    One thing I don’t get with making you desktop or setup anime girl themed. Doesn’t anyone visit you? Relatives? Landlord? Or anyone really. And what’s the point, to get an erection while doing a PowerPoint presentation?

      That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.

      Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.

        As someone with sexy art in the wallpaper rotation of all my devices…

        It’s just nice to look at?

        Sexual beauty can be appreciated in the same way as any other kind of beaty. And doing so doesn’t actually require being turned on, at least not in my case.

        Even when it happens, enjoying art and looking at porn are different things. With porn, arousal is the only point. With something artistic, arousal is just one sliver of the full spectrum of human experience a piece might provoke.

        People make custom PC builds to look cool for no other reason than that it looks cool. People hike to mountaintops just because the view is incredible. Architechts endeavor to make buildings both pleasant to look at, and be in.

        The sexy art isn’t pornographic to me. All I do, really, is enjoy looking at it for a moment as I go about using my devices. There is nothing perfomative about it. I could not care less what someone else thinks looking over my shoulder at my screen.
