"Fucking Carmody" by Mark Aster (sex instructions) 10, 10, 10
"Fucking Carmody" by Mark Aster (MYFrThAl@aol.com). This story serves as a useful lesson for understanding the difference between gerunds and participles. The F-word in the title is a gerund. That is, it is a verb used as a noun. As in "I enjoy fucking Carmody." What do you enjoy? Fucking Carmody. Why do you enjoy fucking Carmody? Well, because she's there, and she really enjoys fucking with almost anybody, and she's damned good at it. Carmody is the object of the gerund. Less grammatically, sex is the object of Carmody; and Carmody is the object of almost every guy with a dick, largely because she really gets into it when she fucks with somebody. The F-word in the title could be a participle, but it's not. If it were, then it would modify Carmody, not use her as an object. That's what participles do: modify Carmody and other persons, places, and things. Applied to Carmody, the F-participle would be an expression of disgust. As in, "That fucking Carmody won't let anybody stick his dick up her ass." That's true about Carmody, but it hardly matters, because 'most anybody's dick can be fucking happily just about anyplace else in or on Carmody's anatomy -– in which case the F-word would be a verb, a progressive verb to boot. When the F-word is applied to Carmody as a gerund, it takes a possessive "subject." That's because the subject is not really a subject, but rather a fucking modifier. So just as you would say, "I enjoyed watching some good fucking by Carmody," you would also say, "I enjoyed watching Henry's fucking Carmody." Well, that's what you would say if you were talking to an English teacher, unless you didn't want her to know about Henry –- she would probably already know about fucking Carmody.
