All Comments on 'Culture Shock'

Definitely a story that I would like to hear more of ;) Gary is quite the in-depth teacher, and this gives me a much clearer insight into something I've known for a long time - I am very much a sub.

Thank you for this :)

If I could....I would give this story 10 stars !! Very well writtten...I'm glad you gave a warning about what the ending would NOT be......I'm sure many readers are disappointed; I think your plan....to leave the ending in the reader's mind works best. GOOD JOB!!.....Sir

You should write an ending to this story... A nice yummy ending. :P

I only wish castlerealm was still an active website for curious people to gather information. This story was wonderful for opening my eyes. thank you for writing a story to give the facts in a fun way of learning. i am forever in your debt!

At the first mention I immediately went to CastleRealm, but unfortunately it was closed down. This story is as much a work of fiction as it is an academic dissertation into a world which many of the 'vanilla' will never get to see.

And this story was what gave me the courage to seek out the world that I know I've been missing for my entire life.

I want to say that this is the best piece I have had a chance to read. BRAVO! You make me wish that I could meet my own "Gary".

In regards to CastleRealm...... Here is the link to some of the archives that are still out there for the reading.

I felt like you were reading my mind at times... This story was informative and interesting, but also very sexy. I almost creamed myself reading it...

What a lovely journey, I Thank You.

I read 36 pages of this amazing story waiting for her to get fucked and U LEAVE US HANGING BASTARD. But the leading up is amazingggg

I really loved your story. Almost all the experiences she has up to meeting MasterServant in that chatbox are more or less familiar to me and I love the way you put them to words.

U have totally change what i thought bdsm was.Damn i wanna be a sub,that was so fucking hot!! Great story!!

Amazing writing, very realistic. It had me reliving my experience from 7 years ago when I first met my Dom online and carefully proceeded to real life.

No need to say more :)

I've browsed literotica for years, reading many many stories, and I have to say that this is THE BEST STORY I'VE EVER READ!!!!

Keep up the godly work, Sir Nathan

I have read 36 chapters to find out that you stop here?!!! Biggest tease ever but an amazing!

Truly wonderful writing. I feel like this could be a journey of my own, in the near future. As I read along with 'Elaine' discovering this new world and becoming a part of it, with support, love and discipline from 'Gary', it made me realize that I'm not weird - I'm different. Suddenly the feelings, physically and emotionally, that I've been experiencing over the past couple of years don't seem so.. abnormal; I've started accepting myself more. If I could thank you for real, Sir_Nathan, you've evoked a change in me that I want to continue to explore for the rest of my life.

A beginning Dom myself, I felt really moved at the reading of this story. It gave me an indepth description of BDSM that I had never found anywhere else before, and I would really like to thank you, Nathan, for having written such a powerful, thought-inducing, inspiring story. I have already begun sharing with friends of mine who are also into this lifestyle, or, as I am, beginning their own path into it. From the deepest of my heart, thank you for this story. You'll help a lot of people have a better understanding, and this is simply marvelous. ~~ A Dom learner in France.

A wonderful and beautifully written story. You have really opened my eyes to the depth and complexity of the lifestyle. Your words have offered great comfort, i thank you kindly sir.

omg no you cant stop like this!!!! pure torture!!!

Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Beautiful, touching, exhilarating...perfect.

This story truly touched me. i have always been curious about the lifestyle, but i feel that this story truly put words to everything i have ever wanted to explore and helped me discover more about my true desires and needs. i cried at the end and i now feel confident having my husband read this story so that maybe he can better understand the needs that i have been struggling to articulate to him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

For once, a story about submission that understands it is willing and not degrading.

I absolutely adored this story! It is by far, hands down, my favorite story that I have come across in 4 years of reading literotica. Good show my man. However... I would LOVE to see how their story continues. And I hope you don't mind, but I took a few lines out of your story to add to my favorite quotes (and you're darn right I'm making sure people know you wrote it. ) :D

Kudos to you.

The conversation about relationship dynamics in this story rises above and beyond just the BDSM lifestyle. It's about how to build a healthy, satisfying relationship! For me, someone very new to this arena, it was an extremely provacative education, good enough to make me less nervous and more prone to engage in the careful actions that will ensure that my first experiences aren't disappointing. And, fuck, did it make me wet! Thank you, Sir. ;)

So desperately want to read more! please!

