April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

BlockedCan't speak about art, but I'd certainly never bother writing porn that WASN'T worth fapping to.

MemberWhat would take me to arrange a meeting with him?
(Or at least some artwork?)

MemberThe answer is: lots, if you're drawing something erotic, you're paying attention to every single detail. As long as it's something the artist is into, it's hard not to get distracted
DieselWzl
MemberI know tons of artists that don't or can't fap to their own work.
JustAnotherPerson
MemberWelp, I can't speak for all kinds. I guess it would be either the type of people I've asked or a personal thing, but it always seemed fairly common to me

MemberNo idea who's down voting this comment, but I used to write a lot of furry smut, and I've found as a general rule, if you can't get off to it, why would you assume anyone else can? It's done me pretty well in the past following that mentality.
DieselWzl
MemberTo reiterate what I said about artists, there are plenty of writers who cannot get off to their own works, and it has nothing to do with it not being good enough. Many creators can't find appeal in what they create because of the mental work they put into it. With stories, they already know what's going to happen, so there's nothing to surprise them and get them going. Also, speaking from experience, re-reading smut I've written just causes me to see all the flaws, which just ends up being distracting.
