Celestial Reviews 242 - December 13, 1997
Note: If you requested proofreading help recently but did not receive it,
please contact me again. I am afraid I accidentally threw out a request with
some spam that I was discarding.
Second Note: There are several interesting discussions currently on a.s.s.d.,
if you can find them amidst all the spam. One perennial theme is "why does
Celeste allow anonymous guest reviews?" The answer is because I believe I can
get better reviews from certain reviewer/authors if I do it this way.
When a reviewer uses a "second pseudonym" to post a review, that simply forces
you (the reader) to accept that review in isolation from any other information
about the person who wrote that review. In practice, that means that with
Mike Hunt and Kim, an author can look at a review and say, "Big shit! She
can't do any better herself!" With Piper or Fiddler, on the other hand, you
are forced to deal with the content of the review.
I personally enjoy the reviews of all four of the reviewers mentioned in the
preceding paragraph. There are obviously advantages and disadvantages to
doing it either way. The strongest advantage that I have noticed to using
"real" names for reviews is that it's easier for reviewers to develop a
relationship with reviewers whose work they recognize. I think that's a real
benefit.
The best reason NOT to use a "real" name is that this may interfere with the
reviewer's own writing. I know I personally am hesitant to post my own
stories here (as if I had time to write any!), because I have the feeling of
undue pressure. I have seen my own story (Virtuous Reality) unfairly ripped
simply because somebody was pissed that I gave his story an unfavorable reall
of them - would feel a pressure arising from the inconsistency of roles.
Third note: Occasionally somebody sends me an "obviously good" suggestion
about how to improve Celestial Reviews. They suggest that I "should be open
to growth." Actually, it's exceptionally obvious to me that I have grown
during the two and a half years I have been writing these reviews. But the
point I want to make here is that sometimes I do things the way I do them for
a good reason. A certain amount of stability is good and necessary. Changes
HAVE occurred, and I do appreciate your suggestions. However, I cannot
respond to each of you individually. I need to spend most of my time doing
these reviews rather than talking about them. Which is what I'll do now -
that and learn how to spell "waist" correctly.
Final note: Remember: even though someone else may be posting my reviews for
me, my e-mail address is still Celeste801@aol.com.

"Lucky Mower" by Reaven (reposted by Erostory <erostory@anon.nymserver.com>).
Fantasies about yardboys are apparently as ubiquitous and American as apple
pie. As near as I can figure, nearly every non-Amish American boy who mows a
lawn wants to get into the pants of the middle-aged divorcee or young widow
who pays for his services. The lustful feelings are reciprocal: nearly all
women, including some nuns, have apparently lusted after the muscular kid with
the tight ass who mows the lawn and pulls the weeds. The Coke guy on the
commercial last year was nothing more than a glorified yardboy.
Anyway, Mrs. Anderson is a 42-year-old divorcee - a DWF, as she might call
herself in the personal ads. Dan is a 16-year-old HWT (horny white teenager)
who mows her lawn - literally at first and metaphorically later.
The deal is that Mrs. A decides that just for one day, Dan can do anything he
wants with her body. And that's just what he does for the next 24 hours. He
comes fast the first time, but pretty soon he is listening to lectures from
Mrs. A and searching through books and magazines for interesting positions.
This is an interesting enactment of the Great American Fantasy.
Incidentally, my favorite variation on this theme is "Charly the Yard Guy" by
Michael K. Smith, in which Charly is a yardgirl.

"Pierced" by Sexy Grrl (bigsexygrrl@hotmail.com). It was only after I had
read this story that I discovered that it is actually Chapter 3 in a series
called "The Education of a Princess." I have not read the other chapters.
Aside from my earrings, I have never been pierced myself - largely because I
have surmised that it would be very much like what this story describes. I
suppose someday one of my daughters will decide to get pierced, and I think I
can handle that. But I suspect that day is far in the future. Tonight we
were watching a TV show in which a cute young lady had her belly-button
pierced, and the local adult suggested that she connect her halter top to the
belly-ring, so that he bare midriff would be at least partially covered. They
roared with laughter. On the other hand, they looked interested when the same
young lady boasted of having had sex in the torch of the statue of liberty.
Anyway, in the story the woman gets pierced, and it hurts like hell. But she
does it for Her Guy, who enjoys seeing her in pain, because then he knows she
really loves him. Of course, she enjoys the pain, because it is a way to show
her love for him. Barf city! I'd consider this to be really sick, except
that I had a nun in the fourth grade who quoted St. Theresa to us by saying
"If you suffer a lot, that's because God loves you." So I guess what I am
saying is either this notion is not completely crazy or maybe that nun was.
The motivation of the main character is not clear to me, but this story was
still interesting. That's the right word: the story wasn't sexy to me, just
interesting.

