Celestial Reviews 119 - September 21, 1996

Note: Occasionally I get e-mail from people who knew a sexy person named 
Celeste and want to know if I am that person.  I thought you might like to see 
the response I sent to the most recent person who wanted to renew old 
acquaintances with me.  (Names have been altered to protect anonymity.)

I am not Celeste Winokowski.  Celeste Winokowski is a person who often thinks 
of the great times she had with a person named Dale.  I have never had such 
thoughts.

Celeste is not my real name.  For that matter, Tipper Gore is not my real name 
either.  I’m more relieved by the latter than by the former.

Although I am not Celeste Winokowski, I DO think I know somebody (not 
including you) that knows somebody that knows her.  I say this because for any 
two people in America, there’s about a 90% chance that one of them knows 
somebody that knows somebody that knows the other.  However, there’s also a 
95% probability that neither of them will ever find out about this 
relationship.

The reason I know this is because a guy on an airplane used this information 
as a pickup line with me: “Hi. I know somebody that knows somebody that knows 
you.”  At first I thought he was crazy, but we discussed the matter; and by 
darn, he did!  If this were an a.s.s. story, he would have then slid his hand 
onto my thigh under the blanket, discovered that I wasn’t wearing panties, 
whispered into my ear words of endearment, driven me to an ecstatic orgasm, 
and invited me to reciprocate.  But he didn’t.  Which was nice, because my 
daughter was seated on the other side of me, enjoying the entire conversation.

I checked this theory with a friend of mine who is a statistician (actually, 
an actuary), and he said it was probably pretty accurate.  He told me if I 
added one person to the link, I could extend my generalization to all of the 
Western world.  (Actuaries easily get a little carried away when they talk to 
undercover sex goddesses).  When I told my husband about this, he suggested 
that it would be more fun and equally true to say, “I know somebody that knows 
somebody that has slept with you.”  In my case, this would merely put my 
husband rather than myself in the final link; but it does sound a lot more 
risque.

What all of this means relevant to this newsgroup is that even though you 
don’t know who your favorite author is, nevertheless you do know somebody that 
knows somebody that knows that author (or who has slept with him/her).  Of 
course, since that person is anonymous and since the two of you are not 
communicating, the chances are incredibly minuscule that you’ll ever find out 
any more details about this relationship.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Second Note:  When I discussed the problems and solutions regarding noise on 
this newsgroup, I neglected to mention the alt.sex.stories FAQ, which is 
posted monthly.  This was a serious omission.  It has recently been revised 
and updated; and several miniFAQs regarding specific topics are in the works.  
I urge you to check it out for good suggestions regarding reading and writing 
stories for this newsgroup.

Third Note:  The Web Page that used to archive my Top 100 Stories of 1995 has 
apparently stopped offering this service.  I have not been directly affiliated 
with that site and have had no control over it.  I’ll give you more details, 
if I ever obtain any.

* = Repost of a previous review.

“Seduction” by Michael K. Smith (mksmith@metronet.com).  Here are two 
simple rules of thumb, applicable only to monogamous relationships and 
stated in their most general form.  The first is that happily married 
spouses should not give or receive massages to or from scantily-clad 
in-laws who are staying over while the other spouse is gone.  The 
second is that if he or she breaks the first rule, the spouse should 
terminate the massage as soon as the sexual hardware kicks into gear.  
A corollary is that the spouse should not use phrases like "Let me move 
this out of the way" in any of the above circumstances.

This is a story about a man who breaks both of my rules while playing 
sexual chicken with his sexy sister-in-law who is living with them 
while she finds herself.  There is another rule that applies to in-laws 
who are “finding themselves,” but I don’t want to make this more 
complicated than it already is.  But once you’ve already broken all 
these rules, if the in-law asks, “What are you doing to me?" I suppose 
"Nothing you don't secretly want me to do” is about as good an answer 
as any.

Anyway, these people break all my rules and have a fine time doing it.  
This is a sexy story!

