As I understand it, the cancellation of that service was not directly related to the sort of stories that anyone was posting to this newsgroup. But I don't want to discuss the reasons for the closing. Several readers have asked, "What can we do now?" Here are some possible answers: 1. Consider the possibility that you may not really need that much anonymity. Unless your actual name appears in your e-mail address, you may already be as anonymous as you need to be. If your concern is that someone else may both (a) know your address and (b) see that address associated with a dirty story, consider simply using two separate addresses: one for a.s.s. posting and another for your regular work. A very large number of people who correspond with me do exactly this. This process is especially easy on AOL, since that service automatically supplies users with multiple e-mail addresses. 2. Consider using one of the following services. I know nothing about any of these. I am simply repeating what a responsible person told me. If you want more information about any of these, you'll have to find it from a source other than me. Anyway, here are some anonymous remailers that may adequately replace the anon.petet.fi service: http://www.penet.fi/>Penetic Page

"Morningsong" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@midway.uchicago.edu). The lover is sleeping soundly, and the narrator is going to wake him up by gently maneuvering around him and stimulating his cock. Normally I don't like second-person ("you") stories, but this author does it very well. There is even a surprise ending to this very short story. Ratings for "Morningsong" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Paint" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@midway.uchicago.edu). When a favorite author writes a very short story like "Morningsong," I am inclined to declare a bonus week and do a second story. So here goes. A young woman is helping her best friend paint an apartment. Her former boyfriend, who is now dating the best friend, is helping too. It is a sweltering hot day. When the best friend goes out for more paint, the other two go for an unscheduled quickie. Ratings for "Paint" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9.5 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 "Tanya Fills In" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com). If you have followed the Allen Sisters saga through the 44 or so stories that Mark Aster has posted, you have met a lot of Pat and Julie's friends. Let's see. There's Kayla, Suzy, Robin, Tracey, Chrissy and even Chrissy's Mom, and, of course, Aunt Kate. Some have had exotic names, like Midori and Alani. My own favorite has been Aurora Drake. In fact, the next time Our Hero needs a break, I hope Aurora Drake fills in for him. At any rate, Our Hero, who usually writes a weekly story, is on hiatus this week; and so Tanya is filling in. It never occurred to me that fictional characters needed vacations, but apparently they do. The last time we met Tanya, Our Hero was stroking in and out of her from behind, while she held on for dear life to the railing of the Phelps Avenue bridge and tried not to scream. There was also a beautiful but unnamed woman doing herself on a rock down below the bridge, and the women's eyes met just as they both came. What scares me is that when I tried to look this story up in my database, I got the title right on my first try, even though there's no mention of Tanya or a bridge or anything in the title. I'll repost the review of that story - "Do You Want It?" - in the hope that the author will repost it for its topical interest. The story ABOUT Tanya was better than this one BY Tanya; but that's largely because the other was a hard act to follow. In this one Tanya gets naked while she talks about her preferences in stories and then describes a story about her fucking a stranger while she waits for Pat or Julie. Have these people no sense of morality? Ratings for "Tanya Fills In" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 *"Do You Want It?" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com). I've been lurking at my computer, ready to pounce on this author as soon as he makes a mistake. He patiently sends me each of his stories shortly before he posts it, and I eagerly devour each one - expecting that the string of good stories will have to end. After all, his plots are largely similar: hot sex between or among two or more friends or strangers of the same or different gender, usually with one or more persons watching and having sex while the featured couple or menage do their thing. That storyline eventually has to get boring, doesn't it? Well, not yet. Maybe it's because my computer was down for the last week or so, but I found this story to be one of Mark's most erotic ever. I live my real life in an interestingly boring world where I have not yet and probably will never will utter the sentence, "Do you want it?" under circumstances quite the