Keep in mind that other literary and media genres also have their tenuous assumptions. For example, take the American western movie: 1. Apaches, Commanches, and Sioux Indians were incredibly competent warriors. Nevertheless, they rode stupidly in circles around wagon trains so that elderly widows could kill them. 2. Good guys got wounded; bad guys got killed. Ditto for Indians. 3. Even in the most fierce battle, horses never got wounded or killed. 4. Neither colt revolvers nor repeating rifles ran out of bullets, unless the depletion of ammunition would contribute to the drama of the moment. 5. People who took women captive did not rape them. They just kissed them and tried to win their love with clever repartee. 6. During gunfights and battles there was a lull in the action to give time for deathbed speeches. Etc. Even more absurd assumptions are present in musicals. My point is that we on this newsgroup are not alone in having unrealistic assumptions behind some of our stories. Here's my current list of credulous assumptions that seem to underlie many a.s.s. stories. Note that this list doesn't even mention the obvious assumption (often cited by authors in a disclaimer) of a world in which there is no AIDS or any other sexually transmitted disease. Thanks to various contributors, my list keeps growing. 1. It is usually possible for a woman to estimate the size of a man's fully engorged cock by gazing at his crotch when he is unaroused and fully dressed and over ten yards/meters away. 2. Without the use of scientific instruments men can easily estimate the size of women's breasts from across the room, even if the woman is fully dressed. {Actually, this is no big deal, since nearly all attractive women have 38DD bust sizes anyway.} 3. The normal sequence of sexual experiences is first petting, then oral sex, then anal sex, then vaginal sex - usually all on the same date. 4. The first boy to touch a girl's breasts will come in each of her three orifices within the next hour. 5. Most women would intensely enjoy sexual contact with another woman, but most men would not enjoy sexual contact with another man, even if cultural biases were eliminated. 6. Children who have sex with their parents normally enjoy this activity and grow up to be emotionally mature honor roll students who will contribute to scientific research and to world peace. 7. Ditto for sex with older siblings, kindly neighbors, and random strangers. 8. When sons, daughters, little brothers, or little sisters ask questions about sex, the best way to answer their questions is to show them, using their bodies as part of the demonstration. 9. When a spouse or lover catches his/her partner having sex with someone else, the typical response is to join in. 10. Women typically have multiple orgasms during every fulfilling sexual encounter. 11. Middle-aged men can typically have sex with copious ejaculations several times a day for several days in a row. 10 & 11a. Women and men that can do so are happier and better sex partners than those who have fewer orgasms. 12. Kids can go blind if they masturbate too often. {Ooops. That one belongs on a different newsgroup!} 13. Kids who do not masturbate at least daily are severely disturbed. 14. It is important to pop a person's cherry before she gets out of high school {or gets into high school, has her first date, gets married, buys her first car, etc.} 15. Women typically enjoy getting raped, once they get over their inhibitions. 16. Men who force women to have sex with them are sexy. 17. People can be turned into sex slaves by college kids who read a chapter in a psych book. {Either that are some of these stories are written by Psych profs who are really desperate to motivate their students to read a chapter in their text book.} 18. If you ever get turned into a sex slave, it will be the best thing that ever happened to you. 19. The typical male ejaculation shoots at least 12 inches through the air {unless the penis is inserted into a receptacle which will terminate this expulsion. In this case the ejaculate lands with the impact of a speeding bullet.} 20. Most women ejaculate at least a pint of luscious fluid during a really enjoyable sexual experience. 21. Most people get turned on when their partner treats them with extreme cruelty for the partner's own personal gratification. 22. Most black men have "monster cocks." These 12- to 14-inch penises will thrill any pussy (or other aperture) lucky enough to receive one. Black women, however, do not have "monster cunts," nor do they appear to be all that interested in the genitalia of their black brethren. Hence the reciprocal fondness between black men and white women, especially those known as sluts. 23. The family that fucks together stays together. 