Fortunately she happens to be jogging past a barn, and she ducks inside to wait out the storm. She quickly strips out of her wet things and wraps herself in a convenient blanket. In no time at all, she is thinking about sex, and her fingers wiggle their way to the place where fingers are wont to wiggle. Just as she reaches the key moment, three male joggers show up at the barn door. Denise is good at taking advantage of lucky situations, and the men are soon experiencing the best jog they've ever had. Technically, there are only a few stupid spelling mistakes, which makes this story better than most stroke stories you see in ASSM. But it is still a typical ridiculous stroke story plot, and the characterizations are almost non-existent. If you're reading just for the sex, this isn't a bad story to delve into. If you want more than sex, you probably want to find something else. Rating: * * * --- {ASSM} {ASS} Like What You See? {Leithyl} (F-solo /voy/ F-solo) By Leithyl http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2002/36455 A woman gets a phone call. "Have you ever masturbated in front of your lover before?" she hears. She hasn't but that doesn't mean she never will! This story does not use traditional paragraphs. In some sense, it's arranged like a long poem, but for me, it didn't read like a poem. The formatting is simply used as a way to break up normal prose sentences. The odd formatting became more distracting as I read along. The story also uses one of those annoying second person `you' characters. Sometimes second person stories work when you can read it as a love letter, but this story doesn't work as a love letter, either. On the positive side, the thrill of performing for a lover comes across nicely, and it is a very sexy situation being described. But with the other flaws, it's hard to give this story a strong recommendation. Rating: * * --- {ASSM} "Pine Trees" by Dryad (MF,oral, cheat) By Dryad http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2002/36460 A woman needs to have a few pine trees in her yard taken out, and she has a crew of four men come in to do the work. The foreman, Mike, catches her attention, and when the other men quit for lunch, she asks Mike to take her up in the cherry picker. When they get up high enough, we discover that her husband doesn't like her blowjobs all that much, and damn it, she misses giving them. The foreman, fortunately, is a lot more appreciative than her husband! The plot and characters are not too substantial, but this is still a cute little story, and the cherry picker is a nice twist on the usual sex story fare. It's a nice little diversion, sexy in its way. Rating: * * * --- {ASSM} Story: Our New Neighbors (fict, MFMF, DP, creampie, Kelly) By Biff Jones http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2002/36479 The nice young couple who just moved in next door quickly become friends with Kelly and the narrator, and the four of them are soon spending a lot of time together. When the new neighbors finally get the hot tub up and running, they make plans for a little party. They polish off four bottles of wine, and Kelly and Jen start acting frisky. They model the new bikinis they bought together, pass out new Speedos for the boys, and dip into the hot tub. It doesn't take long before they are talking about sex, talking about fantasies, and making dares. With four bottles of wine in them, you can bet there aren't many inhibitions holding them back. This is a very good stroke story. Like most stroke stories, the plot and characters are shallow, and I learned more than I cared to learn about the women's bra sizes. But the sex is hot and vividly told, and I liked the way the excitement builds as the story moves along. Rating: * * * --- {ASSM} The Elevatrix (MF, cons, voy) By QSliver http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/Year2002/36483 You'd be amazed at the things they can do with computers these days. Even the elevators have been programmed to maximize their efficiency and, with the aid of state-of-the-art flat panel displays, provide the elevator's occupants with trip status and appropriate advertisements. But maybe some of these elevators are getting a little bit too smart for their own good. Two strangers, Tracy and Justin, are speeding their way to work when the elevator suddenly screeches to a halt between floors. The helpful elevator automatically calls the maintenance department and helps the stranded couple notify their appointments. With forty-five minutes to wait, Tracy and Justin begin to get to know one another. And with appropriate music playing in the background, they get to know each other very well indeed! This is a cute story. I think I would have liked it even more if it had been a little bit longer, as it rushes too much in a couple places. But it's still a very clever idea.
