http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=237573218} When Susan was twelve and just
entering puberty, her father saw her naked one day and came to her in bed that
night. He told her that here mother no longer took care of his needs and that
he wanted Susan to help out. Then he fucked her; and it hurt.

Her father had split neatly into two people in her life. There was her Daddy,
whom she loved, who dropped her off at the school bus stop and helped her with
her homework, and who did nice things with her. But there was also the man
who came at night whenever the two of them were alone, and put part of his
body inside her body. When he came, he never struck her, or put the pillow
over her face, or anything so dramatic. They simply had sex. Both of these
men said they loved her, but she now understood that word to have two
different meanings. And neither man ever mentioned the other. It never
occurred to Susan to say anything about their relationship to her mother or to
anyone else. She simply got used to the visits and outwardly accepted them.

This is a very realistic description of typical pedophile activity. It is not
as enjoyable as the stories that describe "family fun" as a neat way for
children to grow up. I want to remind you that I have given high ratings to
well-written stories that present sex between adults and children in a much
more pleasant light than this one. I mention that because I don't want to
sound overly moralistic in this review. All I am saying is that I have known
lots of children who were sexually abused, and this story comes closer than
any other I have seen to describing the TYPICAL reaction of a child who is
coerced into having sex with her father. This story is not a turn-on - even
though it does have a "happy" ending; but I urge you to read it anyway. It's
one of the best stories I have ever seen on this newsgroup.
