The Buns stories are simply written to be enjoyed. They're only fictional, erotic dream tales and they're meant to be good, dirty, naughty fun!
Don't take them too seriously. They're too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
Some of the rougher moments in the stories are included because the narratives are kinky fantasies: not realities nor recommendations. Reality exists in its own space and fantasy exists in its own space. There must be room for both reality and fantasy.....and the ability to differentiate between those two realms. Tom of Finland would agree with me and the Marquis de Sade would agree as well! But, I have to admit, I'll never go as far down the routes that the Marquis went down. I feel comfortable staying within certain confines of storytelling! Yikes!
Tom of Finland is a huge influence on the Max stories.
I don't see the full stories--the Max stories as novellas--to be a contradiction to the quick, bite-sized nature of raunchy erotica. If anything, I believe that they compliment each other. Fleshing-out the story backgrounds and characters a bit is meant to illuminate what the characters are going through and to get to the heart of the point of the Max/Buns stories.
The Max/Buns stories are about:
1.) people coping with their bodies and sexualities
2.) characters coming to terms with their fantasies and the fantasies of others
3.) adults learning how to navigate through the complexities of erotic relationships with each other
So, yes, the Max/Buns stories are indulgent, absurdist, silly, erotic stories...…..but they're about other, more serious things than homoerotic ass fetishization. Yet I want to make sure that the books stay thoroughly entertaining, humorous, and enticing and not allow the subversive, serious aspects of the narratives to be heavy-handed.
Fun is #1.
