"Distant Lover" By Ana Hernandez (real-life cybersex)
"Distant Lover" By Ana Hernandez (SinpleAna@aol.com). Guest Review by Sandman (sandman@bitsmart.com). The Internet may very well be one of the most important developments in the sexual revolution. Oh sure, Mr. Bell gave us all those 1-900 sex kitten lines, but it took the Internet to make it possible to meet someone three thousand miles away and get to know them well enough so that the moment you DO meet the other person it's hop right into bed time. No expensive dinners, no theater tickets, no walks along the beach, no pretending to like opera, heck in this story no condoms either (let us all contemplate the joys of safe sex for a moment). Just, "wow you look as great as your picture" and poof, you're off to a hotel room having the best sex you've ever had in your life. And it does happen. In my real life I have friends who met on the net and she moved from Georgia and married him. It apparently happens frequently in stories as well, even stories based on real life, which this one purports to be. And that is the premise of this story. A woman and man have a cyber relationship and take the ultimate step of moving fantasy into real life. The point of view is from the woman, and the author does a top notch job of exploring the anticipation and the fear of the first meeting and subsequent first fuck. This story is tasteful, erotic, and very sexy in a very believable way. There are a few mistakes in the story, but most of them are easily overlooked, and I really wont dwell on nit-picking. My main criticism is a good one actually -- the story left me wanting to know more about the characters. Yes I enjoyed this one, and yes I am most definitely recommending it. Ratings for "Distant Lover" Athena (technical quality): 9-- A few technical mistakes. Venus (plot & character): 10 -- Nice plot, nicely handled. Sandman (appeal to reviewer): 10 - Was the pierced tongue that turned the trick. |
