"The Girl from the Village" by Paris Waterman (filthy sex).
Poison: 10, 8, 8
"The Girl from the Village" by Paris Waterman (the_panda@hotmail.com) Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan (poisoniv1@hotmail.com). --- In many ways, this is an ugly story. In the first half, the characters have bad breath and they haven't bathed recently. They fuck on a filthy, shit- strewn porch. The only reason they aren't disgusted with one another is each thinks they probably smell worse than the other does. Bruno and Ginger are the filthy couple, and while theirs isn't the prettiest fuck you'd ever want to see, at least they get off in a big way. The first half of this story documents Bruno and Ginger getting together for the first time. The story takes a turn when, in the heat of the moment, Ginger blurts out that she wants to be with another woman. Bruno gets pissed off, and Ginger receives a backhand to the face. It turns out that Ginger doesn't mind being hit, and Bruno apologizes. In fact, Bruno is so sorry he volunteers to help Ginger find a lesbian to have sex with. The lesbian they find isn't the nicest gal you'd ever want to meet, either. But at least this time everyone took baths first. The lesbian sex has an undercurrent of humiliation that sometimes made me uncomfortable. "The Girl from the Village" is not the kind of story I'd read for arousal, which probably explains why I thought the very long sex scenes were a little too long. And there were a few other minor problems. Ginger's confession that she wants to be with a woman is so unexpected that it didn't seem believable. And most of the story is told from Bruno's point of view (which was great), but there were a few short shifts to other perspectives that I found mildly distracting. That said, this story has a lot going for it. In more than fifty pages, I only noticed a handful of grammar or spelling errors. To this non-New Yorker, the characters speak with accents that sound real, which is very rare in ASS stories. Paris Waterman does an excellent job creating simple characters with simple drives. The sense of disgust in the first half is built up admirably. There are many nice descriptions along the way. The author has story-telling talent. If your kinks have something to do with filth and mild humiliation, you may like this story a lot.