"The Talent Contest" by Lisa Cohn. For the past 27 years Johnson Roberts
School has held its annual talent contest for all students aged 12 to 14. In
the weeks and months preceding the event there is a flurry of activity with
youngsters organizing and practicing their presentations. There have been
several calls for the contest to be scrapped as grades fall during this
period. However, the event survives as "part of the overall socialization and
education of the child at Johnson Roberts School". This is the story of three
12 year old girls - Megan, Beth and Sam - and their first appearance in the
contest which ultimately leads them to find hidden talents none of them ever
dreamed they had. That's because Big Brother Tim offers to help, and he
becomes a Benignly Benevolent Big Brother.
The story is a bit slow in developing, but eventually the young girls and
older boy get down to Serious Show and Tell - starting with observation of
bodies and an errant cumshot, then licking, porn magazine analysis, and
blowjobs.
I never did anything this explicit as a kid. I don't even WISH I had done it.
I'll do what I can to keep my kids from doing it. But it certainly does sound
like fun!
One word of advice. If you have an orgy with your loved one(s) and feel
concerned that subsequent visitors to the area of emboinkment will notice the
musky aroma of sex in the air, do NOT smoke a cigarette to throw the visitors
off track. As the surgeon general will assure you, this can cause cancer,
birth defects, and all kinds of other evil side effects. Instead, simply burn
some popcorn. It works even better and has no negative side effects. My
teenage daughters could never figure out how my husband and I could be so
klutzy as to burn popcorn as often as we did.

"Mr Miller's Dream" by Youngset (youngset@aol.com). Sean is 18. Kira is 16.
Kira is black; but her father is white and so is her mother. Go figure.
Stranger things have happened. Mr. Miller is 61. Mr. Miller lusts for the
cute little ass and sexy exuberance of the lithe and luscious, lovely and
lascivious, little lass. So Mr. Miller concocts a plan with Sean to get Kira
to fuck with him while she really thinks she is screwing somebody else.
At this point I discovered that I was reading Part 1 of who knows how many
parts. This is not a bad idea for a plot, but it's a bit clumsy so far.
Unfortunately, the author will just go ahead and finish it without fixing
these clumsy parts. That's unfortunate, but that's the way it is with these
serial postings. However, this story has potential, because it already
contains some good stuff.

"An Unforgettable Evening" by Gary Ray (csangha@hooked.net). The man and woman
are in love - deeply in love. Tonight he is going to pop the question: "Do
you love me enough to trust me?" "Yes!" she replies. And out come the
handcuffs, the blindfold, and an accomplice named Dominick. "Wait a minute!"
says I. "This is bullshit!" "Wait a minute!" says she. "This is bullshit!" But
they persist, and we come to a surprise ending.
I don't exactly recommend what this guy does - too much could go wrong. But
then I personally reject cybersex for the same reason, and a lot of you enjoy
that activity. Anyway, this is an excellent story.
This author ends his disclaimer with "Do I have hope as an erotica writer?"
Hmmm... Is the pope Catholic? Does the bear shit in the woods? Do teenage
nympho queens want big cocks up their asses?

Fantasies" by BitSlinger (bitslinger@hotmail.com). I believe this is this
author's first story. It's also an entry in my Celestial Christmas story
contest. I am happy to have stimulated the author to enter upon a promising
writing career.
The basic plot is that the wife has become interested in fulfilling her
husband's fantasies; but he's reluctant to share them, because he's afraid
he'll scare her off. Most recently she has noticed his interest in a sexy
little elf at the mall, and so tonight she has seduced him in an elf costume.
Eventually she manages to pry some fantasies out of him, and she rewards him
by acting them out with him and enjoying them herself.
The fantasies are actually pretty tame by a.s.s. standards, but I enjoyed
them. Except for a few occasional flaws in verb tenses, the author shows a
good sense of timing in his integration of the fantasies and the real-time
sexual activity. I look forward to seeing more stories by this author.

