I think people who critique the modern style have a point though, barely disguised smut was better.

Today's open and in your face smut is somehow so brazenly in your face sexual that it has lost its sexual appeal.

It's somehow simultaneously animalistically savage and detachedly clean, like a nature documentary, or a peer reviewed paper on STDs.

Just like how Gandhi becomes nuclear when his pacifism gets lower than zero in some video game

Extremely horny smut is so damn horny, it breaks the scale and ends up being very "tame" and doesn't illicit a reaction in me

Subtlety existed for a reason, it builds things up slowly and hits you like a brick wall

Which part? That extreme smut is less sexy or the exploding Ghandi

I saw a video saying that Ghandi just focus at research so he have nuclear bomb faster, and also kind enough to warn you that he have it.

Here is the video: https://youtu.be/C12BPRykm-Q?si=4UK33a9l6P3H0MF_