24. It's more fun to have sexual intercourse when there's a genuine risk of pregnancy. Offspring resulting from unprotected intercourse of minors tend to be sexy honor students by the time they reach middle school. 25. Nuns {and English teachers, librarians, etc.} are really sexual dynamos. 26. Ain't nothing wrong with most frigid women that a riding crop won't cure. 27. Guys who go without underpants and have sex several times a day do not develop a nasty rash. 28. Male doctors get their rocks off during physical examinations of female patients. Female doctors have multiple orgasms whenever they examine a beautiful person of either sex. 29. A girl will get her first orgasm from her first intercourse, usually within minutes after having her hymen torn. 30. Most young girls are looking for experienced men to train them in sexual practices. They want to start but they don't know anything about it. When they find these instructors, they will say things like, "Yes, eat my pussy now!" {Which is a strange request from somebody that doesn't know anything about sexual practices.} 31. Most women who find that their husbands want to turn them out to their friends respond, "Sounds like fun." 32. Most boys who are forced to act the part of a girl find that they love the role. Unless this happens for the first time in a penal institution other than school. 33. Parents routinely leave their bedroom doors ajar when they intend to have sex, and kids do so when they intend to masturbate, which they do noisily above the bed sheets. 34. Nobody ever farts while making love. Especially not during anal intercourse. And even if they do, its never one of those rancid ones that linger on and on. And even if it is, the partner thinks its sexy. 35. No one ever gets a cramp while making love. For that matter, no one ever sneezes or has a nose so filled with snot that it's impossible to breathe, much less give a blowjob. 36. The woman's vagina never makes that 'farting' noise due to trapped air in there. If she does, this causes immediate orgasm in both partners. 37. Nobody ever forgets to wipe his/her ass prior to having it licked, which is unfortunate, because most people absolutely love the taste of human feces. 38. The woman never says "Ouch! I wasn't ready! I'm too dry!" If she thinks she wants to say these things, she instead says, "Fuck me harder!" 39. Men don't turn over and go to sleep immediately after sex. 40. Women don't fall asleep at the beginning of sex, when they feel so comfortable and relaxed, and they can just let themselves go.... If they do fall asleep, their partner regards this as a compliment. Second note: I was the recipient of an application of the Blowjob Principle recently. One of my main goals is to make the Blowjob Principle as popular as, say, Murphy's Law. That is, someday I hope that someone will go into the office of the CEO of a major company or nation and say, "You goddam idiot! Don't you even understand that the Blowjob Principle applies here? If a person expects to get a second blow job, the recipient should make the giver glad to have performed the first." And the CEO will say, "You're right. You did a good job on that project, and I neglected to show my appreciation." Then he'll give the other person a blowjob; but since the Blowjob Principle is actually a metaphor, the CEO will simply give the other person a raise or public praise or something like that. Simply summarized in its application to this group, the Blowjob Principle states that if you enjoy a story and hope to see more like it, you should express your appreciation to the author. A simple note that tells the author you liked the story and why will suffice - a literal blowjob is usually unnecessary and often impossible. Third note: Several people have asked how they can post stories anonymously. Here is some information on anonymous services. In general, these permit people to post messages without using their ordinary email address and without any reasonable possibility of their identity being traced. Information about one such service can be obtained by sending a note to admin@anon.nymserver.com or email to help@anon.nymserver.com with a blank message line. In addition to the above service, the a.s.s.m. FAQ lists these two web sites that offer free anonymous remailing services: www.POBoxes.com and II. www.Mailmasher. Another service available through email can be found at www.EDTec.com. Fourth note: Someone is reposting the Uncle Mike stories. My advice to you is to download all these parodies of American sitcoms and other television shows. I have reviewed 25 of them. I'll repost half of my reviews in this issue and the rest in CR 200. Meanwhile, I'll try to catch up on those I missed.

