Celestial Reviews 170 - April 5, 1997

Note:  I have had troubles with my database and with AOL.  Things seem to be
working better now, and I am back on schedule.  If I have messed up with your
stories somehow (as by not reviewing a story you sent me or by not assigning
a proofreader when you requested one), please do not hesitate to send me a
reminder.

Second Note:  Remember the free proofreading service.  If you want someone to
look over your stories before you post them, contact me; and I'll match you
up with a proofreader or two.  This can help get rid of annoying mistakes and
also give you ideas regarding how to make the story even better.  Likewise,
if you'd like to volunteer to proofread someone else's stories, please
contact me.

Third Note: Remember: even though someone else may be posting my reviews for
me, my e-mail address is still Celeste801@aol.com.

"Young Hot Passions" by Sleazy Liz.  This story was posted as "bcousins.txt"
by someone else as part of a set of stories by Boswell, and so I suspect that
Sleazy Liz may be a pseudonym for Jay Boswell, since this is listed as "part
of his collection."

Rick has known his cousin Janine since they were both three years old.  Now
they are both 14 and are giving a new meaning to the term "kissing cousins."
 They rehash old times when they used to play "doctor" and "house," while
they would explore each other's bodies.  This is very hot stuff.  It's good
to read about a couple of cousins who get along so well with each other.

"Finding My Baseball Cards" by Frederick T. (an19164@anon.nymserver.com).
 Back in 1959, before the morals of American children had degenerated to
their present status, this little feller goes to his friend's house to get
the baseball cards that he had left there the day before.  His friend's mom
greets him at the door and says his friend isn't home.  No problem; the kid
climbs in the window; but instead of finding his baseball cards, he finds the
mom doing a threeway with Sis and her boyfriend.  I didn't know they did
things like that back in prehistoric times!

"April's First" by Uther Pendragon (anon584c@nyx.net).  I had trouble finding
Part 2 to this story; and I eventually went ahead and read parts 1 and 3.  I
concluded that there was no Part 2; it was an April Fool's joke.  Get it?
 The title is April's First, and the story was posted on April 1, so....

Anyway, the real action takes place in Part 2, which doesn't exist.
 Nevertheless, Parts 1 and 3 tell a very interesting story about April before
and after her First Time.  This story actually describes two very interesting
and healthy relationships in the life of a 16-year-old girl: her romantic
relationship with her boyfriend and her sibling relationship with her older
sister.  Both are well developed, and both help make this a sexy story.

"Watching You Watching Me" by Gregarious (gregarious@poboxes.com).  The woman
moves from Texas to Boston to be with her lover, and she finds the winter to
be a real burden.  Then one day he comes home with tickets to Costa Rica.
 Anything would be better than two more weeks of gray snow, but the delights
of Central America are amplified by the presence of another couple.  First
the woman shows off her amorous abilities on the plane in the presence of the
other couple.  Then she discovers that they are in the same resort, and she
spies on them while they make love.  All this leads to hot sex with her own
lover.  It's very sexy stuff!

"The Beach" by Robert Lee Ayers (rlayers@erols.com).  Sandy has been having a
tough day at the office.  A call from John at the end of the day gives her
the strength to wrap it up.  After work she joins her lover on a deserted
beach at McCallaster Cove.  There the have a quiet dinner and fuck each
other's brains out.  

I really like this romantic stuff.  This is the first post by a new author.
 A lot of new authors post stories that they wrote for someone else, and they
neglect to make the story interesting to a wider audience.  This author does
not make that mistake; instead he took care to draw me into the story. I hope
this author posts more stories of this quality.

"The Skier" by Mike Hunt (M1KE HUNT@aol.com).  It's probably a coincidence,
but have you noticed that if you say this author's name quickly ten times, it
sounds like you're discussing a part of the female anatomy?  This author
claims to have a colleague named Mike Lit.  Imagine that!

