"She's a Tease" by Mike Hunt (M1KE HUNT@aol.com).  The neighbor has 
bought a new dress for a dinner party, and she wants to try it on for 
Mike Hunt to see if it is inappropriately sexy.  Sure - Mike Hunt is 
always willing to help a lady in dis-dress.

"Wow!"  Mike Hunt often resorts to palindromes when aroused.  "Wow!"  To 
be sure that she won't come across as too flirtatious with the boss, she 
has Mike Hunt check from several angles.  In my mind I suggested that 
maybe she should try it without underpants.  Not a bad idea - for 
starters.  

Mike Hunt also helps her with her conversational skills, like the proper 
times to say, "Would you like something to nibble on?" - which could be 
taken the wrong way if the potential recipient of the d'oeuvres were 
staring down a braless cleavage where the tits were becoming a little 
bit hardened because of the flirtatious attitude displayed by the owner 
of the cleavage. Ahem.  Hello?  Can I have your attention please?  It 
would probably be better to simply say something like, "Grab 'em while 
they're hot!"

In my college speech class we learned about a technique called 
preterition.  This means that the speaker tells her listeners something 
by telling them that she's not going to tell them what she wants to tell 
them.  A simple example is, "... and I won't even mention the fact that 
my pussy is soaking wet right now!"  This story exemplifies that 
technique, but we'll call it flirterition - the woman flirts by 
practicing not flirting. "Grab 'em while they're hot!"

"The Temptation of Heaven's Ring" by Summer's Rose (SumersRose@aol.com).  
This story presents a good case for anal sex.  It may not be for 
everybody, but this story gives a convincing presentation of anal sex as 
a truly exciting and romantic activity. I won't risk ruining it by 
trying to summarize it.

My one concern is with the lack of lubrication described in this story.  
I'm afraid that someone will read this story and go ahead and try anal 
sex and find the experience to be painful.  So here's my factual piece 
of sex education.  The anus does not self-lubricate for sexual activity, 
as does the vagina.  In addition, bathing removes any natural lubricants 
(oils) that are likely to be available on the penis and in the anal 
area.  I can understand the urge for cleanliness when approaching anal 
sex, but if you wash the anus and the cock immediately before entry, 
it's going to hurt like hell; but going straight from the shower to anal 
sex is likely to hurt. The solution is to use copious amounts of KY 
lubricant or saliva (Vaseline is not a good idea).  Although this story 
does not rule out lubrication, it doesn't stress the need for it.  While 
I'm on the subject of anal sex, I'll add that it's also a bad idea to go 
from the ass to the vagina (or vice versa) without cleansing.  This is 
because there are different sources of infection in each area, and a 
woman is almost certain to get a nasty infection from this combination 
of activities.  In addition, although this newsgroup tends to assume 
that AIDS does not exist, it is important to note that AIDS is 
transmitted by blood-to-blood contact, and minor abrasions are more 
likely to occur during anal than during vaginal or oral intercourse; and 
hence it is essential to practice safe-sex in real life.

I'm sure you already learned this information in the excellent sex 
education classes to which you were exposed in your school days.  I just 
thought I'd repeat it here in case you were absent that day.

"Self Therapy" by The Mad Dabbler (maddabbler@hotmail.com).  The woman 
has a problem: she has a secret desire to be a slut.  Nevertheless, she 
has suppressed this side of her personality so thoroughly that she 
routinely declines the threeway that her husband has often proposed.  To 
resolve her emotional dilemmas, she undergoes self-hypnosis and buys a 
few sextoys. Through this self-therapy she shifts from a suppressed slut 
to a simple horny housewife. So what if her fantasies were still more 
vivid and realistic, what harm could that do?  If she secretly chose to 
pack a latex shaft in her purse for emergency road use, who was harmed 
by it?  Not the baby safely secured in the back seat according to AAA 
safety specifications.  Not her hardworking honey who was still longing 
for the threesome but happy with the new libido.  She was always 
judicious about rush hour traffic and other road hazards, and never once 
came close to disaster.  The only possible fault was that she neglected 
to tell Darren about her newest games.

