Very unsatisfying

I understand that Lou knew his wife better than we the reader did. Still I would not have done what he did. I would have thrown her to the curb and made everything public. Her mantra seems to be that she hopes to repair what can not be repaired. I think she is only trying to hold on to her meal ticket. "As I said, his remark hurt. I had really destroyed his life. But, I still had my meal ticket."

Lou's solution while hurtful to his wife, ultimately was a useless gesture. He continued to pay for a whore who fucked Ken while still living off his work. Had he not moved his money off shore she would have taken him to the cleaners. Her presence destroyed any hope he had of a true loving relationship with a woman who is not a slut. Very well written although the main characters miss the point of a relationship completely. And the remorse of the slut rings hollow.

Sad

What did the husband get out of settling for this stupid arrangement? Convenient pussy and years and years of "pay back"? He couldn't even move on with his life and relationships. Just for the sake of money? I don't even want to think what kind of backlash in comments there would have been if it had been the other way around with the husband existing for sexual scraps and no affection while the wife carried on. Thanks for the entertainment.

Well, what can one say?

Way too many words and way to little common sense. As Charley Brown might say, "Absurdity as far as the eye can see." Your 'heroine' is about as about as bright as a can of sterno. I truly hope you didn't model her after your own partner.

the harrowing tail of morality

from the bitch didn't seem true or authentic, sorry. <p>

i think it would have been better told from the husband's view. we readers would get more enjoyment out of a man decisively torturing the bitch for as long as she's willing to stand it and that means for YEARS. he used her whenever he's not with another female, but used her like the suction machine she wanted to be and treated her like the excrement she is and NEVER letting her know which is north or south, just letting the bitch dangling, wasting away, seeing her once proud upstanding breasts pointing to the center of earth, knowing that, as she herself said, even on line site, SHE would have to pay to have viewers look at her ugly body... <p>

but it's from her lame POV, so it's not too satisfying or realistic.

Very good

Am I really the only one who really enjoyed this? I thought it was great from the woman's point of view. Well done!

I'm torn here.................

<p>On one hand, it was an interesting story of how one person tried their darnedest to cheat with no strings attached, got caught, and really wasn't liking where they ended up. There wasn't any violence and if I believed in Karma I'd say they got what they deserved for the truly selfish actions. They tried their best to cover up and scheme their way out of paying for their actions. The resolution in the story really was developed well</p>

<p>But On the other hand, I can't say I liked how the story resolved an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy. I really disliked it enough to have it effect my ability to like the story, enough to drag the story down to 50%. First this is my personal opinion, I don't like abortions. I thought having the husband get a vasectomy was a good touch, but I've always felt that abortions are used way too often as either birth control and/or a "Get out of jail" free card. I've personally known to many people (and to me even one is too many) who have terminated pregnancy for no other reason than because it wasn't convenient at the time to have a child. Or they didn't want to get caught having cheated on their boyfriend/husband.</p>

<p>If a woman is pregnant and someone causes her to lose the child, against her will, its called murder. Look it up, it is. But if she decides she doesn't want to keep the being growing inside of her because it <i><b>inconvenient</b></i> at the time for either her and/or her mate/husband/lover/etc then because she's "asked" someone to terminate the life, it's no longer murder, but now an elective operation? Semantics on the same act. Because of that I really hate it when I read a story that solves the problem of a wife getting pregnant by having her go get an abortion.</p>

<p>For me personally, if the abortion had been left out of the story, and possibly (but not a deal breaker) Lou had moved on and divorced her, I'd have given the story 100 for being different than what's been on the site in a long time. But that one point to me marr's a good story. I've always seen unborn children as the one beings that can't speak for themselves.</p>

<p>As one person told me a few years back "You can tell a lot about a society (or nation) by the way they take care of their old, infirmed, and their young". I've always wondered what it says about any society who feels it really acceptable to get rid of any beings that are helpless, can't speak for themselves, or able to defend themselves from negative actions, all because it would be inconvenient to have them around?</p>

<p>I know I've heard the arguments about "A woman's right to choose" but once a life is "conceived", to me, it stops being a question of a woman's right, but more about whether or not the being that has started trying to grasp at a life doesn't know it has yet and if it has the right to it, or because it can't talk should be denied it on a the mother doesn't want it around.</p>

<p>Sorry bout the soapbox. I really am =(</p>

despicable story

Does the author hate all people or just all women. What a depressing story of stupid people who don't have a brain or an ounce of love among them.

Interesting story.

