Celestial Reviews 282 - May 11, 1998

Note: From the "Say It Ain't So" Department," here are the Three Kinds of
Married Sex:

House Sex: When you're newly married, and have sex, all over the house, in
every corner in every room.

Bedroom Sex: When you've been married for a while, you just have sex in the
bedroom.

Hall Sex;  After you've been married for many years, you just pass each other
in the hall, and say, "Fuck you".

Second note: A very modest lady applied for a job at the factory where they
made "Tickle me Elmo dolls".  It was Friday and almost quitting time and
hurriedly the boss told her to report for work on Monday.  He quickly
explained to her that she would be stationed on the assembly line just before
the dolls were packed into boxes. On Monday they started up the line and
within twenty minutes had to shut it down because one worker couldn't keep up.
The boss went down the line to find the problem.  The new employee was very
busy trying to do her part but she had a bunch of dolls waiting for her.
Closer examination showed she was sewing  little cloth bags containing two
walnuts in the appropriate place on the dolls.

The boss could not control his laughter and said, "Lady, I said to give each
doll Two----Test----Tickles."

Final note: Remember: even though someone else may be posting my reviews for
me, my e-mail address is still Celeste801@aol.com.

"Angie Baby" by Tom Bombadil (stbush@iglou.com).  
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=351990829

This story was inspired by a mid-seventies song written by Alan O'Day and sung
by Helen Reddy. It tells the tale of a unusual girl who is a special lady who
is quite different from normal people, in more than just her sanity.

     Angie, baby, you're a special lady
     Livin' in a world of make believe - well, maybe
     Stoppin' at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind
     Cause he's been peekin' in Angie's room at night thru her 
       window-blind
     I see your folks have gone away, would you dance with me today
     I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby

That about sums it up, except to say

     When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked 
       into a play
     And the music's so loud it spins him around 'til his soul has 
       lost its way
     And as she turns the volume down, he's getting smaller with the 
       sound
     It seems to pull him off the ground, towards the radio he's 
       bound 
     Never to be found

What the author has done is take the song and build a really strange but
interesting story around it.

"The Ballad of Jenny Mae" by the BEAR (posted by Commander Jamison).
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=351990766 (1)

There are two authors who post here who call themselves the Bear.  This one is
the Older Bear.  He often writes about sex between adults and very young
people.  The Younger Bear never does that.

This story is in the form of a ballad.  If you read it, just imagine Johnny
Cash singing it to the tune of "Sink the Bismarck," and it will all make
sense. As the author tells us right up front, the older man has sex with the
younger girl, but he pays.

Poetry - even a raunchy ballad - evokes very subjective reactions. I may have
been influenced by the fact that a song about an old guy fucking a 14-year-old
is not my cup of tea.  Of course, my husband has been lusting over Lee Ann
Rimes since she was that age, but that's something entirely different - isn't
it?

Still, this was an interesting if not euphoric little ditty.

"All For Me" by Unknown Author.
{Not Archived}

The last time I reviewed this story it was entitled "All of Me" by a person
named Trilobyte.  That title makes more sense.

The young lady goes to the church and confesses her sins to Father Ryan.
Until recently she had been a virgin, but then her best friend's nerdy brother
stuck his penis through the bottom of a box of popcorn at a movie and offered
her some, and before you could count to three million by tens she had become
the village slut.  It even turns out that Father Ryan was one of the guys who
had gangbanged her when she was blindfolded.  Imagine that.

"Aces" by Sandman (sandman@bitsmart.com). 
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350633074

Piper and Bandit are aces.  That is, they are Top Guns.  That is, they are
fighter pilots who shoot down enemy planes in a heroic manner, thus earning
themselves adrenaline rushes and numerous drinks as their reward.

In this case, Piper has saved his friend Bandit, whose ass was grass until the
hero shot down the Chinese enemy in a marvelous manner.