ITS OVER!? WHAT! COME ONNNNNNNNNNN! I WANT MORE

I this was the best story i have read on here so far, it was absolutely amazing and i cant believe it ended like it did, you have to write more please!! :)

I literally fell in love with Gary. When they met for the first time, I had the most intense butterflies in my stomach. I was even more nervous than Elaine, lol. Everything was unnervingly real. I read the entire thing in one sitting. I could feel Gary sitting right in front of me, as if I were Elaine, and I was so extremely anxious to please him. I only wish that there might have been at least a LITTLE release at the end...maybe on the hood of a car... ;) and that Elaine would be a little more confident. I suppose that's it though, the charm of her innocence. Very well written, lots of detailed description, has everything an erotic tale needs in it. I loved it <3

Over the past couple of years I have begun to understand the nature of the D/s relationship. Your story enables the reader to sense the bond and connection that develops naturally in two people that recognise each other. D/s is really just another way of giving and receiving love. Thank you Sir_Nathan you succeeded in making it real.

After reading this, I can say that I am a sub.

I was doubting and doubting but...you explain everyting so well.

I can so relate to her.

Thank you.

I understand so much more now, still not sure i'm a sub but i'm definitely curious

I've enjoyed this story so much. I'm hoping to see more of your work in the future. Oh---thank you for ending it where you did!

Oh my gosh, please you cannot end it where you did! You HAVE to write more! Uhhhhh. Wish I was Elaine ;)

First thing, Thank You writing this story and posting it so Wwe could have the absolute pleasure of reading it. You have a gift for writing. While I agree with some about how it ended but I do understand why You chosen this kind of ending.

Thank You again Sir.

Donna

Thank you for this wonderful story

Your sub is very lucky.

Just...wow....just....completely blown away....

Wish it had all been like this for me. Text book case of everything he said your NOT supposed to do.

God this was an eye opener. Beautifully written. Breathtaking. I was so nervous for her at the end. Wow........That's all I can say....wow.

That was really wonderful amazing story. Thank you for writing it and postng it here. ;)

Plz tell me there is more! Read it 1 night and i wanna now jow it ends.

Wow, Your writing is amazing and Your sub is vey lucky. Please write more!

Bless You!!

Great story, well written.

awaiting the next story in suspense.

I have to say thank you, your story was a giant eye opener. I am exploring deeper.

id like to try a smooth small glass one

the colors and shape are beautiful

with soft music and white wine

This is so good. I cannot express how much I loved this.

Two more years to go. T_T

oh my god how can you leave it like that? Evil. i've loved this story,i found it while looking for something similar to a slave to the servants and got hooked. its explained a lot and i've recognised a lot of fantasies i've had that i didn't even realise were BDSM. anyway i loved it and though you were very good at getting into the female psychi, thank you and the next one had better be out soon!

Wow... this is one of the most powerful stories I ever read. It had me hooked. Literally. Thank you.

I loves this story....wish there were more!

you have enlightened me on alot of stuff that, put simply, is difficult to ask or even find out about. thankyou. i think you write beautifully, eloquently and realistically. i beg you to write more, its painful to be left at this point

all the best

HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT LIKE THAT WHAT D:<

/so angry

:c

I'll never think of vanilla the same way again.

My first thought was "NOOO, it can't end there" but then I realized that my imaginative mind could take it to all sorts of places from here. So though I'd have loved to hear more about their weekend, I'm satisfied. Thanks for a great read. I'm "favoriting" this one to read again later!

I was just looking around for some interesting storys to read about a year ago. I came across culture shock. And wow. It spoke to a part of me that I didn't fully understand. I honestly still don't. But atleast now I understand myself a little more. Thank you so much for writing such a diverse story to share with everyone. It seems to touch people on many different levels. And yes it was this story that inspired my name. I do agree it ended to soon though. But all around wonderful story. : )

I absolutely loved this story. Excellent work that kept me on the edge both mentally and sexually. Thank you for sharing.

I don't comment on stories in fear of upsetting the author or saying the wrong thing; but this story has made me take that leap. I am in complete awe of the mastery of this piece. Not only of the story but of the writing style, both of which were a staggering work of genius. What a wonderful and beautiful piece of art showing the growth of a young woman as she blossoms into something more.

Bravo on a job well done!!

I can't believe I haven't read this before... love, love, love.

When I was reading the first few chapters I kept thinking is this my life? :). Unfortunately mine doesnt have the hot ending.

Thanks for the great read.

like seriously, as an unimaginative person i really feel as if this could use a sequel. Also this is one of the best stories to be found on literotica.

This is such an amazing read. And you are one of the inspirations for me to start my own writing once again.

Lucky girl. Wish I could find a dom like that.

a great story....is there any more?

That was a fantastic read I loved every bit of it, despite not being actually into "The Lifestyle". But it's always good to understand people and their desires and this piece perfectly portrays all the aspects of D/s. Great story!

I don't think I've been drawn into a story like that one in such a long, long time. Wonderful descriptive writing, I could feel every emotion tingling down my spine in this entire read. I've wasted quite enough of my day now, and must do something useful. Magnificent writing, I can't wait to read more.

I beeeg you! Write the weekend scene please please please!!!!!!!

I think I just became a submissive vicariously! I'm just beginning to learn about this lifestyle but, if I ever decided to taught how to a submissive, a Dom like Gary would be my ideal teacher!

