"Dancing in the Dark" by Weird Writer. Guest review by Dave Myers. { I got
two guest reviews of this one by mistake.}

The idea of an anonymous orgy is best suited to rather brief stories.
Otherwise the scene becomes too ridiculous and the step away from scents,
sounds, and ambiance is impossible since there won't be much character
development in an anonymous setting. That's why I'm glad this story stays
short. Even in 150 lines, though, it is quite possible to leave the reader
with the essence of too many jumbled body parts. Body parts are not the same
thing as the raw lust that should propel a scene like this.

Synopsis: Our narrator receives an invitation to a party, which turns out to
be an anonymous orgy taking place in pitch darkness. He has a good time.

Group sex is hard to write for. I give the author credit for not making a
total mess out of the situation, but there are a number of minor problems with
the narrative. First is the hokey way that our adventurous partygoer is coaxed
back into the world of the clothed (through what appears to be some sort of
knock out gas). There is also the issue of how incredibly quickly our virile
muffdiver manages to arrive at a second gushing orgasm, about 25 lines after
the first.

On the upside, the author gives us some rare male-male interaction amidst the
action. The narrator's reactions are positive, if slightly unrealistic for
what appears to be his first bisexual encounter. This passage could have been
better written. We also get refreshing giggles and laughter during the orgy
which manage to dispel what would otherwise be an over-serious affair, since
there is no dialogue in the sex scene.

Rating: 6.5
