SUMMARY: Mike and Nina play a variety of stripping games with their friends, Jack, Lee, Phyllis, and Doug.

COMMENTARY: This story is quite delicious, in my opinion. It is rather light in the "actual sex" department, but also rather heavy in the "exhibitionism" and "voyeurism" departments. This may turn some of you off. This may have biased me somewhat towards this story. Still, I have to believe that a story that can get me as aroused as this one did when for the most part the action consists of characters taking their clothes off in the course of a game, has to be much better than average.

There is one thing that struck me as a bit weird. The story is narrated by Mike, but there are moments when the author let's the reader know what the other characters are thinking. I don't think that this is a bad thing, but it caught me by surprise the first time it happened. There are also a few typographical errors, but considering the length of the story there are not that many percentage wise.

I feel obliged to mention that there is something in this story that made me wince when I read it. I am referring to the manner in which the main character sometimes characterizes the only non-white character in the story, Lee, who happens to be Korean American. It doesn't happen all that frequently. It makes Mike look rather naive. I can see how some people might read more into his comments than that, but I honestly don't think that Mike would knowingly think or say such things if he realized that some readers would find them offensive. In other words, I can find no evidence to indicate that Mike is anything other than uninformed.

One recommendation: should you decide to read this story, read it in three separate sittings. This should give you the opportunity to enjoy each part on its own. This is how I read the story and I think it was the right thing to do. Each of the three parts is a complete segment of the larger story.

Even though this story is narrated by a male character, I think that it should appeal to both men and women.
