X-Is-Review: yes

Lady Cyrrh is back.

Yes, I am back. The reason for my three month vacation is simple. 
Two words. Carpal Tunnel. I am now lifting weights to tone and 
strengthen my arms, shoulders, and wrists, and it seems to be 
working. But I can't sit in front of the computer for extended 
periods of time the way I used to, so these reviews will only be 
coming out about three times a month now.

Anyway it was a nice vacation.

I will continue these reviews the same as I have before...a little 
bit of everything from the eight or so newsgroups I peruse. I 
may be grading them more strictly. Reading $24.95 published 
books does that to you.

If anyone had anything they simply HAVE to have me review, 
post it to the newsgroup and call my attention to it. 

That's all. I think.

The Tattoo Artists' Erotic Razor [A]

Tattoos, shaving and large, well-hung men come together in this 
story, told in first person by the lover of the tattoo artist in 
question. The tattooist has every inch of skin covered by his art, 
even the soles of feet and his cock and foreskin (imaginatively 
tattooed with two fishes so one appears to be swallowing the 
other) and the visual descriptions alone were worth the read. 
However, he also has another fetish: he likes to shave and be 
shaved, so the second half of the story concerns the narrator's 
denuding and the sex they then share. Very hot, if you like 
shaving and tattoos on big muscles.

The only quibble I have is the shavee griping he's going to have 
to wear a wig and pencil in his eyebrows so he can go back to his 
legal assistants' job. Huh? Does he think people aren't going to 
notice? Makes more sense for him to time it with a two-week 
vacation.

I haven't kept up with SF sitcom "Third Rock from the Sun" as 
much as I've wanted, but I know this season Sally, the alien 
warrior who has taken the form of a beautiful blonde woman, 
gets pregnant by her policeman boyfriend. That makes this story 
a little out of date, as the cop isn't even mentioned. But it mostly 
concerns little Tommy anyway. He's the aliens' intelligence 
officer and wears the body of a freshly post-pubescent boy. First 
he tries to get some pussy off his virginal girlfriend August, then 
returns home where Sally, having become tired of Harry and 
Dick (who wouldn't, I say) makes predatory advances toward him.

Although billed as incest it really isn't, as the "family" in 
question is a group of unrelated alien investigators. As a teen 
story it was pretty fun, with a cute description of Tommy being 
coldcocked: "He soon lost his erection, while his softening penis 
dripped several teaspoons of pre-cum all over the inside of his 
jeans,  dripping down one leg. He was miserable." Says it all about 
teenage frustration.

In this short story two spacemen visiting a strange planet try to 
pick up a hot stud for some sex. While sitting in the park, they 
shoot the bull about the peculiar pickup customs of other planets 
they have visited. Apparently on their world they have their 
cake and eat it too, as wives wholeheartedly condone their 
husbands tricking out on the side, as long as they get to meet the 
tricks. It's the ultimate closet.

Fun and imaginative if you like gay erotica on the light side.


At My Lady's Whim - A Performance for Mistress Lisa [C-]

Oh Boy! I knew I was in for a treat with this story when I read the 
first sentence: "I am Mistress Lisa's pathetic, pussywhipped slut 
and I live only to give her pleasure." I actually started to salivate. 
Does anyone in the real world really talk or think like this? I'd 
think the slut in question would say "Mistress Lisa pussywhips 
the shit outta me" if he (yes it's a guy) was speaking in colloquial 
English to an audience of his peers.

That laugh-a-minute intro aside, the story is about the male slut's 
outing at the beach, where Mistress recruits two jiggly thong-
butted cuties for some steamy, yet ultimately humiliating, sex 
with him. Exactly why the two volunteer for the mission is never 
explained. Mistress then supervises the action and bellows things 
like: "Look at that, she can't get you in deep enough, you pathetic 
worm.  No wonder she won't cum. Well, I know it won't be long 
before you give her your sick sperm you fuck." Later they go 
back to Mistress's pad and hang out in the bathroom, where the 
trio pee and poo on each other's faces. Again, it's never 
adequately explained why the two beach bunnies participate.

There's good D/S and there's bad D/S, and this is pretty bad, if 
only for the reason that bad fiction does not suspends your sense 
of disbelief; i.e. that these imaginary things could actually 
happen to real people. It's like watching Madonna act compared 
to Meryl Streep.


Magdalene [A+]

This was a very well-written BDSM story, a nice surprise as I've 
grown so used to tripe this past year. Yes, one of the things I 
definitely *did not* miss during my three-month 
recuperation/vacation was sifting through variations of 
"Mistress and her slut," as exemplified by the previous story. In 
fact, I don't even know why I reviewed the previous story. I'm a 
glutton for punishment, I guess. (There's a metaphorical twist in 
there somewhere.)

In this story, the narrator flies to another city to hang out with 
friends and meet an elusive dom she knows for a private scene. 
Despite a beginning that starts off like a Starbuck's commercial 
(traipsing through a major metropolis in the rain drinking hot 
chocolates and devouring cinnamon twists) then an MTV promo 
pop (jaded scenesters on a leather couch inhaling cigarette 
smoke) the story gets into gear when the two get together at a 
club, where he indulges her in her fantasy of the moment: 500 
clothespins. Ouch. Along the way there's ruminations on Mary 
Magdalene and the Virgin Mary and the peculiar brand of 
unrequited love these last-nameless doms inspire in their subs. 

I would not want to be pinched with 500 clothespins, or carry a 
torch for a remote dom who forgets all about me when I'm not 
around. But this story did a good job of depicting the feelings of a 
woman who would.


Fire on Ice [A]

Tyler is a teenage boy with a problem. He's gay, has a crush on a 
straight student, and a gay younger friend who has a crush on 
him. Life is complicated.

The three hang out and play video games, and eventually come 
together on a hill outside of town, where they share a playful 
group grope. This story was more about emotions than sex, and I 
enjoyed it, even if the narrator talked and thought a little too old 
for his age (14.) But that's the point of stories like this: to go back 
and relive your adolescence and paint it the way you wish it could 
have been.
