Clestial Reviews 2 - July 12, 1995 - by Celeste Note: I guess I should have anticipated this, but I've started getting requests from readers, asking me to send them copies of the stories I review. While I appreciate the interest, I cannot do this. The main reason is one of conscience and prudence: I'm not sure who the person is who is requesting the story. While I don't have problems with my own older daughter reading any of the stories I reviewed in the first set, I would object to someone sending these stories to my younger daughter. In addition, one of the stories I just read for my next review is really a bit degrading toward women, and I don't want to be the person who puts that one in front of innocent readers. (On the other hand, I do NOT think my review will be a problem for these same readers.) Another reason for declining to send the stories is because I'm pretty busy teaching, writing reviews, caring for my children, and fucking the brains out of my husband. (Note: As I said in my FAQ, I try to review stories that can still be found in the newsgroup postings. This should help solve the problem.) "Pillow Fight" by Dulcinea. This is the kind of romantic story I'd like to write myself. I guess that's because this is the kind of life I'd like to live myself. Dulcinea does a good job making a woman wish this were happening to her. This is a playful story with nothing kinky - just good, hot passion. Way to go, Dulcinea! (Rating 9.0) "eXstacy" by Wiley03. This is the kind of story Beevis and Butthead used to enjoy before they learned to pick their noses and masturbate. What we have here is a quasi-literate description of a guy and his faithful sidekick who kidnap a girl and juice her up with electrical current before they rape her. Then they relax for a while by hanging her from a hook from the ceiling of the warehouse, while they beat her with a whip and a cane before they rape her again. The sex is oral, anal, and vaginal; and, like most women, she realizes that she likes it and yearns for more. I guess this is the sort of crap Senator Exon is upset about. It makes me feel kinda foolish about advocating free speech. Here's one of the greatest quotes, lifted directly with my cut-and-paste tool, so that I could avoid the risk of altering even a single sibilant syllable: "Her eyes slits, her mouth pouting and mewling, she slinked her way across the floor until she was between his legs, her prick jutting obscenely before her." It really said that. Earlier in the story, the hero (or villain - I'm kinda confused here) "...arranged himself in a beanbag while he slowly approached her." People that can do that are dangerous. On a more serious note, the heroine/victim/love-object was expecting to get paid with a "twenty day supply of X" but she was hoping for more like "a years (sic) supply of X." Maybe I'm out of touch, but am I supposed to know what X is? I don't know if the author was using X as a place holder and forgot to change it to cocaine or chocolate candy or something, whether there really is a commodity called X that she hoped to acquire as compensation for her services, or whether the author just has an extreme respect for copyright laws and doesn't want to mention the trade name of the beverage the players would consume to slake their thirst after the festivities. (Note: After I reposted this review for the second time, a reader wrote to inform me that there is actually a drug called X. It's an extremely dangerous drug, apparently available in relatively restricted markets in the U.S. Sorry about that - heck, I don't even inhale pot!) In spite of these brilliancies, there were some minor flaws in the story. As our damsel put it so eloquently, while her lithe body jerked uncontrollably on the hook: "Aaahhgg, no, arrgh, please, uh uh stop please." (Rating: 1) "Crime of Love" by Boswell. This story gives us a dramatic contrast with the previous story. It's actually literate. I suppose some people read this and find it sexually enticing; but my own main reaction was fear and repulsion. I felt the hatred for women that the rapist felt in this story, and I felt the fear that his victim felt. I guess it should worry me that there are people who will think this guy is really cool; but I really doubt that many men are going to develop a new lifestyle as rapist simply because they read this story. Its a bit like some of Poe's tales. I doubt that many people ripped the heart out of old men after reading the Telltale Heart, but that sure was a great story about a bizarre person. "College" by deirdre. What strange things can happen to young girls at a private college? Why do memories of sexual events that never happened creep back into memory at odd times? This is a very short story, and it gets a short review. I like much of deirdre's writing, but this one didn't strike me as good as some of the others. It nicely sets a mood of mystery, but I'm still have no idea what happened. But that's the point! (Rating: 5.5) "First Time" by The Lady. Aside from the moral problems posed by incest, the most noticeable problem with this story is that the little girl who gives head to her father while her mother offers advice and plays with her pussy talks more like an eight-year-old than the twelve- year-old she's supposed to be. The moral and developmental objections aside, it's actually a pretty clearly written story, for people who like that sort of thing. I guess the major problem with the story is that it's incomplete. It's sort of like reminiscing about the great time we had roasting marshmallows on the living room carpet, while we ignore the fact that we destroyed the carpet and practically burned down the house. I think most psychologists and sensible people would see problems in parents boinking their daughter for the fun of it. The rationale in the story is that the parents are sexually active and love each other, are not ashamed to be naked in front of their daughter, and want her to have a healthy respect for her own body and sexuality. Ditto at our house; but the time our daughter came upon me and my husband making love, we stopped, continued to cuddle while he covered his cock, and then had a nice talk with her later. Asking her to join in might have made for an interesting story - but maybe our way would too. Somebody out there oughta give it a try! (Rating 5.0) "Slippery When Wet" by Sue. I was going to read this story late at night and write the review right away, but after a story like that I have to take a break and visit my husband. He's going to wake up with one hot mouth around his cock! This was a truly erotic story. I can't do it justice by trying to summarize it - It's about a girl and a guy who get into the fitness center jacuzzi after closing time. Read the story for the rest. The only part that I didn't like at first was when they let the three college kids join them in the jacuzzi. Actually, I liked that part too; but except for that part, I'd be ecstatic for a chance to do exactly what the two of them did. Sue has one of the best disclaimer's of all the a.s.s. writers: "Reading and writing these stories should be acts of fantasy, and I hope that you can keep your notions of real and fantasy life separate in your mind. I know I can." And so can I! (Rating 10.0)