Jeanette is so pregnant that sex has become awkward, but they still do it. The action is sweet and romantic. As I have said before, the child needs to know that mommy and daddy like each other, and the main thing is that the penis should be removed before the baby comes out. The reason for the "8" for plot is that this segment is not a complete story in itself. The series is still 10-10-10. If you have never read any other segments in this series, you're likely to be left wondering what in the world is going on here. On the other hand, those of us who grown to know Jeanette and Bob will be pleased to see that things are still normal in the Brennan household. Ratings for "For Bearing" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "The United Way" by Mike Hunt (MrM1ke@aol.com). Pete and Mary want to have a baby, but they can't. To put it delicately, Pete's gun works, but it shoots blanks. Actually, most stories on this newsgroup take non-pregnancy as a given, but this one uses it as a setup. Well, says I, what can Mike Hunt do to help Pete and Mary get pregnant in a story entitled "The United Way"? Yep, it's just as you thought. Mike jerks off in a cup, gives the sperm to them, and they apply it. No doctors, no hospital, no lab tests. Just neighbors helping neighbors. Sort of like the United Way. What did you expect? But alas, a more direct approach becomes necessary, but things still are not as simple as you might think. You can read the story for the details. By the way, I hear NBC is planning to do "Hunter" reruns this fall. Ratings for "The United Way" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "The Same Time Next Year" by Tom (laddie@anon.nymserver.com). The idea for this story came from the movie starring Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda, in which the two main characters arranged to meet each other for an annual romantic tryst at a remote Northern California coast resort between the years 1955 and 1977. The author's storytelling technique is excellent. He plunges us into a sexy scene in the middle of the story, then fills us in on the background details, and then moves to the end of the story. Of course, one should not dangle one's modifiers: "Even without cleavage, I realized that I was sexually attracted to her." That sentence says that the speaker (Tom) is the one sans cleavage, but the deficiency actually describes Cinda. That lapse aside, this is an excellent story: lots of character development, a well-structured plot, and hot sex. As the author points out, this story begs the question of the potential harm to others caused by marital affairs. In this story, he says, the infidelity of the main characters is not a betrayal of a spouse, but is rather an act of self expression. Yeah, right! Look that one up in The Sophist's Dictionary. I think what he means is that this sounds like fun, but real life is sometimes less idyllic. It's been about a year since Tom posted his other two stories: "Birthday Surprise" and "Thanksgiving." I hope we don't have to wait until the same time next year for another story! Ratings for "The Same Time Next Year" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "A Difficult Question" by Tom Bombadil (mrdouble@ix.netcom.com). The title of this story is a setup. "Uncle Wally" is sort of baby-sitting for the 15-year-old neighbor girl, and she asks him if she should go all the way with a guy at school. They discuss the matter and he describes one of his early sexual experiences to her. Of course, the question in the mind of the reader is whether Uncle Wally is going to hump Pepper. I'm not going to tell you the answer to that one. If I did, there would be no dramatic tension left in the story. I will tell you, however, that THE difficult question is one that I have not yet mentioned. This is a very good story. I especially enjoyed the natural language and the plausible yet sexy plot development. This author is an enthusiastic user of my volunteer proofreading service. The author assures me that this story became substantially better because of the proofreading process. I encourage other authors to take advantage of this or a similar service, if they are not already doing so. Ratings for "A Difficult Question" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Sam's Bad Day" by BronwenSM (bronwen@anon.nymserver.com.). Sam is, among other things, a sidesman at his church. Forced to take the train home from work, he finds himself in a surrealistic world of sperm-berpers and perky DoubleTeamingTeens doing it doggie-style. Sam tries to reason with the juicy teens, but the perverted sex-vixens seem to have run amuck - er, amok - er, amuck, I guess. To put it bluntly, they just plain love to fuck & suck and talk dirty on the phone. You see, what Bronwen has done is compose a coherent story using as many spam lines from a.s.s. and a.s.s.d. as possible. It's really cute! He should receive a Well Deserved Spanking from Bare-Bottomed Schoolgirls. Pics at Eleven. Ratings for "Sam's Bad Day" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Tease" by Jordan Shelbourne (jordan@u36.com). Sometimes it's possible to read a lot into a story - even one that's just 500 words long. This story is about using a sexy story to "tease" a man to work harder. It's also about a woman who can "tease" a man by the way she conducts herself while bringing him off with her lips. It's also a "tease" because it leaves us wishing for more. Ratings for "Tease" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Conventional Sex" by the GreatxIam. The best thing about this sex story is that it is much more story than sex, but it's still a great sex story. The narrator is an 8th-grader in a Catholic school of the 60's. His hormones have begun to emerge, and he is interested