The Danish Girl

(In this guest post, Literotica author stickygirl gives us her thoughts on the recently released film: The Danish Girl.) 

From the perspective of a transgender woman as well a cinema-goer, I was impatient, if apprehensive, to see this film. It seems to have had such a long run of reviews these past months before its official release in the UK on 1^st January.

Her Secret Confessions Parts 1 and 2

Kawasaki Ninja featured 
on CrotchRocket.com.

Here we have two hot little quickies, the first of which features a hot red motorbike, a hot man and a young woman who is a little shy about admitting how much she is into the hotness of hot things. The second gives us more action from the hot hot pair.

The anxieties of the central character are well portrayed in these purportedly biographical pieces. As young women, we are heavily schooled into concern about our sexuality. On the one hand, we are given the impression that the world is full of naughty men waiting to pounce on us out of the undergrowth and slaver all over us. Plus, we are made to feel it's of the foremost importance to be closer to 'virgin' on the social spectrum than 'whore'; I mean actually more important than scoring a Nobel Prize with our school science project.

The predicament of a young woman who feels turned on by a hot man is a well drawn backdrop in these stories.

Summertime Sex Ed

This isn't going to be a lecture from me about how poor sex education is in schools. It's a review of a story that has a sex education session the likes of which I'm sure we all wished we had had.

Beat-Off Buddies

"Fishnet Stockings" polish 
as reviewed on HerCampus.

One of the things I like about this story by Carnevil9, is how it immediately leaps into the sex. We are straight in the action, then there is an asterism (new word I learnt this week! meaning row of asterisks) and then we get good back story.

An Anal Fantasy for You

It's not hard to guess what Rimminglover is into, LOL. 

In this tender appeal, he spells out his passion for arse. If you were wondering how to go about anal sex, here is a poetic way to find out. Rimminglover writes about what he would like to do to his lover and lingers in detail on how he would go about fingering and fucking her.

Mouse's Maiden Voyage

Craig Revel Horwood - notorious for
harsh one-liner critique

In this blogpost, curl4ever and I are going to collaborate on tearing apart ... reviewing (wink) a story by Gorza. In his innocence, curl wrote: I'm very happy to contribute to Naoko's blog again.  In order to make it happen, she offered to "collaborate" which I take to mean that I get to write the easy parts and she gets to write the rest. - curl.

Darcy Bussell - brilliant insights
delivered with kindness.

Actually what "collaborate" means is that we are going to be like the judges on the British Strictly Come Dancing show: Darcy Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood. Craig is the one whom the audience start booing as soon as he opens his mouth. Darcy picks up the pieces of the weeping dancers and makes them feel better after Craig has shot them down with a bullet point list of all their faults. curl, naturally, is going to be Darcy while I will play the part of the Bitch of Strictness <snerk>.

curl: I am very excited to introduce you to an exceptional new author on Literotica, Gorza.  I've loved both of his first two stories. Today I want to direct you to Mouse's Maiden Voyage.

Naoko: Yes, yes darling, but his footwork, and that habit of dropping the shoulders. You must keep the topline ... oh sorry, wrong script.

Using a wheelchair

OK! I ended up writing a ve-ery long review here so if you are just hoping to find a hot story go straight to electricblue66's magnificent Rope and Veil. Another excellent story I'm going to discuss is Tribad's Alice's Curiosity but I can't give a link to it as there is naughty unsafe sex in it! :eeek!: (It's on Literotica. Just google, dahlink.) Plus, I will talk about my own story which has a wheelchair user as a central character: The de Winter's Tale. 

Yayyy! Go and read, vote - and give feedback. I know I need to edit my own story, so I am really keen for feedback. 

NB I have previously reviewed electricblue66's art here. The pictures he mentions in his story are on his Tumblr blog. Sorry about the quick lecture I put in at the start of this review - back to flirting soon, I promise. For those who want to think about writing in a more responsible manner ... 

Anna's Milk Ch. 03

I previously reviewed the first two chapters of Anna's Milk and have finally got round to the third chapter in this series. This one is even better than the two previous chapters and that's saying something. 

Having said that, there are some really irritating typographical errors. FFS! Get a copy editor already. I can't bear that reading something so good should be spoilt by such an easily fixed problem. 