Then they go on leave.  Piper is a straight family man, loyal to his wife
Ilene, whom he hasn't been with in over a year.  Bandit is the Playboy of the
Western and possibly Eastern World.  They are on leave in Los Angeles, a city
with a couple of million angels - er, women - to steal Bandit's attention.
But then Bandit develops an eye for Ilene, and Piper's leave ends four days
before Bandit's.  What kind of an asshole would chase after the wife of his
best friend - especially his best friend who has just recently saved him from
certain death?  Stay tuned to find out.

This is an excellent story.  Good romance and hot sex in the context of a good
action plot.  What more could you ask for>

"Redemption" by Dafney Dewitt (DafneyDewit@Juno.com). 
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=352286347

This is a parody of the "Law and Order" television show.  Claire is an
assistant district attorney.  Stone is an asshole whom she sent to the
slammer.  Tommy is Claire's mentally retarded brother.  Stone gets Tommy
involved in sexual and criminal activity to get back at Claire.  He hopes
eventually to strip Claire of all her dignity.  The plot gets really
complicated.  Had this happened to the assistant district attorney in Dallas,
she would have simply reported the matter to Chuck Norris, who would have
kicked but for her.

I felt this was an interesting attempt, but a not-quite-satisfying story.  The
sex is not really hot; the focus is on sexual blackmail rather than sexual
activity.  Ultimately, there are a few too many loose ends.

First, this offering by Parker, "Stacy's Senior Year," is a strong story, even
compelling.  Unfortunately, so was Hitler and Charles Manson. Technically,
it's a well-crafted bit of writing centered around a strong plot. Well, it
starts out strong but quickly reaches a plateau and then never progresses.
It's a black story about equally murky people who live lives of deep,
resentful anger and thrill only to the unceasing denigration of others.

The characters are all caricatures - exaggerations of human failings and
without redemption.  The women are either drop-deal gorgeous and totally
narcissistic or are short, squat, fat toads.  The men are either faceless,
muscle-bound behemoths on the football team or are skinny, pimply, four-eyed
nerds.  In the 350K bytes (>60,000 words) of this novella, there is not one
healthy, admirable, attractive person. This quickly became a dreary and off-
putting landscape of vengeful and angry dysfunction.

The story line centers around revenge.  Over-the-top revenge.  For all the
times that inadequate, nerdy guys have felt put down by cheerleader-
attractive, vein and spiteful bitches, this story by Parker provides the
vehicle for a seeming unending sequence of excess, all in the name of getting
even.  That the magnitude and character of the revenge is so extraordinarily
disproportionate to the offense never surfaces as an issue. Indeed, it serves
as no more than a justification for exorbitance.

Stacy, the prototypical haughty bitch, is blackmailed by the nerd kingdom.
Face is everything and to save that, she's got to do whatever she's told.
That goes so far beyond the personal sexual gratification of the nerds, it
quickly passes through unlikely and mind-boggling into the land of shameful
excess.  With mild fascination, I read the first fifteen or twenty percent of
the book.  Then with mindful determination bred of duty, I read the next ten
or fifteen percent.  At this point it was clear I was on a plateau of
malediction characterized by a slowly moving muddy stream of slur,
disparagement and invective abuse.  When I didn't think it could get any
worse, it got worse.  This is embittered stuff of the first magnitude.

Stacy must fuck 50, then 55, then 65 and finally 66 of her school mates, to
include at least one woman and at least one teacher.  Why not 500?  After no
notable conclusion, the story stops.  There's no literary ending; there's just
a place where Parker grew weary and stopped the hateful story.

I suppose for the resentfully angry and embittered fans of this genre, this
might loom as a major work.  If nothing else, it served to underline the
gratitude that I live in a different world.