in shedding his image of class geek. He resorts to pulling a prank on the nuns. He and his friend pull a commando raid into the convent, and it goes awry. His friend is caught, and the narrator finds himself in the cell of a naked nun. And a very beautiful naked nun at that. She becomes his ally and tries to help him escape, but this effort is thwarted by the pastor's two lean Dobermans. Returning to the safety of the nun's room, the boy recognizes in the naked nun some basic elements of anatomy that he has seen only in Playboy magazine. In short, he has now seen as much of Sister Juliet as he has ever seen of any woman, even on paper. Good Golly, Sister Molly! Alas, the poor lad has no means of egress and is essentially cloistered in close quarters with a naked and nubile nun. Well, they don't cover this sort of thing in nun school, and there is no patron saint whose job is to watch over oversexed teenagers putting the moves on nuns. To put it succinctly, the boy becomes attracted to more than the nape of the neck of the naked and nubile nun and they fuck happily and harmoniously throughout the night. If you can set aside the rather tenuous assumption that the two nasty neophytes are on their way to eternal perdition, you will find the sex to be passionate and arousing. Except for an age difference that once was the topic of an algebra problem on the SAT (Sister Juliet was one year short of being twice as old as her young lover, who was twelve years younger than she....), this young nun is in essentially the same position as Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music." My rather non-tenuous assumption is that once a nun falls off the boat, she might as well fall way off the boat - and maybe even learn to swim. As a former Catholic school student, I enjoyed this story immensely. And so the Seven Dwarfs stayed overnight at a convent near a wildlife preserve. The next morning, the committee of six sent a representative to the mother superior to ask if there were any nuns who were under three feet tall. When the reply was negative, these six began chanting, "Grumpy fucked a penguin, Grumpy fucked a penguin!" Ratings for "Conventional Sex" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Short Stories" by Chuck Williams (calldrlove@aol.com). This is a collection of four stories. In "Hockey Girl 1" Jo Ann is a girl who plays on the co-ed hockey team in the summer league; but she is a real girl, not a lesbian. In fact, at parties after the games she is one of those naughty naked nymphos we hear so much about in the a.s.s. spam. She eventually marries a guy on the team. End of story. In "Hockey Girl 2" the narrator is coaching instead of playing hockey. He has two girls on his team, both real cute and neither of them lesbians. They fuck real nice. End of Story. "Sherri and Terry" (third story) are rock groupies. The narrator has a rock band when he's not coaching hockey or humping hockey players. Wait! You won't believe this! Neither Sherri nor Terry is a lesbian; and so he and his friend fuck both of them copiously and ubiquitously - in the dressing room, in hotels, in their homes, in cars, in the back of their bus, and even in restrooms. End of story. There's one more story, but it's not as interesting as these others. I mean the following comment in the nicest, most constructive way. These are very bad stories. The author may see something sexy in his mind's eye, but in order to make it interesting to someone else, he has to develop an angle - that is, he has to tell the story in such a way as to hold the reader's interest. I could turn these summaries over to almost any of the authors in my recent short story contest, and these people could expand them into fascinating stories that people would want to read. The would accomplish this through such techniques as giving the plot a focus, spicing the story up with sexy dialogue, developing the personalities of the characters, and using language in surprising or clever ways. In their current format, these stories simply are not worth reading. If this author seriously wants to have an audience, he should imitate the techniques of some of the excellent authors who post on this newsgroup. Ratings for "Short Stories" Athena (technical quality): 6 Venus (plot & character): 3 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 3 "The Realtor" by Arthur Reily (Kristen's collection). Several weeks ago a reader wrote to me about my own story, which he referred to as "Virtuous Realty." I pointed out that my story was really a pun on "Virtuous Reality" and had nothing to do with selling or buying houses. However, since that time I have been watching just in case anyone has actually tried to develop a "Virtuous Realty" plot. This one is close, but no cigar: "Virtuoso Realty" maybe, but certainly not "Virtuous." It's a "true" story about a guy who goes to buy a house and the agent screws him and helps him make an earnest deposit. If you look past the grammar, it's actually a brief but hot story. Ratings for "The Realtor" Athena (technical quality): 6 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 8 "OK" by Robert (Kristen's Collection). I had time for a very short story, and so I chose this one, which Kristen says was sent to her by a 12-year-old boy who had a crush on her. It's about a 30-year-old man who goes to a family reunion and is seduced by a 12-year-old cousin and then humps everyone else in the family. I can believe this was written by a 12-year-old. The grammar sucks worse than Sandy does; the guy comes more often than anyone outside the spam lists; and we have no idea how anyone feels about anything. If that's your kind of story, you'll be glad to know there's going to be a sequel. Ratings for "OK" Athena (technical quality): 3 Venus (plot & character): 3 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 4 The following guest review was written by Purple Shade. "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime" and "The Rest Is Silence" by The Reverend. In the beginning, more years ago than I care to remember, there was STAR TREK. It was followed, an actual generation later, by STAR TREK - THE NEXT GENERATION. Which in turn was followed by DEEP SPACE NINE and VOYAGER. Since those early beginnings, long before the advent of the INTERNET, there has been STAR TREK FAN FICTION. A large part of which has been ADULT FICTION. The latest additions to this long tine are two new Voyager stories by THE REVEREND entitled "LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME" and "THE REST IS SILENCE" Both stories follow the lesbian lusts of Captain Kathryn Janeway. Punishment follows a familiar theme, a coupling of Janeway with her half Klingon engineering officer B'Elanna Torres. Although this is a road much traveled, the author does a good job with this outing. The second tale involves a character that is scheduled to appear on the TV series next fall, namely that of a female Borg called 'Seven of Nine." Lost without the embrace of the collective, she quickly finds solace in a much different embrace, that of the arms of everyone's favorite female Captain. Both stories are short but well written. It is very hard to work with established characters because everyone has an opinion of how that character should be depicted. The author handles it well and remains true to their TV personas. For what I'm assuming is a first effort, both stories left a desire to see more work by The Reverend. The following guest review was written by Tooshoes. "The Vengence Factor" by Warrior874. I was immediately on guard when I found a spelling error in the title, but I was surprised to find that spelling wasn't much of a problem. Apparently the author was careful enough to use a spell checker. Still, The Vengence Factor is riddled with technical and grammatical errors which could have been caught easily with a simple proof reading. The first few pages caught my interest, describing a setting that would be familiar to any Star Trek fan. An appealing young women, Julie, was taking her first adventurous look out into a big universe, on a space cruise known as the Pleasure Star. Little does she know that her father has an archenemy, Raven, who hijacks the ship, kills her father and enslaves her out of revenge -- or maybe because he's just that kind of guy. After that, the story turns into a simple mind control tale, with infrequent creativity, lots of pain, until at long last, Raven rapes and brainwashes every last bit of resistance out of Julie. Now she's a totally willing slave. Ah, yes, a happy ending. A happy ending to the story, that is, not to this review. {Note from Celeste: I agree with this review. I had trouble finding a reviewer to review this story. Two people told me they were unwilling to review it, because it looked like a "juvenile torture story." I think their point was that it's not very interesting to read about new ways that dysfunctional adolescents could inflict sexual pain on people. If there's going to be pain, fine; but it should have a reason, and people should react to it in a realistic way.} Ratings for "The Vengence Factor" Athena (technical quality): 3 Venus (plot & character): 5 Tooshoes (appeal to reviewer): 4 * "Leave It to Beaver" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). This is one of a whole set of parodies of old TV sitcoms. They even come with a cover story: Uncle Mike passed away, and Mom inherited the computer, and the gentleman who posted these stories found them on the hard drive and decided to share them with us. This story begins with Beaver secretly watching Wally flog his hog. While Wally is gone, Beaver finds the Playboy magazine and tries it himself - only to be discovered by his mom. Rather than rebuking him or making him feel guilty, June gently explains the facts of life to her son. Then she gives him a practical demonstration of how to please a woman. We also discover why June always wore those pearls around her neck. This was an enjoyable story. There's nothing complicated about the style or the plot. Some of it is actually good psychology - but some of it is bizarre, just like the original show. Someone might point out that in real life mothers would be ill advised to have sex with their pre-teenage children; but then they would be equally ill advised to name a child Beaver in the first place. Ratings for "Leave It to Beaver" Athena (technical quality): 9.5 Venus (plot & character): 9.5 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9.5 * "Flying Nun: Decameron Minus 99" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). Legend has it that in the days of yore - possibly back when television sitcoms were black and white - there existed a weekly series called "The Flying Nun." I know not who was in the show nor the content thereof; and so I cannot tell whether this story is a parody of that show, and so I shall respond to this as a tale of inspiration in its own right. This story tells of a poor farmer in a land called Italy who was possessed by a demon that revealed itself to the world through an appendage between the farmer's legs. One day a flying nun appeared from the sky, and on that and successive occasions the farmer persuaded the nun to help him draw the demon out of his body. The nun pursued her holy task with great vigor and through noble stratagems did indeed draw the bilious fluid of the demon out of the man; but alas on each occasion the demon had returned by the time of the nun's next visit, and the process of exorcism needed to be repeated many times. Fortunately, the nun enjoyed