same as those depicted in this story. Mark Aster writes about an imaginary world where there are no sexually transmitted diseases and where casual sex is not likely to ruin some of the best things in life - in short, a world where recreational sex is almost always the wonderful fun that it is on the best occasions in my real life. I would LIKE to live in Mark's world; and I do live there in my imagination. If I did live there and if I came upon a really cute guy watching a really sexy girl masturbate, I'd look him straight in the eye and shock his socks off by asking him, "Do you want it?" Then I'd casually remove whatever clothing would obscure and impede his access to my ass and pussy, and I'd lean on the bridge in front of him, so that I could watch the lady do her work and so that he would have to look past me to see her. I'd let him fondle, kiss, penetrate, and generally do wonderful things to my anatomy. I'd let my pussy muscles return the favor without distracting me even a moment from the interesting object of our mutual admiration; and when the young lady that originally attracted his interest would eventually look up, I'd lock eyes with her and let her know across the distance that I was every bit as happy as she was As a final touch that the author did not think of, I'd wink when I managed to time my climax with hers. I don't live in Mark's imaginary world, but my husband has his Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar near my computer. While I read Mark's story after school this afternoon, I found myself glancing at that calendar; and Miss April and I managed to merge Mark's world with my own in a way that made me very happy. As I'm writing this review, Miss April is still there, and I'm getting horny again; and as soon as I finish this sentence, I'm going to head for the bedroom, summarize this story to my husband, and see if he wants it. It's now morning; and he did want it - twice! That's a total of five raging orgasms in less than 24 hours from one story! I suggest you read it. It's now late afternoon. I made it through the day with all those sexy people in the teachers' lounge without giving way to my lust. As I glanced back over this story before writing the next review, I realized that there's one more idea that I wanted to mention. I have on several occasions commented on interracial sex. I think it's wonderful that people want to make love to people of other races; but I have expressed concern that so many of the newsgroup stories focus on people of one race humiliating those of another. Or Black men are often described as possessing animalistic qualities that make them distinctly different from their white counterparts. The present story handled interracial sex wonderfully. The woman who was masturbating while reading her book was a Black woman. There was no implication that there was anything abnormal about the woman - in the author's imaginary world all sensible people are sexy and sensuous and give pleasure to themselves and to others. But neither the woman's personality nor the color of her skin was irrelevant; rather these factors were treated as a natural part of a hot story. Skin color is not invisible. I like my own skin. I love to run my fingers over it, especially when I'm turned on; and I hate its blemishes - although my husband claims these make me more attractive. My skin happens to be white and my hair happens to be dark and my eyes brown. These are very sexy skin, hair, and eyes; and so were those of the woman in the story and of the model on the calendar. It's beautiful and natural to take all of these things into consideration when telling or reading a story about sexy people. What I am trying to say is that an unexpected extra of this story is that the author managed to introduce race in such a natural way that it simply became a realistic, natural part of what I would normally notice in a sexy setting. I really liked the way he handled that detail. Ratings for "Do You Want It?" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Father Dowling: I Am Heartily Sorry" by Uncle Mike (fr582@cleveland.Freenet.Edu). I have never watched an entire episode of "Father Dowling." I may be wrong, but I had the impression that it had something to do with a priest and nun working together to solve crimes; but this story has no detective work in it. Since I know so little, I won't try to comment any further than that on how well this story works as a parody. The story focuses on Father Prestwick, who is hearing confessions. Most of the penitents are old ladies and children, whose "sins" are boring; but then in comes Mrs. Klimaszewski, the woman in her early 30's who wears no bra and whose husband is out of town and who confesses her sins of masturbating and getting it on with the newspaper boy. Since that session has already turned him on, Father feels predisposed to prod a little when Sister Stephanie comes in to confess her sins; and pretty soon Sister Steve has another sin - or several