No, for me. But none of mine are originals. I just replay stories I've read from NF's books or other sources that are favorites of mine.

You might or might not like NF's analyses and comments, but the hundreds of private fantasies and pieces of sexual history in that book are way worth the money.

Ah, well: it's cheap, harmless and -- probably -- good for the brain. Can someone in a white coat confirm this for me, please?

I do enjoy reading them but as far as mine go it has always made for some very interesting pillow talk with Mrs. RT. The discussions that work out the details of making them come true (her's as well ) generally keep us both hornier than hell.

When steps are taken by either of us to make them a reality then it just kicks things up a notch.

At that point it isn't a specific fantasy anymore but rather a variety of different scenarios that we come up with developing out of it. The fun part is seeing which direction things go from the baseline that we established. Some of the most memorable ones have come from a completely different direction (others involved haven't stuck to the script... ).

I think that, as much as anything, what intrigues me about finding out is that masturbation usually has a prettty limited array of 'furniture' around it to help it along: there's imagination/memory, porn, toys, and maybe one or two other things such as putting on certain music. And yet the (to me) obviousness of writing it all down for your own pleasure seems a very easy and intuitive aid to masturbation. Given that most of us probably have much the same set of opportunities and resources when it comes to masturbating, I wonder whether others pick up a pen sometimes too. After all it doesn't really involve any complications or perils of being compromised in some way.

Hope that isn't repeating myself: just clarifying why I asked.

Of course if you had submitted those stories somewhere you could always claim "See, I'm trying to be a writer...."

I'm not trying to discourage you (on the contrary, good erotica is scarce. If you've got the talent, make the most of it). You just need to look at it from the angle of your spouse. In my case we both make up stories for the other's pleasure & screw like rabbits when we can do anything to make parts of the stories come true (even if it is completely innocent to the third party, we know what that comment to them meant....).

If your relationship isn't strong enough to handle the eventual exposure of these stories, it may be better to keep them as mental fantasies rather than written ones*.

(hopefully enough that others don't recognize themselves... (we really need a rolling eyes smilie here))

So, again: it's a moment-to-moment experience for me, the writing, not something I keep and look back at proudly/furtively later.

Thanks for the comments and concern. For me, the writing's just a discreet and personal part of the whole sex-life jigsaw, like ephemeral jamming by a musician that doesn't actually get recorded. DOes that make sense?

The trick is to convince them to spend $19.95/month to listen to your ramblings... To separate the wheat from the chaff is the job of your editor is it not? Make him actually earn his money for a change by wading through the drivel to find a good story (again, I'm going off the assumption that you actually know what you are doing...)

Trust me if it commercially viable, he'll let you know....

As for destroying them, why not just join a forum, pick a name, say, I don't know, skargarden2 for instance, and see if anyone else likes them. One of the beauties of the internet is anonymity. That forum might even have a place to post such things, but I digress.

Writing things out is also a bit of a cleaner of sorts, for me anyway. If I have something just banging around in my head, shutup Pagoda, writing it down and expressing it on paper or on the computer is a way of transferring the thoughts from my mind. Because God knows, that's nowhere to keep anything important. Once there's a hard copy, ugh, that just slipped out, I swear, it will, not leave my mind, but not be at the forefront screaming, "look at me, look at me, talk about me and I'll fucking go away!"

Its also good exercise for me because mine comes out as poetry. Much harder to express. I think it was all those times I was hit in the head playing football without a helmet, but you never know.

But back to topic, I, of course, encourage you to write these out. If for nothing else than your own mental exercise. Maybe share some of them with the rest of us.

And what you said about getting stuff out of your head prompts me to develop a point that we touched on yesterday:
RT was right to caution about having one's work discovered and interpreted as memories by, say, a partner. But aside from that, the half-hour (or whatever) of actually articulating on paper what's in your head is the best of several worlds not just because it's easy, cheap, etc., but because even if you tear it all straight up you have turned your thoughts into a common, shared currency, i.e., language. That can be not only therapeutic but also, I reckon, exciting and liberating for some people. The choosing and stringing together of the words *is* much of the thrill. Similar to the kind of pillow talk RT (sorry to keep referencing you!!) was talking about.

Other areas of the jigsaw I talked about are shared, have no fear . But the simple practice of turning fantasy into prose or verse even when by oneself has a nice little tension/release to it.
