[UA] CotNG: Why no Avatars (was a jolly good fight)

The Object of Desire does work, but I still like the
WECHBY aspect. Scanning through my cloudy memory and I
remember something like this from Arthurian legend,
('twas the Grail Knights that sparked that one off),
and it involves King Pellinore and the Questing Beast.
The Questing Beast was pure fantasy-driven obsession
that Pellinore had to capture, but never could. This
would definately fit into the "Perfect Sexual
Aquisition" Object of Desire. 

People don't watch porno movies because they want to
hear about menstruation, shaving rash, and the dangers
of unprotected sex; they want the women who wants sex,
is willing to submit anywhere, anytime, anyhow. This
women will worship the man as a Sex God and utterly
succumbs to her enjoyment of the act.

Men that build up sexual fantasies based on porn stars
(such as the fictitious Naked Goddess) fuel the drive
for this archetype. The women that channel Object of
Desire, will probably suffer from some sort of
interrelationship emotional block, become a sort of
Ice Queen, that everyman, once experienced, will
become a wreck trying to get some sort of two-way
emotional bridge going.

Now we need the complementary archetype, the Crazed
Stalker...


Cheers,

Chris.