"Christmas Carole" by MrSpraycan (mrspraycan@mailanon.com). Several years ago
my husband treated me very romantically and fucked me under the Christmas tree
after the kids went to bed. As he did so, he played a tape with the song
"Here We Go a' Caroling." Unlike the woman in the previous review, I did not
have to ask him about his fantasies. You see, I had three very close friends
- all very sexy, one of whom had one the Nurse Goodbody award in nursing
school. That may help explain the title, but not the plot of this story.
The time is 1941. Pearl Harbor has just been bombed shortly before the
Christmas party, and the United States is going to change its economy to a war
footing. History books tells us that women will move into the workplace and
never move out; it's the start of the sexual revolution in America. Carole is
a woman in a male-dominated environment who has ideas about becoming a
significant person in her company. Pat O'Reilly is the abstemious, Scrooge-
like part owner of the company, who thinks he's big stuff around women. By
the end of the story we can see how Carole is going to move up the corporate
ladder.
I have read several stories by MrSpraycan, and this one is not in the author's
usual raunchy style. Nevertheless, it's a really good story that I think
you'll enjoy.

"Snowbound" by Ann Douglas (older man/younger woman). This is the second
excellent story that I have reviewed with this title. I am reposting the
review of the other, and I hope the author will repost the story.
When Ann Douglas moved to her new home and announced her retirement, I
suspected she would miss us and would return to her writing shortly. I was
right, and I am glad. This is a really good story. Of course, I had the same
feelings about Delta; but so far Delta has remained in obscure retirement. I
guess maybe that's what happens when your spouse becomes vice president of a
major industrialized nation.
What Ann exemplifies here is her ability to write a complete story - one with
numerous details that at to the impact of the overall story rather than
distracting us. Her stories are not complete in the way that novels are
complete: they are more like good weekly TV episodes - lots of interesting
details with everything falling into place at the end. In addition, Ann has
the ability to treat her characters with a respect, dignity, and honest
sexiness that makes them really appeal to me.
Ilyssia is snowbound on Christmas eve at O'Hare airport. She meets the father
of one of her best friends. She's 24, single, and sexually aggressive; he's
42, divorced, and hasn't been with a woman since his wife left him a year ago.
They are forced to share a room, and they fuck beautifully. But the story is
much more than a May/December emboinkment. It includes serious and sensitive
concerns about who will sleep where, real evidence of the value of both sexual
experience and spontaneity, and the value of waiting - plus a literal cold
shower. This is an absolutely delightful story.
Minor grammar lessons:
(1) When you quote someone and follow the quote with "he said" or the
equivalent, use a comma in place of the period at the end of the quoted
sentence. On the other hand, if the sentence ended with a question mark or
explanation point, just leave them there.
"I knew I should have taken the flight out yesterday," Ilyssia thought.
"Wanna fuck?" Ilyssia asked.
"I'm gonna come!" Ilyssia shouted as her pulsating cuntlips continued to
caress his gyrating cock.
(2) Use "lay" (not "laid") for the past tense of lie, meaning to recline.
They lay (not laid) there for about fifteen minutes, just enjoying the
comfort of each other's body.
(3) When two or more words form a single modifier and precede a noun, join
them with a hyphen. If the words come after the noun, omit the hyphen. This
rule is often violated with impunity, but it's good to watch for cases where
the omission causes confusion.

