was it Twain who said something like 'I don't care, so long as they don't do it in the street and scare the horses'. A very sound slant on it.)
Me, I'm a lesbian trapped a man's body.
I don't think sexuality is quite important enough to define one's life. But when I do think about it, I sometimes wish I was a lesbian. I'm a little bit envious. For instance, just take lesbian cruises or getaways. Where can you find anything similar as a man? (If you like women, I mean.) Also, if I'm looking for erotica, I much prefer stuff without men in it.

Looks like a great magazine, in layout, design, and production quality.
Your ad will do fine there.
What's the circulation of the mag, by the way?
Thanks.
Mmmm, not sure, I think it is 15.000 or like that.
It already has ads for many different things, and mine will be more targeted than most, so I'm optimistic. Although actually these things are hard to measure, so I pretty much am doing it for fun, see how it goes.
One of my members once recommended the site in the letters column of an English newspaper, and it seemed that got quite a few signups.
By the way, the mag has a very nice and stiff cover, it really is very nice to hold, I imagine most readers keep them.
Eo, you are clueless about lesbians, but don't worry, most men are. That includes me!
However, having known a few, what I can tell you is that they are exactly like men when it comes to sexual tastes, which is to say: There are no general rules.
Men like all types of different women. And lesbian like all types of different women too. There are lesbians that like porn/erotica and others that don't—and some will like Domai while others won't. Hopefully you'll get more of the former given the magazine you're targeting.
Best of luck!
Thanks, my man.
I hear you Eo.
Deep inside me, hidden like in a shell, almost definitely lives a female being.
That's weird isn't it.
Maybe it's because I grew up without a mother?
I've never been attracted by things typically for men, but much more so by everything female.
And I'm glad I'm leading this interesting life. I'm not torn between sexes, rather I'd call myself asexual, too.
I think that under it all, we both have both sides.
And under *that*, we have none of them. Only a potential, capable of being anything.
I'd be curious to know what sort of response this advert brings: I would have thought that anyone; male / female / other of any persuasion, looking online for porn would already be aware of Domai, as it pops up with the regularity of all the other usual suspects.
Presumably then, you are reaching out to an audience already aware of your 'product' so unless the magazine offers some major incentive to sign up, I'm not sure I see the potential benefit?
Many people don't look for porn simply because they have found it to be poor and tasteless. And so, many of them have not heard of Domai.
In any case, repeated awareness must also help, otherwise I would not continue to get signups, I guess.
Like Coca Cola. They are omnipresent. Part of our lives.
Does the absence of a "gaydar" mean one's clueless... or just fundamentally un-prejudiced?
I for one know that I only ever suspect someone's gay if I bother/think to ask myself the question first. "Unless of course they're making it very obvious, sweetie."
"so long as they don't do it in the street and scare the horses"
LOL! More like scare the prude ladies in the carriages, I'll bet!
Horses are very unshy about sexual matters. Worst case scenario, the pheromones would turn them on... and compromise the smooth flow of street traffic, no doubt! :-D
You got any photos of your ad in that mag for us?
Beep,
Is that deeply-buried female being a lesbian? ;-)
Sexuality is only flesh-deep. ;-)
But this DOES include the flesh which is our brain!
Coca-cola is not part of MY life. I drink sodas about as little as I do alcohol. And I believe they are more detrimental to health. No doctor ever found out that a daily glass of Pepsi protected against heart attacks. Unlike red wine.
:-P~~~
It comes out soon, maybe I'll photograph it.
Actually there will be two, another one for GoddessNudes in a slightly more "earthly" mag they have called LOTL ("Lesbians On The Loose"!).
