All Comments on 'A Hard Day's Night'

It’s been a hard day’s night and I’ve been working like a dog… it’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log… but I’m staying up with you, cause I know the things that you do will make me feel all right…

Seriously, Em & dj, good story here. Very realistic depiction of sex work and what it entails. I appreciate the diversity of relationships and how we got tender at the end. Not a fan of racial or sexual orientation stereotypes, but realism has to be recognized and negative things should be deterred. Overall, 5/5 despite the low detail on some sex scenes. Uh, my therapist just reminded me less is more sometimes. That’s the case here. :) Hope the story’s central character can find a better job before this one burns her out too much further. Good luck to the writer also. - AN.

Seriously, I started writing my story first, so how did you manage to not only finish yours, but submit AND publish before me???

Plus, it's longer than mine lol.

It's okay. "One Night Of Sindi" has been submitted today, should be up soon.

Enough shameless plugging.

I think you did a great job here, handling what can be a controversial subject with your usual mix of heart, humor, and of course kinky.

I know certain types will have the ending. But life and love and relationships don't always fit in the same shoebox some want them to.

Oh, BTW, want to clarify something in light of @AchtungNights comment:

Emily writes her own stories.

The ideas are hers, the words are hers.

My contributions vary; beta reading for errors, offering the random suggestion here and there on a scene, offering my opinions on her ideas for where things might go next, etc.

Emily is very generous in giving me "credit," but she's doing all the heavy lifting here, and I want to make sure readers understand and appreciate that.

Another winner, @EmilyMiller!

Strong emotions, great dialog. Reminds me of another Beatles' song: A Day in the Life

Tender and heartfelt, Em. Thank you!

@AchtungNight - thanks. That’s the first time anyone has said my sex scenes are not detailed enough! Em

@Djmac1031 - thanks, hun. This one was kinda your idea (in general) as I say. 😊. Em

@Crios - thank you so much 😊. Em

@MrPixel - so kind of you to say 😊. Em

Dj- got it, thx.

Emily- only my opinion. In part a reaction to similar criticism from trolls. Overall you did well.

Wonderful story. Thank you.

@DontPanic442 - thank you 😊. Em

@AchtungNight - I get it 😊. Em

Great story

It was a very enjoyable read

Wish there was a back story of why she was doing it this way

@Frankfirefawg06 - thank you. Maybe I’ll write one at some point 😊. Em

So how much does she charge hubby for a full night?

This is the first of your stories I have read and I found it exceptional in every respect. The prose was fluid and the dialogues very realistic. The continuity of Mimi’s character was well done in the different situations she encountered – to me she was a ‘real’ character in her ability to be tough as well as caring – i.e., a real person. Thank you for a great story.

I’m sure you will get the usual comments about her husband being a worthless wimp and her being a slut/whore. I guess those commenters would offer the same opinion of Anna Karenna and Lady Chatterley. We don’t have to like characters or the choices they make for a story to be great.

I think it was D.H. Lawrence who said of his critics “Fuck ‘em”.

Thanks again!!

Wow, the story was interesting until the end. The ending was just gross. I don't care if she took a bath. Here husband is seriously warped.

"Lauren, you'll always be my princess. Let me make you feel like royalty." This from her loving husband, who lets her go out to have sex with anyone who pays, nice guys to perverts. Ones who appreciate her and treat her well to the other kind- ones who only want to hurt her to make themselves feel good. SORRY, but NO, real loving husbands don't let their wives do this, they don't see the marks and stripes on their 'princess' and are ok with it. I don't care if she's the bread winner and they're house husbands, this just doesn't happen in real life.

But, the story was really well written and was an interesting look into the life of an escort. It just hurts to think of the number of marriages that have failed, when they have treated their spouse so much better.

Sorry, but mentioning that the whore is married does not make this a Loving Wives story. Take some pride in your story and put it in an appropriate category...

Nice twist at the end but the ending lacked the backstory as to why she has to continue to do what she did to do for her family. These clues could’ve been hinted at through the other chapters, perhaps the daughter needed medical help not covered by insurance, perhaps the hubby had an accident that affected his ability to work, although he can clearly lift her and has hinted at near future intimacy, anything that answers the questions now raised. This is important because she is clearly hinted that although she is fit enough to earn what she is now, she is fast approaching an age where her earning potential will drop significantly and, if her earnings are essential to her lifestyle how will she maintain the commitments we now see that she has?