“Dutch Treat” by Mark (MarkB@aboy.demon.co.uk).  Let’s see.  “Dutch 
Treat” could be about a date with a woman who pays for the condoms.  
But since the story takes place in Amsterdam, it is probably about a 
sexual treat the guy receives from a Dutch woman.  I was close.  It’s 
about a sexual treat the guy DOESN’T receive from a Dutch woman.  It 
takes real skill to make something like that seem sexy!

“Trinity Trilogy Novel 11/14” by Tom Trinity (stbush@iglou.com).  The 
stories in this segment focus exclusively on the Trinity Plus One Plus 
Veronica and Val during a weekend of wild sexual acrobatics at the 
Trinity House.  We have daisy chains (e.g., Judy doing Veronica doing 
Candy doing Val) and circles (e.g., by adding Tom and Janie and closing 
the circuit).  It’s pretty hot stuff, even though it does get a bit 
confusing from time to time.  Eventually they make a videotape to 
record for posterity one of their epic orgies.

The most interesting part of this segment comes when they make a tape 
of each person describing his/her earliest sexual experience.  I felt I 
was listening to friends revealing their secrets, even though I knew 
full well that these were fictional characters.  Seventy-three stories 
can have that effect on a person, I guess.  Not surprisingly, Tom was a 
22-year-old English teacher when he first did it with a sensitive drama 
student.

“First Meeting” by MountainTop (Topspace4@aol.com).  The lady once 
wrote a story for an erotic newsgroup about a woman in a submissive 
relationship.  After that she read a story on a similar topic by 
another author and communicated with him about his story.  Her husband 
wasn’t interested in bdsm, and so she went out and tried a relationship 
with a stranger; but that attempt was a disaster.  She mentioned this 
via e-mail to the author of the other story, and he invited her to 
state her limits and join him for a session. She decided to accept his 
invitation.

The guy is a real prince.  He takes control; gives her a rose; buys her 
champagne; spanks her for wearing the wrong underwear, bra, and shoes; 
squeezes her nipples painfully; binds her; inserts a butt plug; and 
does other interesting things to turn her own.  She, of course, says 
“Thank you, Master” for all the pain he inflicts and has a roaring 
orgasm.

An interesting thing about this story is the description of the limits 
that the partners set before the tryst.  I have never done this, but I 
have read lots of bdsm stories this past year.  These rules make good 
sense and could even serve as useful guidelines for others interested 
in taking the plunge into tentative bdsm.

The story has some minor problems (such as accidentally alternating 
between Lisa and Karen for the woman’s name); but overall it’s a very 
good story.  Bdsm is still not for me.  I CAN see how pleasure can be 
heightened by contrasting it to pain, and I can understand how it could 
be pleasurable to be completely under the protection of a stronger 
Master who cares about me; but I am still turned off by the subservient 
attitude and the notion that a person who loves me would deliberately 
induce pain.  I’m not trying to convert anyone - just to explain my 
feelings.  If I DID decide to experiment with bdsm with someone other 
than my husband, I think I would use this story as a model.  Before you 
all rush out and buy butt plugs and head for the airport with your 
safewords, however, I want to remind you that this is fiction.  I 
suspect that in real life blind bdsm dates are at least as likely to be 
disasters as are more mundane, regular blind dates.

“The Flight” by Jym (ABC@XYZ.COM).  This story could be described as 
the dark side of the previous story. It depicts a really dysfunctional 
bdsm relationship.  From my perspective it supplies good reasons to 
avoid toying with bdsm with strangers; but I suppose bdsm enthusiasts 
might consider this to be the beginning of a really great relationship.

The story is about a young woman who gets picked up by a much younger 
female flight attendant.  She is easily seduced into having sex with 
the attendant on the plane, and then accompanies her home and becomes 
her permanent sex slave.  At the very end we learn that she is a “pain 
slut” - a term that apparently describes a woman who so much enjoys to 
suffer during sex that she looks forward to being casually strangled 
for the amusement of her lover.  The story is clearly written, but 
there’s not much really hot sex in it - unless you get turned on by the 
shock value of the “pain slut” concept.  Do such people really exist?  
I’m sure they do; but I think they represent a serious personality 
dysfunction rather than an alternative lifestyle.

