All Comments on 'While You Were Out'

If thats all you want in your life than enjoy. You have earned it.

I think you may have stepped out side of the box with the content of the letter.Who in their right mind would let a slut like this raise their children. You stated that she likes to go out to get away from the children.Any woman that stays out until 2:00 am without her spouse is fucking around, and there isn't any other excuse to be out that late. He lets the probable disease ridden slut craw in bed with him? If there weren't any children involved to raise, then if the man didn't mind his spouse fucking around on him, and maybe giving him a case of the clap, or worse, well that would be his misgivings, but to let her set the standards for small children to live by is criminal, and they both should put in jail.

with one comment here. looks really like unfit parents, not that it already has some major damage if the kids are to little to understand but for sure it will be funny to have no parents eventually by the age of 15 because of some tragedy like aids or hepatitis. and if they are still healthy I really would not like to be a kid in school where everybody would call my mother a whore. and to finish I can't understand where some adults get a sex-kick out of making the life of there kids painful. without kids I don't care who fucks himself up and his mind.

I have a fantasy where all the idiots who can't separate fantasy from reality get horribly murdered by a psycho with a chainsaw. Does that make me a killer? Should I be put in jail because I'm an unfit parent?

Grow up, you simple-minded morons.

Now, seriously, this isn't the best of this genre that I've read, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe it's just too generalized. I tend to like somewhat vivid descriptions of various things, because it lets me get inside the author's head a little more. See what makes them tick, and how they see what they're writing about. This one didn't really let me do that.

But others may find they like to be able to fill in details with their own imagination, so it's probably just personal preference.

Oh for goodness sake - what IS wrong with you lot????????

This was a good horny piece of writing.... stop being SO horrible to the author.... take your abuse elsewhere and if you dont like the content - don't read it ..... it doesn't take a genius.

Thanks paulkenator for your contibution.

On a site where you're always within a couple of clicks of stories full of vivid descriptions of swinging, ongoing/multiple affairs, group sex, and many other forms of what one might call Extreme Infidelity, this little walk on the mild side sure seems to have touched a nerve! I must say I'm a little surprised...but only a little.

What the righteously indignant don't seem to have gotten is a couple of pretty key points here: the fantasies have zing for me precisely because what they address is something a little naughty, a little illicit, a little taboo--in other words, something that's not actually part of our real lives! (If she went out several times a week rather than the, oh, 3-4 times a *year* that this actually happens, I'd be singing a different tune). So, Key Point Number One: it's fun because within the morals of our particular marriage, doing anything beyond flirting is off-limits--so it's like the Salacious Substitute Teacher, the Naughty Nurse, the Depraved Doctor, or any number of common fantasies about something that is fun exactly because it plays with boundaries we wouldn't step outside in real life.

Key Point Number Two is that, amazingly enough, I accept and even enjoy the fact that my wife is an independent, mature person whose life has many incredible facets, *only ONE of which is to love ME!* I fell in love with and married a woman full of zest, sparkle, and wit. To somehow imagine, much less insist, that all of that could be focused exclusively on me, every minute of every day, is not only foolish, but insulting to her as a complete person. Guess what: we all have little attractions to other people--and some of us don't need to pretend that our mates are immune to that. I like hearing about her sexuality because I like getting inside her head and knowing more about the person she really is. She doesn't do more than a bit of mild flirting when she goes out, but I suppose the righteously indignant will assume that she's not actually capable of such a thing as self-control. Gotta lock down the womenfolk!!!

And then there are the kids. Yes, we do have kids. Know what? Key Point Number Three is that these little flights of fancy, while profoundly innocent in the grand scheme of things, are also none of their business! I know, some folks assume that my wife tells me only 10% of what she's actually up to--that is is *not conceivable* that she isn't out having sex with everything that moves, and that in a few years I'll be laid up with every disease under the sun, she'll have moved to Vegas with an entire motorcycle gang, and my kids will be drug-bombed criminals eating tax dollars like bowls of Cocoa Puffs.

(But actually, the kids are asleep while all this happens, they have never heard of erotic fiction, and my wife and I are crazily in love.)

The inability to separate fantasy from reality has already been noted here. Key Point the Fourth: If I wrote a story about playing first-person-shooter video games for hours a day, the righteously indignant probably wouldn't bat an eyelash, yet I'm jail material for writing about (and adding artistic embellishment to) some sexy feelings! Strangely enough, I think that exposing kids to supercharged gun violence fantasies is one hell of a lot more destructive than enjoying being married to someone with a little verve to her (and yes, I realize that FPS video games are also fantasy, not reality...and if they were played by adults late at night while the kids were sleeping, then they wouldn't bother me at all).

I'm going on way too long here...just find the whole thing interesting. Keep the comments coming!

@ britgirl: thanks :)

@ Anon in Limbo: I know what you mean about being more vivid about the descriptions, but I'm not ready to go that far to those darker reaches in a story whose basis is reality. The more explicit stuff has to stay in the realm of pure fiction for me...but thanks for the comments :)
