A very well written story - not just erotica but a good story w/ erotica.
well written, erotic, and yet for some reason it didn't lift me up. Rather, it left me with a sense of sadness over the foibles, sometimes referred to as "What fools these mortals be." Anyway, Thank You. Ronnie W.
The sex was hot, as I thought it would be, but the story was more important. That surprised me! The two people knew that they would be lovers, but never in love. They accepted that, and helped each other identify what they truly needed in a relationship. They had both grown up, and lived their lives accordingly. Not a happy story, but one of value. Thanks for sharing!
all misty eyed - reminds me of someone i know and love, and can never have, for the same reason as your characters - we're good for each other, but not good with each other. have just started working my way through your stories - love your sense of humour and the fact that you're such a romantic. hmmm....did i mention that you write very well too?? :)
Your erotic adventure stories are wonderfully inventive and you have a large group of followers. I have read all that you have published in Literotica. It is too bad you haven't written for them for quite awhile. Perhaps you are writing and are successful in another genre, and if so it would be nice to find you again. Actually, I know only partially what your appeal is all about. You create interesting characters, and provide in depth and nicely rounded people. Your businesses have well described and believable organizations and objectives, and that's good. But you also write so much formula that it is tiring, reduces your effectiveness, and is a little lazy even if it is easier, or faster, to set the stage for the fucking. If we do find more of your stories appearing, don't give us shopping lists specifying the business traits or methods, and PLEASE don't have the hero and heroine list their sexual preferences. These are the two areas where your gifts with fiction and language would be enhanced with a little meat to supplement the candor.
A review of the difference between to and too could be of help, but it was still worth the Five Stars I gave it.
I appreciate your story-telling style. Your understanding of human emotion and your ability to relate it cleanly makes for a nice-to-read, non-emotionally manipulative experience. This story, which relates the joy of creating intimacy at a deep level and blissful sexual expression, and the wisdom of knowing that's not enough, leaves me feeling bittersweet. By the way, as Viet Nam vet, I also appreciate your stories that are military based. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Fantastic story lines. Excellent character development. Great research.
Just a few grammatical errors and misspellings. A good editor or proofreader would make a 4 star into a HIGH FIVE STAR!
Keep up the good work.

Gave it 4 Stars. The story was almost an education in sexual techniques. However, I found the very brief ending a shock, and it lacked the elaboration so present in the main story. Why so brief? Suddenly the high level of communication between the couple seemed to collapse without very much warning, although I know that they were both corporate A type personalities and seemed to agree that each did not want that kind of long term life partner. Guess that was the basis for the relationship not developing any further. Thanks for the fine educational tale, Dinsmore! Dan
CONGRATULATIONS. This is a remarkably intimate story, told with just the right pace and mystery. We knew where it was headed but were still surprised by the honesty with which Jim and Melody described their sexual preferences. You could have dragged out the sex scenes or added more, but you stopped when the essence of the story was told. NICE READ. THANKS
He grew up - maybe she did too - it seems like she had a better understanding of what she needed and then found it -
Nice work -
Interesting, I thought that working out all the details ahead would make their relationship more satisfactory, but the truth may be that the discovery of what is enjoyable than being teleguiaded.
lives, loved, lived.
the hardest part is recognizing who you are and how you got there.
Full disclosure on the first 'date' does have its advantages! Sounds like a match made in FWB heaven. I definitely look forward to reading more of your work. I appreciate your and your Muse's imagination (memory?) and abilities to bring it to your story. Thank you for sharing your vision and talents.