Well, it's not as simple as that; but I can't figure out how to tell you 
about it without ruining the ending.  I think the moral of the story is 
that if you have complex personal problems that require therapy, don't 
try the do-it-yourself version.  Or to put it another way, don't try to 
solve your sex problems the same way you solved your smoking problems: 
you just may resume smoking.

"Family" by April.  The guy found the perfect woman, married her, and 
settled down to raise a family. The only fly in the ointment was the 
fact that he had been a crossdresser for most of his life, but hadn't 
told Sharon about this little matter.  I filed this tidbit in the back 
of my mind, vaguely aware that that this is the sort of thing that might 
cause trouble later on.  The guy just never got around to telling her.  
Things like that can happen.

Actually, when the wife finds out nine years later, it is no big deal.  
She simply starts calling him a slut, humiliates him at every 
opportunity, requires him to have sex with whatever men she chooses to 
bring around the house, and generally treats him like a piece of shit.  
Oddly enough, the guy doesn't exactly like this treatment, even though 
he gets to wear some really nice clothing.

Sharon gets over her tantrum and decides to send her husband to 
finishing school, so that he can learn some feminine skills.  Now, I 
don't want you to think this is just a simple cross-dressing story. The 
plot thickens, and soon Sharon and Bethany (the femininized guy, who 
used to be Charles, and still is sometimes) start flirting with John, 
and before you know it, they propose marriage to him.  John has to think 
about it.  I was afraid there would be a really unusual revelation, like 
maybe John was a golfer or rodeo rider or something.  But it's nothing 
as complex as that.  John talks it over with Janet and Susan (I forgot 
to tell you about them) and decides that he is ready for a stable 
relationship with Sharon and Bethany (and perhaps Charles, who is also 
Bethany).

Of course, there's the problem of breaking the news to the parents.  
This goes surprisingly well, although I personally thought Bethany's 
father bordered on jubilation when he agreed to give her (him) away at 
the marriage ceremony.  After that, they begin marriage preparations in 
Earnest.  I'm sorry; "in earnest" is just an expression.  For a moment 
there I thought we might have to determine Ernie's gender.

I'm sure some readers will like this story even more than I did.  It's 
an interesting idea, but the narrative spends more time on details of 
wardrobe than on anything I personally consider to be erotic.  But it's 
a very nice wardrobe.  I've been spoiled by Vickie Tern's TG stories, 
which have shown me that it's possible to develop a TG plot that is more 
logically coherent than this one.

"Reversal of Fortune" by James Green (UYFZ78A@prodigy.com).  The yuppies 
hire a maid, who hypnotizes them and gets them to kill themselves in a 
car accident, so that she can have their money.  The story has almost 
nothing to do with sex.

"A Dark Place" by Jefferson James (M.Shark@ix.netcom.com).  This is not 
a nice story, but it is very well written.  Some men and women are 
hiding from enemy soldiers in a dark place, where they can hear the 
sounds of women being raped nearby.  Suddenly one of the women finds 
herself being molested in the darkness by a man who remains invisible to 
her.  She cannot do anything to draw attention or to stop him, because 
this would mean that she and the others would be caught by the soldiers.  
This is a tension-packed, interesting story.

"Another Taste of Heaven" by Summer's Rose (SumersRose@aol.com).  This 
author writes like Dulcinea with an anal twist.  I thought I should 
write that down before I forgot it.

I'm GLAD this author writes in the second person ("you" narrative 
format).  Normally the "you" turns me off, because I have trouble 
identifying with the person being undressed - er, addressed.  But these 
stories are so damned sexy that I NEED something to keep me distracted - 
something like a vivid image of Melba Toast or Rye Krisps or Sister Mary 
Henry talking about puberty or Al Gore giving an acceptance speech - or 
a story in the second person with which I cannot identify.  The trouble 
is - I CAN identify with this story.  It brings back some wonderful 
memories.  My husband loves it when I do things like this to him, and I 
love it when he reciprocates.  