"Such A Gift!," by Quasi Bear (q_bear@hotmail.com). Guest Review by R'khaan
(rkhaan@ix.netcom.com).
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350872335

If semi-hardcore S&M is your cup of tea, this story might be just what you're
looking for.  The author doesn't waste much time getting to the point of the
story as the narrator's sitting drinking iced tea with Gina, some PYT (pretty
young thing) his wife, Alex, has picked up from some where.  The narrator was
told by his wife to keep his hands off Gina - she a treat for him.  Once Alex
gets home, she orders Gina to strip right there on the porch and proceed to
put a choke chain and leash on the girl.  What happens next is a mixture of
bondage, S&M and audio-voyeurism - the narrator isn't allowed to watch the
proceedings.  So, within earshot but out of site, the narrator listens to Alex
having the time of her life with Gina.

The author does a good job letting you use your imagination as to what's going
on behind the closed door.  After a while, Alex emerges and leads our horny
narrator to the scene - his gift, I presume.  Once in the room, he finds Gina
trussed and stuffed like the proverbial Christmas turkey; an interesting touch
is the presence of needle caps in great abundance in the room.  I'm surprised
the author added the needles, with all the concern these days over HIV, AIDS,
and hepatitis.  However, whatever floats your boat, right?

Anyway, the narrator gets to have his way with the helpless Gina, much to his
(and Gina's) delight.  What tickled me was the part when Alex asks her master,
the narrator, for permission to cum.  He gives it and she blows her cookies
instantly and gives big time props to the premise that women are in better
control of their orgasms than men are.  Hell, I wish I could get my woman to
come on command…

In his preface to this story, the author warns this story may not be
appropriate for the usual groups - and grammar freaks.  With this in mind I'll
get to the technical aspects of this story.  Throughout the story, you can
tell the author is either British or Canadian by his use of the UK spelling of
the word "civilized," spelled with an "s".  Grammatically, it's not bad;
however, there are too many short sentences for this reviewer's liking.

"Tryst and Tempest" by Oscar Paco (OscarPaco@aol.com). Guest review by jubjub.
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832207

Story Summary:  Man tells about his unfaithful wife

This is a story that should have been rewritten.  It reads like a rough draft
for a creative writing assignment.  The verbs are largely passive and the
sentences are broken up by too many asides.  Tightening up the writing and
putting more action words in would have improved the flow of the story.  There
were also a few spelling, homophone and grammar errors.

The plot is basic:  Guy comes home at noon for a quickie; finds wife already
having one.  Guy finds himself turned on and decides to keep what he saw to
himself.  Later tells wife what he saw only to find that she made videos.  All
this is told without sufficient emotional depth to make the reader care what
happens to anybody.  Greater emphasis on the inner thoughts of the narrator or
a better description of the wife's attitudes is sorely needed.  Worse, the
story seems to end abruptly and doesn't quite match up with the introduction.

It's a nice story for a creative writing class (I would give it a B+) but the
sex is underdescribed and flat.  Not one of the better stories that I have
read.

Technical: 8 Good but a rather boring style

"Cal and the Card Game(s)" by Unknown.  Posted by MrRedWings
(mrredwings@aol.com).  Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan.
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832140

The best card games in the world are played in alt.sex.stories.

The husband in this story must be the worst poker player on the face of the
Earth.  After he loses all his money, all the poker buddies leave, except
Calvin.  Calvin says he'll keep playing, if the husband will agree to use his
wife's clothes for the ante.

A few hands later, his wife is naked.  Calvin suggests they can continue
playing if the wife will remove Calvin's clothes whenever Calvin loses a hand.
Seems logical to me!  After this little agreement, hubby's luck changes, and
he can't seem to lose a hand.  The wife strips Calvin's clothes off piece by
piece, until Calvin's big black eleven-inch cock rears up.

It turns out the wife has had a long-standing fantasy to be fucked by big
black cocks. Those fantasies are then fulfilled.

In many ways, this is just a plain ridiculous story.  But I give the author
some credit-- he makes a half-hearted attempt to explain the wife's obsession
with black men.  As slut wife stories go, this one isn't bad, but it's nothing
special.

"Hospitality" by Yarblack (yarblack@aol.com).  Guest review by Sandman

http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11039.txt
http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11037.txt

I have a love/hate relationship with this author.  I love the care he takes to
develop his plot and characters.  I love the way he can make a slut wife story
seem believable, tangible and even desirable.  