sins, depending on how you count - to confess the next time she drops by the confessional. I honestly believe that Catholic priests have gotten a bad rap in recent years. I think they are every bit as upright and virtuous, although certainly not as intelligent, as English teachers; and I really don't think they are any more likely to behave unprofessionally than other people who work closely with people. I really doubt that the sort of thing described in this story happens very often. But it sure makes a good story! Ratings for "Father Dowling" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Bobbi Sue's Adventures" by Bobbi Sue (an100013@maedata.com). The last time I had checked, there were 13 of these Adventures. We're now at Adventures 20 and 21, and I presume there will be more to come. They purport to be an autobiographical account of what happened to a 30-year old woman when she discovered this newsgroup and started having fantasies and then acting out those fantasies. As I said previously, I'm skeptical that she actually DID all the things described in these stories; but I have truly enjoyed the fantasies, and so if Bobbi Sue wants to say these things really happened, who am I to argue? Bobbi Sue slipped gradually but eagerly into depravity; and as my old math teacher would say, it was a geometric, not linear, progression. First she read the stories and then jumped her husband's bones when he got home; then she began to masturbate after reading the stories; and soon she found herself selecting carrots and cucumbers at the market based on how she thought they would fill her pussy. Then she began going nearly naked during her noontime run and flaunted herself to a passing biker. Pretty soon she was doing the biker and his friends and anyone else she could find. Like many weekly TV shows: the pilot episode was really excellent, but the subsequent episodes never quite lived up to the expectations set by the pilot. I think it is possible that the first story was close to literally true (as the author claims); but (as I said earlier) I am skeptical about the literal veracity of the subsequent episodes. I don't mean to offend the author with that previous sentence. If someone is going to write sexy stories, it's more important to be sexy than truthful; but perhaps it's not necessary to claim to be "perfectly truthful" when this is not the case. Taken together as one large story, these represent very good erotic material. Bobbi Sue comes across as the consummate exhibitionist. There continues to be consistency but also variety in Bobbi Sue's Merry Adventures. For example, whereas she started as a runner seducing bikers back in Adventure 1, in Adventure 21 she goes out into the middle of a lake in a boat, flashes some guys on jet skis, and fucks both of them in plain view of the guys with binoculars on the shore line. The she returns to the cabin, where she gets it in the pussy, mouth, and ass from her hubby and their recently divorced friend who needs comforting. Bobbi's Adventures are probably a bad idea. I mean, in real life Bobbi Sue would be a 5'1",105 lb., 34A-22-34 walking death trap. But she's a very hot fantasy. Ratings for "Bobbi Sue's Adventures" Athena (technical quality): 9.5 Venus (plot & character): 9.5 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9.5 "15 Minutes of Fame" by Grimalkin. One of the first stories I ever reviewed was by this author. In the premier issue of Celestial Reviews I rated "Amanda" a "2" and referred to it as an "illiterate story about an actress." Since the story apparently sucked, I am not going to bother reposting that review; but I imagine I would have giving it a different rating with my new system. The present story is "an illiterate story about two people fucking in an elevator." But once you get past the illiteracy, the story is not all that bad. And the illiteracy isn't all that bad either - just run-on sentences, dangling modifiers, missing apostrophes - generally the sort of thing a ten-year-old American girl or fifteen-year-old American boy would write if they knew anything about fucking in elevators - or lifts, as the Brits call them. Ratings for "15 Minutes of Fame" Athena (technical quality): 3 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 8 *"Debby's Dark Lust" by Vic S. Debby started married life as a demure little lady, and Todd has done his best to bring her along to where she enjoys things that she previously would not have liked at all. Todd has often disclosed his own fantasies to his wife, but suddenly Debby has expanded on his fantasies by saying she'd like to make it with the new caretaker of the nearby lighthouse. The caretaker is a black man, and Debby and Todd have surmised that therefore he is well hung. It turns out that for over 15 years Debby has had a fetish for having sex with a black man, and this fetish is perfectly compatible with Todd's own desire to see his wife get screwed by a man with a large cock. Therefore, they start making