"Fearful Love" by Tom (intergenerational sex) 8, 4, 4
"Fearful Love" by Tom (tje@mail.nls.net). Guest review by DG. This is yet another story involving sex between a grown man and a young girl. I don't really like these stories, but I must admit I've become used to them after reading several. They don't turn me on, but they don't turn my stomach anymore either. These stories can be divided into two genres, which I'll call fantasy and reality. In a fantasy story, the children are essentially horny adults trapped in children's bodies who know exactly what they want, and everyone has a great time and is enriched by the experience. The children are often extremely young (under ten). No sane person would think that such a story has any relation to reality, so I suppose they're pretty harmless. A reality story takes at least some of its ground rules from real life. A common theme is a precocious (but still believable) child wearing down the resistance of an initially unwilling adult. The children are typically older - in their early to mid teens. An excellent example of this genre is Tom Bombadil's "Brenda - A Love Story." More disturbing (and most realistic) are stories where the adult preys on the child for sexual satisfaction, and the child does not enjoy the experience. A major problem with "Fearful Love" is that it starts out as a reality story and then abruptly turns into a fantasy story. A twenty-nine year old engineer starts dating a slightly older woman with an eleven year old daughter. Both of them are described as nice, sensible people, and their interaction is quite realistic. The daughter develops a serious crush on the guy, and starts following him around like a puppy. The guy realizes what is going on but doesn't have any interest in the girl, he's in love with the woman. So far so good: everything was quite realistic and plausible, and I was wondering where the author was going to go with it. Then we get the jarring sentence: "She thought that Jack would be a splendid first lover for her daughter." (No, it's not the misspelling of 'splendid' that's jarring.) Nothing in the story has prepared the reader to accept that this woman would want her eleven year old daughter to become sexually active, in fact, quite the opposite. From this point on, the story is pure fantasy - the man deflowers the daughter, bringing her to a few orgasms, while the mother watches and masturbates. Because the story started out with characters that seemed likable and well- drawn, I found this rather sordid. I think this author can do a lot better. The writing is competent, and the first part of the story is quite decent.