Take for instance "Hospitality" where we have a happily married couple who as
a favor allow a hot stud to stay in their house so he can attend college.
This computer geek is tall, well built, handsome, and believe it or not --
decent and shy.  Alana, Kevin's wife, actually has to WORK at getting Toni to
fulfill her and her husband's fantasies.  

The summary doesn't sound so believable does it?  That's because all the
wonderful details, hints, and personality quirks are missing -- things
Yarblack supplies in abundance.  Shoot, the sex is even hot, which is a pretty
good quality to have in this newsgroup.

The hate part comes in because of the TRIVIAL problems that prevent this story
from being a truly orgasmic read.  For one there is no blank line between
paragraphs (Not necessarily a point reduction but it tends to set the story on
that slippery slope).  There are a few misused words and ambiguous sentences
that I might have overlooked if those were the only problems with this story.
But alas, again the biggest problem with this story is with the formatting
which causes the story to read like this paragraph: Readable but distracting.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have a truly wonderful story,
something that on plot, character, and appeal (oh yea, and the sex) I'd be
recommending to Celeste as a top 20 candidate, and have to give it anything
less than a perfect score.   So it's not going to get the perfect score.  It's
not going to appear on the top 20.  But it is good and it is hot and it is
worth trying to read through the frustrating formatting.

"Four Seasons: June Revelations" by Crimson Dragon. Review by Nick (email:
Nick@cassandra.demon.co.uk)
http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=350832259

This is the last story in the set, and I have to confess that I've only read
two of them - this one and Harvest Moon. I wondered if I should read the other
two before reviewing this; but I decided that since this was a set, not a
series, the story ought to stand on its own and be reviewed as such.

Those who have read the set will know that it covers the development of a
lesbian relationship between two young girls, Kate and Linda, over the period
of a year. At this final stage the girls have fallen out over Linda's
"infidelity" to Kate with a young man, and the story covers how they get back
together.

This seems like good material for passionate making-up scenes, but instead the
writer has chosen to concentrate on the emotional tension between the two
girls. What sex there is, is pretty insignificant and only takes place within
the last few paragraphs.

For me the only character who works well is Kate's father, who, it turns out,
is more knowing about Kate's night-time excursions with Linda than expected
(but not *that* knowing!). There is a little technical mess as to whether he
has degreased his hands or not after repairing his tractor... (possibilities
there perhaps!? - Well not in a story of this type.)

As for the slow painful reconciliation of Kate and Linda, this seemed a bit
lumpy, and I found myself almost crying out: 'Look, you want it - she wants
it, why not just...do it!!' Well, perhaps my understanding of the female mind
is lacking! Even so, if Linda's betrayal of Kate hurt that much, I would have
expected to see some anger there or at least more insight as to what's going
on in her head. Instead we are simply told how difficult Kate finds it to
forgive (not really why) and how both of them have been crying every night
since *it* happened. Personally I found this just frustrating!

In the end, the situation isn't really resolved. It has the potential to be
quite a good ending, in showing how the bond between the two girls has matured
as a result of the experience. A few more lines could have brought this out,
but instead we are left with too much of a question mark which doesn't really
suit the end of a set.

In short, this may work for some of those who prefer to explore the emotional
side rather than the sexual side, but it didn't work for me. I preferred
harvest Moon, and I know this writer can do better!

In marking this, by my standards I would give it 8 for Technique, 6 for plot
and character and 6 for general appeal. Normalizing this to the "Celestial
Standard" my ratings are:

Athena (Technical)       - 9
Venus (Plot & Character) - 8
Nick (Appeal to me)      - 6

A nice sexy premise, some good writing, some hot sex.  We have a young artist
and a well-built model, with the refreshing difference that the artist is
female and the model is male.  But the end result is about as expected <grin>.
The subject line gave a storycode of "f/m"; to put it strictly in the Current
Convention, it would be "MF", or possible "FM".  Adults

