Celestial Reviews 109 - August 17, 1996
Note: The people who write these stories do not get paid for doing so.
Their main motivations for writing these stories are (1) the inherent
pleasure that comes from writing a good story and (2) the feedback they
get from readers. Plus I guess the activity can improve their sex
lives. I strongly urge you to take the time to communicate with the
authors. You don’t have to have cybersex with them; just tell them
what you think of their stories. If you like a story, send a note to
the author and tell him/her what you thought of the story. If you do
this once a month or so, you’ll make the lonely recluses who write
these stories feel good, and you’ll increase the probability that we’ll
continue to see good stories on a.s.s.
Second Note: People are constantly asking me where to find the stories
I review. I do not have time to respond to that question individually.
All stories are posted on alt.sex.stories. In addition, here are the

If any of these are no longer current or if there are others I should
add, please contact me. I am interested only in free, non-commercial
sites. However, I’ll also plug the following organization; although
they charge for membership, they GIVE stories away to non-members. (I
suppose they hope you’ll eventually join.)
The BackDrop Club offers a service of helping people who are looking for a
specific file, story, or a chapter or section of a story. If you are an adult
and know the name of the file you wish to receive, send a request using the
following format:
TO: file.archives@backdrop.com
SUBJECT: (the name of the file you wish as a single word)
I HAVE used this service myself, and it is my opinion that it is NOT a
rip-off. If you need more information, contact robin@backdrop.com.
The BackDrop Club also has a Web Page at http://www.fantasies.com.
Finally, Deja News is a search engine available on the World Wide Web.
It is possible (without additional cost beyond your service that
accesses the Web) to find most of the stories I review by entering a
few key words into the search box. To expedite matters, I suggest
using “alt.sex.stories” as part of your search strategy. You’ll get a
short list of “hits,” one of which will include the story you are
looking for. You then click on the story’s brief title, and the whole
text pops up on your screen, where you can save it to disk - even if
your service does not give you access to the a.s.s. newsgroup. There
is a similar free service at http://www.reference.com.

“Justice" by Michael K. Smith (mksmith@metronet.com). When Susan was
twelve and just entering puberty, her father saw her naked one day and
came to her in bed that night. He told her that here mother no longer
took care of his needs and that he wanted Susan to help out. Then he
fucked her; and it hurt.
Her father had split neatly into two people in her life. There was her
Daddy, whom she loved, who dropped her off at the school bus stop and
helped her with her homework, and who did nice things with her. But
there was also the man who came at night whenever the two of them were
alone, and put part of his body inside her body. When he came, he
never struck her, or put the pillow over her face, or anything so
dramatic. They simply had sex. Both of these men said they loved her,
but she now understood that word to have two different meanings. And
neither man ever mentioned the other. It never occurred to Susan to say
anything about their relationship to her mother or to anyone else. She
simply got used to the visits and outwardly accepted them.
This is a very realistic description of typical pedophile activity. It
is not as enjoyable as the stories that describe “family fun” as a neat
way for children to grow up. I want to remind you that I have given
high ratings to well-written stories that present sex between adults
and children in a much more pleasant light than this one. I mention
that because I don’t want to sound overly moralistic in this review.
All I am saying is that I have known lots of children who were sexually
abused, and this story comes closer than any other I have seen to
describing the TYPICAL reaction of a child who is coerced into having
sex with her father. This story is not a turn-on - even though it does
have a “happy” ending; but I urge you to read it anyway. It’s one of
the best stories I have ever seen on this newsgroup.

“Trinity Trilogy Novel 6/14” by Tom Trinity (stbush@iglou.com). The
orgy picks up right where it left off in segment five last week. In
the first story in this week’s segment, Tom discovers that James Bond
was right in "You Only Live Twice." Oriental women do taste different.
Not unpleasant, just different. They also perform well in orgies.
Several years ago, one of my students wrote an essay on what he wanted
to be when he grew up. Because of my influence, he said, he intended
to become a satyrist - perhaps one of the greatest satyrists in all of
history. I often wonder what happened to that young man. The boy
meant satirist, of course; I don’t think I really influenced him toward
being a satyr, which literally refers to the critters in ancient myths
who chased nymphs. The term also refers to a dirty old (or young) man.
The term satyriasis is the male equivalent of nymphomania. I think
there is an outside chance that my former student is writing stories
under the name Tom Trinity.
Some people think that hedonists are into sex just for the good times.
Not true! Tom appears to be on call nearly 24 hours a day; and once
he has had sex with a person, he seems to be obligated to fuck her and
all her friends upon demand for the rest of his life. That’s an
awesome task, and it could be rough on little tommy.
Near the middle of this segment I was reminded of an old joke.
Q. What’s a coolie?
A. It’s a quickie in the snow.
This segment includes a coolie.

