Story Genres, Conventions and Fetishes

[cherrylips_au]

Bob I wasn't having a go at you just think it's very interesting to see how the catergories can be seen. I do thank you for your Mea Culpa and for reading my stories.

My understanding of the catergory Loving Wives is that the woman is accepting of the situation happening because of the love for her husband. My question is should stories about partners cheating be in the Erotic Couples catergory instead?

Alex I won't play with your balls today but maybe based on your analysis the catergory should be renamed Extra-martial Affairs, yet that still doesn't define the action being portrayed with the husbands premission.

I do think this is a great discussion breaking down the catergories as we will all benefit from looking at them in other ways.

Story Genres

Part of the appeal of the "Loving Wives" category is that it is not set in concrete. The category evolves over time at the hands of authors posting there.

I have seven stories posted in this category. My experience has been positive. The audience appreciates stories they like and aren't shy about expressing it.

You post there in good company, including; rgjohn, tonytony3, Bob Waters, Quinn Rogan, Ray Dario, Tony8888, and dozens of others.

I am grateful to Laurel for making this category broad enough to allow experimentation.

On the question of cheating wives, a few categories could be used. In most cases, you are dealing with one-on-one sex. Use the category that covers the nature of that action.

When I first found this site, I assumed that the Loving Wives stories included both the cheating wives and and the type posted by Bob Waters. I saw it as wives being "made love to" regardless of the circumstances. I was disappointed when I saw that the cheating wife story was virtually ignored, and when brought up in this forum it can turn into a negative OT fight.

In real life, cheating is a terrible betrayal of trust and I do not want it to happen to me or anyone I care about. However, I also find if a story is well written and you can understand and care about the characters, this type of story can be very erotic. There are plenty of stories here that I cannot stand such as incest and nonconsent. I have no interest in reading them or discussing them. If I see a post about them I ignore them, they have no appeal to me. I try not to judge others because I realize everyone has their own kinks, and I do not go into such posts and criticize posters who like these types of stories, like post below.

Anyway here are a few sub-genres of the cheating wife story:

Lonely housewife-wife is ignored or taken for granted by her husband so she goes outside to find sexual pleasure.

Upset wife-wife has argument with hubby and leaves to cool off and ends up being fucked by someone else.

fantasy cheat-where a wife meets a stranger sleeps with him only to turn out it was a married couple pretending to cheat on one another.

accidental cheat-wife feels hands on her, is unable to see for whatever reason, thinks its her husband only to turn out it is not. OOOPS!

horny wife-happily married or newlywed wife who is horny and wanting her husband who is on a business trip, at the office, sick, etc. Wife tries to take her mind off it and goes out for somewhere for some reason. She is hit on and flirts back. One thing leads to another and she reluctantly goes further and further until she looses complete control.

interracial experience-wife is married, happily or not, but meets a person of another race and is curious and eventually beds him (or them).

older wife/young stud-older woman, not looking for affair is flattered by attention by young man or men and ends up sleeping with them

revenge-wife cheats because she found out (or thinks wrongly) her husband cheated on her.

helpfull wife-wife sleeps with husbands boss so he can get a promotion, not be layed off etc.

innocent wife turned slut-quiet shy wife, has only slept with her husband, ends up sleeping with another man only to realize what she has been missing and is transformed.

pregnant wife-these are rare but, I have seen a few and they can fit any of the above sub-genres.

Alot of these basic themes can be mixed up and can be included in BW's list of stories. These are all I can think of now, I am sure there are others. Anyway, I think if they are well written and believable they can be just as erotic as the other type of LW stories.

Finding what you want in the way of cheating stories requires an understanding of how this site it set up. Instead of hundreds of sub-categories you have access to an efficient search engine.

"Search Stories" is listed on the main index page. Just a quick search of "slut wife" brings up 406 stories. "Cheating wife" brings up a list of 220. They are classified in a dozen categories according to the primary subject of the story.

Any fan of cheating stories should be able to find what they are looking for here.

Hope this helps.

Loving Wives

I think loving wives don’t have to be cheating storeys. Why not a story where a wife is so devoted to her husband that when there marriage becomes troublesome due to money, they device a plan to earn the money to get them back on easy street. It starts with a few mates at £50 each then she starts working for real and this opens up a hole new side to there loving relationship as well as there sex lives.

Variations on the theme you mentioned have been done many times in the category. Usually, the hook is some pressing need for money, rather than a desire to improve circumstances.

You restated a point that seems to cause much confusion. Cheating and consensual sexual adventures are two different brands of soap. Both are well represented here on Lit.

Tate,

You covered a lot. I just posted one called "An Adult Decision". It's a story of a 23 y/o who shocks her parents by trying to go out wearing a next-to-nothing dress. The parents protest and enter a deal with her. If she could prove to them that she could handle herself, they would keep quiet. The father play acts as a stranger. A couple of fresh moves and some drinks and they are pumping and sweating in front of the mother.

Not very writting, but I got the thought off my mind.

Tate,

You covered a lot.

Yes, but were any of my observations accurate? Are they possible hot spots in an incest story? Would any of those ideas fly, or are they much too simple and contrived?

Maybe you have defined one of the ultimate challenges, Tate. Take a simple contrived situation and make it believable and fresh. Incest might be the hardest. There are a limited number of family connections with true taboo appeal.

 

[Tatewaki]

Anyone else want to take a stab at defining a genre? If not that, how about listing the kinds of acts and ideas you like to see in a particular genre of erotic fiction you enjoy?

That's always the challenge, isn't it? Sometimes I even manage to pull it off.

OK,

The thing to capture is something that I have said before. Imagine someone you would jump into heavy traffic to save their store receipt from being run over by a Mack truck for, and would poke out your right eye to buy them a two cent stick of gum. Imagine loosing your breath at the very thought of this person. Imagine cuming on yourself at the mention of their name. Now imagine that this person is you brother, sister, mother, or father, else someone else very close in your family.

When you write about incest, put this type of passion when the characters are wanting to have sex. When they fuck, make them fuck hard.

That's the kind of story that make me finger myself.

I guess the problem I have with that description is that there has been absolutely no one in my life that I've ever felt that way about. Certainly not in the combination you described. I can probably fake it, but I don't "see" the kind of situation you describe without a heavy application of imagination and suspension of disbelief.

So, how do you go about capturing that self-sacrificing style of sizzle and sexual tension in your own writing?

[lexium]

Most of the time I take the actual situation and change it. Sometimes there is heavy fucking, but most of the time it's love making.

 

[Tatewaki]

Lex;

Take what actual situation? A real-life encounter? A movie or another story sex scene? Are you saying ou use an existing scenario and graft incest elements to it?

Sometimes there is heavy fucking, but most of the time it's love making.

I'm not so sure I see the distinction here. I've done both acts and often they're indistinguishable from each other except for the emotions involved. Is that it? In incest tales do the emotions of the participants need to be examined and highlighted even more than is usual in other genres of erotica?

Story Genres

Incest seems to be enhanced by adding in other emotional factors. For example, the widowed mother taking the son into her bed. Her loss and loneliness equal the son's lust as motivating factors. With the motivation on both sides, the situation is truly consentual. Some hot stories have come out of this scenario.

I usually will state such facts as rationalization in my work but seldom dwell upon them. Perhaps if I choose to write in this genre I will try to ham it up a bit.

Thanks for the insight, Axel.
