Erotic Writing 102?

I’ve already shared two of the four “5 minute stories” that I wrote in Erotica Writing 101, but I skipped over two others. One was scrapped for being a poor idea. However, the other one was on the subject of the lovely lady that was sitting next to me (a.k.a. the real reason I got so shy). Over the last several weeks I’ve got to know her quite a bit better. I’ve attempted here to flesh out the modest paragraph I started the day we met.

She glides giddily toward the bed and bends over against it just as the hotel room door swings shut.

“You could have just told me what color they were.” I remark slyly.

She looks back at me over her shoulder and blushes.

My passion overtakes me, before she can rise I’m already beside her.

The first kiss lands softly on her neck. My hands dance across her soft shoulders and find their way into her long hair. I take a deep breath and inhale her sweet essence, smile into her deep eyes, and dive toward her lips. It satisfies me immensely to feel the goosebumps springing forth from the skin of her neck and shoulders as our lips meet.

I am overcome by the urge to explore her, from her wine-sweetened lips and tongue down to her sunkissed legs. Most of all I’m spellbound by how excited she is by my touch. I can feel her anticipation in every muscle I caress. Tightening, then slowly releasing. I want to calm, warm, and welcome her with every soothing stroke.

We contort our bodies so that our lips stay connected as we twist and recline on the bed. I close my eyes and see her the way I saw her for the first time less than a day ago.

Her long red hair was tied back. Her glasses and black skirt gave her a distinct “sexy librarian” look. When I saw her walking toward me my mind raced with things to say, but nothing came out. She began talking to me and my nervousness vanished as quickly as it appeared. We sat together and wrote together, but I found it extremely hard to concentrate on writing with this vision of beauty sitting so close to me that I could smell her.

That thought snaps me back to the present. That lovely redolence, like rose petals in a lavender bath, is strong even in this large room.

I take her glasses and mine and set them on the nightstand. I let our eyes meet again and she teases me with a kiss. I take her delicate wrist into my hand and force it onto the bed. Looking down at her body makes me marvel at the contrast from our original meeting.

Her hair is down now, flowing and airy. Her black blouse replaced by a corset cinched up so tight that I’m amazed she’s able to lay down at all without loosening or removing it.

She reaches up to kiss me and I allow her to have another taste. She tugs at my lip and squeezes it between her teeth. I break away from her lips momentarily and gaze down toward her breasts. She moves with grace and slips her free hand behind her back loosening her corset.

The corset slides down partially revealing a pinkish nipple surrounded my a mound of tempting light skin. My lips find her chin and then her neck. I’m drawn down her body by her luscious skin, but I dawdle at her neck kissing and biting. Savoring the little gasps she releases into my ear, and using them as a sort of sonar to detect just what arouses her the most.

Well, that’s a start. I have a feeling that I could spend a lot of time on this. But, the exciting conclusion will have to wait, for now.

Fetlife FAIL

Right when I was starting to think that Fetlife was a pretty awesome place the owner has come out of the closet, as a big asshole.

He asked a group on Fetlife if anyone wanted to be a “greeter” for the site. To be responsible for sending out an email or two to new users rather than a system generated message. We all know how much attention we pay to those.

Ellie, the outgoing and wonderful person she is, volunteered. The next day she received a message from the owner stating that he felt that there would be a conflict of interest between th duties of ambassador and the fact that she does phone sex. His exact phrase was “ethical dilemma”. He said that as the owner of the site he isn’t able to approach anyone on the site (??), and that if she messaged someone and they asked her to do a call with them she should turn them down.

I was reading through the (very funny) “Terms & Conditions” which has a 1% rule. According to John (the owner):

1% Of Your Action Belongs To Us

We have no clue how we are going to claim this but we want 1% of the action you are getting from this site. Yeah, you heard right. While we are working our asses off to grow FetLife you are getting action and we want 1% of it, damn it! We think it is only fair.

That could be taken any number of ways, but to me it sounds like he does want to dip into the honey pot.

Aside from all of that, he’s dealing with an active clientèle that is made up of regular users (with affiliate links right in their profiles), bloggers (with affiliate links on their linked pages), sex workers (pro doms, phone sex workers), and podcasters. The vast percentage of these users make *some* money by doing what they do. Isn’t it the dream of everyone to make money off of what they love? Is this akin to shitting where to live? No.

Does he think that Ellie is a predator, and that her only aim in an online community is to drag customers from it? Does he think that about everyone on the site, or just PSOs (phone sex operators) because he assumes that a PSO doesn’t enjoy her job or only does it for the money?

The fact is that Fetlife is a really good site right now. Most of the people on there are very friendly and open. We’re having good conversations and learning a lot about alternative lifestyles. Hopefully this was a case of him hitting send before thoroughly reading what he had written, and we can move forward from this having all gained a little knowledge from one another.

edit - Ellie received another email stating that the owner of the site had sent out similar requests/questions to other potential ambassadors. He also apologized that his original email could easily be interpreted negatively.

The future status of the seemingly hypocritical 1% Rule is still in question, though (if only by me and the lovely ladies that commented here).

Erotic Writing 101

Sex 2.0 opened my eyes to a number of positive things, but one negative that I was painfully aware of throughout Rachel Kramer Bussel’s “Erotic Writing 101″ session was that I have a hard time sharing my ideas when placed into a group setting.

