Artists are SEX-monsters say researchers

[Recursive_End]

Just found this on the net:

(kinda true for me :P)

(edit: i dont really have anything in mind for the title, so i took your's...hope it doesnt bothers you :S)

Their creativity seems to act like a sexual magnet.

Once i show a girl my art, she melts. Its like liquid panty remover. But seriously.. being an artist did get me my fair share. :)

[Poohgee]

Did I get anyone's attention ?

I wanted to post this .. but you were quicker.

Well it will apply to me when I get a life .. Ill be a professional creative - sex-monster .

:)

Actually that is the reason I dont like Picasso anymore ... he didnt care at all about women ... or certainly very little.

Until a fellow female artist came along & ...... .

Does that mean that people who love uncreative jobs are boring & unexperimental in bed ?

:D :)

Damn I didnt remember that thread titles are only shown ... well ... recursive end I think you need to change the title .. we could be having a long discussion & time-wasting with this in the lounge.

BTW I like the new forum changes !!! :)

whatever, worked for Bukowski

[WingManMedia]

hahaha... so so true... interesting article

[Dizon]

depends on how weird you are.

[Quicksilver]

"Moreover, it's common to find that this sexual behaviour is tolerated in creative people.
Sooo true. If someone, like a science/history teacher, spoke of it openly I'd cringe.

[corky13]

now its officially...*calls girlfriend* Hey my dear , youve got TEh 1337 OFFICIaLY SEX00rz MONST000RRR !!!1111Elven in ya bed/bathromm/kitchen/stairwel/toilet/garden/livingroom/car/whatsoever !!!"

nah...i guess its true....but i have to say before ive got 18 my live was a soup of boredom...

[Ilaekae]

I hope I'm not offending here, but...can you imagine sex between an accountant and an insurance salesperson? I need dirty finger nails, bleeding papercuts and the smell of paint before I'm in the mood...

"...including a sample of visual artists and poets and schizophrenic patients..."

Ha, schizophrenic patients are getting more then I do.

The good news is we can now start eating more junk food and stop going to the gym.

Done and done!

yeah, but you run a fine line there. If you get too weird, then we run into things like s&m, butt plugs, and tubgirls. nobody wants that.

This Thread Turns Me On

[scumgrinder]

now that's a stupid article. Most artists speak openly about it but then again most artists are also attention whores. There are plenty of "sex monsters" that aren't artists.

[Hamsta]

At 25, I'm still a virgin (although plans are in place for some Uhn Tiss in 2006)
I have a long distance relationship, she thinks I'm a sicko, because I shared her fantasies with her, she's not knocking everything off, so I'm happy.

s&m, butt plugs, and tubgirls omg Hai2u! :perv:

As long as it doesn't involve permanent damage, eating feces, or other men I'm willing to give it a shot, if she's willing.
Can anyone convince her to become bi-secksual? I'd appreciate that ;)

PS. One of her "friends" came online on her user name, and pretended to be her husband and her (after she was away for a week or so) I believed it for about 2 days of depression and erratic sleep until she came on and explained.

me stoopid, but hapy :) me need to come over make sure mine

[CaptainInsano]

No wonder why I'm always saying "giggity giggity!"

Same study in another article.


Anyway, I can't say the study is accurate for me. Being an artist has done nothing to enhance my love life or sex life. Well...only if you count the amount of times I have to reject advances of interested females that I'm not interested in. Other than that, not much luck.

[Blahm]

i want shadows of full blown mental illness! oh wait chicks hate me.

look at that guy, Schnabel. DAMN! Fine wife, he has!

[Krystallwolvelt]

To me its really obvious esepcialy on the net cause we see alot of hentai and animated sex pictures.

[vigostar]

Ha this is funny.. I think it has alot to do with the specific person. Its interesting because artist that that stigma of being very introverted and an introverted person will not get more sex... However, I think that people who are artists (specifically) have that advantage of meeting someone and have a natural appeal because I think that everyone appreciates art especially those who are not artistic themselves... If i were single that would be my main "play". He my name is Rob and I can draw you naked right after we have dinner!

Btw- this subject was exposed on a Sex and the City epidsode. Carrie met that French dude who was a famous artist that had a reputation for being a huge womanizer.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA he somehow totally reminds me of maxetormer!

