"Paying the Price" by Javahead (an217242@anon.penet.fi). This story describes an interracial relationship; but its tone is quite different from the previous story. The man is happily married to an Oriental woman, who goes for a month-long trip to Hong Kong. When she returns she ad libs the role of a mail-order bride, and he plays along by assuming the role of the Western purchaser who is going to make the young woman comply with his every demand. The overwhelming tone of the story is that the man and woman regard one another as equals, and their enjoyment of the hot sex activities derives largely from their awareness that they are acting out phoney stereotypes rather than actually treating one or the other as inferiors. I liked this story a lot! (Rating: 10)