The author uses a couple of related interesting gimmicks here.  The story is
told twice, once from the viewpoint of each character.  To help us compare the
two versions, the paragraphs are numbered.  The numbering strikes me as sort
of silly; given that the two accounts are very similar in all particulars, I
can't imagine that a reader would need any help in figuring out what parts of
the two go together!  And, more deeply, it seems sort of a waste that the two
accounts are SO similar.  I imagine the author intends there to be interesting
differences between them, but I didn't find any in a natural reading (and I'm
not willing to do a line-for-line comparison to look for them).  The two
stories are really just the same one story twice, with a few slight nods to
point of view.  In some cases, the two are nearly word-for-word identical:
"squeezed my middle finger deep into her cunt alongside my tool" vs. "squeezed
a finger into my cunt alongside his tool", for instance.  So it was really
like reading the story twice, which was OK since it was a nice sexy story, but
it didn't live up to the expectations engendered by the device.

Numbers (noting that I'm a hard grader):

Athena: 8 (good writing, sort of distracting paragraph numbers)
Venus: 9 (pant, pant)
Mark: 8 (good story)

The normal thing to do with mothers and mothers-in-law in stories on this
newsgroup is to ignore them or to have sex with them.  Jeanette has the Mother
from Hell.  In this story she calls her mother to wish her a Happy Mother's
Day.  The conversation is very well written, full of ordinary words and
sentences that normal people exchange every day.  Within just a few seconds I
didn't like Jeanette's mother at all.

When we celebrate Mother's Day we often fail to think about how painful that
holiday can be to a woman whose own mother is a bitch and who wants to become
a mother herself but has been unsuccessful.  Bob recognizes Jeanette's
difficulty and is very supportive.

I suppose this story could be understood and enjoyed in stand-alone isolation,
but then you would miss the fun of fitting this story in with the entire saga
of Bob and Jeanette Brennan.  These are two normal people who are struggling
to make ends meet while they are growing into a loving couple in the early
years of their marriage.  If you haven't read all the stories, check Dejanews

missed.

The actual proportion of text devoted to hot sex in this episode is relatively
small, but I found this to be a very sexy chapter in the lives of this couple.

The woman's husband is impotent.  She has been working with a man to whom she
is attracted, and she is certain the attraction is reciprocal. She'd love to
have his baby, but nothing is likely to come of the relationship.  Then one
night a burglar breaks into their workplace and forces them to have sex while
he watches.  Actually, this plot sounds kind of lame the way I tell it; but I
thoroughly enjoyed this story.

This story was inspired, in part, by an article in Psychology Today that
outlined recent theories on the female orgasm.

Don and Kathy are in love and want to have a baby together.  As good luck
would have it, they are married (to each other!), but as bad luck would have
it, Don has to go out of town on business for a month just when Kathy knows
she will be most fertile.  Can this happy marriage survive this trauma?  I
know enough from watching "Days of Our Lives" to suspect that their marital
bliss will be disrupted.  Stay tuned for the next paragraphs!

As soon as Don leaves, Kathy desperately misses him. To make matters worse,
she has just stopped taking the pill; and so she is "more responsive," as her
doctor, who displays Psychology Today along with Cosmopolitan and Readers
Digest in his waiting room, put it.  So when she finds herself getting horny
watching a sexy show on television, she reaches for the vibrator and responds
happily to its stimulation.  As we fade to commercial, Kathy is recovering
from the best orgasm she has had in the long week since Don has been absent.

But wait!  Something's gone berserk on my mental TV screen.  People are
humping, but that's not Don and Kathy!  It's not even Bo and Hope or John and
Marlena and/of Kristen!  It's a bunch of primitive tribesmen and women!  My
mental TV screen has merged my soap opera with the Discovery Channel!  I am
reminded of those days back in the library of my Catholic school when the boys
used to read National Geographic so that they could see the Naked Natives of
Namibia.  But I digress.  A primitive woman is describing her difficulties
getting pregnant.  Not having a gynecologist or Psychology Today, she is
acting on the theory that her infertility problem arises from the fact that
her mating hole doesn't suck at her mate's skin staff the way other women's
do.  Neither Doctor Ruth nor Psychology Today could put it more elegantly.

