I imagine them all wafting around in sarongs and doing yoga. Haven't been there yet, so haven't worked out what would work for stories.<br /><br />2)[Non-females being unable to own contracts implies sexual nature of society]<br /><br />A:Marriage isn't all about sex either. So, an element of sexual exploitation is acknowledged.<br /><br /><br />3)Chastity Cup Policy Changes - If the females of a colony-nation want to change their chastity cup policy, can they do so? <br /><br />A; don't think so. Haven't decided. Not something the characters think about day to day/<br /><br />4)Corporate contracts<br />These would break the personal nature of the ties in femtopia. Also, corporations could simply end up acting like illegal ticket touts. Presumably there are laws to prevent work arounds.<br /><br /><br />5) Female/sex tourism - How big a presence is tourism, particularly sex tourism, in the Vestan economy? <br /><br />A: Huge! This is erotica after all! Think Spring Break.<br /><br />However, people pretend it's not happening, and the tour companies find all sorts of ways of creating excuses to visit, e.g. did you knwo that the vinyards of central Femtopia are renown for their unique wines?<br /><br /><br /><br />6)Settling the Frontier - Are there settlers (or even proto-colonies) in the unclaimed territories of Vesta? If so, can each female set cup policy for her males? Is there a standardized policy? Or do they just have to abide by the overall Vestan policy?<br /><br />A: Undecided. Suspect if you step out of your colony, then the vestan default applies.<br /><br />7)"University City" in Femtopia - If Minervan students are emigrating to Femtopia for cheap housing & sex, how developed are the expatriate areas? Is it still just random (expatriates surrounded by "native" Femtopians")? Have full-scale ("Little Minerva/ Minervatown") neighborhoods developed? Or are there actual, full-fledged, towns of expatriates (and businesses catering to them), which have closer (economic/social) ties to Minerva than to Femtopia proper?<br /><br />A: I think it's just neighbourhoods. There are probably industrial areas as well, and some gated estates where minvervans pretend they're in Minerva.<br /><br /><br />8)Owning Males in Amazonia - Can Amazonian females brand/pierce/surgically modify their males? And how is male ownership seen there - is it just one of the perks of being female, or is there a sexual undertone to it? <br /><br />A: In general, men on Vesta are free from fear of something really bad happening to them. Beyond that, I haven't decided what limits apply in Amazonia - bear in midn these woule affect recruitment.<br /><br />The general vibe is old style slavery, with sexual perks. Men are rationed for reasons of supply, rather than taste.<br /><br /><br />GENERL REMARKS<br /><br />The stories I'm working on at the moment centre on the most normal two colonies: Minerva and Femtopia. The other places barely get a mention, but exist as potential locations for stories.Giles Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078027627281038866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619478.post-9450951262044286652011-03-31T02:17:10.535-07:002011-03-31T02:17:10.535-07:00Chastity Cups off world - I think any live demos w...Chastity Cups off world - I think any live demos would be an uncomfortable experience for conservative cultures. There's more likely to be the equivalent of a video aimed at the parents of students.<br /><br />Bi-monthly openings... haven't decided. Doesn't belong in Vesta or Femtopia.<br /><br />Names: They need to be really clear and easy to understand. Subtlety is out. However, I may change them before I publish, so your input is appreciated.<br /><br />Marriage: Men arrive on the planet with whatever staus they submit to. Whether or not people recognise off world marriage depends on the social setting - e.g. fem/thrall couples who hang out together would think of themselves as a crowd of married couples.Giles Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078027627281038866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619478.post-132285349725166662011-03-30T22:08:43.795-07:002011-03-30T22:08:43.795-07:00While trying to repost part one, I thought of some...While trying to repost part one, I thought of something else to ask:<br /><br />*)<b>Immigrating Married Couples</b> How do the colony-nations of Vesta regard incoming married couples? Do they acknowledge the married status? Is it automatically annulled?<br /><br />And what impact, if any, does immigration have on the husband? For example, can a married man immigrate to Femtopia as a Free Neuter, or is he automatically a Thrall (or worse)? <br /><br />And if a wife suddenly turns up, for a male who presented himself as single, does she have a claim on him? What if the male's already sold himself to a Femtopian female: shared custody? A custody lawsuit?<br /><br /><br /><i>On a side note, this makes tonight's comments a three-parter</i>An Insomniac Night Owlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619478.post-71317976246523428332011-03-30T21:49:40.533-07:002011-03-30T21:49:40.533-07:00Here's the first part of tonight's post