[Blue]

Aaaannnnddd i just got another date with a new girl. Showed her my sketchbook and it sealed the deal. She went from kind of interested to extremely interested.

"Do you ever draw portraits?"
"If i find someone worth drawing"
"Would you draw me?"
"I definitely would."

Sealed. Deal. :)

[Poohgee]

No prob at all recusrive_end ... its seems to have worked I guess ...

@Lord Blue : Well done ... when are we getting the drawings :D

I think if I tried that tactique ... it wouldnt work .. it would just be a confirmation .. yes he is strange :D

Well all these naked women ... art ... ooops where did that nipple come from . :D ... hey it must be true.

More creative - more open minded ... it all makes sense to me .. in theory that is.

:)

[winjer]

i must be schizophrenic according to this.. i better check

[DavePalumbo]

here's the deal with doing drawings/paintings/etc. of girls you're not well acquainted with, in my own experience: If you suggest it, it sounds creepy and most likely scares a girl off. If you don't even hint at it, it's all "when are you going to draw/paint/etc. me???" y'know, just FYI

[pogonip]

At 25, I'm still a virgin

Wow man don't they have hookers in Isreal ?? It'll be the best 1-200$ you ever spent :yayca:

I'm suprised no one brought that up earlier! :tihi:

btw... I don't think there's anything wrong with him being a 25 year-old virigin. Maybe it's a religious thing? He can probably get some ass if he wanted.

[Rusty]

blame life drawing i say.

[K-17]

If this is true, my karma really sucks.

[Steph Laberis]

I've never used my art to get laid. To get attention, sure. Laid? That's what my ass is for. ;)

I will vouch that artists in the bedroom have way more active imaginations and are more apt to get into elaborate fantasies. Granted, my only non-art relationship was with a mechanical engineer for all of 3 weeks, but I think I really disturbed that guy...

I also never really was turned on by someone drawing or painting me (tried to duplicate that ridiculous drawing scene from Titanic in high school). If anything, I got critical and angry if he was able to paint better than me. ;)

[2byts]

I've never used my art to get laid. To get attention, sure.


Actually...it is usually the other way around. Artists are attention whores because it helps them get exposure to potential clients. As a result of that...it is the woman that approach the artists....

eg: Very often i would take my sketchbook into Cafes to draw the people there....i wasnt looking to get laid....but it more or less lands on your lap in the form of "can i see your sketch book" or "can u draw me?"

I stayed at a hostel for a month in Toronto...did a mural to pay for the room and had a lot of fun doing portrait of everyone. I was actually relieved to leave because of the pressure from several females. I didnt fancy myself as a macho spreading his oats, but if i wasnt careful i was going to get into trouble. 5 different women in the same hotel smelled like danger to me.

[Blue]

@Lord Blue : Well done ... when are we getting the drawings :D

I've done this before. She gets nude for the drawing, and i start to draw.. i get a few lines down and then we end up having sex. I've never completed a portrait this way. Only of a girlfriend who was long term.

Women love the feeling of being illustrated because it makes them feel beautiful. And since every magazine and tv show in existance makes them feel uglier and uglier, something like this is entoxicating to them. No one said you have to go through with it to get the point across. :)


(god i sound so horrible right now. :tihi: )

[DavePalumbo]

dude, I could never do that with somebody I wasn't already involved with. I'm so soooooo determined to be professional and terrified of coming off as a creep whenever I'm drawing someone or (especially) shooting ref. photos, I could never make a move

[Blue]

Well, you just have to keep in mind sex was predetermined for the evening. Typically the girl will get up and and come to me to make the move. Most of the time we never even get that far, we get back to my place with the intent on me drawing her, and it never gets as far as me getting my sketchbook before the fun starts. :)

Some nude models find it a turn on to have an artist scrutinize every single curve (albeit visually) on their body. I dunno what they're thinking, but I was thinking, light, shade, reflected light, shadow casting in 2 lightsource, backlight.....and so on....

[Eric Lofgren]

To be clear using your talent and flashing your pencil and pad as tools to get a women undressed and then having sex isn't quite exactly the same as the model used in that research. That research seems to reveal that it's the very charismatic nature or character of the artist that creates the sexual relatsionship, not the trappings. Otherwise, anyone could borrow some drawings and some pencils and claim they were an artist to get laid. Whatever works, though, I guess :)

I'm the same way man. Lots of rejected girls but not many that I actually want anything to do with. People say I'm too picky *Shakes head*

[Blue]

See, we all think it has done nothing for us, but how badly would we do without it? food for thought. :)

[Hamsta]

Israel is big on trafficing whores from the former Soviet bloc.
I'm a virgin because I'm socialphobic, and attractive girls are one of the scarier type of people to me.