This story has an unusual plot.  A bunch of college guys go to a ski lodge
with hopes of getting drunk and maybe getting laid.  Imagine that!  Well. on
the first day there Mike Hunt gets laid - laid UP, that is: two broken arms,
one multiple, one a mild fracture; a cracked collarbone, plus a fractured leg
and multiple cuts and contusions, abrasions, and possible internal injuries.
 Bummer!  But all is not lost.  There is a nurse named Carole Anne; and Mike
Hunt needs a bath. As the washcloth scurries about, up and down, in and out,
Mike Hunt becomes horny.  Actually, Mike Hunt becomes aroused.  But then,
contrary to everything written in this newsgroup, the nurse whacks his dick
sharply.  She says this is something they learned in nursing school to
control men when they get aroused.  He tells her to go to hell.  This is an
inauspicious beginning.  Mike Hunt is going to be lonely.

I don't want to go into all the details, but Nurse Carole Anne makes up for
her unkind incursion.  Being in traction may not be all fun and games, but
there are some advantages!  The author concludes with an assertion that "
MIKE HUNT has more stories than you can, uh, shake a stick at."  I hope to
see more of them.  This was very hot stuff!

"On The Beach" by Ellen Hayes (nobody@REPLAY.COM). Andrea is a teenager who
has become stressed out because she has discovered that she feels a deep and
mutual physical attraction for her close friend Darlene.  She doesn't want to
be a lesbian!  Can't they just love each other and not be lesbians?  Well,
yes, I certainly think so; but I've had this argument too many times to
repeat it again.  This is another excellent story.  As the author adds in a
postscript, "You can separate sex from teenage angst, but you can't separate
angst from teenage sex."

"Life is Good!" by Uncle Fred (UncleFred@usinternet.com).  Goddammit!  I have
a confession to make.  My husband has been out of town for two days and will
be for one more.  I have been reading sex stories and putting my database in
order.  I'm not sure that right now I need to read a series of seven stories
where the "worst" one earns a rating of 9, 8, 8.  Fortunately my husband will
call later tonight, and phone sex at ten cents a minute isn't really a bad
deal.

In this story, the man and wife have been happily married for 20 years or so,
but they still plan sexy evenings together.  Their Friday evening is a good
example of planned spontaneity.  In this case they warm up with oral sex and
then go to anal sex the next night before an evening on the town.  This is
sexy stuff. Life is Good!

"Art Appreciation" by Taria. The woman is genuinely pissed off because she
has been standing in the cold, waiting for her husband, who is late again.
 When she discovers that she has been standing in front of an art gallery,
she goes inside, where she discovers that the gallery is displaying the works
of Andres - "Andres Presents the History of Sex," to be precise. The display
turns her on and reminds her of a nearby sex shoppe, and she goes to that
store and acquires some sextoys.  She takes the next day off and stays home
and plays with herself, while her husband goes to work.  The self-stimulation
is extremely erotic, but then the story just ends in the middle of nowhere.
 To be continued, it says.  Now you tell me, says I.

"The Pause that Refreshes" by Jvstin (Jvstin@admin.con2.com).  As you may
recall, in the summer of 1997 a terrorist strike knocked out, albeit
temporarily, the entire power grid of the West Coast.  That stroke of fate
left our hero stranded in an ATM booth with a voluptuous woman named Athena.
 One needed electricity to open the door to that ATM booth, but one didn't
need artificial current to do what needed to be done with the fair Athena.

"Me, My Mistress, Hale-Bopp and Weak Knees..." by Voyager7
(voyager7@ix.netcom.com).  It wasn't until I was nearly halfway through this
story that I realized that Susan was a prostitute whom the narrator
patronized.  I think my confusion occurred because of dramatic tension.  A
few lines later, I discovered that the narrator was a woman, but that was
because of a grammar mistake {"Never in my life has another woman, told me to
strip..."}.  When he is told to address her as Mistress or Mistress Susan,
and she will address him as SLAVE, he "starts to rock n roll....<g>."
 Shortly thereafter, the story ends with this question: " Do you wish me, to
continue telling you about my adventure with Mistress Susan?  .....<g>"  <N>

I thought Hale-Bopp was a comet or something <g>.