plans to turn fantasy into reality; and while doing so, their own lovemaking becomes more intense and better than it has ever been before. The sex scene with the caretaker is highly erotic, as are several of the fantasies and husband-wife scenes. The author does an excellent job of moving back and forth between the viewpoints of the husband and wife, describing the thoughts of each from the limited perspective of what each knows about what the other is thinking and feeling. Actually, ALL the sex is pretty hot; so read the story and check it out for yourselves. In a way this story is typical propaganda for the swinging lifestyle; I doubt that many swingers are as ecstatically happy as these people are. On the other hand, I doubt that as many people in ordinary marriages are as ecstatically happy as they hope to be. But fantasies can be ideal; and this one is certainly a hot story. As I've mentioned before, my sister is married to a black man. He would dislike this story, but that's because he thinks pornography is the bane of society. He's actually a fine guy; he just has a religious insight that sex is a personal thing that is not supposed to titillate strangers and lead children down the path to hell. I happen to know that his fully engorged cock is about the same size as my husband's and all the other husbands' of the girls on our volleyball team - but he doesn't know I know that, and so I can't discuss this story with him. Likewise, although my sister herself knows I am a pervert with a dirty mind, she doesn't know about alt.sex.stories; and so I can't discuss this story with her either. My impression is that stories that suggest that black men have "monster cocks" with which they are eager to "service" white women are often offensive to most black people and that they probably help perpetuate a stereotype that leads to divisiveness in our society. I have discussed the matter with the author of this story, and he insists that he and his friends have a "race fetish" and that he means no disrespect towards blacks. In fact, he treats black studs with great respect, and they certainly seem to like the activity they share with him and his wife. I myself will probably never seek a black stud, but that's largely because I have this thing called a wonderful relationship with my husband. I DO fantasize about black men (as well as white men); but I honestly think I'm dealing with their whole personalities. {Not to digress - but I used to have a fantasy that involved O. J. Simpson; but I got over it recently. Interesting "personality" there!} My own evaluation is that this story does NOT promote improper stereotypes. It's just a story about oversexed people who engage in impressive sexual activities. Sure the black guy has his brain in his cock; but so do the other characters - that's a compliment on this newsgroup. I'd like to hear what anyone else has to say. Ratings for "Debby's Dark Lust" Athena (technical quality): 9.5 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Ripping and Tearing" by Mr. B. (bhorvath@earthlink.net). The narrator's boyfriend looks like Steven Segal, except that he (the boyfriend, that is) has a 10-inch cock. They met while they were standing in line at the door of the bathroom at a fraternity party. (From what I hear, maybe that WAS Steven Segal!) When you say that a guy who has consumed maybe two gallons of beer and is standing outside a locked bathroom door "has that Steven Segal look," exactly what does that mean? What would Steven Segal look like when he's drunk and about to pee in his pants? Probably a lot like Peewee Herman under the same circumstances. But I digress. Back to the story! After lengthy preliminaries, Karen goes to Steve's house to pick up her books, so that she can study for finals. Another woman answers the door, wearing the nice shirt that Karen had given Steve. That does it! It's catfight time. Then it's ff sex time. Then it's threesome time. I thought the build-up was unnecessarily slow - too many absolutely nonessential details; but the actual sex scenes were very hot. Although I can see how it might be sexy, I have never been directly involved in a catfight. My favorite near-catfight experience occurred when I was called to school because my daughter had been in a fight. Witnesses said that another girl had accused my daughter of flirting with her boyfriend. Unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on your perspective - but certainly interestingly, my daughter is highly skilled in the martial (not marital) arts. The other girl wound up with a severely dislocated shoulder. The boyfriend tried to intervene, and it's unlikely that his severe bruises in a vital area permitted him to be sexually active for the rest of the week. The witnesses verified that my daughter had made only defensive moves. I think my story is interesting, but Mr. B's is probably sexier. The main sexual advantage for my daughter was that really weird people left her alone after that incident.