I could never get myself to a , I feel they are unclean, moraly offensive, and I'd shit myself from nervousness :)

[Hamsta]

Oh, yes, they're both lesbians getting it on in the office, unknowing that I am about to enter...

[llothcat]

I'm thinking the research is skewed to the male side of the equation. To me, it sounds like they seemed to only examine male artists...not female. And only those of "rock star" status..like Picasso.

Anyone hear if, say, Chuck Jones got laid often? Or even Charles Shultz? Yeesh.

Let alone Silvia Plath....

[Tully]

I've found quite the opposite. At least for myself. I'm generally not attracted to the types of guys I go to school with (fine arts guys). Many do have that creative/mysterious vibe that they talk about in the article. I was in a relationship with a guy like that for a while, and I've found that its mystique can only go so far. Charisma will get such people laid, but many are actually extremely boring and/or manipulative individuals who are used to getting what they want out of women that don't have the sense to see through them sooner.

I like a guy who's honest, that I can have a good time with and whom I know really likes me as a person.. of course the way I look too. That sort of thing is harder to find than a quick lay.

[darth massacre]

That's because you're supposed to be (or already are unknowingly) attracting guys who aren't in the arts industry!!! :dur:

[DavePalumbo]

I bet Chuck Jones and Charles Shultz could have easily gotten more ass than a toilet seat if they wanted (don't know what their situations were with wives and whatever). Especially Chuck Jones, man he was in show business! Those guys might not be rock stars like Picasso, but they're still household names and were very successful. Artists who have no name recognition, have no fame, and have no money, these I wonder.

In my social circle, extending to my friends social circles and their friends social circles, it seems like nearly everyone in town is in some way an artist. Every single local friend of mine that I can think of at least did some time at artschool, even if they're not practicing. They're all painters, sculpters, cartoonists, tattoo artists, film makers, costume designers, musicians, or actors. So 'round these parts, it ain't no thang. Thinking about this though, it does seem to be a point of interest for people I meet outside the walls of my social community.

So I can't say what the attraction level is because I don't honestly know anybody really outside the arts industry, and rarely meet someone who is... weird.

I was a tattoo artist for a couple years and I have to admit that if I were a differnet person or a few years younger without a family that a few sessions could have easily lead into a horse of a completely different colour, so to speak. But then again, it's a nurture over nature thing where the demands of the job force you to get pretty intimate with the client. Sometimes really intimate :bashful:

[styler]

that was interesting...I enjoyed reading that article lol

[Bad Brownie]

Ha that's kinda funny...my boyfriend is into politics and law, and is going to school for business and that's what I think is hot. I find a lot of guy artists I know are too angsty and unstable for me...basically, I need someone who can pull my reigns in when I'm being that way, lol.

Tattoo Artist ? got any samples on the net ? :)

[conor]

my problem with sketching in public in order to get girls to approach (other than bad looks) is that i start getting all into the sketch and so if a girl happens to initiate some sort of interaction (a few glances a side comment) im either retisent to speak alot, or since im furiously sketching which i think kinda freaks them out rather than attracts them. it seems you have to do it real slick or something. agh, i dunno but im a fan of that picasso etching with the girl asleep on the bed and picasso looking at his paintings. :yayca:

Unfortuanntly, this article doesn't apply to me in the least. :(

[Magic Man]

Does being a sex monster include buying $500 worth of porn site memberships a month count?

If not, I don't really fit that description.

[LaPalida]

It's also possible, I think, that creative people just get bored easily with the same thing/person so perhaps they are seeking other venues to entertain themselves and keep away from the depression.

[Poohgee]

Magicman :
"Does being a sex monster include buying $500 worth of porn site memberships a month count? "

-> Id say certainly - I guess U musrt have a high sex drive that U consume 500$ worth :)

LaPalida :
"It's also possible, I think, that creative people just get bored easily with the same thing/person so perhaps they are seeking other venues to entertain themselves and keep away from the depression."

-> Propably quite a bit true as well IMO :)