“A Girl's Guide To Sex With Dogs” by Jamie Whitaker 
(4GirlsOnly@doggie.net).  At first I didn’t know whether this author 
was serious or joking. When the author describes the advantages of a 
dog compared to a human male lover, this story reads like one of those 
lists from rec.humor about “Why a Cucumber is Better Than a Man.”  Then 
she introduces the argument that “if God didn't want us to do it with 
dogs, he wouldn't have made dogs so interested in sniffing and licking 
human females.”  That runs basically parallel to the Natural Law 
argument against contraception used by the leader of a major modern 
religion.  Is she serious?  Is the pope Catholic?  Do dogs sniff women 
when they are in heat?  {That last question presents a real grammatical 
dilemma.}

The author covers the full range of doggie sex.  One of the nicest 
things about allowing a dog to lick your snatch, she points out, is 
that most male dogs will spend much more time than a human male 
providing you with the most electrifying oral sex.  Dogs are also more 
prone to analingus than most guys.  The oral pathway is a two-way road; 
‘tis blessed to give as well as receive oral sex with Rover.  The 
author’s extensive research with doctors and veterinarians has revealed 
that “a dogs cock is three times cleaner that a mans cock. A dog will 
spend considerable time every day cleaning it, how many men do you know 
that do that?”  No similar data are available on dogs’ ANAL channels; 
but as long as you can ignore the flies, I don’t see the problem.  The 
main negative effect appears to be a complete absence of apostrophes in 
the writing of the doggie cocksucker.

If you decide to have vaginal sex with Rover, the author recommends a 
missionary position with the female “siting on the edge of a chair” - 
although the clitoris may receive better agitation with a doggie-style 
approach.  There are special considerations for anal doggie sex.  For 
example, you may not always be successful with achieving penetration 
and if you do you may wind up with his knot inside you.  As I 
understand it, that could mean either a very long anal session or you 
could have to answer the doorbell with a dog stuck to your ass if your 
mother or the paper boy happens to call within the next 15-45 minutes.  
I’m sure someone can write a story about that experience.

Although this article did more to arouse my mirth than to turn me on 
sexually, I have to admit that this author may have something here.  If 
a person has a docile dog who is willing to serve as a living dildo, 
why not?  The natural question, of course, is “Will this really work?”  
My honest answer is I don’t know.  I don’t have a dog.  I do however, 
own some fish; and from what I can observe, the natural lip motion of a 
fish might make it an even better lover than a dog.  In addition, a 
fish is much like a man, since it seems to be talking all the time, but 
nothing intelligible ever comes out.  And I really do like the idea of 
doing it in the water.

“Morning Rush” by Unknown Author (ocean@iafrica.com).  I don’t like the 
advertisements and especially the wannafucks that clutter up the 
postings in this newsgroup.  The exception occurs when a person writes 
a good story and attaches at the end an appeal to subscribe to his 
service.  I’ll grant this author a related exception.  The “story” is 
basically a wannafuck from a guy to any interested females.  He 
describes in sensuous detail a ride in the morning rush hour during 
which he brings his lover to orgasm while she drives the car.  Then he 
concludes with a plea for interested ladies in the audience to send him 
their thoughts.  The story is not going to make my Top Fifteen list; 
but aside from some grammatical anomalies, it’s pretty good.  It beats 
the hell out of posts whose title lines say “hot for sex??? Try chokin 
my chicken” or “bimale likes being told what to do.”