This seems like a good place to make a small remark about editing. There are two kinds: 

• copy editing - cleaning up minor typos and grammatical errors. (Or mistakes like writing 'Anna' when you meant 'Moira'.) 
• beta reading - someone goes through your story for you and advises you that huge chunks have to be edited out (*sobs*) because they are just a distraction from the main story arc, or that huge chunks have to be rewritten with more descriptive detail, or that the main character is a sadistic basturd not a Dom and you should consider counselling not becoming an author. 

Both kinds are good. People love to tell other people how to do stuff, so don't hesitate to ask for someone to give your story the once-over - either just to copy edit, or to give it a real overhaul. That's if you are a serious author, of course. If you are just in denial about needing counselling, carry on.

Now, back to Anna's Milk. 

Earth, wind and fire - this story has got it all, and a great horn section (wink). 

Nude Day Erotic Story Contest

The Nude Day contest is currently running on Literotica, and I am panting away here. Um ... I just mean I'm rushing to get in a review of some of the stories in time to encourage you to go and vote on them. Gah, it can get quite hot reviewing all these stories but someone has to do this hard job (wink). 

Everyone posts on Literotica for free, so give them something back in the way of an honest vote - and comments. Authors on Literotica highly value thoughtful comments so do take the time to let them know what you think about their competition entries.

As a rule, better stories go into the contests because the authors who enter are ones who regularly go on Literotica and are serious about their writing. It's well worth having a look, checking titles and links and seeing if there are stories on there you think you will enjoy. (Pssst, link to the complete list here!)

Hot and Hairy

Artist Madison Mcclain

These two stories about body hair which celebrate women's natural beauty have been written at the same time as the recent phenomenon 'bedazzling'.

Hot Summer Reads

If you want to guarantee that you will have a sizzling summer regardless of the weather, pick up a copy of Hot Summer Reads. Some of the best names on Literotica have clubbed together here to offer you stories ranging from the gently mature (Steve Williams) to the wildly playful (TT Tales). Hetero, gay, bi and lesbian stories; BDSM, mature, first love, science fiction, crime drama, it's all here laid out for the teasing ... I mean reading! 

@ $2.99 this is a total bargain, and even more, will offer you a gateway into the writing worlds of these ten authors. You couldn't ask for a better introduction to the best of the proliferation of prose available at Literotica. If you want to try out a sexy story but are anxious that you may bite off more than you can chew (unlike the women in The Hole In The Basement Wall LOL!), check out these tales and follow up the writers you like. 

Not all of these stories are safe sex. By rights I can only review two, but I am going to sneak in a third one. Yes! for only the third time on here I am going to break my safe sex rule because one of these stories is that good. Oh, and I will give an honourable mention to a fourth because it's mostly safe sex.

Fuck Me Ray Bradbury

Geek girls go! This is one for geek girls and all the geek-y boys who love geek girls. 

Hysterical Literature

This isn't strictly audio erotica, it's video art. However I shall slip it into the collection, as it consists of women reading aloud.

Not women reading erotic literature - necessarily. Each woman reads her own choice of book, while sitting at a table. Meanwhile, a Hitachi vibrator slowly disrupts her reading with pleasure until she comes to orgasm. 

OK, before I get into the art-y fart-y bit, let me assure you, it's erotically exciting to watch the women. The tension mounts as they start to stutter and lose control, and you can't help laughing with them as they finally explode into inarticulate joyous orgasm.

All That Jazz - First Time

From DHGate

I totally disagree with one grumpy commentator on this story, who complained that the music in the background is "annoying and distracting". I am with two musicians who said the addition of the music is "a touch of genius". The music is an integral part of the story, and of the action; a pleasure to hear in itself.

Here's my second in this set of audio reviews, this time I'm looking at another perfect (ho ho) story by that consumate professional: TheRavenFox. Perfect - review here, was written by a participant on Gone Wild Audio. This story was written by TheRavenFox herself and is up on Literotica.