1...<b>Here's the first part of tonight's post</b><br /><br />1)<b>Gender Bending in Neutralia</b> - In what sense is Neutralia "gender bending"? Is this a colony of drag kings and she-males? Do the collars force shared experiences - feeding males the sensory input of pregnancy/PMS, and letting the women experience male orgasms? <br /><br />2)<b>Non-females owning contracts</b> - Your notes imply that Femtopia isn't just about female dominance, but primarily female <i>sexual</i> dominance over males. <br /><br />By ruling out "incestuous"/family contracts, for example, it would seem to make female sexual pleasure a key/primary aspect of the whole contract/bondage system. I'm not saying that's good or bad, just that it sexualizes the whole system (and that offering to become a woman's thrall is tantamount to offering to be her sex slave) <br /><br />3)<b>Chastity Cup Policy Changes</b> - If the females of a colony-nation want to change their chastity cup policy, can they do so? For example, if Femtopia wants to add a new caste level or alter the post-orgasm grace period, is there a method to do so?<br /><br />4)<b>Corporate contracts</b> - If you do decide to ban corporate (and presumably govt, etc.) owned contracts, that would seem to again reinforce the inherent sexual nature of the Femtopian bondage system (since you can't pleasure a corporation).<br /><br />However, I think you do want to allow such contracts - even if you want a strongly sexual system. Presumably, buying a male is going to be expensive - and a lot of women may not have the cash lying around to do so. If a corp. can own a contract, though, she could get the equivalent of a mortgage, putting him up as collateral (or for other loans). Similarily, if she doesn't pay her taxes, her male(s) could be seized by the government - and both foreclosures and male tax lien sales have plot potential.<br /><br />If you're concerned about abuse of corporate contracts, you could rule that any such contract needs a local female to serve as the agent of record, on hand to "service" the contract (although she doesn't actually have title to them).<br /><br />5) <b>Female/sex tourism</b> - How big a presence is tourism, particularly sex tourism, in the Vestan economy? Are there ships of horny women coming in every day (or couple of days) - a la modern cruise destinations? Or is it much more of an occasional thing?<br /><br />6)<b>Settling the Frontier</b> - Are there settlers (or even proto-colonies) in the unclaimed territories of Vesta? If so, can each female set cup policy for her males? Is there a standardized policy?

A) Chastity Cups Off-Worl...Oops, missed something:<br /><br />A) <b>Chastity Cups Off-World</b> - Actually, I think there would be reasons for males to show their cups off-world: recruiting. College recruiters, for example, might want a chastized male on hand for some of the more conservative (or male phobic) worlds. Concerned parents (or even students) could see a fixed male in person, try their hand at prying the cup off, heck, the recruiter could even take a 2x4 or tire iron to it - letting the locals see that there is no conceivable way for a male to break chastity. And if the demo male is well-groomed and polite, so much the better ("see parents, the men of Vesta are proper gentlemen, not slavering fetish freaks")<br /><br />Similarily, potential male immigrants might find it reassuring to see a happy Vestan male, with his nice, roomy cup, and have him talk about how easy it is to live with it. Of course, given the premise of the setting, it would probably help if he was a good liar, but the recruits don't have to know that . . .<br /><br />B)<b>Monthly Openings</b> Having a male cup that only opens up monthly could be interesting, but my suggestion would be to look at Minerva or Amazonia for such a policy. In Minerva, it could be an acknowledgement that perpetually sex-starved males don't do well on tests -and there could be policies in place to keep the males away from females during that phase (they all have to go out of town, etc.).<br /><br />As for Amazonia, it might be an optional way to reward males who work particularly hard. Or it could be purely commercial venture - once a month, the Amazonians milk their males dry, and sell the semen to infertile couples (back in human territory) or for pharmaceutical research<br /><br />I don't know if you'd want to put it in Femtopia, though - you've already got a lot going on there, cup-wise. As for Neutralia or the (hypothetical) frontier males . . . I don't have an opinion, either way.<br /><br />C)<b>Names</b> - Have you settled on the names "Amazonia" or "Neutralia"? Or are you still looking for alternatives?<br /><br />Something based off of "Artemis" (virgin Greek hunting goddess who fed a Peeping Tom - alive - to his own hounds) or Queen Elizabeth of England (the Virgin Queen), or even Catherine the Great (Russian queen who ditched her mentally ill husband and ruled as an absolute monarch in her own right), might work for Amazonia. As for Neutralia, . . . maybe something involving Hermaphrodite (minor Greek deity with both sets of sex organs, who gave us the term "hermaphrodite")<br /><br />If you're happy with both, though, go for it.