A sad tale of a couple who should have really moved on with their lives. They should have divorced. Perhaps after 10 years the husband perhaps, just perhaps if not forgiven then at least shown some feelings even if it was pity for the wife. Ken should have never got off scott free, more should have been done to him. But overall a very good story. Stupid people make stupid mistakes that is what makes us human.

AnonymousAnonymousover 15 years ago
its a BlBones story; what did y'all expect?

you guys ever read this author's other stories? If you have this was no different. Once again we see a wife whose betrayal is so out of control that her attempt somehow fix things... looks laughable.

<br></br>

Look authors can do / write their story anyway they want BUT if they want feeback then the hole that these authos place the wives in has to be reasonable. Otherwise

its forced reconciliation...

<br></br>

...which BTW explains why Britease thinks this is a great story

petletopetletoover 15 years ago
This story

lacks credibility whatsoever. I could see a 44 yo prudent housewife (who have never had sex with somebody other than her husband) having a short tryst with a man a lot younger than her being excited, feeling again young and sexy (not that I approve) but turning herself to a porn star doing facials, interracial, anal, ass-to-mouth, threesome, etc. just in a few weeks? Come on, people don’t change their mindset overnight.

the word is FAILURE

Not surprisingly from this author what we have here is total abject complete failure. Failure of the story to make any sense. Failure of the story to be anything close to believability. Failure to explain why the husband after being so outraged and offended would then decide to keep this mentally ill deranged whore around.

<br></br>

This author does a fabulous job of showing how detached from reality this so-called wife actually is. But that is problem.

<br></br>

By going into such detail so effectively it ends up hurting the story resolution because the hole that the author has place with wife innto is so deep that the LOU's solution to the conflict is unexplained irrational and unacceptable.

<br></br>

Even the very premise makes little sense. The wife starts getting turned on and pleased with herself because she still looks good enough to take all these fabulous pictures and the husband upon seeing the pictures actually gets turned on... to some degree.. as well. Their sex life increases significantly. If the husband and the story had reacted negatively to the pictures because of some sort of psychological hangup... THAT would actually make sense as in the story.

Instead the wife develops as connection to the Modelling pictures and sex.. and decides to fuck several different men ... teenage age boys and youdne in their early 20s... and attends college parties.

<br></br>

That connection between the modeling pictures and her need for increased sexual stimulation ... even though her husband is providing it... is proof that she is mentally ill.

<br></br>

<i> Sex with my husband was better than it had been for several years. I had a beautiful home. Lou attended to and provided for my every need. Before we were married, I had sexual experiences with other men, so it wasn't a case of trying to satisfy not having known a strange cock. So, why? I didn't know then and I don't know now. </i>

<br></br>

There numerous hints about the story of the wife's detached mental state. For example:

<br></br>

She doesn't think it's cheating until she actually fucks Ken in her martial bed.

<br></br>

She never really thinks it's cheating or fucking until she is caught and Lou starts calling it that.

<br></br>

When she is finally caught and a having a confrontation scene... and Lou a scenic pictures in the videos... these supposedly remorseful wife says...

<br></br>

<i>OK, if it will make you feel better, I fucked him on every weekday and sometimes twice. (choking and fighting the tears back) Does that answer your question? Is that what you want to hear? Does that make you feel better?" </i>

<br></br>

I think the evidence is pretty clear that the wife is complete fucking whack job. The time frame that this supposed event happens --within three weeks --is also bizarre and really hurts the believability of the story. <b>It's too much of a change that occurs too quickly without any real explanation.</b>

<br></br>

Finally the husband's solution -- divorce or be my Fucked toy ---is not explained all. Lou goes away for a week

...comes back with this " solution" but the author never explains how or why Lou came up with a solution. Perhaps he just wanted to enjoy the kind of sex from his wife which he been denied all these years since she was now doing it with other men. If so that needs to be explained because as it stands now it makes little sense. Every new type of sex act that LOU committed or did to his whore wife ... would only be a reminder of the betrayal and the deviancy of the wife. If anything after a few years lose rage would increase or get violent not slowly diminish over time.

VERY REAL STORY

GUYS YOUR WRONG WHEN YOU SAY THIS STORY IS FARFETCHED

I knew a couple that lived that kind of existence because of financial reasons for some of those same reasons (she cheated on him many times). However, the husband had no problem bringing his girlfriend home at times. The wife would even prepare a meal for them and sometimes go out with them (movies etc.)I thought the girlfriend was his sister, that's when my Mother told me the whole story. In the real life experience there was a sadder ending. The wife came down with advanced cervical cancer and the husband sent her to nursing home. He never visited her, nor attended her funeral.

