Maybe will need to give it a gander.

I watched that show and though it was pretty mid, but I crushed on that Asian actress.

All of this flashed through my head while Denise stared up at me, first with slight disbelief, followed by something like concern. From the outside, I’m sure I looked like what I was; namely, a guy from suburban Texas, just barely past his teens, attempting to ponder the fluid nature of gender and sexuality with a toolset short of more than a few conceptual socket wrenches.

"What is disturbing to me is that part of me wanted to go with him. The music, the pot and his big cock rubbing on my pussy had me hotter than I have been in years, maybe ever. I wanted to be fucked."

“You’re like a broken record stuck on asshole,” Chase told him. “Don’t talk about what you don’t understand.”

(from a different work in progress)

“Mom, I know you’re familiar with Immanuel Kant…” Izzy said, turning to me. Oh good lord, I’m about to be lectured by a First-Year.

“Yes, dear, I know Kant. History’s original 40-Year-Old Virgin. Give an upper middle class white guy a little education and he decides that he alone knows how the entire universe functions.”

“Ad hominem,” Izzy shot back, waving her hand like she was shooing away a fly. “Address the idea, not the incel."

So just to close the loop on this one, some reader reviews on the philosophy bits of the story below. Bear in mind that this was in Loving Wives.

Amazing how you made academic topics so relevant and situationally illuminating. The Marcus Aurelius/Stoicism back and forth was especially pertinent and humerous (“of course a fucking Enperor would say that”). and making Kant relevant was another inspired moment. On a serious note, the Stoicism discussion was instructive. Fully useful counsel for all of us — kind of like Caitlin Clark modeling “cognitive reframing” for us (oh, to be schooled philosophically and psychologically by a blessed 23 year old).

Really well done, layered with philosophical history that added to the tale immensely.

Too much psycho-babble, it usually comes from the therapist but from a daughter...no way

Philosophy has never been my thing so I had to struggle through that a little bit, but the ends justify the means in the story. (LOL!)

Pseudo intellectual drivel with cardboard caricatures instead of characters.

I found they way they argued about philosophy while philosophizing kinda numerous.

I could certainly have done with about 70% less physchobabble but what a warm, believable tale.

Never expected to get an intro to philosophy class here. well written characters and I can understand the daughter's desires.

I am still laughing at the incel from Koenigsberg

Excuse me, do you have a moment for our Lord and Savior? Just kidding, you don't, because according to JME McTaggart reality is not temporal and all descriptions of time are circular, contradictory or insufficient.

“I would have married you. I would have loved you.” Her whisper was like a ghost that never lived. A life that could have been but never was.

Oh, I see it is time to sharpen my knives.

From an unfinished gem I'd packed away a while back and am revisiting to move to my pending folder:

I couldn’t help but wonder if you went to hell for masturbating to images of your cousin or got a dispensation for her being a stone-cold fox.

Looking sideways at Mistress Dharma, Mean Mac then held up the day's itinerary that had been printed and read from it.

"Mirror meditation, holistic-tank immersion, crystal sauna, ginger-mudbath and it just goes on and on like this. It all seems very time-consuming and very white. Also, you misspelled the word 'sauna'."

He kisses my cheek. Then he kisses my lips. Then he kisses my neck. Then my breathing takes on the rhythm of an invitation, and his hands make their way under my shirt.

The Opposite of Jealousy, now published!

I kneeled there like a pliant doll, not eager to see what happened next, as that felt like too active of an emotion, but still with a coiled sense of anticipation in my belly.

Katherine had moved from Fukuoka to Paris to live with an airline pilot who smuggled little baggies of pills and coke under his hat, and still wore the gold bracelet he’d bought when she found out. It sat on her wrist next to the other bracelet, the one with the diamonds, she’d been gifted while working for FIFA – “for services rendered,” she’d said, smirking, “but he never got the services.”

I may have posted this one before, but I was reading one of my older stories and came across it again, so..,

I had a great round and didn't think about Steve's cock in my ass once, ok maybe I did, but not over two or three times, possibly four. Fuck.

"Its the same sad story. Money goes in her hand, cum goes down her throat, money goes to the dealer and coke goes up her nose."

"Huh?" Chase began to turn his head toward Laura, but Synclair tightened her thighs around his head. "Ignore that cunt and eat mine."

How many decisions did you have to get just exactly wrong to wind up at this moment in your life?

"On the dance floor, there were so many people. I got nervous just looking at them. But you. You were dancing, like you were the only person there. It was comforting, lonely. Beautiful."

Wiping my face and blowing my nose, I curiously wondered what sort of person carries around handkerchiefs in their pockets.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

"These are noisy fuckers. We don't even need to sit down for this." The wind hit, and, indeed, the palm fronds slapped together like a pile of wet fish. She loved the sound, still, but they were so fucking insistent about it. Buncha dorks.

 

[LegendInMyOwnMind]

From my current WIP. Some background. FNC is recovering from a major SA trauma, but is still a virgin. The MMC is not a virgin but has had an emotionally traumatic first time. MMC is FMC's step-brother, raised together since 12, they are now 20. MMC is a principal actor in helping her healing process. Eventually, she asks him to be her first as he's now the only man she can trust. He agrees primarily in an honest desire to help. The line:

Before we sat on the double bed, I took one more look at her. I realized that her acquaintance with grief had enhanced rather than marred her beauty. When we sat down, I studied her face and saw the love and trust in her eyes, but also the fire and the naked need.

More excerpts will follow.
