"Lunchtime Confessions" by OneIdleHand (OneIdleHand@hotmail.com).

Hayley and Lori get together at lunch and talk about things. First it's 
common interests, then it's sex, then it's sexual fantasies. They trade 
notes, pictures, and videotapes. Eventually they get together with their 
husbands and play strip poker.

This sort of plot can become really juvenile, but the author avoids this 
pitfall by integrating some interesting ideas into the story line. For 
example, when the gang gets together for fun, the guys have no idea how much 
their spouses have already shared about themselves and their husbands. This 
builds sexual tension very nicely.

Strip porker - er, poker - stories are often really lame. However, in this 
case the author does an excellent job of maintaining sexual tension. It's not 
quite in the category with Delta's "Strip Chess," but even being mentioned in 
a paragraph with that story should be considered an honor.

[So, you want scores - numbers, marks out of ten. Five is acceptable, six is 
good, seven is promising, eight is impressive, nine has flair, ten is 
beautiful.

Four is weak. Three is embarrassing. Two is infuriating. One is pitiable. 
Zero is an insult.]
