So, a lot of my tg caps have been heavily influenced by http://tgswappingcaps.blogspot.com/, especially their great shift stuff (i know they're not the origin of the great shift, but i think they've done some of the best caps on the subject). one of their original concepts, the FOSE (Fantasy Orgasm Swapping Event) intrigues me, but there are some things i don't love about it. What I dislike is the method of swap; at particular moment, anyone orgasming is transferred into the body of the person they were thinking of. It's a neat concept, but there's something about it I don't love. I think for body swapping, I just prefer there to be less of a sexual nature to the swap itself, and for the sex stuff to be something the swapped individuals wander into separately (which is part of why I like the great shift).

I like that it's relatively small scale; it affects lots of people, but the majority of the world isn't swapped. I like this because one of my favorite plots is transformed/body-swapped individuals interacting with people who AREN'T swapped. I think the dynamic is fascinating, and made more so when all parties are aware of the swap. Never been a big fan of stuff where the swapped individual's partner doesn't know the swap took place, although I know a lot of people like that stuff. But what I like about the FOSE is that not only does the partner know, usually the rest of the world knows as well, especially if there's an age difference.

Which is why I've been toying a bit with the minor shift concept from http://tehswitcherscaptions.blogspot.com/. I like the idea of millions of people being swapped with eachother, having to adjust to their new lives, and the switches being common knowledge and fairly regular. But there are still lots and lots of people who aren't swapped, really the majority of people, and the caps are much more about swapped individuals learning to live with people who weren't swapped.

I've been thinking about a new concept for some captions. Obviously, one of the msot well known plots in TG captions (at least outside of imagefap, where these captions are surprisingly rare) is the Great Shift, where the majority of the world's population is suddenly swapped into another person's body. The exact proportion of the population that is shifted seems to differ from writer to writer, but I typically see it listed as aroun 95% (sometimes lower; don't think I've ever seen it higher).

It's certainly interesting to think about such a cataclysmic event occuring. But I think it's also interesting to think about body swaps on a smaller demographic scale, so I've recently become interested in the concept of the Minor Shift, which was developed by tehswitcher (http://tehswitcherscaptions.blogspot.com/), and further developed by switchhitter (http://swappinggrounds.blogspot.com/). The idea is that it's a reversal of the demographics of the Great Shift. So instead of 5% of the population being un-shifted, 5% swaps bodies, and 95% doesn't. It's an interesting idea, and I like the idea of this sort of randomized body swap as a natural event that doesn't affect the entire goddamn world (I really like caps involving swapped and unswapped people interacting), but that just feels... small.

So I'm sort of playing around with the idea of a MEDIUM Shift. I haven't decided on the proportions, but I think it would likely involve the majority of the world remaining unshifted, but a large proportion swapping. Maybe in the 60-40% area. Or it might be an even split, 50% shifted, 50% unshifted. 

I don't really like the name "Medium Shift" though (or minor, shift, honestly), because those two titles exist only as a point o comparison to the great shift, which wouldn't have occured in the universe where they're set. So if I can come up with a better name, you'll probably see some medium shift themed caps if I ever make another caption gallery.

I know people don't read these things very often, and that most of my more recently active audience aren't my fans for my captions, but if anyone has any suggestions for what I might call it, I'd love to hear them. 

Following up on my previous entry, I have a story now where I reported someone and feel no guilt whatsoever for it. Yesterday, some sub-human garbage posted images of child pornography on ImageFap. The moment I saw it, I went and reported it. A little later, I reported the user as well, as they were also using an image from said gallery as their profile pic, and, well, THEY HAD POSTED CHILD PRONOGRAPHY! 

Other members reported as well, and within 2 hours, the gallery and user were banned. So, shout out to the admins for their relatively quick response, and adherence to their own rules.

I want to make something clear. I may be a pervert. I am into some kinda fucked up shit. But the ability to separate fantasy and reality is vital. And this... this was sickening. I firmly support the age of consent laws where I live (age of consent is 16 here, 18 to be in porn), and these children... I think they must have been 10 or younger. It was heart-rending to see. No child should be subjected to that.  I am not a religious person. Even if I were, I'm Jewish, so I wouldn't believe in hell. But even so, I think there's a special place in hell reserved for people like the one who posted that trash.