"The Curiosity Shop" by Sven the Elder (sven@brass-neck.demon.co.uk). If I
were writing clever one-liners to entice people to read this story, I would
say, "Sven has gone Christmas shopping, but he finds a surprise present for
himself!" The surprise present is the lovely and vivacious Jo, whose full
name is too long to print here and whose husband is away while his wife must
play. This is a delightful little story that will take your mind off the
burdens of last-minute Christmas shopping.
Rarely do Americans find a woman who hunkers down and lets a man find her

"One Fine Weekend" by Mr. G. Reaper (MrReaper@DeathsDoor.com). Guest review
by Sven the Elder.
"My fantasy weekend started off in a very shity way." So starts this tale of
derring do! The story revolves around a weekend with the 'outlaws' - sorry,
in-laws - and the happenings of the weekend. That it involves the conversion
of a semi-religious fanatic to the ways of a sex maniac makes this a very hot
story. It should be read with great care and the aid of a set of welders
gloves and goggles. From that you may take it that this was one fantasy I
enjoyed - in spades!
Fantasy named, fantasy it is and fantasy it will remain as I think of it
tonight. If I follow Kim's fairly outrageous line (kisses Kim <grin>) I would
say it made me wet. Well you know what I mean....... Mr Reaper prefaces his
story with an apology for a lack of proofing, or even spell checking. For
once, even though it was apparent, I refuse to let it spoil the prose. It will
cost a point or so though. Celeste advises that an 8 is normal, anything
higher denotes special usage of the language; so I must give a 7.5, other than
that - I like!! Read and enjoy - I did

"Front Window" by losgud (losgud@hotmail.com). Guest review by Mark Aster
(myfrthal@aol.com).
This is a nice sweet sexy story, perhaps a little long, with a few rough spots
in the writing. But recommended to "MF cons" fans of all ages. Lots of nice
fucking.
To say too much about the plot would be to spoil the surprise. Basically your
typical guy meets the new neighbors, and gets to have hot sex with the sweet
young great-assed wife. Twice. With the promise of lots more to come. I
thought there was a bit too much setup: we didn't really need the furniture
rearrangement, nor the cat (although the cat does enable one wonderful double-
entendre line that it WOULD have been a pity to lose). I don't really care
what a large amount of urine he had to get rid of that morning (the urine has
nothing to do with the sex). And the whole obscene-phone-caller thing seemed
sort of unnecessary. But excellent use of panties! Also that lovely thin
dress.
The writing is generally very good, sweet and evocative. A few typos and odd
turns of phrase: "Her eyes were like those of a doe's" should be either "like
those of a doe" or (better) "like a doe's". The thrill that's described as
"vicarious" isn't vicarious in any sense I can think of. There a little
dialog about "usually" that I found incomprehensible. But those are nits.
Slightly more serious IMHO is a bit of Stupid Exclamations During Sex Syndrome
(SEDSS): why does she have to yell things like "That's it baby, _use_ that
fuck finger" and "Go, baby, _go!_ Fuck me now!"? Except during sex, she
talks like a normal person; why the trite cheap-porn-movie sex-talk? On the
other hand, I realize that some people find that kind of talk very sexy, so
Your Mileage May Vary.
Definitely Recommended.

"Let's All Nap Now, Please!" by losgud (losgud@hotmail.com). Guest review by
Kim.
I expect some of you are waiting for some sort of comment about the fallout
from my last review. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but it's all been settled,
and I'll say no more about it. So with that out of the way... onward.
I have reviewed some losgud stories before and they've always hit the spot. So
the question is will this one?
It's a short story for a start. Only a matter of a few minutes reading.
Basically it's the musings of a frustrated husband and father waiting for a
covert bit of lovemaking with his wife during one of the brief afternoon naps
of his small son.
Due to the cramped living conditions of his city apartment they have to time
their clinches to coincide with the offspring's sleeping routine. The problem
being that he is now reaching an age where his afternoon naps are less certain
than they used to be.
Ordered to get in bed by his wife, the man sits and waits for her to return
after having settled the boy. Soon they go at it like tigers and copulate for
all their worth. Having got round one out of the way they are about to go for
round two when...
I expect all you RL parents can guess the rest.
It seems as if Losgud was aiming for the territory that is usually the
exclusive domain of Uther Pendragon. And he does it very well, I might add.
Not brilliantly arousing by any means, but pleasing and gentle for all that.
Uplifting and amusing seems about right.
On a different note, to answer a question posed by Losgud on ASSD, I
personally prefer to see the asterisk used to denote *emboldening*, rather
than the under_score, but I have no valid or rational reason for doing so.
Losgud uses the under_score. Each to their own <shrug>.
{Celestial comment: I personally use either CAPS or _underscore_ for
EMBOLDENING, because the *asterisks* appear to my spellcheck as WILDCARDS and
slow up the proofreading process. I prefer that my guest reviewers do the
same.}

"It's Only a Dream " by Unknown Author. Guest review by David Rills.
Maybe it's me but I just couldn't get into this story of female masturbation
come to ghostly fulfillment. The submission is about a woman returning from a
disappointing "Blind Date". Lying in her bed, she begins to masturbate, falls
asleep and is visited by a robe clad stranger who makes love to her. There's
no plot and the sexual descriptions aren't very good. To make things worse,
the author makes numerous spelling errors. My advice: SKIP THIS ONE !