her holy chore and kept laboring at it with the patience of Jezebel. This is an excellent story. It reminds me that back when I was in Catholic elementary school we had to give our pastor a "Spiritual Bouquet" for his golden anniversary. He thanked our class, as he read it out loud: "....21 masses, 17 rosaries, 50 Our Fathers, 70 Hail Marys, 400 ejaculations...." And then he laughed. To us, an ejaculation was a short prayer, such as "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, pray for us." To our pastor the word had a more interesting meaning, which I suppose he heard about in the confessional. I don't think he thought the fifteen boys in our class were up to the task of 400 ejaculations prior to graduation. In retrospect, I don't think the nun who taught the class had any idea what the pastor was laughing about. Ratings for "Flying Nun" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 * "Father Knows Best: The Midnight Ride" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). Jim Anderson gets a late-night phone call from his daughter Betty, asking him to come and pick her up at the Thompsons' house, where she was supposed to stay over after baby-sitting. When he reaches her, Betty explains that Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had tried to molest her. Jim drives his Princess to a quiet place, explains that what had happened was her fault, and proceeds to fuck her himself. This doesn't bother her; in fact, she enjoys it, because Father Knows Best! Gimme a break! The first two stories I reviewed by Uncle Mike I liked better than this one. This is supposed to be a parody of the old "Father Knows Best" sitcom; but the characters are so far out of their ordinary TV roles that it just didn't come off to me as a parody. If you want a simple incest story masquerading as a parody with a moral to the story, you may enjoy this one. I didn't. Ratings for "The Midnight Ride" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 6 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 2 * "Family Affair" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). When evaluating a parody of "Family Affair," it is important to keep in mind that that story itself was an unintentional parody of American life. Uncle Bill was played by the insipid Brian Keith, a man completely devoid of enthusiasm and hardly capable of sustaining an erection, much less of having an orgasm. Occasionally he would have a date with a woman even more insipid than himself; but they would inevitably break up because of Uncle Bill's devotion to the children, whose names were Buffie and Jodie. Presented with names like that, I could never remember which was the boy and which was the girl. The issue was further confused by the fact that the girl was a tomboy and the boy a sissy. Even more confusing was the fact that the older sister - the very embodiment of the word insipid - was named Cissy. The three children were obviously unusual, but it was never clear to me whether the trauma that caused their peculiarity was the sudden demise of their parents or the fact that they had to live with Uncle Bill. How this show survived without a flying nun or two I'll never understand. Each episode would present new problems, which Uncle Bill would solve from his easy chair without moving his lips; and then the ebullient Mr. French would correct all the mistakes Uncle Bill made. Mr. French did not solve these problems through his own wisdom, but rather by consulting with the ubiquitous nannies whose influence is so conspicuous among American children and who sit in their places of honor each day except Sunday on the benches of Central Park. So in this story Cissy goes to her first formal dance; her boyfriend gets drunk and obnoxious; Cissy comes home feeling more insipid than usual; and Uncle Bill comforts her, dances with her, and then fucks her brains out. This story is clearly written, and the author has all the names right, but a plot like this is hard for me to imagine. Readers can interpret this as either (a) an actual romance about a dysfunctional guy who boinks the teenager entrusted to his care (in which case it's a pretty lame story), or as (b) a satire that lacks bite. Ratings for "Family Affair" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 6 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 4 * "Andy Griffith" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). Two little boys were arguing about the prestige of their parents. "My father is a doctor," said one. "I get free medical care. I can be healthy for nothing." The other boy replied, "Big shit! My father's a minister. I can be good for nothing." I modified his story a little, but this is probably the first time my pastor has been quoted on this newsgroup, although I suspect his picture has appeared on one of the others. More relevant to this review - Opie was the son of Sheriff Andy of Mayberry, and so he was good for nothing. This story begins with Opie transporting a peach pie from Aunt Bea to Helen Crump, who happens to be preoccupied at the time with Thelma Lou, who is deeply engrossed in Helen's hair pie. Opie is what them city fellers call transfixed, holdin' onto that peach pie in one hand and rubbin' his penis with the other. Well, it seems that Opie has been under the influence of Ernest T. Bass or a city slicker or something, 'cause when Thelma Lou leaves he goes into Helen's house and tells her that he's going to blow the whistle on her unless she gives him a real good blow job. And she does. But Opie doesn't stop there. He says he wants to fuck her. And he does. And Miss Crump moans and bucks just like a regular woman. And Helen says maybe next time he could fuck Thelma Lou too. And when Opie walks out and goes home, he's whistlin' all the way.