Now the story becomes a bit technical.  The woman belongs to a tribe of
hunters and gatherers.  While she is out gathering and her several mates are
elsewhere hunting, she is approached by a wanderer who is wandering and who
fucks her in such a way as to make her mating hole suck quite vigorously at
his skin staff.  Now the men in the tribe no longer satisfy her; and the woman
begins to wander while she gathers, looking for her wandering man.  The
Country Music Television channel is beginning to encroach on my already
confused mental imagery!

My mental TV image is fixed.  I'm back with Kathy.  She still misses Don, but
she has joined her friend Sandy; and the two of them are going to a hot night
spot together.  So that they won't have to stand around waiting in line to get
in, Kathy is dressed to kill.  I'm back on the familiar turf of the American
TV soap opera.  The dialogue in the bar is again familiar: "Waiting for your
husband?"  The stranger's voice is deep and smooth and sends shivers down
Kathy's spine. "No," she replies, aware that she might become a wanderer.
"Waiting for me, then.  Come dance with me." I'm on well-known ground now - As
she spirals toward eternal damnation, Kathy again and again says no but means
yes and the stranger fucks her brains out repeatedly and they both cum
ecstatically and she's sure as hell going to be pregnant with this guy's baby.
Poor Don!

I have to talk to the cable company.  We're back on the Discovery Channel
again.  The aboriginal woman has wandered and has found another man with a
cock and stamina that legends are made of.  He rams her so solidly that she
knows for certain that she is now with child. I have to talk to the cable
company; I am getting the picture from the Discovery Channel but the
soundtrack from the porn channel - all I hear is grunting; these people don't
even converse before or after mating.  Once the guy gets her pregnant, the
woman stops showing her old enthusiasm for sex and the man leaves her.  I
sense a transition back to ordinary TV.

Back to normal!  Kathy is acutely aware that she has been unfaithful to Don;
but she can take consolation in the fact that this is an American soap opera
and she is now pregnant with someone else's baby.  Maybe she'll move to Salem
or to Aramid.  She's worried that Don will see the bruises that cover her body
and suspect something has happened.  I respond mentally: "Cut the guilt trip,
honey.  What do you think Donny Boy has been doing these past ten days?"  But
there's good luck: Don is going to be away for two weeks longer than planned;
the bruises will heal, and he may never find out about Kathy's infidelity.
All she has to do is lie a little and sleep with him.  Yeah; that always works
on the soaps.  "But what about the baby?" you ask.  And what if Sandy realizes
she is in love with Don and blackmails Kathy or seeks lesbian fulfillment?

That's all I'm going to tell you.  You'll have to read the story yourself to
find out who has whose baby and the answers to your other questions. My
apologies to Wollstonecraft.  This really is a creative story.  As you can
tell from the rating, I enjoyed it immensely.

I wonder what that article in Psychology Today really said.

* "Temptation" by D.A. Ignatius (DarkNites) (jash@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu).  

Link compiler's note: Unless someone reposts this story it may be lost
forever.

"The CEO of Fieldbrook has to be at this charity ball."  So says the husband.
But the wife of the CEO would rather ball the CEO than go to the ball.
Therefore,  she tempts him at home before they leave for the festivities. He
makes it to the ball and finds another beautiful woman coming on to him while
he is at the podium - and he with his wife's lipstick barely dry on his cock!
His wife wards off this predator and continues to flirt with her husband.  But
has she gone too far? She doesn't care if they are married; there is a limit
to what it is legal to do under the eyes of a hundred people.

A limit - but a very generous limit.  She is so relieved that at least this
isn't going to be a repeat of the Ladies Room Experience that she doesn't even
mind when he tears off her panties and plunges into her in the room at the
Regency.  Based on personal experience, I have no problem believing that this
story is very, very plausible.