Not a good loving wives story. Maybe in another category, but there weren't many marital hijinks in this messy story. I guess fiftieth equates with failure.

A BDSM tale, of a whore, that doesn't seem to belong to this LW category.

Fun for what it is… okay that is what your wife does, fine, the thing I don’t get from the story in terms of the husband, especially with a daughter at home, is knowing your wife is going into potentially dangerous circumstances… sex is one thing, letting her put herself in danger is something no man, no matter what should take as a matter of how was your day honey…. Otherwise still 5 stars

@Lyon796 - thank you for the lovely feedback. 😊 Em

@Tonyspencer - thank you for the detailed comment. This was meant to be a slice of a life. I didn’t really intend to put a bow on everything. My point was just that sex workers are people too. And that some of them are married. People have different ways of viewing a marriage. Em

@Anon - starting “fun for what it was” - this wasn’t meant to be a rounded novel. Just an insight into one way that people live. Em

So....let me get this straight. The whore comes home to her sucker...I mean husband and he immediately puts his mouth on her rancid, likely diseased moneymaker? What kind of person would do that? I say person because I wouldn't expect any self respecting woman would do that either. This was well written and I'm not going to do that one star bs because I didn't like the end, but that seriously took a turn down Grodeo Drive

. Why would any sane man married to a whore. And i would be curious to know what the couple tell their friends and family about her job. At some point the kid will find out her father is a pimp and her mother a whore

Emily, ain’t no denying that you can write your ass off, so much so that I just followed you. Not usually interested in reading about a whore’s hard day, but I read the entire story. I even read about the lame cuck who lets his wife do this. I just couldn’t see anyone being ok with something like this. I’ve nothing against sex workers, but being married with children and doing it is just wrong. “Sorry Mimette, but mommy can’t read your story tonight because she’s out screwing 6 guys,”said no Dad ever. It was a very good story that I enjoyed reading, but I didn’t like it.

Very good. Realistic insight into the trade. I liked the guys fighting, took me by surprise. The ending was also unexxpected. Keep doing what you are doing.

Glad it’s posted in LW. Probably not read it otherwise.

LOVE slap-papy-papy #9

Hey, if it works for them, why not? Most relationships are based on some level of respect, friendship, and trust. A marriage is a special relationship and exclusive Sex is usually a unique component. But I guess for some women they have no better marketable skills, so they fuck for money. If they can have a marriage partner who accepts a wife who fucks for money, why not? I'm sure there are married people who sell drugs for a living, maybe help other people "launder" their money. So having a prostitute for a wife is one option. Sounds dangerous, and demeaning, but obviously the couple in the story live by a different set of values and standards. Hope it works for them. I pity the child.

There are all kinds of people in the world , and it takes all kinds to make up a society . A call girl who happens to be married has to have a very trusting loving relationship with their husband . He must be very comfortable in his marriage to be so tolerant and understanding of his wife’s profession without being jealous or demand she find a different job skill . To have that much love for each other must be truly exceptional . I applaud the remarkable relationship they share .

Well written. I am pleased that you did not include a 'backstory' - a justification for why she was doing this. That would have made the read too comfortable for many readers and sometimes the discomfort is best left in. Why should she explain- she just is who she is.

@26thNC - thanks for the balanced response. It’s not atypical for some sex workers to be married and not to a pimp. I know of cases where they married a client. There are many different strands to the human experience. Maybe some are difficult to understand. Em

@A_Gentle_Man - thanks, hun 😊. Em

@Anon - starting: “Glad it’s posted” - thank you 😊. Em

@Anon - starting: “Hey, if it works for them”. Thank you 😊. Sex workers can be good parents. Non-sex workers can be bad parents. Em

@Anon - starting: “There are all kinds of people in the world” a better appreciation of the rich tapestry of human existence than some. Thank you 😊. Em

@colddiesel - thank you 😊. It’s always gratifying when a reader really gets what I am trying to do. If it’s only one in a hundred who make the connection, that’s still OK with me. Em

Technically very well written and edited. The fact that in the world of the story a so called man could send his wife out to be abused the way this woman was just flat gives me the creeps

@Cracker270 - thank you for the technical comment. Lauren has agency (not that agency) she decides what to do. I’m sure she discusses thing with her husband, but in no way does he send her out. She sends herself out. Em

"Respect costs nothing, and rudeness can be expensive." Words to live by right there. Well done. You pretty much covered the gamut of what a working girl might encounter and it ended on a good note. Terrifically written.

