National Poetry Day

A little bird (OK, a hunky big bloke - yum) has reminded me that it's National Poetry Day. Here is a celebratory recording by Kingswoman: Tennyson's Now sleeps the crimson petal. It's more romantic than erotic, in fact Romantic - high Romantic writing of the Victorian era. Like a lot of Tennyson's poetry though, there is heavily sexual symbolism for the delicate ladies to blush over.

The poem comes from a 'verse medley' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson called The Princess. This is an odd story, it starts with a group of young people who are inspired to tell each other a verse drama about a heroic Prince. Young Lilia, the daughter of the house, challenges the young men to it: 
I wish I were
Some mighty poetess, I would shame you then, 
That love to keep us children! 

They compose a poem about a great Princess who separates herself from the world in order to pursue learning. But it only leads to 'tears idle tears', gurllllzzzzz (wink - that famous poem is also part of The Princess medley). A Prince falls in love with her, and when she rejects his suit, a terrible battle ensues, her brothers and various assorted hunky Princes are all dreadfully wounded, then finally she agrees to be a good wife and mother instead. 

LOL, it's all very Victorian. Nothing like that could happen today OF COURSE! (wink). 

I am always struck by the way Lilia and Ida (the Princess) are depicted as attractive and charming because of their wit and intelligence, how Tennyson shows their frustration at not being allowed to develop their thoughts ("you ... that love to keep us children"), but in the end this is not the Victorian way - love means never having to think any more, apparently. 

Catullus - Ode to Lesbia

I recently thought about reviewing some classic erotic literature. Unlikely as it seems, there is some pretty spicy writing in texts that get put on college reading lists.

A Classical Classic seems like an excellent starting place. Here is Kingswoman reading the Latin poet Catullus's poem to his mistress, Lesbia. As this is proper classic published smut, Kingswoman has been able to upload it onto Soundcloud, where she has a collection of poetry readings rather different to the material she performs on Literotica.

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.

Hurry Home!

In this first of my latest set of audio reviews I'm checking out a story posted on Gone Wild Audio. I feel a kind of midwifely pride in it, as when a writer came on the Authors Hangout on Literotica asking how to find someone to record his story, I told him about Gone Wild. He successfully posted his story there, and got three readings of it, which is pretty cool.

This is a hardcore FemDom story. Frankly if I wanted to find a textbook example of how far you can go and still be having safe sex, I couldn't have commissioned a better one!

Audio Smut

From Vectorstock

It happens that a lot of the material I'm looking at right now is audio, so I thought I would just go with that and focus on audio smut for the next few blogposts. 

There's a proliferation of smutty short stories online. Maybe Roland Barthes was wrong when he proclaimed 'the death of the author'. However, the playful interaction between listener and writer on audio stories reveals what Barthes meant by this provocative statement.

Barthes intended to show us how the author does not have ultimate control of the text. Each reader brings their own understanding to a story, and Barthes argued that the reader was more the 'author' than the person writing a story. Audio stories seem to offer a step on for that interactive poststructuralist way of creating fiction. 

Perfect

From thegeekiary.com

This story voiced by TheRavenFox is at the top of the Hall of Fame audio stories on Literotica and I can see just why. TheRavenFox is a consummate professional and her audio tracks are in a class above much of what's available on what is an amateur site. We are jolly lucky that she likes recording so much she is willing to put up free tracks on Literotica and also Reddit's Gone Wild Audio. It's not just the title of this story that is 'perfect'! 

This particular story was written by Steady and posted on Gone Wild. Originally it was an M4F story but TheRavenFox naughtily asked if she could voice it, and when Steady offered to re-write it as F4M, she said she wanted an F4F. I have personally long recognised the erotic potential of Loki, the prospect of a female Loki seemed totally delicious! and so it proved to be .... 

Oooooh-eeee! Halloween

(X)
Yes, it's time to get out the broomstick and the cauldron full of chocolate skulls. The Literotica Halloween competition is nigh, up and running with delicious shivers on offer. Last year I reviewed some hot chocolate with marshmallow numbers, in my Trick and Treat discussion of stories by two luscious ladies: MagicaPractica and SheaBlue, and I also had an eerie gothic lesbian romance from Bramblethorn.