Mr. Kot-terrrr's wife Julie finds a love note that seems to indicate that Gabe has been doing the horizontal lambada with a female Sweathog. She resolves to teach both Gabe and the vixen a lesson. But then Vinnie Barbarino and Freddy Washington show up on the fire escape, and Julie switches to plan B. The guys are seeking counseling from Mr. Kotter regarding how to make a better impression on Chrissy, who happens to be Gabe's Sweathog Playmate. A sudden inspiration hits Julie, and she knows how to teach everyone a lesson. Rather than an abstract lecture, Julie gives Vinnie and Freddy hands-on practice. When Arnold Horshack shows up, all her orifices are covered. When Gabe arrives home after "work," Julie has a riddle for him: "If a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, what's better than a bird in the hand? Give up? A bird in the mouth AND two in the bush!" Gabe doesn't get it. Serves him right!

Mary needs some time off, and Mr. Grant is unwilling to give it to her. Finally, she whines in her inimitable way that she'll "do anything for it." Mr. Grant's eyes light up in response to an evil thought: "You'll do anything, Mary? ANYthing?" So Lou finally gets the blow job he's always wanted from Mary; and Mary figures it's over. But then Ted walks into the office; and to keep him quiet Lou lets him fuck Mary; and to placate Mary for this humiliation, Lou gives her a second week off. But then Murray walks into the office, and we have another emboikment and another week's vacation. And then Gordie the weather man walks into the office... This is a pretty good parody. Mary, Lou, and Ted are done best; it's easy to imagine these TV characters doing what they do in this story. Ratings for "Mary Tyler Moore" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 * "The Waltons" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). Erin and Jason, the 12- and 13-year old children of the Walton clan go off to a field and watch horses copulate. They marvel, and Erin tries to get Jason to explain the process to her more clearly, but Jason doesn't know much himself. Eventually they experiment by examining Jason's sexual anatomy and then Erin's; and after that Erin suggests that Jason and she might want to imitate the horses. They quickly discover the missionary position, which they prefer to horsy style; and soon they are having sex regularly. Then one day their older sister Mary Ellen catches them in the act. So Jason fucks her too - after Erin primes her, of course. A prologue tells us that eventually the rest of the kids join the fun as well. This is an interesting story about kids having sex with each other on the farm; and I guess it's fun to associate the activities with the various Walton kids. I have trouble with parodies, however, when the people get too far out of character. These kids all behave as if their irresponsible parents have taught them nothing about sex. I have an overwhelming impression that the parents and grandparents in the Walton series would have done a better job of raising their kids.

All the members of the Keaton family are going on a family camping trip, except Alyse, who has a cold and must stay home alone. Nick the Boyfriend has prepared some spiked orange juice with which to console himself in the wilds. Unfortunately, Nick leaves his brew at the Keaton house, and Alyse wolfs it down in an attempt to ingest some vitamin C. Skippy comes by to visit, and the drunken Mrs. Keaton comes on to him. He fucks her a couple of times and leaves just as the others are returning from their miserable trip. This story would have had more potential if more of the family members had been in it. Having Skippy fuck Alyse is probably not the most creative way to parody this series.

Jennifer is feeling horny. She has agreed to baby-sit for a large Russian wolfhound while its owner went to dinner with Herb. When Jennifer crawls under the desk to get a piece of paper, she gets stuck there; and she finds it not entirely unpleasant when she finds the dog licking and then fucking her panty-less cunt. In gratitude, she even gives the hound a blow job. Aside from this healthy dose of bestiality, the story also contains humor that runs generally parallel to that in the TV series.

Two beautiful librarians were painting the condominium that they shared. Because it was hot and because they were hot for each other, they were naked. The intercom buzzed, and the doorman said they had a visitor. When they asked who it was, he answered, "A blind man." Being very chaste women, they would normally have gotten dressed before letting a caller into the room, but since the guy was blind, they just said, "Send him up!" and continued with their work. When they heard a knock at the door, one of them swung the door open in her naked splendor, and the young man gawked at them, and a tent suddenly appeared in his pants. When he recovered his voice, he asked, "Where do you ladies want these venetian blinds?" That joke was originally about nuns, but I decided to give nuns and the Amish a break this week. The present story is about a blind woman. A young voyeurist takes advantage of her blindness and sneaks inside her apartment, so that he can gaze upon her naked beauty without her knowing that he is there - like a fly on her wall. The woman masturbates in front of him. {I suppose maybe that's how she got to be blind.} Well, she figures out that he's there {the guy was so horny that even I could smell his precum across cyberspace}, but she doesn't get upset. Instead, she invites him to have passionate sex with her. It's a very good story, but not quite as good as my librarian joke.

