Celestial Reviews 302 - September 2, 1998

WINNER OF THE CELESTIAL VIRTUAL REALITY STORY CONTEST:

The winner of my Virtual Reality story contest is "Back To Reality" by Vickie
Morgan. It was a very close call between this and Stephanie's "African
Dreams." The two stories are in a sense opposites: Stephanie's is noteworthy
for its simplicity and Vickie's for the complexity of its plot.

I eventually gave the nod to "Back to Reality." The author handles the
complexity extremely well. The story is a wonderful exercise in imaginative
eroticism. For more details, see the review below.

I might add that this contest yielded several other stories that made my Top
20 for August. Thank you, authors, for some excellent stories.



Note: Although it doesn't mention my list, one of the stories reviewed below
("Get R.E.A.L." by Shon Richards) implicitly challenges many of the cliches or
credulous assumptions that I have challenged in my reviews. As a public
service, I am reposting my Celestial List of Credulous Assumptions

1. It is usually possible for a woman to estimate the size of a man's fully
engorged cock by gazing at his crotch when he is unaroused and fully dressed
and over ten yards/meters away.

2. Without the use of scientific instruments men can easily estimate the size
of women's breasts from across the room, even if the woman is fully dressed.
{Actually, this is no big deal, since nearly all attractive women have 38DD
bust sizes anyway.}

3. The normal sequence of sexual experiences is first petting, then oral sex,
then anal sex, then vaginal sex - usually all on the same date.

4. The first boy to touch a girl's breasts will come in each of her three
orifices within the next hour.

5. Most women would intensely enjoy sexual contact with another woman, but
most men would not enjoy sexual contact with another man, even if cultural
biases were eliminated.

6. Children who have sex with their parents normally enjoy this activity and
grow up to be emotionally mature honor roll students who will contribute to
scientific research and to world peace.

7. Ditto for sex with older siblings, kindly neighbors, and random strangers.

8. When sons, daughters, little brothers, or little sisters ask questions
about sex, the best way to answer their questions is to show them, using their
bodies as part of the demonstration.

9. When a spouse or lover catches his/her partner having sex with someone
else, the typical response is to join in.

10. Women typically have multiple orgasms during every fulfilling sexual
encounter.

11. Middle-aged men can typically have sex with copious ejaculations several
times a day for several days in a row.

10 & 11a. Women and men that can do so are happier and better sex partners
than those who have fewer orgasms.

12. Kids can go blind if they masturbate too often. {Ooops. That one
belongs on a different newsgroup!}

13. Kids who do not masturbate at least daily are severely disturbed.

14. It is important to pop a person's cherry before she gets out of high
school {or gets into high school, has her first date, gets married, buys her
first car, etc.}

15. Women typically enjoy getting raped, once they get over their
inhibitions.

16. Men who force women to have sex with them are sexy.

17. People can be turned into sex slaves by college kids who read a chapter
in a psych book. {Either that or some of these stories are written by Psych
profs who are really desperate to motivate their students to read a chapter in
their text book.}

18. If you ever get turned into a sex slave, it will be the best thing that
ever happened to you.

19. The typical male ejaculation shoots at least 12 inches through the air
{unless the penis is inserted into a receptacle which will terminate this
expulsion. In this case the ejaculate lands with the impact of a speeding
bullet.}

20. Most women ejaculate at least a pint of luscious fluid during a really
enjoyable sexual experience.

21. Most people get turned on when their partner treats them with extreme
cruelty for the partner's own personal gratification.

22. Most black men have "monster cocks." These 12- to 14-inch penises will
thrill any pussy (or other aperture) lucky enough to receive one. Black
women, however, do not have "monster cunts," nor do they appear to be all that
interested in the genitalia of their black brethren. Hence the reciprocal
fondness between black men and white women, especially those known as sluts.

23. The family that fucks together stays together.

24. It's more fun to have sexual intercourse when there's a genuine risk of
pregnancy. Offspring resulting from unprotected intercourse of minors tend to
be sexy honor students by the time they reach middle school.

25. Nuns {and English teachers, librarians, etc.} are really sexual dynamos.

26. Ain't nothing wrong with most frigid women that a riding crop won't cure.

27. Guys who go without underpants and have sex several times a day do not
develop a nasty rash.

28. Male doctors get their rocks off during physical examinations of female
patients. Female doctors have multiple orgasms whenever they examine a
beautiful person of either sex.

29. A girl will get her first orgasm from her first intercourse, usually
within minutes after having her hymen torn.

30. Most young girls are looking for experienced men to train them in sexual
practices. They want to start but they don't know anything about it. When
they find these instructors, they will say things like, "Yes, eat my pussy
now!" {Which is a strange request from somebody that doesn't know anything
about sexual practices.}

31. Most women who find that their husbands want to turn them out to their
friends respond, "Sounds like fun."

32. Most boys who are forced to act the part of a girl find that they love
the role. Unless this happens for the first time in a penal institution other
than school.

33. Parents routinely leave their bedroom doors ajar when they intend to have
sex, and kids do so when they intend to masturbate, which they do noisily
above the bed sheets.

34. Nobody ever farts while making love. Especially not during anal
intercourse. And even if they do, its never one of those rancid ones that
linger on and on. And even if it is, the partner thinks its sexy.

35. No one ever gets a cramp while making love. For that matter, no one ever
sneezes or has a nose so filled with snot that it's impossible to breathe,
much less give a blowjob.

36. The woman's vagina never makes that 'farting' noise due to trapped air in
there. If she does, this causes immediate orgasm in both partners.

37. Nobody ever forgets to wipe his/her ass prior to having it licked, which
is unfortunate, because most people absolutely love the taste of human feces.

38. The woman never says "Ouch! I wasn't ready! I'm too dry!" If she thinks
she wants to say these things, she instead says, "Fuck me harder!"

39. Men don't turn over and go to sleep immediately after sex.

40. Women don't fall asleep at the beginning of sex, when they feel so
comfortable and relaxed, and they can just let themselves go.... If they do
fall asleep, their partner regards this as a compliment.
