Story Codes

Story codes are a tradition for online erotic stories. They are presented alongside the story title to indicate to the potential reader the general content of the tale. I've used the standard codes found on the net and those familiar with online erotica will know their way around them already.

Even people who are unfamiliar with story-codes will find many of them self-explanatory, but for the purposes of thoroughness, the most common ones are detailed below.

The codes used are split into several categories to define the basic content of the story:

  • Characters - the age and gender of the story characters
  • Activities - what the people defined in the above categories get up to when they finally get their clothes off
  • Extras - miscellanious info about the story and characters
  • Caution - extreme sexual acts that are an acquired taste. If you find them a turn-on, then fine, but otherwise, if they're not to your tastes, you'd be best avoiding the story.

    Characters

    Code Gender Age Group
    M Male Adult, aged 20 or older
    m Male Teenager, aged 13 to 19
    b Male Boy, aged 12 or younger
    F Female Adult, aged 20 or older
    f Female Teenager, aged 13 to 19
    g Female Girl, aged 12 or under



    Example combinations:

    Combinations can be used to identify the age and gender of participants in group-sex, with '+' after a letter indicating more than five characters of that group. For example:

    Activities

    These indicate at least on instance of the act in question, although it can also mean it takes place many times.
    Obviously, for sex stories it can be assumed there'll be at least some penetrative sex. However, the negative code of 'no-pen' means there is no full sex (although that could include masturbation or oral sex). This is used for early scene-setting chapters in multi-part stories where the sex occurs in a later installment.

    Code Sexual act
    oral Cock-sucking and/or pussy-eating
    anal Sodomy. Sex via the backdoor
    felch Sucking cum from pussies and/or arseholes
    facials Sperm being squirted all over faces
    bukkake Many ejaculations onto one person's face
    snow Snowballing. Swapping sperm mouth-to-mouth
    double-pen Double Penetration. Woman/girl being fucked vaginally and anally at the same time
    triple-pen Triple Penetration. Woman/girl being fucked vaginally, anally and orally at the same time
    3some, 4some Sex involving three and four people respectively
    group Five or more people having sex
    gang-bang Many men fucking one woman or girl (or boy)
    spank Spanking and mild corporal punishment
    les Lesbian sex

    Extras:

    These related to miscellanious information about the characters and/or story content.

    dom Domination. One character bullies the other, usually with the submissive character's consent

    Caution

    The relate to activites and themes that are either extreme, unusual or just generally ones that indicate you'll not enjoy the story unless the particular act or theme is to your taste.

    Code Activity
    incest* Sex between close family members (virtually all the stories here have this code)
    pedo Sex involving characters aged 12 or under
    gay Two men or boys having sex
    bi Males and females having sex with each other in a variety of combinations
    scat Playing with and/or eating shit
    WS Watersports. Pissing on (and in) people for pleasure


    *Note that 'Incest' is usually followed by the relationship in question e.g. mother/son, aunt/nephew, etc.

    There are a number of other caution codes - for example, 'n/c' (non-consensual), 'beast' (beastiality) and 'snuff' (murder) - which are not used in any of my stories.
