Celestial Reviews 165 - March 19, 1997

Note: There was once a married couple, and the wife had a serious 
problem that her husband could not stand. She liked to wear skirts 
without anything on underneath.

One day, after he went to work, she decided she was going shopping for 
some new shoes. She got dressed in her favorite skirt and went out to 
the local shoe store.

While she was there a man helped her try on a number of shoes, and no 
doubt he enjoyed it because he had the perfect view from down there.

After several hours of this he could take no more and said to her, "Miss 
I don't mean to be rude or anything but I can't take this anymore. I 
would love to eat your pussy full of ice cream."

At this she became totally disgusted and stormed out of the store 
shouting her husband would be here to kick his ass later. She went 
straight home and waited for here husband.

When he came home, she explained the whole situation to him and demanded 
that he go and beat this guy senseless. He simply replied. "No; for 
three reasons. One, you shouldn't have been out in a skirt without 
anything on underneath. Two, you have hundreds of shoes and don't need 
any more. Three, anybody who can eat that much ice cream, I'm not 
messing with in the first place!"

"Dinner Time!" by Duclinea (ImDulcinea@aol.com).  The wife asks the 
husband to set the table for dinner.  Instead he fools around and makes 
romantic love to her. Technically, this could be construed as eating 
dessert before dinner, which is a violation of Grandma's Law.  As a 
result, he has mushy broccoli for dinner, but he eats it happily.  And 
later that night, he has a second helping of dessert.

"Shaving Cream" by Duclinea (ImDulcinea@aol.com).  The man wants to make 
love, but his wife wants to shave her legs.  They compromise.  He shaves 
her legs, and then things really heat up.  This is a very sexy, playful 
story.

"The Photographer" by Mike Hunt (BannerBoy1@aol.com).  The guy is a 
high-quality amateur photographer, and his neighbor asks him to take 
some glamour shots of his lovely wife.  It seems that the wife is a bit 
shy and that she found it hard - er, difficult - to be sexy around the 
last photographer, who was a bit of a geek.  Our friendly hero is 
certainly not a geek - just a conscientious photographer who wants to do 
a good job and who happens to get a hard-on while applying the makeup to 
various hills and valleys while preparing the subject for the session.  
When the makeup doesn't blend properly with the blush brush, he finds it 
necessary to work it in with his fingers. A guy's gotta do what a guy's 
gotta do.  And so when hubby leaves to run out and get the third bottle 
of wine, our hero comes to the sudden realization that there might be 
another way to loosen up his shy, demure neighbor in order to help her 
strike those sexy poses that her husband so desperately wants.  Indeed, 
once she gets the guys to take their clothes off, the wife isn't really 
all that bashful anymore.

Of course, makeup has to be applied for the beaver shots as well.  Why 
do guys call a picture that reveals a girl's pussy a beaver shot?  
Dammed if I know!  {Note: You have to read the spelling of the word 
"dammed" in the previous sentence carefully in order to derive 
satisfaction from this very clever pun.} Eventually the application of 
the makeup (a white creamy mixture) gets a bit out of hand, if you know 
what I mean.  In the end <g> they decide that another session might be 
necessary.

"Early Morning Love" by Summer's Rose (sumersrose@aol.com).  This is a 
story about good, clean sex - that is, sex in the shower.  The woman is 
having warm thoughts in a warm shower, when her lover joins her for some 
early morning delight.  This is a very short but sexy story, reminiscent 
of the work of Dulcinea.  I usually don't like the second person (you) 
narrative format, because I feel that it will distract at least some of 
the readers of a story.  However, in the present case this frame of 
reference did not distract ME, largely because some of my own favorite 
experiences have occurred under very similar circumstances.

Speaking of favorite experiences, don't you find it odd that there have 
been so few stories on this newsgroup that mention ingesting chocolate 
chips from private parts of the anatomy during lovemaking?

"Property Of" by Meredith P. (MeredithP3@aol.com).  One night Robert 
finds himself giving a blowjob to Gail - one of those women to whom he 
would not normally be attracted but who looked a lot prettier around 
closing time.  It turns out that she doesn't really like the blowjob, 
and so he leaves; but Robert subsequently receives a notice from a 
lawyer that he will be charged with rape.  It seems pretty certain that 
he will do hard time in prison, because "any female can send any man or 
boy to prison any time she wants.  All she has to do is scream and 
point!"  Robert checks with his brother who is already in prison, and he 
discovers that almost anything is preferable to time in the Big House; 
and so he agrees to undergo castration as a settlement to avoid 
prosecution.  The actual castration will be performed by Gail under the 
supervision of a trained surgical nurse. The severed ("culpable") organs 
will become the property of Gail or her assignees.