From TheLingerieAddict

This is a teacher/student story; delicately handled. TheRavenFox is, as I've said, a consumate professional. While playing with this popular erotic scenario, she establishes firm ethical grounds: all participants are over 18, and the student - of love as well as music - is about to leave Miss London's tender tutorial care to go to college. Consent is carefully made clear. Devyn admits almost as soon as she appears in the story that she is in love with Miss London, Miss London has inner dialogue worrying about how inappropriate it would be to express her feelings for her (soon-to-be former) pupil. Miss London makes the first move - as befits the more experienced woman. However Devyn repeatedly asks for more, explicitly begging for Miss London to make love to her.

White Scut - review

Rabbit Netsuke from auction

OMG!!! and in other words of commentators on this story: "Seriously Weird", "LMFAO ... I can't see past the tears from crying with laughter to type."

I adore this little gem of a story, this bizarre erotic horror tale by that Master of the Art: Oggbashan. It makes me want to go 'tee hee hee!' with my hand over my mouth (which is how Japanese people laugh, as it's uncouth to show your open mouth in Japan). This tiny twisted intense tale truly is horrible and erotic, it's like a netsuke. It's Japanese in its sexy weirdness, the exquisite writing in perfect contrast to the grotesque story, like the delicate lines in Shunga (Japanese erotic art).

As spring sprungs all around, remind yourself why April is called 'the cruellest month' by reading White Scut. Not for the faint-hearted!

Return to Reviewing!

Well dahlinks, I have been away doing Things, and now I am back. I have got my pockets absolutely stuffed to bursting with stories I want to review. I hope you will forgive me if I start off with one of my own. 

I started this novel oh ... about forty years ago? In that time it has been through any number of edits and re-writes. I never lost my fondness for it, and have often turned to reading it for fun during more trying times myself. Now I'm putting it up free on Literotica in hopes of some good feedback. 

It's very exciting to get good scores on Literotica (I'm talking the ratings here!), however it means something special when you get comments. Then you find out how your readers took your story, whether they were drawn in by it or what it was that didn't quite work for them. Get your fingers tapping; let us writers know what you thought!

My novel is a swashbuckling bodice-ripper with lots of tossing of lace cuffs, sneering by candlelight and heaving of passionate silk-clad bosoms. I'm looking for feedback from the fantasy romance crowd - you know who you are. If you like a bit of swash to your buckle and flirting over a fan-tasy, check out my tale of derring-do: A Match for the el Maiens, and let me know what you think.

When Commander-Lord Vadya el Gaiel van H’las' father proposes a match, he knows it must be political. The most likely candidate is the enigmatic Lady Anastelle el Maien van Sietter. Vadya's father hopes she is a modest maiden living quietly with the famously chaste Lady Arianna el Jien van Sietter, Lady wife to Commander-Lord Clair el Maien. But why is Vadya's Captain, Tashka Maien, so sensitive about her honour? And what keeps the Lady Arianna, fair as a candle flame, in the el Maiens’ rambling old castle home full of dark secrets?

Soul Service Inc.

From WowCondoms

(XX)
Well ... now for something completely different! CQTRose develops the Halloween theme in a hilarious spoof with a science fiction setting. The alien viewpoint is a great way to make us see our world in new ways, and offers plentiful opportunity for funny misunderstandings. 

This story obviously has so much more coming (ho ho!). Surely these great characters with their well depicted world are not going to have just one story to their names? Please let Rose and Sweetie ride again! LOL.Can they come (ho ho) back for Christmas? They are surely on my list to Santa.

Sarah's Stallion

(XX)
This First Time novella about a young woman and a young man has several comments saying affectionately that it reminds them of their real life first time. The four chapters cover a wide range of activities as Sarah and the central protagonist Steve tentatively explore sex. There's lots and lots and LOTS of good information about sex, always in the context of a fun story.

I hesitated whether to label this a romance. It is a lovely sweet story, however the realistic detail is excellent, there is no air-brushing over the practical matters incorporated smoothly as part of the action - all those things you really worry about when you are thinking about sharing your body for the first time. Not just condoms but periods and whether your hymen is still intact, are discussed as natural parts of the story. There are excellent descriptions of Steve's and Sarah's intimate parts, which the two explore shyly, excitedly and with love.

(BTW, if you are a girl who was obsesseed with horses as a teen, this one is for you! as the stallion of the title is not in fact Steve, it's Sarah's horse Pegasus. Privates1stclass provides good background detail about horses and riding as well as on sex, LOL.)
