A big congratulations to all three of you. Played hard, done good.
And well done to everyone else on submitting some fantastic stories in a bloody difficult category. I gave it a go, but my sad little donkey couldn't keep up with the field on this one. In fact, they brought out the screens and a guy in overalls with a shotgun.
Seriously, great effort everyone!
I love that Honest Trailer by the Screen Junkies, Craig. It's brilliant!
It's taken me a long time to warm up to the show, and I still have some way to go. But I've been in love with the Dragon Queen since the get go. Quite honestly, I could do without the rest of it. But then again, she's going to need someone's ass to kick when she gets herself across the Narrow Sea...eventually.
In the meantime, beubs!
Fingertips caress her flawless skin.
I mean...
Eyebrows dance upon her skin.
Anger or revenge - he might want to get back at his partner for some reason, whether she's cheated herself or massively pissed him off some other way. It's anywhere on the spectrum from getting even to hurting her, whether he tells her about it or not. The spiteful I'll-sho-you fuck.
Break up strategy - some men are absolute pussies and don't have the balls to tell their partner how they feel, and that they're not happy in the relationship. By getting themselves caught balls deep in someone else, they're getting their partner to break up with them. Stupid, I know, but they somehow rationalise it as sparing the woman's feelings. Her anger will hide her heartbreak, so he thinks he's off the hook.
Low self esteem - men who lack confidence or who are otherwise emasculated by their partner may seek a bit of fluff on the side to make themselves feel better, powerful, more like a man, etc. Me Tarzan, you Jane and so forth.
Good old fashion sex - If he's not getting what he wants at home, he might look elsewhere. That's anything from just plain old sex in general to the kinky shit he's too embarrassed/afraid to ask for. Hey Honey, how about we try pissing on each other tonight...?
Intimacy - some men may be in a loveless relationship, with no intimacy or affection, like a wife who always shrugs them away when they try to touch her, however clumsily, or who doesn't listen or care about what's important to him. Someone else who gives him that attention suddenly becomes very attractive. It's a cross between the low self esteem and sex reasons above.
Impaired judgement - you know, drunk, high, just plain fucking stupid. Enough said.
Psycho - some guys have a pathological need to get into as much ass as they possibly can. There's nothing they can do about it. You can dig deeper, I suppose, and explore things like misogyny etc, but either way, they're just messed up.
Opportunity - sometimes all a guy needs is the time, place and someone willing to shag him. Deep down, we're simple creatures, and pussy's pussy.
Cathartic breakthroughs often involve confessions.
*clears throat* Yes please. That would be splendid.
Fuck, fuck and fuck. Oh my God, Fuck!
I know, but come on, you can hardly blame me...
Ah...no. Can't say I have, or ever even thought about it. *walks away and whispers, "What the fuck?" under breath*
Honestly, I just want to write good stories that people enjoy. I want to get better at it. And I want to quit my day job and write full-time.
I look at the number of views, votes and comments from readers as a rough indicator of my progress towards those goals. The Recommended Read ribbons are recognition of achievement from a good writer, and I highly value the ones I already have. While I now aim for more with every new story, an Editor's Pick is what I'm really chasing as the next step towards telling my boss to go fuck herself.
Granted, I'm pretty much up the shallow end, but restraint, spanking, orgasm denial, forced orgasm, rimming, and water sports tickle my fancy. I should probably qualify, more from the dom perspective...at least for the first two.
I tend to read based on author, inhaling a good writer's library and then moving onto the next. When I run out of heavy hitters in my friends list, I'll probably stray into the Editor's Picks and Recommended Read Categories.
I do routinely read the competition entries though. But in the intended spirit of the original question, cheating wives and group are probably my favourite categories on Lush at the moment.
As for writing, honestly, I like to mix it up. A bit of everything really. My four currently serviceable stories are in four different categories, and the three up on blocks will be in three more.
Yes, once when I was a teenager still living at home. I was watching Risky Business in the back room and Rebecca de Mornay got my motor running a little hot. Switching over to Penthouse Forums to get it done, I decided to use a condom, partly to contain the mess as I wasn't in my bedroom, and partly as a sexy thrill of using a condom for the first time, albeit by myself.
It was actually pretty hot from what I remember, but that probably had more to do with the Penthouse. With a very limited supply of condoms on hand, which I didn't want to waste - you know, just in case... - and lacking the courage to go get more from the chemist, I never did it again.
In retrospect, I needn't have bothered saving the last two in the pack. The use by date shot through a lot quicker than my virginity.
Honestly, irritable as usual. Although, that's because I'm usually parked off to the side while my wife makes a bee line for the old faithfuls.
I'm sure if I got some genuine input, I might perk up a bit, but...
Spank, spank, and spank again. Oh God, spank!
Yes, I have. Around fifty times with about thirty different women back in the day. Sex work is legal in Australia, and I found them by flicking to E for Escorts in the Yellow Pages. While some experiences were better than others and it was nearly always safe, we treated each other with respect every time.
Now I'm married, where the cost per fuck has shot through the roof. Hmmm...
How about a set of moobs there, Champ? I can get some pretty impressive cleavage going if I press my arms together. Although, the only word I can write upside down with a whiteboard marker is "juicy".
Let me know.
I've been hit on once. She pressed her brest into my arm at a work function and left it there for quite some time. When I gave her the quizzical look, she just looked up and smiled at me over the rim of her glasses. According to Ask the Gals and the subsequent kiss on the lips on another occasion, I missed my chance. Ten years on, I'm still dirty about it.
I've done a fair bit of hitting myself back in the day, albeit clumsily. Certainly nothing sleazy though. Usually just chatting to suss out whether there's a partner, or asking them out for a coffee or something. Nothing ever came of any of it, but I can proudly say I've avoided any sexual harassment complaints. So I guess that's a win in itself.
The Walking Dead, when it was on, and now Game of Thrones.
We also watch The Check Out, a satirical look at consumer affairs on the ABC down here in Australia. Definitely worth googling.
Big Bang Theory, Selling Houses Australia, House of Cards, Criminal Minds and Supernatural also get a regular showing, but usually on a catch up basis, rather than scheduling our week around them.
I win? Really? Me? Oh my God!
I'd like to thank my wife for all her support. We did it, Baby! Woo hoo!
Pros and cons, both.
They say it's always better to be the one who loves most in a relationship. I guess it's because you have the one you want. But with that may come the insecurity that they're always keeping an eye out for the one they really want.
The other way around would be safe, secure and comfortable, knowing that your partner truly loves you. But you could also feel smothered by a sense of obligation and the opportunity cost of missing out on someone who is better suited to you.
As I said last night, don't over think it. You can't rationalise love. Feel what you feel, and if that lands you in a healthy, respectful relationship, then you're golden.
Yep. A woman's breasts can get too big to be attractive. Just as mine can.
I understand the thrill in watching your partner with someone else, and if that's something you're both into and you're secure in your relationship, then more power to you.
However, I would advise caution when involving ex-partners, given the emotional baggage that may come with those relationships. It may add an extra level of complexity to an already complicated situation.
Good luck.
