* "Taxi, Sofa, Bedroom" by Deidre Ng (fantasy & romance) 10
* "Taxi, Sofa, Bedroom" by Deidre Ng. The title of this story is actually the answer to a question. If you scan any of the sex or humor newsgroups, you'll always find listings that are labeled "Strangest Place You've Had Sex?" Apparently a game show host (maybe on Love Connection) or a talk show host (maybe Jay Leno) - the legends vary - once asked a sweet young thing, "Where's the strangest place you've ever had sex?" - expecting an answer like in the girls' locker room or on top of a flag pole. The unabashed answer was, "I guess that would be in the ass." On one of the newsgroups there has been a furious debate over whether the answer was "in the ass" or "up the ass." So that's the history behind this title - only in this case the question was "Where do you like to get kissed?" and her answer was "On the inside of the thigh," while his was "Taxicabs, sofas, bedrooms, most anywhere, really." Oh - and that's also the order of places in which the couple in the story make love - taxicab, sofa, bedroom. The most erotic aspect of this story, I think, is the way in which the female protagonist fantasizes to her date about what she imagines he will do to her. It's really hot stuff. I'm writing this part of the review while they're on their way from the sofa to the bedroom. So far, my panties aren't wet; but that's because in the spirit of the story I took them off in the restaurant - which was even before the taxi. Well, I've finished the story, and her fantasies where fulfilled. Another excellent story. (Rating: 10) |
