The Three Types of Thorki

As I've discovered in the course of my travels across the wild, wild internet, three types of Thorki are found there.

The first type consists of sweet, romantic and more-or-less innocent depictions of love between Thor and Loki. Heavy on images of hand-holding, kissing and hugging, it is sometimes dismissively or pejoratively referred to as "Thorki fluff." But I think that's both unfair and unduly cynical. Slash and yaoi are largely created by women for women and most of us, I believe, still value romance and emotion as the basis for sex. Plus, it's women who like to focus on and appreciate little heart-fluttering details like, for example, Thor's beautiful blonde hair and eyelashes:


And there's nothing wrong with that.

The second type of Thorki imagery is much more erotic but still not overtly graphic. Sexual activity is clearly being depicted but the details are left up to the viewer's or reader's imagination. If well done artistically, erotic Thorki can be great fun. And hot. Don't forget hot.

Most of the images I post on this blog fall into the first two Thorki categories.

The third type of Thorki is sexually graphic. Extremely graphic. It ranges from standard pornography right through every variety and degree of kink imaginable.

OMG they do what with Mjolnir? And right there on the Throne of Asgard?


The third type of Thorki also includes stuff that is downright criminal. No, I do not want to see or read about man/boy sex between an adult Thor and Loki as a child.


Trust me, none of that child porn will ever be posted on this site.

But there's nothing wrong or obscene with the graphic depiction of adult gay male sex in and of itself so I will occasionally post some if it is well done. So for example, here's the full scene from which that earlier detail was excerpted in this post. Hey, it's what gay men do.



However, most sexually graphic Thorki does not have the saving grace of artistic or literary merit and tends to be teeth-jarringly crude in both its content and execution. So there probably will not be a whole lot of it posted here, but there will be some.

In the meantime, cue the hand-holding and kissing, LOL!