Her class was fun, she told us about writing techniques and gave us story starters to work with and set us free in little 5 minute frenzies of writing. Afterwards she asked us to share. I wasn’t too happy with my first work, since about 3 minutes in I erased what I had and started over. By the time the second prompt was given I was in turtle mode. I got so embarrassed and shy that I hardly even looked around the room.

When she session ended I jetted out of the room. I had written a lot, but felt bad that I didn’t share any of my ideas. When we got home and I read them to Ellie, she thought they were wonderful so I decided I’d share 2 of them with you.

Prompt - “Write an erotic story using two sex toys.”

I slid my warm hands across the downy flesh of her stomach and let them rest on top of the thin lace ruffle of her panties. She wanted to do this for so long, but she was scared, and I wanted to make sure it was special.

I looked into her eyes and she nodded gently to me. She lifted her torso slightly and let me pull her panties off. I could smell her wetness in the air, soft and calming.

I quickly unwrapped a condom and asked, “the carrot or a cucumber?”

Prompt - “Write about something alien or unfamiliar to you.”

Standing in front of the window of my room, I peered at the person on the other side, she was as large as life and staring at me too. I don’t think she could see me but I’m sure that she could feel my presence.

She brushed her hand carelessly across her breast and sighed at me. I stared at her face trying to impose my will on her through the glass.

She reacted slowly at first, but after a moment she was shaking. I commanded her silently to undress. Her blouse flew off and she wrestled with the clasp of her bra. A bead of sweat rolled across her forehead as her bra hit the floor revealing my hairy chest and tiny nipples.

Geek Confidence

Sex 2.0 worked for me!

I learned/solidified so many ideas during Sex 2.0 this weekend.

1.) I can break out of the mold that I created for myself of *only* writing erotica.

2.) Sometimes you need someone to tell you that they like what you do to kick-start your creative juices and help you break into new territory.

3.) Ellie is the most amazing girl in the world, and I’m so lucky to be her partner.

4.) FurryGirl, despite her shyness, is as intoxicatingly intelligent as she is aesthetically pleasing.

5.) There are far more people in the world doing sex-positive work than I was previously aware.

6.) The atmosphere of sexuality at the conference and the after-party (at least among the Sex 2.0 attendees) was pleasant, fun, and relaxing.

7.) Even extremely attractive men and women (holy crap WAY too many to mention) can be fantastically accepting of people like Ellie and I with less than perfect bodies.

This conference left me with such positive feelings about the future of sexual activism and humanity in general.

This post is only indirectly about sex.. feel free to skip over it :) - part 2

I know how long it’s been..

Ellie and I are having the time of our lives together. I love her more than words (although I love trying to find the right ones anyway.)

Our sex life has been wonderful together and we have had so many new experiences that it’s hard to find a place to start. So, to make sure I get off on the right foot I’m just going to give a quick update.

Many of the friendships and relationships that we’ve been involved in over the last several months have grown, changed, or fallen apart for various reasons. We’ve made a lot of new friends that I’ll introduce as it becomes appropriate.

We had a bad experience which was entirely my fault from late December until the middle of January. I was seeing a girl that wasn’t respectful of my relationship with Ellie and I was very slow to break it off. This provoked a lot of jealous feelings and frustration. By the end of January we were back on track with our relationship.

Near the beginning of March I began hanging out with Lily. We have a relationship based on hanging out, making out, and playing Guitar Hero. Ellie and Lily get along pretty well and have a decent amount in common. I’m still looking forward to the day I’ll be involved in a FMF threesome; it would be a nice start to see them making out.

We hang out with Sylvia on a pretty regular basis and enjoy her company. She’s in the midst of a grand personal experiment right now and we’re happy to be in her support group.

I have a hundred stories rampaging through my head, waiting to spill out onto the screen. However, we have a vacation coming up tomorrow that I must get ready for. So, I’ll be saving them until I get some free time back at home to share with all of you.

Thank you for your patience and kind words of encouragement.

This post is only indirectly about sex.. feel free to skip over it :) - part 1

Over the last few weeks Ellie and I have truly been experimenting with Polyamory. It is a fact that our relationship, from the start, was “open”, but until very recently we had not ventured outside of “casual sex” territory.

Our first casual sex experience was with a local friend. It was a first for both of us to have a threesome. He was an average build man with a nice body, more athletic than us. Ellie was the center of attention that night.

After many hours of sex, when we were all worn out, we moved (mostly naked) to the living room to play Mario Cart for an hour or so before we called it a night.

The next threesome was similar, Ellie was again the center of attention, but this time I mostly sat it out and watched them fuck. Ellie liked the intimacy this provided and had an easier time getting off.

A few months later Ellie and I made separate dates. I made a date with a girl, Brigid. We got to engage in a lot of the dating rituals, although they were compacted due to time constraints. We held hands and had a lot of physical contact before moving on to making out (which we did for a few hours).

Ellie’s date was mentioned on her site, and the details will not be repeated here.

After all of this we knew that we were comfortable enough with the situation between us to move on to dating other people. Even after this realization it took a number of months for us to start.

Recently, I have been dating three women, but until I become better acquainted with them they will remain nameless.

Ellie has been seeing a like number of men, and has mentioned that she would love to write about them sometime (when the inspiration strikes, one would guess).

That is just a synopsis of the myriad of baby-steps we took to come to the point that we are at now. Our relationship is stronger than ever, we are very much in love with one another, and the energy that these relationships are bringing into our domain is extraordinary.

Expect to hear more from both of us about these relationships as time passes. We are certainly looking forward to the coming adventures.
