When you write (fiction), to what degree do you articulate the inner psychological life of your character? Or do you prefer to do as McCarthy tends to, and show the character's mind through their hands?

There's probably a balance to be struck. Or instead an intentional imbalance that provides consistency of diction, tone, mood, etc.

Provide good examples of either extreme if you can.

The problem is you're a beta faggot and don't self insert as the black dude. There's literally nothing wrong with interracial porn.

Very dark skin looks bad from a purely aestethic viewpoint,
blacks are also very different from others. Practically another species, they're also dumb and violent and it is extremely common for them to have std's. Plus how can I self-insert as a black man, when Negros looks so different and so much uglier than other people? I couldn't self insert as a dog or an octopus.

After having done something as dirty as having sex with negro men, it is impossible to be attracted to a woman.
In any case the way the modern incarnation of bm_w/a_f is done puts a lot of emphasis on the special prowess of negro males, to be able as a non-black man to enjoy that entails humiliating yourself.

Also I dont mind IR porn, only the type that involves dark skinned males.

Look at this thread, apologize to me right now immediately.

I'm hoping once the brexit vote has been decided the political memeing will die down a little bit but I have a feeling it wont.

I didn't come here to talk about pornography, and I dont trip and routinely talk about things other than literature.

In any case a certain amount of off-topic posting doesn't to any harm to a board, and is in fact inevitable.

Op here, yeah alright. A little doesn't hurt, but does it all have to be localized in this thread?

You sound like you enjoy contributing properly. So do it.

A 'sorry' would suffice.

You still haven't told us you're not autistic.

Are you upset that the average fit black dude properly pounds more pussy in a month than you do in a lifetime? Does that not make you feel a little threatened, anon, insecure even?

>>8200030
I think body language is best for building tension, like sexual or violence tension. Rather than just thinking "I could kill the bitch", you could build it up much more subtly, with a tight jaw or quick speaking manner. Internal monologues are great for hamming a philosophical point, or extrapolating on an emotional fact or background you particularly want to bring out. It's capable of telling a more complex story, but not necessarily a more powerful one. Proper use of both is of course needed OP.

Came back to find one decent post.Thank you. Expand on this if you can. I tend to overdo descriptions of my characters' thinking/mentality/attitudes. So it's not so much inner monologue I'm thinking of, but third person (omnipotent) narration that details a character's psychology in conjunction with their actions.

I want the rationale behind the action to be more significant than the action itself. I know that I will run into lots of problems trying to achieve this.

I only brought up corncob because he seems to because he's a useful example of a writing does not "psychologize" its characters.

I think the issue can be boiled down to a question of what sort of description reveals enough to be effective in a manner comparable to action. Maybe it's impossible.

no, because human sexuality isn't a zero sum game.
