How much is too much?

[elly3981.livejournal.com]

I don't know if its just me, but when it comes to reading doujins, I enjoy loves scenes that are romantic and passionate but I cannot stand lewedness and vulgarity. I bought a number of doujins over the last few months, some I like very much while others I kind of regret buying because I find them too graphic for my taste. I know everyone has different tastes and to each his own but am I alone in disliking graphic images of body fluids and people's lower regions? How much is too much for your taste? And yes, I'm talking about some CG doujins I've seen but my question can apply to doujins of any series as well. Just curious to know what people out there think.

Curious, what are some examples of pairings/circles are you buying?

In terms of purchasing doujinshi, I'm with you. I love plot and characterization in anything I'm reading/watching so I tend toward the doujinshi which meet that criteria. I'm also really picky about what I buy, and tend to heavily investigate circles/books before purchasing. I don't mind adult content in my doujinshi, but not when it gets into pages of black bar censoring.

I find downloading to be a different case, just because you're not investing money into it and if you don't like it, you can just delete the files off your hard drive. And I think there's less of a guilt issue - my family is much more likely to pick a book off my shelf, and I don't want them finding anything unsavoury.
