Ahem, link?
and a lot of my turn-ons ride shotgun with my squicks
Same here. Non-con is hot, and also seriously fucking creepy. I think there must be a set of tiny, subjective cues that swing it one way or the other.
I worry that I attach importance to batshit things.
Or maybe your kinks are your kinks, and to hell with how they compare to other people's kinks. Every writer and reader has batshit trivia that they fixate on; that's just part of having a past and memories and a normal functioning human psyche.
Me, I get annoyed when visual pornography cuts people off just above the ankles. I like feet (yes, guy feet). To some extent, I really don't give a lemur's fanny what the significance of that particular fetish is, though it might be interesting out of sheer curiousity and the entertainment value of over-analysis to figure it out some day. If, in written porn, feet are mentioned, or even footwear, my attention is immediately grabbed. Same goes for a fair number of other ridiculously insignificant things (eyebrows, for instance).
I find your analysis of the differences between porn for guys and porn for gals very interesting. Probably fairly accurate, if stereotypical. I, for instance, would much rather write or read that "he was gagged" and move on to the significance of that fact for the participants and the action rather than dwell on the origin of the leather used in the gag and the style of the stitching and how many links are in the chain that connects the ankle cuffs.