"Birthday Present" by OddManOut Anywhere (oddman0ut@hotmail.com).  Jeff is a
bit upset, because his girlfriend Monica has gone on an anthropological field
trip instead of being with him on his birthday. To reduce his own misery,
Jeff has decided to spend the evening of his birthday on an anthropological
field trip of sorts - that is, he goes to a frat party, where a voluptuous
blonde who is a student of animal husbandry or something hands him a note
that says: "Happy Birthday!  I'm very sorry I wasn't able to be with you
today.  However, I am giving you a present so that you won't miss me too much
this week.  Your present is named Judy, and she is a good friend of mine from
the swim team.  Judy has been instructed to sexually satisfy you in any way
you wish, at any time between today and next Friday.  Upon your command, she
will fuck you, give you blowjobs, and allow you to tie her up or do anything
else to her that crosses your mind.  The only limitations on what you can do
are:

1.  No permanent damage, of course.
2.  No unprotected sex.
3.  No bringing in other people.  This gift is for you alone.  I wouldn't
want to fuck other guys for your birthday, so I don't see why my proxy
should, either.

"Oh, shit!" says Jeff; "I can't do this.  It would be wrong!"  No; actually
Jeff ignores the moral ambiguity of the situation and decides not to look a
gift whore in the mouth.  Oh - and he decides to forgive Monica!

My immediate reaction was: What if this is a hoax?  I mean, how does Jeff
really know that Monica is behind the alleged gift?  What if Swimmer (the
name given to the slave/present) is just an itinerant sex maniac who wants to
give him a week of unmitigated bliss?  In addition, I'm not a lawyer or a
prostitute or anything like that, but isn't there a possibility of a bad
precedent here?  Couldn't a spouse caught in the act simply claim, "Hey!  She
told me she was a present from you!?"

Being a Master can be tough.  For example, what does a Master do when the
slave wants to do the dishes but the master wants a blowjob?  Such conflicts
are common and could result in violations of health codes in parts of
Australia.  Jeff's predicament is further complicated by the fact that
Swimmer is an excellent maid and cook: June Cleaver crossed with Pauline
Reage.  I mean, this lady actually accepts rear entries while she cooks
pancakes in the nude - generating as a by-product a small but delicious
supply of syrup for the pancakes! In addition, while having a sex slave
merely distracts a guy from doing research, it makes listening to a
Statistics lecture damn near impossible!

There could be a TV series in this: "Touched by a Swimmer."  The show could
be completely devoid of both plot and acting ability, except for attractive
but insipid protagonists who mysteriously can do almost anything while they
jiggle their tits and toss their hair from side to side and spectators ogle
their cute little asses.  The show could convey educational tidbits like
those in the story: edible underwear may be a novelty to see, but it is
uncomfortable to wear, and it is awful to the taste.  Thumbs down!  Of
course, the really "good parts" could not be shown on prime time television;
these supplementary materials would have to be accessed via website or
perhaps 900 chat lines.  This idea is so crazy, it just might work!

Sometimes I "disenjoy" stories that include sexual bondage.  I get my back up
and assume that pain and degradation are bad.  But if the context is right -
for example, if after the finale of the gangbang the target's entire body is
coated in a mixture of sweat, cum, chocolate, and whipped cream, showing dark
marks where the participants had poured the hot caramel, her blond hair
matted to her skin and to itself by strings of semen, bruised around the
thighs, butt, and breasts, where six men have pawed her continuously
throughout the evening, and a huge smile on her face - well, then maybe
bondage not so bad after all.

This was a creative, well written story.  I hope to see many more by this
author.