“Cheating in Flight” by Unknown Author. This is another story from the
THC Archives by an unnamed author. The guy has been on a long trip
with his anti-sexual wife. On the flight home, they have one first-
class seat, which the wife happily seizes. The kids get the two
remaining seats that are adjacent to each other, and the guy is stuck
separately in a seat next to a beautiful woman. Imagine that! Ten
fucking hours from Brisbane to Boston, isolated from your frigid wife,
with the kids asleep, and with nothing but a removable seat divider
between you and a beautiful woman whose greatest pleasure is having sex
in risky situations. In addition, it’s a bit chilly; and so it’s
necessary to cover up with a blanket. There is a God!

“Steve's Story” by Steve3925 (Steve3925@aol.com). This is a
marvelously well-written story. I could write a whole issue of
Celestial Reviews about this one story. Instead, I’ll try to focus as
concisely as possible on a few key ideas.
The story is about a 16-year-old boy who has testicular cancer and has
to undergo surgery. The narrative is written in the form of a diary;
and Steve’s daily entries show how his thoughts and emotions change as
a result of the operation and subsequent hormonal therapy. The story
gives the impression of sensitive, touching realism.
One potential problem with the story is the medical angle. This
surgery simply does NOT typically have effects like those described in
this story. To the author’s credit, he points this out repeatedly by
having the doctor say that this is an extremely unusual reaction.
Actually, it’s my opinion that it’s so unusual that it’s science
fiction. Reactions like this occur approximately as often as people
engage in time travel. The story IS realistic once we suspend our
disbelief enough to believe that the reaction described in the story is
possible and has occurred to Steve. On the other hand, there are
probably thousands of young men who undergo this kind of surgery every
year. The last thing they need is to be anxious that they are being
turned into a girl.
Let me repeat what I said in a previous issue about castration, which
is the surgical removal of one or both testicles of a male person or
animal in order to suppress the development or function of the sexual
glands. (In the present story the purpose is to destroy a cancerous
growth; the effects stated in the preceding sentence are side effects.)
Male farm animals are castrated, or gelded, in order to improve the
breed or make the animals more docile; house pets may be castrated to
keep them from wandering or producing unwanted offspring.
Nowadays castration may be performed on men with cancer of the prostate
or certain diseases of the testicles. If the operation is done after
puberty, it produces sterility but has little or no effect on secondary
sex characteristics. Hormonal treatments enable the castrated person
to function like a normal male (except that he is sterile, having
received the equivalent of a vasectomy). It WOULD be medically
possible to follow castration with a sex-change operation; but this
would require a separate, deliberate operation.
I’m certain that there are medical types out there in my audience. If
I have been inaccurate, please let me know. I won’t embarrass you.
I’ll just incorporate corrections into a future review when the author
reposts this story.
A second problem arises from the labeling of this story with the
“alphabet soup” that typically follows the title on the subject line.
This one was unlabeled. Dr. Bob, the author of the Story Codes FAQ,
argues convincingly that such labels are important, because they enable
readers to zero in on stories that they will like and to avoid topics
in which they are not interested. I respect Dr. Bob and do not intend
to denigrate his work. The problem is that it would be very difficult
and possibly counterproductive to label this story. Without using the
“alphabet soup,” I have labeled this as “emerging adolescence.” I
assume a correct Story Code for this story would be TG (for
transgender), because the protagonist essentially changes from a boy to
a girl during the story. The problem is that notifying the reader up
front that this is a TG story would possibly ruin the story’s impact.
As it is, we are able to discover the changes in the boy’s body and
emotions at about the same time he does; and I would hate to ruin that
by giving away the plot in the subject line.
As I have said, this is an excellent story. I encourage you to read
it; and I plan to look for other stories by this author.