This very well written and although I'm from across the Atlantic I can relate to a lot of this. I will now check out some of your other work

@Rob_Royale - thank you - there was maybe some darker stuff I left out, but I isn’t what it to be doom and gloom. Em

@rockeyskate - thank you 😊 Em

I'm really impressed with this, okay some of the sex was a bit over the top, 🤔 but there must be hundreds of husbands that do something similar.

It must take a lot of love, more than I could give I must admit, but there are a lot of women who can and do think of sex as a business, a very profitable one at that that, one that hubby is willing to go along with.

Oh I 'v only just noticed that this is the follow up on another that might make more of the hubby.

I'm not crying you're crying 😂

I loved the therapy aspect. And about died at the frat house! I do think some kind of backstory about why both spouses are okay with this arrangement has to exist, but it works well not being told, leaving us speculating.

The husband and wife seem to be honest and open with each other, and to have agreed on her profession. If so, who am I to tell them they're wrong? I do wonder, what of the future? If Lauren comes home some night abused to the point Husband can't handle it anymore and he asks her to quit, will she? Do they have a plan to have her out of the business before it can affect their daughter? I wish the best for them, but I hope they're thinking ahead.

@oldtwit - thank you 😊 Em

@djrip - something in your eye, hun 🤣? Em

@anon - starting: “the husband” - I didn’t want tie a bow on the story and didn’t want the FMC “”saved” - so it’s intentional that the future is unclear. Em

I loved it and gave it 5 stars. It was well written, and seemed like a very real day in the life of a high end escort. The mix of customers is about right, with a nice mix of things, that I'm sure happens. The line where respect costs nothing but rudeness can be expensive is right on target and so true. When it came to the frat house, I was expecting something different. Nice plot twist. And being a therapist for the guy who had been cheated on by his loved ones brought a tear to the eye, very emotional. It's a heartfelt and touching story about what some people do to survive. Needless to say this was the first of your stories I've read, but I'm hooked now and will be looking at some of your offerings. Thank You for sharing it with us.

@Anon - starting: “I loved it and gave it 5 stars” - thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I write a wide variety of stuff, so check the category and tags first 😊. Em

That is one hard working hooker.

And wow. I'd pretty pretty stressed out if my significant other had such a dangerous job. I put prostitution up there with underwater welding and test piloting.

@secondaby - Mimi is kinda expensive. So less dangerous than for many working girls. Em

Well Written but couldn't make the leap at the end. 4.0*

@Demosthenes384bc (wow that’s a mouthful) - sorry you couldn’t make the final leap. Em

I don't understand why she bothered to use a condom for anal but not the oral. It's like putting a screen on only one window of your home and thinking it will keep flies out. Surely an experienced prostitute would know you can get a disease just as easily from one as the other. Strange.

Also, there are a lot of punctuation errors and there are many non-sentences.

This was my first time in your bibliography - well done! I will be back for more. I thought the pacing was good, and I found the variety of clients and scenes engaging. I enjoyed the insight into how Mimi / Lauren thought and felt about her work.

Sorry to read in your profile that you’ll be pulling back from your efforts here - not the first author whose retirement I’ve mourned. FWIW, thanks for writing and publishing your work here. Your talent, passion, and effort are apparent and appreciated.

A very special story very well written! Thanks, Emilt~

@Anon - thank you 😊 Emily

I don't like that this was not about survival but was a career choice for a married woman. I can only imagine the questions at parties (the normal kind, not the sex kind), "What do you do?" Anything more than a response of "Entertainment" opens a big bag of excrement. Kind of hard to have normal friends and a fulfilling life I would think. When you dig into the psychology of sex workers, most end up damaged in their humanity, since we as human beings are not naturally equipped do something that is designed to be so intimate and special, with strangers for money. Husband is only one of many every day. This leads to coping by alcohol and drugs.

@Anon - don’t feel too bad for Lauren. A) Some sex workers are perfectly happy (many are not of course) and B) she’s a character in a story. Emily

Great story!

@Padeboardpnw - thank you 😊 Emily

I'm not the one giving the comments. But I was quite interested in the ending of this story. I quite enjoyed reading the comments under the story. Then I asked myself a few questions and realized that I would never get an answer. Thank you for the nice story. And I'm not an English speaker, I'm using a PC translator. If you want to answer something, just send me a private message. 5 stars.

@Vasku21 - thank you for the vote 😊 Emily