Pedophilia and child sexual abuse are not jokes. They're not funny. The psyches of children can be irrepairably damaged by it. And if any other monsters are planning on posting that kind of material, I can promise you that I will NOT hesitate to report.

I feel kind of bad.

Last night I reported the gallery of a self-confessed 16-yo trans girl. None of the images actually showed her face, or without clothes, but, nonetheless, I felt I had to report it. I have a feeling her account may have been suspended, but I unfortunately don't remember her name; I know the gallery was taken down.

I don't want to restrict a young persons sexual growth. And I especially don't want to censor a young trans girl, whose life is gonna suck a lot at various times. But the fact is, it's not allowed, and it shouldn't be. She may have elt like she was capable of making a good choice on her own, but it's very easy for the choices of a 16-yo to come back and bite them in the ass later, and she is, in fact, a minor as defined by the site.

Here on imagefap, we sometimes go a little too far in the name of "fantasy" (I worry that for some, it's not really fantasy). I am certainly not innocent of this, I am somewhat ashamed to admit. But a line has to be drawn somewhere, and I think that line really does need to be drawn at having actual images of minors on this site, being sexualized. That's not to say minors don't experience sexual attraction, it just means that they shouldn't be sexualized by adults, as, according to the definitions used by this site, they are not legally capable of giving consent.

So, if you see this, young trans girl, I apologize, but I hope you realize that I really am just trying to ensure your safety. Come back in a couple years. 

I know people don't really read these, but I need to get this off my chest.

 Earlier today, I received a comment on one of the captions in my new drawn caption gallery. The commentor was upset that I was using a pic with a specific backstory for an unrelated caption. They also insulted the quality of the caption itself. My response was to say that I didn't care what they thought. But that's not true. I do care.

First, a bit about my process: I gather images for possible captions by browsing various galleries here and in several other places across the internet (and yes, I do fap while I look. Sue me). I then save any pics I like to my hardrive, and go back later to pic the best ones to use for captions. 

Basically, if there's a specific context to a pic that I find, I usually have no way of knowing it, without having to do a LOT of research, and it just doesn't seem worth the trouble. So I write whatever story pops into my head when I look at the pic. Because that's just what I do; I get these ideas, and I want to get them out there. And if that means I sometimes write stories over pics with pre-existing plotlines, then so be it. I try to avoid using pics that I know have specific stories behind hem if I know the story, and I prefer not to use pics with characters from specific, mainstream, media, but other than that, I jsut don't feel the need to be that picky.

Now, the commentor also said that I stole this pic for my "cheap knock-off fantasy", and I should be ashamed (I should point out as well that this commentor is NOT the original artist or anything like that). That one hurt. I know the themes I've come up with for my caps aren't great, and they need developing, but still, I feel a certain amount of pride in my own creations, especially since I worked hard to write these caps. The Metamorphosis is, I admit, a bit cheesy, but I've been throwing the idea of a global transformation event in my head for years, ever since I started getting into furry stuff. I really liked the idea of the world waking up one day to find that they had become anthro furries. I thought that how people dealt with that change would be interesting to address. And I also thought that, since I also like the whole gender-transformation/herm-transformation thing, I could add it in there as well, and explore even more interesting subjects.True, I took some inspiration from The Great Shift idea, which is a global body swapping event, but I wouldn't necessarily call what I did a knock-off.

I know I shouldn't let one commentor get to me like this, but I just can't help it. I'm not really sure why, but I wanted to explain myself for future reference. I also wanted to say that if I am at any point contacted by the original artist of a pic, and they request that I take down a caption I did on their work, I will do it gladly. I consider these captions a tribute to their original artists,a way of letting them know that Ienjoy what they've done. If they don't like the captions, then I will make my respect them clear by taking my work down.

Thank you to anyone who reads this post, and thank you to all my fans. Without the support you've shown, I would never have done as much as I have.

So, I know it's been a VERY long time since I made one of my preachy posts, and no one really reads them anyway, but I'm hoping that in talking about these kinds of things, those who DO read them will get a better understnding of how I think, and maybe even find they agree with me.