I am kicking off this year with a Dire Warning. Bramblethorn's entry this year features sex so unsafe it will put you off forever! Mwahahaha! LOL. Red Callum, Sweet Cate is an erotic horror poem - Bramblethorn deserves a boost for even thinking to enter such a thing. The poem is expertly voiced by Kingswoman, who has the ideal accent for a creepy Halloween story-poem, and this is a very funny and horrible piece which has successfully squicked a few people out already. So just remember in future, take a condom with you down into the crypt! or suffer the consequences, ooooo-eeeee-oooooooo (and that's just the Braxton Hicks contractions) LOL. 

More Halloween creepy story reviews on the Tarot cards (hint hint, guess who else has stories in the pack, MST-ease). 

Sexy Summer Sounds - In Your Afterglow

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Sexy Summer Sounds - A Walk in the Park

(XXX) 
Scorchio! as the Fast Show weather girl used to say. Don't burn your fingers on the latest from Kingswoman and Charlie the W@*king W@*ker - or any other body parts.

Jenny takes A Walk in the Park, to air her enormous boobs, and finds an unexpected friend in the public toilets. "I don't think there's a straight man alive who would make it through the toilet scene without exploding," gushes one fan.

This is another X-rated boyzzzone story from Kingswoman and Charlie. I have known a lesbian or two (wink) but never one who behaved like Jenny and Karen! Women have secretly confided to me that they enjoyed this exceptionally dirty story; mostly though it's a Carry On Wanking ... I mean Walking for men. LOL. 

As a bonne bouche ... er, as it were (<snerk>), try the spoof article on a flasher who gets a business award, illustrated by this delightful pic in the St Helens celebrity news.

Sexy Summer Sounds - A Hot Summer's Night

From Layoutsparks

(X)
It's Summer Lovin' Competition time on Literotica and there are one or two sultry audios in the sunshine set so I thought I would do some sexy Summer Stories that breathe a warm glow into your ... over your ... well, anyway, here are some hot Text with Audio stories. 

No. 1 is TXRad's A Hot Summer Night. This is a sweet teaser with a little sting in the tail - tantalising back story is delicately hinted at right at the end. 

It's late at night, and Lucy is feeling hot ... in a number of ways. I sure am a fan of how she manages to get off! Off to sleep, to sleep! She finds a great way to relax and slip away to slumberland. 

The familiar sultry tones of a 'great lady' are also available to read this story for Mr. Rad. Kingswoman has come on this blog before. As it were, *cough cough* ;) 

Nude Day Naughties

(X, XX and XXX)
Nudism is a proper way of life, which is about respect for your body and a love of letting it all hang easy in the breezes. Nudists say there is nothing particularly sexy about it. Once you get used to going around in the buff, seeing other people's dangly and bobbly bits, you just aren't that bothered about it.

However ... what a great premise for some naughty sexy stories about naughty nude carryings-on! There is of course a Nude Day story competition on the Literotica short story website. It's going on even as I type, and you can get on there and pick up a whole range of stories, vote on them and see if your favourite won in the end. Some of them are a bit cheat-y, not really about nudism although they are jolly sexy li'l numbers, which is what counts.

I have been on and saved you the trouble, picking up a few items which I popped in my basket and I ran back here to show them to you. We can imagine we are in the cafe, having a lovely cup of tea and showing each other our ... shopping (wink). That's what gurrlzz do - we go shopping and then we like to go somewhere we can unpack it all and admire it. It's a pretty mixed bag of goods I've got here, cuz a competition throws up a real variety of stories. Give 'em a go and see which one is your size (wink).

A Juicy Peach Cumming - review

(X)

Sometimes it can all get a bit much and we just have to rush off for some solo pleasure. In this little audio clip, Juicy_Peach can't wait for her lover to get back and assist her. She's not the only one who finds her own pleasuring exciting, as you can see from the comments. Masturbation is exciting to imagine/watch as well as fun for the person doing it. 

Big Tits Sex Therapist - review

(XX)
Well, boys will be boys, LOL, and this is one for the lads. Charlie the Wanking Wanker no doubt took part in some eponymous activity while writing this hotty.

(I am going to review a couple of audio stories in this and the next post. There are lots of voiced stories on the internet, some of which are proper stories - like this one, and some of which are more ... descriptive action clips as it were, like my next review of Juicy Peach cumming.)