Sexy lips and hands caressing my body while I'm barely awake, 
stimulation of my pussy and my ass by lips that are silently telling me 
that they love me, a calm throbbing sensation arising from inside my 
body and gradually spreading outward while a tongue gently caresses the 
edges of my asshole and I writhe in happy agony.... All I can say to 
this author is this: "I hope you get what's coming to you!"

"Flying High" by Tiffany (claytonj@SkyBest.Com).  Maybe I should just 
say this is a good story and let it go at that.  This one is a bit hard 
to explain.  As the unofficial librarian of the Mile High Club, I 
collect stories about sex on airplanes.  According to my records, I have 
previously reviewed nine stories that fit this description.  The five 
best ones have been "Adventures on Flight 109" by Ann Douglas, "La 
Salope" by Joe Parsons, "American Airlines Cockpit" by Mary Anne 
Mohanraj, "Wonderful Journey" by Kid Dynamite, and "Airscrew" by Pete 
Fox.

Lucy Stevens, a straight woman and a virgin a week or so ago, is on the 
way home by plane to visit her family after her marriage.  A kid ogles 
her, and she flashes him.  Then the woman next to her double dares Lucy 
to go further, and before we know it we have a veritable coven of card-
carrying lesbians having mind blowing orgasms with Lucy and ruffling the 
kid's hair.  The kid's mother wakes up and gets upset, but he's probably 
seen worse in the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated or on the Web.  
As part of the good natured fun, the lezzies destroy all Lucy's clothes 
except her dress.  And so when she meets the family, she has more 
'splaining to do than she had anticipated.  I told you: this is a hard 
one to explain.

"Keep in Touch" by Unknown Author (THC Archives).  Amy was the 
narrator's penpal when they were young teenagers.  He invites her from 
Kentucky to Boston to visit him.  They have lots of great sex and then 
never see each other again.  I guess if I hadn't read so many stories 
with interesting plots recently, I might be more impressed with this 
story.

"Couch Potatoes" by Dulcinea (ImDulcinea@aol.com).  One of the first 
times I tried to combine grammar with sex is summarized in the following 
conversation: "I feel good." "And you feel well."  The guy to whom I 
spoke that rebuttal didn't know what I was talking about. I dumped him.  
The reason I stayed with my present husband {I like that expression: my 
present husband} was because he subsequently replied to a similar 
prompt, "I feel good because you feel so well."  That's the way to an 
English teacher's heart.  Part of the preceding narrative also occurs in 
this story.

In this story the man and woman are spending a quiet night on the couch, 
but she can't stay quiet - nor can she stay dry.  But they do have a 
very nice evening at home.  These people seem to be very compatible.

"A Little Tenderness" by wizvixen (THC Archive).  Rape is inevitable; 
relax and enjoy it.  That aphorism would seem to be especially 
appropriate for a guy being raped in a story on this newsgroup.  What 
could be more enjoyable for a college student coming home from the 
library late at night than to have a sexy woman who wants a little 
tenderness force herself on him?  Oddly enough, this guy doesn't enjoy 
it; and this is a very good story.

"Lights Out" by Unknown Author (THC Archive).  This story exemplifies 
the problem of reposts like those from the THC Archives.  I downloaded 
what appeared to be all three parts of this story.  What I actually had 
found were the first three parts of who knows how many parts.  The story 
as posted is not complete.  What we have here is a very interesting 
start, but it's impossible to make comments about the story without the 
whole thing.  

I don't know why THC and others do this, but it happens quite often.  Do 
the reposters assume that readers simply want disjointed parts of 
stories with sex in them?  By deleting the pertinent information about 
the original authors, the reposters make it impossible for interested 
people to find the whole stories.

If anyone knows more about the rest of "Lights Out" or is willing to 
post the entire story, I would be happy to hear from you.