Today's topic is Polyamory. Now, I can't claim to be very involved in the polyamory movement, so if I get stuff wrong, those who are should feel free to correct me. But what exactly is it? Well, it's most basic definition is a loving relationship between multiple people. In this way, it is distinguished from polygamy (marriage between multiple partners), and swinging (casual sex with multiple partners). Many people view the cheating as a desire to engage in polyamory, but nonmonagomy doesn't equal cheating. See, one of the most important parts of a healthy polyamorous relationship is that ALL parties must be consenting. One of the most commonly reported issues in polyamory is the issue of jealousy, which is, essentially, the result of differing levels of consent. Since consent is so essential to polyamory, when issues involving it arise, it can be very damaging.

One reason many people are made uncomfortable by polyamory is that they feel that love should be able to survive on its own, and that if you're REALLY in love with someone else, you don't need anyone else. On some level, this makes a certtain amount of logical sense, but human emotion has never been logical, so of course there are people for whom this is not true. Another way of looking at it is this: would it be reasonable to say that if you love your first-born child, you shouldn't want to have a second? I don't think many people would say that that makes sense, so clearly, love can exist between multiple people. And it can be beneficial! I read a great example once: Let's say you hate opera, but your girlfriend loves it. Well, maybe her other lover can take her out for you. Now, let's say this other partner is also great with computers, and, in return for taking out your girlfriend, he agrees to fix your computer. Seems like a pretty good deal, right? Or maybe not, whatevs.

Now, raising children in a polyamorous household is another difficulty. First, of course, there are the legal difficulties, since custody would, of course be BITCH to figure out. Typically, though, polys will have the biological parents serve as the main parenting figures for the children, and the other partners serve as close family or friends. Many polys have their children think of their extra parners as Aunts or Uncles, or step-parents. Of course, "coming out" to your children and trying to explain what's going on, especially to older, teenage children can be difficult, but many polys report that it doesn't seem that much more challenging than dealing with new step parents in a monogamous relationship.

But who are polyamorous people? Well, mostly, they're bisexuals. Now, don't misunderstand me: most bisexuals AREN'T polyamorous! But most polyamorous people are bi or homosexual. Surveys suggest about 50% of polyamorouspeople are bisexual, while about 40% of bisexuals say they're polys.

This brings me to my next point: me, personally. Well, as I make clear in my user info, I am bisexual, or at least bicurious. However, I'm also pretty young, and haven't exactly been very sexual active so far in my life. Basically, I've never really had a committed relationship of any sort. However, I have to admit I have been interested in polyamorus relationships to varying degrees throughout my life. Am I poly? I don't really know. I suppose I'd be willing to give a polyamorous relationship a try at some point, but I'm not convinced it's really for me. I guess you could say I'm poly-curious? Now, since what every person looks for ina relationship can be different, I must warn you that what I'm going to describe is the most ideal for me, I think.

What I see as the ideal poly relationship is actually pretty conservative. Personally, I'd worry about having a large group of people in one relationship becoming too drama filled, so I'd want a relatively small group. Preferably, I'd want a bisexual group, where everyone involved can feel love for ALL others, instead of being in the relationship for one individual. Now, before people start offering to let me into their polyamorous relationship, let me just say that that's not what I'm looking for! I just wanted to explain a bit about this topic, since it's going to feature in several of my upcoming captions, and I figured that people wouldbe curiousabout where I personally stand.

So, despite having been up for months, almost all of the edits I posted on rule34.xxx have been deleted, because, apparently, they have a rule against edited pics. It's a stupid rule, in my opinion, but a rule nonetheless, so I feel I should respect it, since I don't want to be banned. So, from this point on, any new edits will be posted here exclusively, until I find a site with more exposure than this one (I will continue to post here, though). I don't know if anyone on here was even aware I was posting these on rule34, but if you were, and you were using it as a way to get my new edits with more reqularity, I apoligize.

If you are wondering why I'm not just going to make a gallery on here and add pictures as I go along, it's because if I do that, it won't appear on the front page of the category it's in, and won't be seen as as much.  I don't want to sound like an attention whore, but I'm making these edits for people to see, so I'd like to have more of an audience than a couple of fans (although I actually haven't had much response to my cartoon edits... people, if you like them, comment and let me know!). It is possible that I will begin posting on luscious.net, under the name belac, but I'll have to check what their policies are... 

