Japanese Tentacle Erotica
by Stephen Gibson

January 1, 2018 Contributed By: Stephen Gibson

It’s possible to loathe and desire the same thing.

What the heart wants isn’t simple. It’s complex.

In graphic novels heroines beg for it to sting.

It’s possible to loathe and desire the same thing.

In storyboards, tentacles surround their necks.

What gender do you think is doing the drawing?

It’s possible to loathe and desire the same thing.

What the heart wants isn’t simple. It’s complex.