* "My Bedroom" by WA Emmerson (chas@bladon.dnet.co.uk). I have to admit that
the main reason I reviewed this story was because the size of the cock caught
my attention. It was immense - "just over seventeen centimetres from the base
to the top." We Americans don't do centimetres, so I just assumed that this
must be about 13 inches, since that's the size of a typical immense cock here
in the colonies. I called the librarian and asked her the American equivalent
17 centimetres. She told me it was 6.7 inches, and I said there must be some
mistake. She rechecked and said, "Nope, actually 6.6929 inches. Why? What do
you have that's 17 centimetres long?" I had to think fast, and so I said, "A
British hotdog." She said, "Those Brits should put more meat in their
hotdogs." If she only knew....
I made that story up. The part about the librarian and the hotdog, that is.
Actually, I looked up the formula in the World Almanac and did the conversion
on my calculator. You can review and rate my story, if you wish. But the guy
in this story was really impressed with his 6.7 inch beaver cleaver.
Anyway, the guy with the 6.7 love muscle is going to go clubbing with four
lady friends, and they are going to stay over the night with him in his flat,
which is what the British call apartments or certain types of shoes. I knew
what the author was talking about right away, since this was not a foot fetish
story. Anyway, the guy has sex with one of the girls. That's about it. It's
a really lame story - just a bunch of ideas thrown together without any
concern for timing, plot, motivation, or any of those subtleties we might
expect from a sex story. My own story at the end of the first paragraph of
this review was much better. My guest reviewers are going to be glad that I
kept this one for myself. But then, I also kept all the Mandible stories for
myself.

* "Cousin Tanda" by Unknown Author (editor@spellbinder.bc.ca). The guy has
been staying on the farm with his cousin Tanda. One morning she awakens him
early and asks him to join her in some voyeurism. By that I mean they watch
some pigs copulate. There may be something to the old theory of "Monkey see,
monkey do," because immediately afterward Tanda asks him if he'd like to have
a shot at it - with her, of course, not with a pig. They do pretty well!
This is a short, but very good story. It was presented as a sort of an