Absolutely loved this story, Sir_Nathan. An excellent read, well written.

I've never been so enticed by a story like this, I was on the ede of my seat towards the end, and I'm just so happy with how it ended! Although I would LOVE for you to write about the weekend, I'm not quite sure if that would ruin the story, as I'm sure this was to introduce people into the BDSM scene (as Elaine gets introduced to it). Simply AMAZING

Once I started reading I couldn't stop. Fantastically written and very informative at the same time. Loved it.

last 20 pages felt like old re-and-re-and-re-chewed gum. until then: good one!

I don't know where to start. This is the best story I have ever read. It answered a lot of questions and launched me on a journey of discovery. Thank you Sir.

This may be one of the best stories I have ever read, I can't get over it! Couldn't stop reading from the start. Just wow!

this story is absolutely wonderful! i read it so quickly; i couldn't stop once i've started! i honestly hope one day you decide to write about the weekend, and maybe even where their relationship goes. either way, job well done! :D

I wouldve died had a gorgeous man talked to me like that in a resturant >.< This story explained so much and brought my temperature to a rise several times. Few spelling errors, great visionary scenes, you totally messed up this genre for me since i doubt anything is as well done or amazing as this

I just finished reading the 50 Shades Trilogy and this was a great companion piece. I really enjoyed this story. Thanks.

Phenomenal journey of the ‘ideal’ we can all only dream of! Read FOUR times in the last two weeks and can’t stop drooling over Gary – he’s invading my dreams and I’m neglecting real life responsibility by being drawn to this over and over….

A few technical problems noted by my overly critical/editorial eye. One specifically – the date of the contract is incorrect if they began chatting on April 29 (per Chapter 3) two weeks later, “the big weekend” would be May 12-14 instead of May 6- 8 as written. There are similar other inconsistencies, as well as grammatical errors. However, in the grand scheme they certainly don’t take anything away from the exquisite plot and character illustration.

In full understanding of author Sir Nathan’s ultimate point of this journey of ‘curiosity to submission’ and ending superbly the way he does, I can’t help my own selfish desire (with the numerous teasers embedded within) that Sir Nathan will one day continue the journey of Elaine and Gary. There are still so many ‘ideal’ lessons and philosophies to explore of the lifestyle and healthy relationship progression. These two characters seem poised and ready for the challenge.

Your story brought my mind to subspace over and over, this story...makes me want my Gary...well written my friend:)

This is my favorite story by far! You have an amazing gift. Please, please write more.

Amazing story, very well written. I had the best nights sleep in years last night dreaming of Gary, and had to re-read the story again today. Thank you for explaining the realities of D/s.

This a great story of a persons journey into the lifestyle. So well written. So much depth. It was a joy to read!

Love the way you write.....

Fantastic. I found the link to your story piddling around the net, thinking I would take a gander. Three hours later I sit here wanting more. Wonderful...please tell me there is more to this tale?

as they say the devil's in the details and you did wonderfully :) thank you for the read, found a link via Reddit. I can't decide whether I wished you had at least finished the car ride or not. I loved your story regardless please continue to write

-LuLu

Exquisit writing. So much depth and compassion. Thank you.

I have done a lot of reading, a bit of writing, and a lot of keeping things to myself. I am dyslexic, so reading is a slow process for me, but when i read, i live the story. I have been as wet as she has been, as exited and as aprehensive. Thankyou, but i do need need new sheets.

Just wow! Talk about not being able to "put it down" Amazing, evocative, and down right sexy! Was a wonderful read, and I can't wait to read more of their story, PLEASE!

That was an amazing story but I want more! Got me really fired up and I want to know what they do on their weekend. Please tell me that there is more to come?

I just love this story and wish it had continued through their weekend. I would love to hear what they learned about each other and all the delicious things she was introduced to. Great reading and very insightful. I learned a lot to say the least!

continue this i want to know what happens next.......

So well written. Loved it! Would like to read what happens next! You're a great writer. You need to kindle publish this and make a little money from this. Just a thought :)

Please finish! I'm like dying here!

Thankyou.

Please finish it!

I understand that you have had problems with plagerism, but please finish this story!

i LIKE IT

A wonderful read, I hope that one day I will meet a Dom as patient and controlled as Gary.

Thank you Sir

I have been questioning the easiest way to transfer from the internet to real life,and this has helped me greatly; i only wish that i will have a dom like Gary.

I read this a while ago when a friend told me about it. It was way before I read 50 shades of grey and a while after reading Beauty's Punishment and THIS story is awesome. I love the characters and I love how I can feel like I'm right there in the story. I was sad when it ended. But, that's how I knew it was a goodie.

This was the best thing I have read in a loooong time. I need more!!!

Great read but the story is not finished. You can't leave us hanging like this.
