This chapter seemed to be unfocused.

I can sympathize with the process: You've got several ideas floating around your mind, you try to organize them as you're also fleshing them out and getting them ready to be "put down on paper". Erotica is like that. Your creative process is triggered by something you see or read or imagine, and you end up with the mental equivalent of a book of short stories that you're left to try to organize in such a way that they flow into one another. They might share a common thread. They might be related to a greater or lesser degree. But the difference between Literature and Literotica is that good writing, really good novels, is like a river. It flows along, taking you on a journey, and along the way, you encounter things that make that journey interesting. While erotica is a series of encounters (or scenarios) which may require a bit of effort to connect in a seamless manner. Really, really good authors succeed there, and others strive to achieve lesser degrees of success.

I'm not saying that you failed on this story, I'd like to make myself clear: I think you had several ideas, several plot points you wanted to include, and I think that while you'd spent enough time dwelling on them before you tried to compose them at your keyboard, your readers hadn't had the luxury of being quite as "immersed" in the events to provide that "seamless ride" to the end. The edges were "a little rough", but it was still a nice conclusion to a storyline I've enjoyed reading.

And before the comments start coming in to slam me for commenting on a story when I don't have any stories to my own credit, let me agree: You won't find any stories posted here UNDER THIS NAME. Figure that out for yourself, and STFU.

Great series

Thank you for sharing and expanding this story for us. While I thought this particular part came accross as...hhmm..kind of listy? I am thankful that you at least brought some closure to the story, with an opening for more. Overall, fantastic read, you have great talent for writing and I hope you continue! Thanks again.

I unfoertunately came to this story very late on. I'm now going back to read it all from the very beginning. What I've read of it so far has been superb. I love stories of Mom and son hard fucking, and this is full of that. Without doubt, a very talented author.

5 stars from me!

Interesting ending to say the least...

I absolutely loved your style in the beginning of this story. I think I made several comments to that effect in the comment sections of earlier chapters. The main character was an intellectual,strategic,dry(sexually) with just enough dare in her to test the waters of the unknown. Very descriptive of reality, and a commonly faced way faced by those who are in the pursuit of success. Very relatable.

Not sure I 'followed' as closely near the last two chapters though. I think the real point where I broke off and felt myself parting ways with the main characters intentions is when she started to gain and almost exclusive interest in a BDSM style of relationship with her son. Her intellectual/successful/able personality seemed to wane itself out of existence as if it never were, and become replaced by an unhindered interest in absolute submissiveness to anyone and everyone that would look her way. A non sequitir to the strength, power and intellectualism that was laid out for her character in the earlier chapters. I think it was sally' intellectual prowess, which you displayed so effectively in the beginning by her acute analysis' of events, which is what made this therapist so damn sexy. Unfortunately, all evidence of her analytical mind begins to disappear near this part of the story(and a little before).

When the boys decided to father there mothers children, it seems that all traits of intellectualism through analysis by the main characters is nothing but a fond memory. Now, the characters and the plot line, seemed to follow almost exclusively, parallel to a pursuit born from carnal instincts. A tad less relatable for intellectuals (or at least for what i assume had been established for successful/intellectual individuals of sally's caliber.

You're a great writer though, and I enjoyed the ride nonetheless. Keep your writing hand strong!

Kudos to the reader.

My original intent in writing The Therapist's Journey was to do it as a mother submits to son's domination tale, but as I kept working on the story the relationship of Sally and Teresa took center stage and kept expanding. However, I had drafted the domination scenes, liked them, and so while in re-drafts I kept toning them down, I decided to keep them in. However, I was never entirely comfortable with the decision for the reason you mention; it didn't seem right for the character.

I appreciate your comments. Insightful feedback, both positive and negative, is always weIcome. From the viewpoint of someone writing this stuff the different reactions to it are often a mystery and why one story gains 100,000 hits and another 10% of that number unknown.

I'm glad you liked Sally. She is based on someone smart and successful and a bit relationship challenged. If I captured that in the character I did well.

All too rushef

I'm not sure I want to read the other chapters in this series (though I probably will). This chapter was just too quick and nothing like the preceding which is a disappointment.

What a amazing story

I have throughly enjoyed all of your stories here on literotica. You style is captivating, your plots plausible and your characters are interesting to follow. I wished I had joined this site back when first started, but I am very glad to have found your stories to read now that I am here. Thank you!

What an awful sexist ending! You really think the moms want to deal with babies again?

With mentally and emotionally mature individuals, anything is possible and reasonable.

I just posted Prom Night in which Josie Luker tells us about her did-not-go-exactly-as-planned senior prom. The major characters are: Josie Luker: a blonde high school senior; Cherokee Canseco: Josie’s best friend, Eric Luker: Josie's father Robert Canseco: Cherokee's dad: ...