* "Travels with Aunt Paula" by Estragon. Paula is the guardian for her ten-
year-old nephew, the child of her deceased sister. Since she generally
requires Cal to appear naked in her presence, we might suspect that she is a
dirty old woman. Not true! Paula's every desire toward Cal is indeed
maternal, even her long-established insistence on his naked humility. It is
all for his own good. She has always known in her heart that a worshipful man
is a happy man; and an adored and well-served woman is happier still. All she
wants for her sweet nephew is as much happiness as a life of early sorrow can
still afford.
We learn several important Hidden Truths from the Feminist Catechism - a few
things that make one go "Hmmmm." For example, why does it feel good for a boy
to have his penis become hard? Answer: Because the erection shows that the
nearby female has power over him, and it's good to be honest and respectful in
that way. We also witness a detailed description of circumcision - that
sacrament (best conferred when young girls are holding the boy's legs apart)
which is designed to humiliate and shame a young boy and to enable him to find
his place in the world designed for women.
After his circumcision, young Cal became popular with the local girls, many of
whom had been present at his gala circumcision and who had told their friends
that here was a lad who was willing to become obediently naked for
instructional or conversational purposes. They could ask him questions about
his boy things and even touch them if they wanted. His aunt didn't mind at
all, and nobody even knew whether he did. Nobody asked him. Nobody really
cared. The girls who heard all this said it was incredible but they'd believe
it when they saw it. Cal had many visitors.
The censors might be suspicious of this story - thinking, for example, that
there is something unseemly in the idea of an 11-year-old girl gazing at and
touching the newly circumcised penis of a 6-year-old boy. That would be the
perception of a person with a filthy mind; most readers of this story will
easily see that this is simply an example of a lower-order member of the
species offering his genitalia as an educational tool for a young member of
the Super Race. For, as every British schoolgirl knows (with apologies to
Thomas Babington Macaulay), "The battle of the sexes is lost before it even
begins. Ladies just happen to enjoy being reminded of this fact."
Like most of Estragon's writing, this story is a fictionalized version of a
feminist philosophical tract. Some readers will find the ideas a bit
exaggerated or even bizarre. "Who could ever believe crap like this?" they'll
say. Well, my old Aunt Emma, for one. I escaped from her clutches long ago
(I think). She's dead now and can no longer reach me (I hope). But she had
these weird ideas about religion that ran exactly parallel to Aunt Paula's
sexual theories. Aunt Emma's books did not emphasize physical circumcision or
sexual humiliation - just spiritual versions of the same themes. I haven't
looked at the "Imitation of Christ" lately - and I doubt that it's high on the
reading list of most a.s.s. readers - but my recollection is that it seriously
argues that humans become more perfect by becoming better slaves of God. My
point is that if otherwise sensible people have been known to apply this
dominance/slavery theory to the relationship between God and humankind, it
should hardly be surprising to see it applied to the relationship between men
and women.
Estragon writes extremely well, and this is another good story. Every time I
sit down at my computer to review one of Estragon's stories, I say to myself,
"This female dominance stuff is nonsense. I want men to be my equals, not my
slaves." Then, as I read the outlandish but interesting events in the story,
I find myself realizing that there's a huge kernel of truth behind what
Estragon is saying.

* "Forever Faithful" by J Boswell. Holy cow! Could both Ann Landers and Dear
Abby be wrong? Both of those illustrious advisors adamantly insist that the
"other woman" gets the short end of the stick {so to speak}. But here we have
a woman who accepts an invitation to become a mistress in exchange for an
opportunity for professional advancement. She has regular trysts with her
gentleman friend three or four times a week. They feel quite affectionate
towards each other; it's much more than just sex, and there's no need for a
commitment. He's married, a wonderful lover, and safe, having had a vasectomy
years ago. Everyone, including the spouses, is happy; and the woman becomes
immensely successful in the business world! I don't know - either Ann and
Abby or the lady in this story must be living in a fantasy world.
Probably the most perverse thing in the affair occurred when the woman shared
her wedding day with her lover, because she wanted it to be special for him,
too. I don't think Ann and Abby have ever dealt with that issue; but I'm
pretty sure they'd agree it was perverse. That occasion also entailed an
example of either a seriously misplaced modifier or crossdressing: "Still in
my veil, gown and heels, Robert threw my dress up over my back and knelt
behind me, slowing pushing himself into my wet pussy."
After the prenuptial romp, Robert says, "Theresa, I love you all the more for
this wedding treat you've given me. I've thought about what I want to do and
decided that I don't want you to be a virgin anywhere in your body tonight."
Then he fucks her up her ass, in both nostrils, and in both ears.
The story wasn't bad; but it wasn't as hot as many of the better stories I've
reviewed recently. It was late when I wrote this review. The story had
potential, but was dragging; and so I made some of this stuff up. Sorry,
Boswell; you've written worse stories, but you've also written better.

* "Snowbound" by A. Van Peebles (an182636@anon.penet.fi). Planes are grounded
because of snow; and so the doctor's wife is stuck in a distant city, leaving
him alone in charge of the slumber party for a boisterous band of fifteen-
year-olds. One of the girls (who happens to be his favorite) falls and
sprains her ankle; and the old peter meter is on the rise as the doctor takes
her to his bedroom and gives her first aid. Afterwards, to avoid doing
something "irretrievably stupid," he is faced with the choices of a cold
shower or masturbation. He prescribes the latter for himself, but Allison is
vividly in his mind as he jerks off in the bathroom. The sex is hot here,
even though it's all in his mind. While Doc shovels snow the next morning,
the rest of the kids go sledding; but the injured Allison stays behind and
offers him a massage to cure what ails his sore back. He accepts the rubdown,
but will he decline to roll over and let her "do the front"? And what will
happen when his wife eventually returns home? You may be surprised!
