I've oftened heard his later works compared with pornography. Is it really that bad?

did you know, the kung fu genre (in film, 70s) is closest to the porn industry in the way titles are mass produced?

anyone ever saw 'confessions of a chinese courtesen' a wuxia movie with a little gu long in it.

Gu Long is just... very descriptive and generous on the hot scenes
True about Huang Yi, heh.
But nevertheless I think the works of either of them are still far from being outright pornographic. Most of it can be attributed to having to satisfy a certain aethestic style, and the language is rather euphemic and literary, even if only literary in the sense that the tradition of pornographic writing is no less old than wuxia. The presence of graphic passages certainly shouldn't deter from reading the novels and forming an opinion based on the whole of it.

No. It isn't that GOOD to be considered pornography, or erotic literature.Originally Posted by Dennis Chen

Gu Long can be very suggestive and descriptive, but still quite far from pornographic.

Do you actually watch porn yourself?
I DO.
Trust me, Gu Long and Huang Yi are nothing compared to real hardcore porn.

Oh no! You're gonna get hundreds of angry parents after you as you show their teenaged angels on Spcnet your wicked ways of watching dirty sexual materials and the objectification of the great and much loved women. I fear for you, my man. Better watch your back.Originally Posted by Laviathan

Considering the fact that Wuxia novels are all filled with scenes of people being killed in often gruesome ways, I just find it amusing that people make such a big fuss about a little consensual sex...
About the angry parents: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Oh no, my friend, you obviously haven't experienced the wrath of God-fearing law-abiding protectors of innocent little teenaged kids from the greatest country in the world: America. Your feeble skills are no match for their powers.Originally Posted by Laviathan

agree with this!Originally Posted by Sepiraph
I doubt any of these wuxia novels can be more porno than the general romance novels that teenage girls are reading now.

I mean english romance novels lah. Never read chinese romance novels before. But I did ask my friend once whether chinese romance novels also have explicit bed scenes, and she said yes. Sorry, I didn't ask for the book titles, so, can't help u there, Candide.

I didn't ask for details. So, sorry, dunno. I always assume by 'explicit scenes', it mean those as detailed as the english romance novels. Whether my friend is of the same wavelength as me or not, I don't know.Originally Posted by Candide
