All Comments on 'The First Time'

I'm rating your story at 100% because I think it is a fairly good submission. I didn't get a hard-on reading it but it was funny and an easy read. But I don't get that many woodies at my age.

I really enjoyed this story.The end was clipped, but that made the story, didn't it?

I liked it a lot.

AND, it doesn't need any more chapters...

interesting. Would have liked it to be fleshed out just a tiny bit more, but not all that much. Worth the time for almost any Lit reader.

It's nice to read a funny story once in a while.

I hope the commenter was asking for the story to be a little more fleshed out.

Incredibly boring, no excitement really, rambling on and self-pitying..Wondered how I got to the end, when it bored me silly.Useless.

A member of a cross-cultural marriage for the past 41 years, there is a lot of truth in this story that I have experienced in an American-Korean marriage. American men seem to think that oriental wives are just a little short of complete servants. They don't seem to understand that extreme jealousy when a man is socializing with another woman, even in front of their wife, seems almost akin to approval to murder of a spouse. I would never suggest or approve to another to enter into a cross-cultural marriage, and most certainly would not do it myself, again. It is very American "un-manly" and creates a lot of emotional instability.

My spouse (36 years) is from Peru and my daughter-in-law (5 years) is from Brazil.

The point isn't the specifics, but the funny and sometimes NOT funny things that happen in cross cultural relationships. When my future spouse first saw a police car in the US she said "Look! the fooz (fuzz). It was five years before I had the heart to tell her. (Besides I always got a chuckle out of it.)

This was a cute story. The errors in punctuation and other typos were a bit distracting, however. A nice effort.

Almost eight years since the last comment. How did I find this you say? Quite by accident is my answer. And I'm very glad 'cause this was very funny. Read it.