"The Magic Potion" by Bart (rhp@concordia.ca).  The high school kid is a 
virgin with a sexy neighbor; but she offers him a drink (the magic 
potion) and he quickly becomes an enthusiastic and proficient 
participant in the summer orgy season.  There's really not much plot, 
just a lot of sexual activities, some of which sound improbable.  These 
ladies are certainly interested in anal activities.

"Excluded Middle" by Plainman (phone orgy & first time). Princess needs 
a hot cock, and lacking that she wants to have phone sex with her 
brother and her sister-in-law.  In that context they decide to supply 
the missing part to Uther Pendragon's "April's First," which I reviewed 
in CR 170.

It's an interesting set-up.  If readers have read "April's First" {if 
they haven't, they should find the story and read it}, they will know 
Brian and April; and if they've read other Pendragon stories, they'll 
know something about that author's overall style and the value system he 
tends to infuse into his stories.  In addition, if readers have read 
other Plainman stories, they'll know about Princess, Dave, Judy and the 
others who are mentioned in the narrative.  What the author (Plainman) 
does in the present story is mix information from all these sources 
together in order to blend together at least two (and sometimes more) 
very sexy stories.

I'll give this story two thumbs up!

"Video Adventures Part 1. April" by Unnamed Author.  The author is a 
middle-aged gentleman who falls in love at first sight with a 13-year-
old girl whom he meets in the supermarket.  Next he meets her at an ice-
cream shop and takes her home to watch movies on the VCR.  She 
innocently asks to watch porn flicks.  He happens to have on hand "Sex 
with Tiny Women," and they discuss the comparative advantages of 
spitting and swallowing while watching this classic.  She's a really 
nice kid; when she goes off to masturbate in the bathroom between 
movies, she washes up with Irish Spring soap before returning.  When she 
discovers that Our Friendly Pervert has a hard-on, she asks to see, 
jerk, and suck it.  When he cums, April doesn't "loose" a drop. It's "a 
fantasy come rue."  After they fuck a couple of times and have pizza, 
April offers him some pussy pie for desert.

After they have sex about five times (oral, vaginal, and anal), April 
asks if Jeff has a VCR camera. But who will take the pictures? "Wait, I 
know! Why don't you get another girl about your age and a boy? We could 
make a really exciting movie if we had them.  We could take turns 
shooting and stuff...."  OK, but the friend is only twelve years old.  
That'll be even better!

Somehow, I think there's something wrong here.  I know what it is! 
"Dessert" has two s's.  The easy way to remember that is to say that you 
always want two helpings of dessert.

You'll possibly enjoy this story more than I did if what you're lookng 
for is any sort of story that has a horny older guy having sex with a 
presumably innocent little girl.  If simplistically unrealistic plots or 
really bad grammar bother you, you might be better off skipping this 
one.

Here's my favorite line from the story: "While I shopped, I kept some 
distance between this beautiful creature and her mother."  The author 
probably means that he kept some distance between himself and these 
other people.  The original sentence means that he stood between the 
parent and child.

"X-rated Little Red Riding Hood" by Tower Productions (THC Archives).  
If you're willing to settle for a simple parody of a fairy tale by a 
high-school freshman who lacks creativity, you'll possibly enjoy this 
story in which a sweet little virgin girl wanders off into the woods, 
masturbates, and then has sex with a naked boy she meets there.  Sarah 
Jahn's rendition of this fairy tale (CR 101) was much better.  Maybe if 
I repost that review Sarah will repost the story.

* "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sarah Jahn (sfjahn@ix.netcom.com).  
I enjoy sex stories based on fairy tales, because I usually know 
the basic plot and I enjoy waiting to see how the perverted author 
will debase and enrich the original story line.  In this case, the 
wolf is a lusty lady who could just eat Little Red all up.  That's 
all you need to know; you can either fill in the details yourself 
or read the story.  I vaguely remember a woodcutter or plumber or 
someone who showed up to rescue Little Red at the end of the 
original story; I guess that's the part that this author changed.  
I really enjoyed this cute little story.  One anomaly: fairy tales 
usually have a moral, but this story does not.  I suppose that's 
because authors for this newsgroup don't have any morals. <g>