The narrator has a bit of a fetish for girls in cotton dresses. It stems from the day that he first copped a feel from a girl in a cotton dress. The girl had told her mother, and the two of them had come to his aunt's house (where he was staying) and demanded that he be punished. While they berated him, he became visibly turned on; and this simply stimulated the vicious circle of arousal, if you know what I mean. Anyway, the aunt, who also owned several cotton dresses, found it necessary to give him some sex education. The story never does mention what the boy's punishment was.

He gives her the impression that he has tapes of their romp at the motel, and the blackmail project is underway. So he has sex with her and humiliates her and lives happily ever after.

Back in the 1940s the kids used to hang out after dark and look through windows to see who was getting naked and who was getting screwed. A primary gathering place was outside the window of the narrator's mother. Even the narrator himself used to spend hours outside Mom's window, watching her play with herself or with someone else. Mom was a virtuoso, but that doesn't mean she was a virtuous woman. Times have changed. Back then, people didn't have air conditioning; and so they left their windows open, and the kids had something to look at. Nowadays, we have air conditioning, and most people close their windows and their curtains; but kids have dirty videotapes and sex on the Internet. Maybe that's what's wrong with the baby-boomers! They grew up after air conditioning but before vicarious sex had become easily abundant.

Maude has been abandoned by her husband in a blizzard. She and two men have burrowed into a snow cave, where it is necessary to cuddle together to keep warm. Of course, it also helps to do something that generates a little heat in order to maintain the level of warmth needed to sustain life. The idea of making love with two eager strangers in a cocoon of sleeping bags in a pitch dark cave certainly does have its erotic elements. With any luck there'd be a snow cave for the night. Ratings for "Snow Cave" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 * "Teacher" by Anne018 (Anne018bi@aol.com). {Note: This author has reposted this story with revisions. I am merely repeating my original review here.} One of my favorite approaches for hot sex stories is to have two scenes going at one time. Mark Aster does this by having Our Hero make love to one of the Allen sisters while the other sister has passionate sex nearby with someone else. The author alternates between descriptions of both couples, and often the participants are motivated by something one of the others does. Many authors achieve a similar effect by focusing on voyeurism: one couple gets hot and bothered while watching another couple making love. Plainman sometimes has three sequences nested in his narratives. The present story uses a similar technique: While Anne is taking a walk with Sandy, she describes to Sandy her experience of visiting another person to help that person and a friend get over a cold feet problem during their first-time lesbian tryst. While you and I read the story, we get turned on by the hands-on assistance Anne offers to the other couple; and meanwhile Sandy has removed her top, her nipples have hardened, they have reached a quiet place by the lake, and my pussy is becoming moist. In other words, the author combines the two sets of activities very effectively, and the effect on the reader can be very nice indeed. In short, at the most intense point of action, Anne is watching the two novices and is getting all turned on, while she is fingering her pussy and giving them instructions. Those two people are lost in heavenly rapture. Sandy, who is getting hot and bothered listening to Anne retell this story, begins to respond by removing some of her clothes and becoming increasingly intimate with the storyteller. Anne is getting turned on both by recalling the original incident and by what Sandy is doing to her. As the story continues, these different storylines combine and interact. Meanwhile, I as the reader, am experiencing all of the above. Like I said, it's an interesting approach. One thing that I found to be really irritating in this story is that both the person to whom Anne is narrating this story and one of the novices to whom Anne gave instructions are named Sandy. In real life this could happen, of course; but in fiction, why not help the reader out by using two different names? Occasionally, I would hear someone asking, "Did Sandy do this?" Sometimes I had to stop and think which Sandy was talking. In general, however, the context helped me out, so that this wasn't as big a problem as it might have been. My advice to the author is to use the Replace function on her word processor to change the novice Sandy to Penelope or Rachel or maybe even Yvette.

I am merely repeating my original review here.} After a romantic dinner Paddy's lover takes her back to her apartment and fucks her. I normally don't like these second-person (you) stories - and I honestly believe that this one would work better in the third person - but this one is so tender and descriptive that I'm going to let that element slide. When I saw this title, I thought I recognized it. I looked in my database under "Eyes," and I verified that this was a new story. But what I also discovered is that I have now read four stories containing this word, and all of them have received straight 10's. They're all good stories. I'll repost the reviews, and maybe the authors will repost the stories.
