Sarah and Kelly are college roommates, and, as in 99% of all ASS 
stories about female college roommates, they have the hots for 
each other. Notice, too, how college roommates who have the hots 
for each other never have boring names like Anne or Elizabeth 
or hippy-dippy ones like Sierra Sunshine. Anyway, Sarah 
invents a screensaver that utilizes stereograms and discovers it 
has a hypnotizing effect if you stare into it too long. It is this 
effect that causes the roommates to declare their desire for each 
other.

Though the subject matter (stereograms) could have been 
interesting and unusual, the story was not. It was woodenly 
written, dry, and predictable; the characters were cardboard and 
the sex they have was only briefly described: "Within moments 
both girls were shedding clothing. They explored each other with 
their eyes, hands, and mouths. After a while, Sarah was on her 
back with Kelly's head between her legs, bringing her to 
ecstasy." 

Maybe stereograms and sex just don't mix.

In this brief story the narrator and her boyfriend "T" go down 
the docks for an afternoon outing where the narrator ogles some 
sailors. It turns out the narrator is a subfem and accepts the 
warning of her maledom "T" to keep her eyes to herself. The story 
is confused on this point, but it seems "T" has the means to 
reinforce his orders using an X-frame, whip, and quirt, and the 
narrator accepts all this as being good for her in a personal sense 
as it forces her to act like less of a slut.

As a sex story, this one didn't deliver, but if you subscribe to the 
author's personal philosophy--that women need a man that sets 
limits on their sexual behavior, and reinforces the limits with 
physical punishment--it might interest you.



Sharadzi [A]

The author says of this story, "This story is the one I always give 
people when they first ask for a sample of my erotic fiction." 

Sharadzi is an artificial human being engineered to look like an 
elf who services clients in a sort of interstellar brothel. Her mind 
has been altered to always be pleasing and look pleasing for her 
clients and harbor genuine emotion for whomever she is 
servicing. One of them, the heir to a large company, becomes 
infatuated with her and kidnaps her, intending to start a new life 
in which they are both equal partners. But Sharadzi's inborn 
programming betrays him.

This story was more story than sex, that is, a story in which sex is 
an outgrowth of plot, background and character rather than 
being the excuse for them; it should interest SF fans in 
particular. It was a little too polished maybe; it didn't have that 
wild, over-the-top events and imagery I read neterotica for. But 
considering the low quality of most ASS stories, I'd gladly accept 
my fiction without burrs.



The Great Mysto [A]

The narrator and his wife go see a performance by The Great 
Mysto, who, as his name suggests, is a hypnotist. The pair 
volunteer to be subjects and find themselves unable to recognize 
each other, acting like hookers, and admitting homosexual 
tendencies. The show ends, but their victimization does not, as 
Mysto has planted a post-hypnotic suggestion for the couple to 
visit him backstage. Contrary to what you'd think in such a 
scenario, he hypnotizes the husband to be his sex slave, turning 
the wife into a pea-brained hooker-slut to get her out of the 
picture. 

Though it wasn't exactly original, the story was very well 
written, concentrating on what makes mind control story great 
(the masterful, sinister hypnotist, permanent sex slavery, the 
inability of the victims to do anything about it) and the cliché of 
the hypnotist show was handled in such a way that it was 
amusing, letting us know that it was cliche. The story was also 
interesting for the revenge of sorts that was taken on the wife; it 
could have been written by the disgruntled lover of a married 
man who refused to be "outed." 



Hot Man for You to Use, Parts 1 -7  [A/A-]

After being fired from the police force for testing positive on a 
drug test, ex-Marine Mitch Conrack decides to become a male 
stripper. Though the writing was rough in places and broke a lot 
of rules, I couldn't put these chapters down; I just *HAD* to find 
out what sort of kinky adventure the hero gets into next on his 
descent into male slut-hood. It was like a role reversal of all those 
stories about women who start exotic dancing and wind up turned 
into rabid fucksluts. And like those women, poor Mitch winds up a 
bisexual (and rapidly approaching full gayhood), buff, shaved, 
continually horny male fuckslut craving abuse from the 
powerful older men who frequent the clubs where he is 
employed. All strippers dress as macho icons like lumberjacks 
and policemen, and in one club they are even used as objects of 
revenge (for example, ex-felons abusing a stripper dressed as a 
cop.) It's as if the Village People suddenly got down and dirty in a 
way you'd see in the 1970s. There's pre-cum and ejaculations 
flying all over the place, and whips and rings and assholes 
begging to be filled. Though the story is categorized as gay, it's 
really more male bi, as females sometimes take a hand in the 
proceedings too.

In a word, yum!
