===================
It occurred to me today that starting a sex story In Media Res could
refer to starting while in the act of copulation, which in turn led to
me thinking about what stories are best suited to that type of story.
Which in turn leads to this question-- What are your favourite sex
story beginnings?
Oh, the how-to-write books all talk about starting in media res (Go
look up Aristotle's _Poetics_ if you don't know the term) or with the
inciting incident. And I'm not particularly fond of "Her name was
Francine Ursula Condoleeza Kane, and she lived up to her initials,
being tall (5'9") and slim (110 lbs) with improbably pert 38D breasts
and thick red-brown nipples that went _sproing_ when you sucked on
them (or so I was told by her father)."
My current favourite (yes, I'm writing the well-hung cuckold story,
and this is the current beginning): "A symptom, I guess, is that I
like to suck cock."
Yours?
