Today, I received a message that was so wonderful, I decided to share it with you.
"Animan--
I've spent the entire weekend watching and rewatching all of your films on Gaytube. I stumbled upon School Fantasy on a porn site several months ago and was both entertained and aroused by Coach Ben's nasty exploits. I'd been trying to find more of your films ever since and on Friday, to my great surprise, I found Twister Party online. It is my favorite of all your films, not only because of its orgasm-inducing, manic sex scenes that defy reality but also because of its retro setting, colorful animation and its take on sex. Your characters inhabit a world in which same-sex sex holds no stigma or shame and is devoid of political complications, and I think that's what so many of your fans respond to. So much of gay porn is rough, mired in darkness and danger. Gay porn in 2012, populated by tattooed, steroid injected men who seem more concerned with looking good on camera and earning a paycheck, lacks the free spirited nature of your films. Each of your films exudes tremendous joy; watching them puts me in a very happy mood and a very horny mood. While 2012 porn stars busy themselves trying to be as gruff, aloof and masculine as possible, your characters, regardless of their size or station in life, delight in their sexuality and are genuinely secure in their masculinity. If all porn could be like your films I think there would be a distinct change in the attitudes and sexual attitudes of Western gay men."

I totally agree. Your work is always an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI see your cartoony work and your more traditional artistic works, and I've spoken with you and know how hard you work to perfect your craft and it only makes me want to try just as hard.
So many great artists have been an inspiration to me--it's hard to believe that I could be that to anyone else--but it's a nice feeling!
DeleteHere's something I learned: what you concentrate on will pull you along. If you concentrate on trying hard, things will go along slowly and tediously, and circumstances will "try" your patience!
But if you concentrate on ENJOYING the process--enjoying the drawing, the animation and the dream of the finished product (no matter how many months it may take), then the enjoyability factor will pull you forward, and it will be a much smoother, and successful ride. Don't think "try!"--instead think "Fun! and "Enjoyment!"
Totally agree :) i love the sluttyness though. Thats what i love about your vids, your guys can take so many loads and still want more. cannot wait for more of your work :)
ReplyDeleteI echo these sentiments! One of the many reasons I enjoy your work is that you make being gay something that isn't viewed negatively by the other characters. For instance, when the women see the gay sex, they aren't horrified at the guys being gay, they're uncomfortable because its sex, not because its gay sex. And you pull off the distinction marvelously. Like when the women storm out of the room grotesquely, they aren't grossed out by the gayness, they're upset because their man is with someone else. No ones waving a cross or condemning the gay sex. Another aspect which I respect you for, is your inclusion of all types, colors, and sizes of men. You could easily make everyone a caucasian bodybuilder, but you don't, you give the little scrawny guys and men of different ethnicities a chance to participate. As someone who is skinny and scrawny, I don't feel excluded when I watch your work. One last note, I also enjoy that your characters really do enjoy having sex with men. So much of contemporary gay porn involves straight men who are only in it for the money. And I don't support that. I want to feel accepted and comfortable, and that's how I feel when I watch your videos. Your videos make me feel that it's okay to be gay. And that's why I keep coming back!
ReplyDeleteThank you jt, for this positive, uplifting comment! I really enjoyed reading it, and I'm glad that my videos have something for you.
DeleteOh my god. Just watched TWIST PARTY for the first time today and it is without a doubt, the best animated anything that I've ever seen in my life. The funny thing is I totally relate to this party and have seen each of these guys before, each combination, each body type (LOVE the big guy with the gut gleefully riding reverse cowboy) every moan, reaction and position. I hope a copy of this gets preserved, locked in a vault, and reopened 50 years from now so that future generations can pinpoint when the change in erotic animation took place. Hopefully all of the political and religious restrictions placed on sex are removed by then so that it can return to being a carefree, culturally bonding experience again.
ReplyDeleteAnother letter of the year!! Thank you for the kind words--Animan is all powered up and ready to go back to the drawing board with renewed energy!
DeleteAniman I do enjoy your work
ReplyDeleteit is quite something to watch
to see sexuality to be as free and enjoyed by the participants as it should be
I'm always tremendously happy to read comments like this, because it means that my videos are helping people feel better about themselves.
