"Imaginary Lover" by Rock Hancock (paranormal romance) 10, 9, 9
"Imaginary Lover" by Rock Hancock. --- There's a series of porn movies called "Passages," in which actresses named Christy Canyon and Jennifer Stewart (I think) make love to each other and to various guys, including a person whom they refer to as the "Imaginary Lover." Most porn movies are just fuck flicks with no emotion or plot, but I enjoyed that series. My husband developed a thing for Jennifer Stewart, and I filled in as her surrogate on several occasions. Because of this association, the title "Imaginary Lover" got me off to a good start with this story. {Please do not classify me as a porn connoisseur. With all the stories I have to read for this newsgroup, I no longer watch porn movies at all, and I don't miss them. Neither does my husband, who enjoys hearing me relate or act out the plots of the good stories more than watching people with silicone implants moan out of sequence with their sexual activities.} In the present story the narrator is in a bad marriage, but he has a friend with whom he exchanges passionate email messages and engages in phone sex. As our story begins he is awakening in the middle of the night with the distinct sensation of sexual stimulation, but he is definitely not giving Yul Brenner a high-five - that's a picturesque way of saying he is not engaged in hand-to- gland combat. Over the next several days he continues to experience increasingly vivid sexual pleasure, even though he's alone and is not the one who is packaging the ole sausage. I don't want to tell you more. It's a good story, but you need to experience it yourself. So if you're feeling lonely and don't want to spend the evening playing with your pink Power Ranger, you may want to give this story a try. There! I managed to refer to masturbation five times without mentioning anything about a pow-wow with the one-eyed Redskin or pumping gas at the self- service island.