“She Used to Be a Cheerleader” by Cathy (olimed@erols.com). Cathy was
the finest cheerleader and the sluttiest whore in the class of 1990 at
MacDonald High School. Now it’s 1996, and she’s applying for a job as
an English teacher at the very same school. And a damned good English
teacher she’ll be - even if the principal’s cock isn’t as big as she
remembered it to be. No problem. Cathy has the Big Picture in mind.
She’ll have five classes full of sexually peaking boys with cocks
tenting their jeans and girls with very tight pussies. This Higher
Mission makes it worth the small sacrifice of sucking Granger off every
once in awhile.
Currently the football team is in a slump. Nobody cares about winning.
Even the cheerleaders suck (but they don’t swallow). So Cathy takes
over the cheerleaders, and we know that soon the team will be spurting
toward a record season.
For reasons that are not quite clear, Cathy’s English class is held in
a classroom with mirrored ceilings. Nothing is made of this point,
even while she is fucking her former favorite teacher in that very
room; and this leads me to believe that there will be more chapters in
this epic saga.
As an English teacher who used to be a cheerleader myself, I would like
to point out that most of us are dull-witted people who do not ooze
cunt juices all day long. We screw our students mostly in the
metaphorical sense of flunking them when they don’t do their
assignments. Sad, isn’t it?
In general, this is one of those slut stories - kinda like “Bobbi Sue’s
Adventures,” where the heroine establishes her identity by becoming as
sleazy as possible with as many people as possible. This story has
some minor irritations - like accidentally changing the names of the
characters once in a while; but it is otherwise clearly written. If a
dose of slutty sex is what you’re looking for, you’ll enjoy this story.

“Woodland Frolics” by Unknown Author. This is an EBS repost with the
author’s name removed - which is a shame, because it’s a pretty good
story and I’d like to know who wrote it. Zoe and Sue decide to go off
to a secluded woodland area, where they know the men will be lonely and
horny and where they know they’re sure to get laid. It rains nearly
the whole time, and the men (referred to as blokes) don’t show up; so
they learn to play with each other. The ff sex gets pretty hot.

“Gully Washer” by Uther Pendragon (an569889@anon.penet.fi). “Lust is
only the present.” So says the author in this story. Lots of stories
posted with this newsgroup are about lust. This story also has a past;
and it’s about more than simple lust. As the man and woman make love
together while their children and grandchildren sleep in the house
during the rainstorm, memories of times past come into the man’s mind
and give additional meaning to their sexual activities. I like lust;
it makes the world go round. But love based on a common history sure
is nice too.
This is an imaginative story. You don’t think grandparents actually
get naked and do it with each other, do you? As I grow a little older
and can vaguely foresee the day when someone will ask my own
grandchildren that question, I hope my descendants will say, “Yep! And
I’ll bet she enjoys dirty stories too!”

“Woman of the Sword” by Mike Jones (mike.jones@circus.morse.net). I
needed a quickie before lunch. This one would do just fine - a 5K EBS
repost. It’s a vignette about a warrior princess masturbating after a
swim. It ends with her standing naked, sword in hand, preparing to
defend herself from attack. This could degenerate into a really stupid
sex-torture story, and the author has his verb tenses all screwed up.
But he has caught my attention. If Mike Jones has finished this story,
I’d certainly like to see it!

“Seduced by Judy” by JustMe (JustMe@aol.com). Wouldn’t it be neat if
you were an adolescent guy who was staying at his aunt’s house on Cape
Cod and got seduced by your sexy older cousin for one brief night of
blissful sex? I guess so; but my preceding sentence will turn you on
just about as much as this entire story. This story is not absolutely
awful; it just sounds like the half-formed rambling idea of a horny
adolescent - which is probably exactly what it is.

“The Reward” by na'Quaal (an659875@anon.penet.fi). This is an
extremely well-written PART of a non-existent story. A muscular virgin
man has saved a sex goddess (actually, just a sexy woman - I’m engaging
in hyperbole) from an automobile accident. She comes to reward him
with really hot sex. There’s not much here; but what IS here is
excellent. Just fill in the blanks with your imagination - or hope
that the author eventually puts this into a complete story and posts
it.

“Good Sport” by Plainman (an701930@anon.penet.fi). This “story”
consists of 18 brief “paragraphs.” No paragraph is more than five
lines long, and some are as short as five words. The story describes
the meeting, flirtation, and eventual sexual activity between a man and
a woman. The story leaves almost everything to the imagination; but
the short passages did a very good job of stimulating this reader’s
libidinous fantasy.