The preceding is the more easily believable, straight part of the story.  
If you can buy these premises, you are ready for the rest of the story, 
which is full of surprises and unusual violence.  I'm not sure some of 
this stuff is even possible - and I hope I never find out.  Unless, of 
course, my husband ever fools around on me. If that happens, I have a 
few other ideas that I can add to this story.

"Trip" by Plainman (an10176@anon.nymserver.com).  This story uses a 
completely narrative format to offer an excellent blend of hot and sexy 
romantic fiction with several levels of voyeurism and reality.  By 
several levels, I mean SEVERAL levels: we even have critiques of other 
a.s.s. authors worked into the storyline.  I simply HAD to keep reading 
to see if I came up.  {Or as my husband put it, "God, you even smell 
sexy.  Why don't you just use the search function to check for "Celest" 
and come to bed with me?"  I did; Plainman did not; we did; but I got 
back up to finish the story after I exhausted my husband while I was 
describing a bisexual fantasy to him.}

In this storye have two sexy married couples.  In each family the 
husband and wife are passionate lovers in a predominantly monogamous but 
still open marriage.  They enjoy incorporating fantasies into their love 
life; and as the story develops, they bring their fantasies into their 
real lives in very sexy ways.  This author does a wonderful job of using 
the narrative format to blend flashbacks with present action in such a 
way as to fuse sexy events into even hotter images.  In addition, the 
action outside the sack is often as hot as the actual lovemaking.  

There are many interesting and sexy scenes in this story.  Here I'll 
quote only the one that makes a point that I myself have tried to make 
several times in these reviews:

"Joe: ...She (Joe's wife) says it herself - most women are bi, more or 
less.

Princess: So are most guys, but you have more incentives to hide it from 
yourselves - so anyway, how bi IS Amy?"

My allegation has always been not that most people SHOULD have sex with 
people of both genders, but simply that most people COULD enjoy having 
sex with people of both genders if they wouldn't suppress those urges - 
and perhaps suppress them for perfectly good reasons, such as ethical 
believes or a commitment to a monogamous relationship.  But if I enjoy 
diddling my own clit and having my husband eat me out, why in the world 
(aside from conditioned, emotional reactions) would I find it UNpleasant 
to have a beautiful woman do the same things to me while I returned the 
favor?  And the same goes for guys - except, as Princess says, they have 
more incentives to hide or suppress their interest.

Oh well, my own commitment to this principle extends only to reading and 
enjoying both kinds of stories.  As Joe and Princess put it, I'm hetero 
and monogamous in my real world but bi and polyamorous in my reel world.  
Anyway, I feel an urge to expound my theory at least once every six 
months.  And this story is an excellent example of my theory in 
practice.

These couples represent a hedonistic lifestyle that I personally reject 
in real life because I know it would ruin something beautiful with my 
husband - but a story likes this presents the case for the temptation in 
a very persuasive manner.  

I strongly recommend this story.  It's a clever, narrative mixture of 
Mark Aster, Tom Trilogy, and Uther Pendragon in a SueNH atmosphere with 
about thirty-five Dulcinea stories blended into the plot.

"Light Like Butter" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com).  Readers take 
warning!  Even though I give this story a high rating and although it is 
about sex, there is actually no sexual activity in it.  It is not likely 
that this story will give you an orgasm or even lead directly to 
foreplay.  It's a retrospective story about a young man who some time 
ago "came out of the closet" and informed his parents that he was gay.  
They (especially the father) essentially disowned him, and the story is 
written from the perspective of the son returning home for his father's 
funeral.  Almost everything is left unsaid, but this is still a very 
touching story.

"Midnight Swim" by K. Reber (krreber@ix.netcom.com).  The woman goes for 
a late night swim at the motel and is joined by her lover.  I like this 
motif, but it could have been developed a lot more completely.

* "Grey" by Lysander (lysander@bitsmart.com).  In proportion to its 
overall length, there's actually relatively little sex in this story.  
Grey is the name of a woman to whom the narrator offers a ride.  
Throughout the first half of the story they drive across the country for 
several weeks, longing for each other, but not making their mutual 
feelings known.  Finally, they do make their feelings known to each 
other, and the sexual activity becomes loving and hot.  There are 
several complications that make the story more interesting, but you can 
find these for yourself.  I really like stories that have good character 
development as well as hot sex, and this is one of those stories.