“Jasmine and the Purple Panties” by Huntsman (kender@ozemail.com.au).  
Jasmine is a teenager who goes to a garage sale and buys a pair of Papa 
Petrofile's Pregnancy Promoting Purple Panties. . . Patent Pending.  
She wears them, and she begins virginally pregnant, which turns on 
Billy, another teenager who has lusted after Jasmine from afar.  It 
turns out that Papa Petrofile's Pregnancy Promoting Purple Panties make 
their owner horny as well as pregnant.  I probably shouldn’t tell you 
this, because it may spoil part of the ending; but after Billy screws 
Jasmine, she gives birth after about a 48-hour gestation period to a 
very mature baby that’s already pregnant.  It’s not really clear how 
all this happens - it’s just magic, I guess.  I thought this was mostly 
silly; but it did have a kind of odd fascination.  Actually, as I 
prepare to teach my current unit on English literature, I notice that 
Beowulf has equally silly notions in it.  But Beowulf reflects the 
religious and cultural ethos of Medieval British Culture;. Papa 
Petrofile's Pregnancy Promoting Purple Panties would fit more 
appropriately in a bad Canterbury Tale.

“Consuming Passion” by PleaseCain (pleasecain@aol.com).  This a bizarre 
story.  A really bizarre story.  The guy lures women to his treehouse, 
where they expect to have passionate sex with him.  Then he devours 
them - literally.  But then he meets his match.  You’ll have to read 
the story to believe it.  Parts of this story were very hot and sexy, 
but other parts were interesting because they were so unusual.   If you 
want a more normal story by the same author, try the next one.

* “Doorjam” by PleaseCain (pleasecain@aol.com).  This story about a man 
picking up a prostitute held my rapt attention from the moment I 
started until I had read the last line.  It's not romantic; it's not 
exactly a turn-on; but it certainly is a good sex story.

“Cinderella” by Seafire. There are several approaches one could take to 
writing a version of “Cinderella with an attitude.”  For example, 
consider the following dialogue:

“I can’t have sex with you.  My stepmother says I can’t have sex until 
both of my stepsisters are married.”

“Fuck your stepmother!  Fuck your stepsisters!  I want to make love to 
you tonight.”

And so they fucked her stepmother and fucked her stepsisters and then 
made love to each other and lived happily ever after.

Or maybe this one:

“What ELSE can you do with a glass slipper!?”

But the present story takes a more conservative approach.  Since she is 
their slave anyway, the stepsisters decide to put her to a more 
practical use than merely doing the dishes and scrubbing the floors; 
they make her Cinderella into their sextoy. The twin bitches pierce 
Cinderella's pert little nipples and her inner labia and insert 
horseshoe rings and other adornments. They also make her wear a butt 
plug all the time; and they make her do all manner of lewd things to 
them.  Being an obedient and resourceful girl (also known as a good 
victim), Cinderella comes to love what they do to her. She even learns 
to use her anal sphincter to milk her butt plug in and out until she 
can make herself orgasm.  The stepmother, of course, joined in the 
festivities, often dressed in her bright red body suit, and 
occasionally urinating on Cinderella during her obscene activities.

As you may have suspected, the Prince, who is famous for his balls, 
holds a Great Party, to which the stepmother and stepsisters are 
invited, while Cinderella is scheduled to stay home and scrub floors 
and masturbate.  Of course, the fairy godmother comes, dresses 
Cinderella up, is so overcome by the young girl’s beauty that she gives 
her a tongue job; which causes Cinderella to come for the first time 
that evening.  As a final touch she changes the mundane, ordinary butt 
plug into a beautiful crystal plug with a scarlet plume.  This is not 
to be confused with Papa Petrofile's Purple Pucker Plug . . . Patent 
Pending, which is a completely different story.

When Cinderella arrives at the ball, she is fit to fuck, because the 
coachman has been cracking the whip all the way, and that has really 
turned her on.  Actually, I added that part.

Anyway, Cinderella becomes so engrossed with the Prince’s cock that she 
ignores the clock; and midnight comes shortly after she does, and so 
she has to go rather abruptly.  I won’t ruin the ending for you.  
Suffice it to say that it is not a glass slipper that all the maidens 
of the land try on in order to establish their claim on the Prince and 
his balls .

Did you ever wonder what Cinderella’s father was doing during this 
fairy tale?  That question continues to go mostly unanswered.  In spite 
of that omission, this was a most enjoyable story.