Anyway, thank you to all my fans on here, and on all the other sites I post on. 

 Update: Well, it's official: all my edits on rule34.xxx have been deleted. I may post some stuff there again at some point, but I will no longer post ANY edits there. Again, though, I don't think anyone reads this, and anyone who does probably doesn't care.

Just posted my newest gallery of my work. And by "my" I mean Wolfy-Nail's www.furaffinity.net/user/wolfy-nail/

Absolutely AMAZING furry artist. But no herm art. So, I decided to add some dicks using Gimp, which is basically a free version of photoshop. I've only done 9 pictures so far, but I hope to do more soon,so stay tuned. Also, there may be some stuff by other artists as well. ALso, I've started posting some of this stuff on rule34.xxx which is a pretty great site for those unfamiliar with it. I use the same name there as here. Also, apparently, my stuff was good enough there to warrant an "official" artist tag (tags for artists are a different color than just plain tags). Don't think I should feel proud of that, but I do...

Well, this is embarassing. It has been more than 6 months since my last upload of fakes and even longer since my last upload of captions. I want to apologize to any fans out there who have grown frustrated at this and given up on me. I want to assure you that I was often thinking about the fact I needed to do more, which is why I uploaded some other stuff in the meanwhile. My life has been very hectic and busy recently, and I just haven't had the time to commit to making this stuff. It's a lot more effort than you might think! But don't worry: during the summer, I'll have much more time, and will try to upload a gallery of caps and a a gallery of fakes at least once a month, hopefully starting in June. If I can, I'll try and do more, since I know that's not very much, and I'll see if I can build up a bit of a buffer for the cold winter months. Thank you for your patience, and if any of you actually care enough about my stuff to have read this, thank you even more. I know my work isn't very good, but I'm trying, and I hope that counts for something. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment on this post, or on any of my galleries.

Thank you, and Happy Fapping,

Yup. That's what this post is about. To be specific, penis size. To be specific-er, what's average, what it means, who has longer penises, and how much it matters. These are questions that have plagued mankind for centuries (and I do mean MANkind).

To begin with, keep in mind that this is all statistics. The information relates to the general public as a whole, but there are, of course, outiers. First of all, let's talk about averages. There ahave been numerous studies of penis size, but all of them have shown that the average (mean) erect penis length is between 5.1 and 5.9 inches. However, the median penis length is slightly lower than the mean. This means that there are more people with slightly larger than average penises than there are with shorter ones. Another interesting thing to note is penis circumference (the distance around the penis. I'll explain why it's important later). because penises aren't actually just sticks, the circumference is measured in 3 places: at the base, mid-shaft, and right below the head. This gives you an individuals average circumference. What studies have found is that this average comes out to betwween 3.5 and 4 inches. This may seem like a lot, but keep in mind, this is the entire edge. Another interesting question is whether there is any relation between race and penis length. The answer: no. No studies have shown a significant relationship. The only one that's come close is one that showed that circumcised penises were, on average, about 8 mm shorter than uncircumcised, but this was just a single study, and may not represent the general population.

If this is all true, then why do so many men feel so concerned about the length of their penises? Well, there are several explanations. First of all, the porn industry uses outliers (people very far away from the average). These massive dicks are the ones people are exposed to while watching porn, which leads them to believe that it's normal. Therefore, they feel inadequate about their average sized penises. There is also the issue of flaccid v. erect. Many men believe that there is correlation between the length of a flaccid penis and the length of an erect one. While this is partially true, it isn't not as significant as many believe. A penis that seems very small while flaccid may in fact be average, or above average. A penis that is above the average flaccid length (between 3.5 and 3.9 inches) may grow very little when becoming erect. Another reason men think their penises are small is because of the perspective effect known as foreshadowing. A penis may look average, or even large from the front, but from above, perspective can cause it to look smaller. These factors lead many many men to believe they have small penises. In fact, many studies have shown that most men who have anxiety about the length of their penises have average sizerd ones.

