That was actually super-interesting. I do not foresee any fics of my own with any mount of tentacles but if they do come up, either for business or pleasure, I shall refer back to this post.
I've been thinking a lot about noncon smut. I'll admit I've enjoyed a few noncon fics, but ever since I've begun exploring feminism, I just can't enjoy it like I used to, no matter what gender or sexuality the characters are. The glorification of rape is very uncool, especially with sexual violence at pretty epidemic levels. :(
Srsly, though. I'd love to see some consensual tentacle smut too. I'll probably end up giggling.
I never really liked it, and being more feminist has just made me dislike it more. Your kink is not my kink and all that, but the only things that turn me off worse these days are pregnancy and shota/loli, in that order.

They can also change the shape and texture of their skin They can also change the shape and texture of their skin
um. wow. I have read and enjoyed noncon only in very specific situations; never when it is shown as pleasurable for the victim, never when it leads to happy emotions. But I can sometimes like it when it is insane!character fic.
I generally consider tentacles not my thing, but then I've never read any consensual tentacle!pr0nz. Any recommendations?
Ironically, your icon is very relevant: SoRiKai darkness!tentacles is the only one I can really rec (other than my own stash that's hidden away on my Ellydrive). Like I said, very hard to find good stuff.
And would you like a vid? Because there are a lot of octopus vids on Youtube that show off their camo skills.
When you first wrote this post, I wrote a fairly long comment disagreeing with your views on noncon/rapefic. Then I deleted it. But there are a couple points I'd still like to mention:
1) Policing (other) women's sexual fantasies is not feminist either.
2) Some assault survivors read and write noncon fic. If, hypothetically, you were going to judge who and is and isn't "allowed" to write noncon fic, that would not have good results.
It's a complex issue. However, I do get why it squicks you. I stay away from R18 het doujinshi and FAR away from graphic doujinshi by men for similar reasons. Also, I loathe anything that treats rape humorously--in most cases I take anyone who jokes about it to be extremely ignorant about rape and/or an asshole. This is not the sense I get from the treatment of noncon in serious fics, if they're written well.
Oh, I'm not saying they can't like it! I'm just expressing how sick I am of having people assume that all tentacle fic is rape and/or how that seems to be all that ever gets written. Sorry if it came off any other way!
So I'm doing that "Investigate new friend" thing, and apparently you are as yet unfamiliar with Mati and Takoyaoi Love? I must rectify this!
Takoyaoi Love is a community dedicated to consensual tentacles. It is currently located here on IJ; it used to be on LJ as well, but then Strikethrough (or was it Boldout?) happened and Mati (dogmatix_san), the founder and maintainer, decided it would be wise to move it elsewhere. Pretty much all of the recent updates are for Mati's webcomic, Sebastian and the Beast, but there's more buried in there; the rest of us have just been pretty crap about providing more content ^^a
Anyway, Mati also moved all of the stuff that was already on the LJ comm over to the IJ account; it's all there on Oct 26 '07 - including a few things by yours truly, in at least one of which I actually use the suction cup hickies joke ;) S&tB itself doesn't start until May 14 '09, which will hopefully make it easier to dig through the archives for more stuff.
So yes! Takoyaoi love! 100% consensual tentacles! Whee!

Yes, I can see why that'd be annoying. I hope you revolutionize the world of tentaclefic. :P