Now for the final question: Does any of this matter? Turns out, yes and no. Women, for the most part, don't care about penis size. In fact, some studies have shown that more than 70% of women think men overemphasize penis length. Not only that, but when women do care, they mostly seem to care about width. In other words, women are not likely to decide whether or not to build a relationship with a men based on penis size. However, women do, substantially, place an importance on penis size when talking about sexual staisfaction. So, basically, they mostly don't want monsters, or tiny ones, but they choose men for other reasons first. An interesting side note: some studies have found that homosexual men have slightly larger penises, on average, and their sexual partners tend to put more emphasis on penis size.

 Well, there you have it. Sorry that was so long winded. I know this probably won't be read by many people, but I'm hoping that anyone who does read it and has anxiety over this issue will feel reassured. If you do read this, please, tell me what you think in comments!

One thing that amazes me most about this site is how little most people on here actually know about crossdressers. First of all, let's deal with the idea that it's uncommon. This is partly true: about 1% of the male population does it. This may seem small, but keep in mind there are more than 3 billion men in the world, which means there are about 33 million men who crossdress. And, as it happens, most of them are not gay. Though many transgenders begin with crossdressing, many crosssdressers do not become transgender. This can make many crossdressers ashamed, because it is so difficult for them to find women who can accept this practice. Many people assume crossdressers don't want to be, or xconsider themselves, men, which is simply untrue.

Another misconception is that crossdressers are always in womens clothing. This is also untrue. Many crossdress only occasionally. For instance, though I enjoy it, I've only crossdressed a few times. I still consider myself a man, and dress the way men usually dress most of the time. Now, I do fall into the stereotype a little: I am bisexual. On the Kinsey scale (look it up), I am about a 1.5, which is predominantly heterosexual, with occasional attraction to the same sex. Yet, I can still crossdress and want to have heterosexual sex.

 There is also a stereotype that crossdressers always crossdress for sexual reasons. With adult crossdressers, this is mostly not true. Modstly, it's just a way of releaving stress. Still, many do do it for sexual reasons, especially when they are younger (teen years). As a young man myself, I have always, so far, don it for sexual purposes (figure it out imageFAP). Many crossdressers report that even when not doing for sexual reasons, they often have increased feelings of sexual arrousal while CD. I can tell you, this is DEFINITELY true. However, crossdressers are not, for the most part,any more sexually deviant than other people. Still most do use crossdressing to enhance their sex lives, though few women are comfotable with it. An, for the most part, crossdressers dress as as women in their social positions would: i.e. CD conventions often involve rooms filled with men in women's business attire.

 And, finally, crossdressers are not crazy. They are different from the accepted norm, but they are not crazy. It also seems like they are not made, but born. And there is no way, or any particular reason, to cure them.

Sissy is an offensive term. It suggests the idea that femininity is, somehow a sign of weakness. And I have to tell you, after having known some very strong, but very feminine, women, I can tell you, that's simply not the case. And another thing: the idea that a strong woman is only a dominatrix is bullshit. Strong dosen't mean lack of sensuality. It means confidence, willingness to defend who you are. Of course, there are more ways to be strong, but that's one of the most basic elements of strength. I know that, just as there are some instances where rapeplay is fine, and not meant to be offensive, there are some instances where calling oneself a sissy is fine (a new word should still be created that's less offensive to women). However, just like with actual rape, if people believe that this sort of thing is truly real, then it becomes real. The majority of crossdressers in shemales would probably not consider themselves sissies. While sissy galleries are fine in moderation, I honestly believe that the number of caption galleries where the CD/TV are not submissive, force-femmed, cucked, or dommed could be counted on a single hand. The crossdressing and transgendered communities struggle enough as it is: we could at least do them the favor of allowing them to be in an equal relationship, with whoever they want. As for what to call them: things like CD, TV, Trans, Tgirl, trap, or shemale are probably the best, at least for porn. I dream of a world in which captions that involve a CD or TV in a relationship with, and fucking wildly, a normal girl/girls/girl(s)+guy(+) are just as commonplace as the ones that exist now. Why can't a man choose to crossdress, and still want to have sex with women? Though I cannot know whether anyone on here will ever read this (might be TL:DR), I wish to issue a challenge to the imagefap community. Make more galleries as I have described. Don't stop making other galleries, just more of this kind. I will do my part, there's only so much one person can do. Together, we can make a more open-minded porn community. Seriously, this other crap just ain't doin' it for me.