AnonymousAnonymousover 15 years ago
The only financial reason for them to live togethe

is for her. She is a simple minded round heeled slut. Actually there is no reason for the husband to keep her other than as a maid. I would not fuck her or have sex with her in any way or shape. God knows what diseases she has. The only act of kindness she could do herself is suicide, she is a worthless piece of trash, and her loss of self esteem has let her destroy her only assest her body. Got to ask why men keep such useless pieces of trash hanging on. It is cheaper to divorce them the earlier the better.

Outstanding!

Mature? I loved this story because unlike other fuck and no consequences stories in this category we see real life outcomes. I am not talking about the details because one could argue that Lou would have been being off dumping the slut. Worse, if Lou dies then the model slut inherits his estate. The real price of serial infidelity is the destruction of the martial relationship so reconciliation is very unlikely. Thanks for pointing out the realities of divorce on retirement. Thanks for writing a powerful story.

Abortion is NOT the central theme here, Risq

I'm torn here................. <p>

01/02/09 by Risq_001 <p>

If a woman is pregnant and someone causes her to lose the child, against her will, its called murder. Look it up, it is. But if she decides she doesn't want to keep the being growing inside of her because it inconvenient at the time for either her and/or her mate/husband/lover/etc then because she's "asked" someone to terminate the life, it's no longer murder, but now an elective operation? <p>

++++++++++++++++++++++ <p>

I am sure you've not read Roe v Wade and all the thousands of little laws passed under it, but UP TO A CERTAIN POINT abortion in America is PERFECTLY LEGAL. <p>

It is terrible that a human life is aborted through no fault of its own --- simply because 99 percent of homo sapiens, and that includes YOU (but not me) are just hormonally driven toward the act of bodily fluid exchange --- but it is PERFECTLY LEGAL and that's why doctors are hired to do it LEGALLY. <p>

Before Roe v Wade COUNTLESS abortions, too, were done, in alleys and in rich homes and clinics. <p>

Despite the gibberish argument from Cons and religious fanatics, no one uses abortion as contraceptive. I am sure even the most uneducated/unconcerned young woman have some sad thoughts about killing a part of themselves. <p>

In any event, it is not for YOU or me to say, WITHIN THE LAW, what anyone should or should not do. Just stick to the over-all story critique and stay away from these religious driven nonsense about abortion. <p>

I am as Liberal as they come, yet I've never smoke a cigarette, or any thing, have never used drugs or drin alcohol, or have sex with any one (women or men or any other animal or object)... I will, however, argue for the right of ANY and ALL to do as they think good for them, WITHIN the SECULAR LAWS we run our institutions by in this society.

Probably The Authors Best Work To Date

Controversial, different but containing many issues and lifelike reactions to the extremes some experience.<P>

It was hard to find fault with the rational for the abortion but the age of conception was a bit of a stretch.<P>

Its hard to ignore the negativity and its affect on readers appreciation of the story but it won't be easily forgotten either as it seemed real in its extreme.<P>

The author now knows how to write to life albeit its dark side in a way that causes readers to be drawn in as opposed to being angry with his prior premises - at least from my viewpoint.<P>

This was a complex unpredictable stage that he handled quite well while entertaining a subject of high emotion.<P>

Two bedroom Consequence isn't beyond what could have happened and does for other less disturbing reasons to some couple who live a life of convenience lacking love or caring now dead.<P>

Provocative Author and much better than the cuckish wimps paraded in other stories.<P>

I now look forward to your next.

A very good piece of work

<p>This was a most engaging and well written tale, with an ending resembling the aftermath of a bomb blast. There are no winners here, only survivors. Because of the important role she had within her family, Barb’s selfish escapades damaged everyone in her wake. Even her neighbors could not escape.</p>

<p>It should be noted that the marriage had problems from the first: a wife in need of more attention, a husband too self absorbed to be concerned with anything but sport or propriety, all living in an empty nest of restlessness. Yet, there were other possible outcomes, but the manner in which this author painted Barb’s descent was nothing short of brilliant.</p>

<p>I even felt sympathy for Ken, the young man whose life was changed forevermore, due to his own deceptively innocent seduction. How different the story might have been had he followed his first instinct and rebuffed his neighbor’s advances.</p>

<p>Barb’s inner dialog was also exceptionally well told. The issue of her pregnancy was the only element I seriously questioned. Surely Barb was almost fifty when her adultery takes place. Contrary to literary license, fertility drops off sharply after a woman reaches thirty-five. To have Barb pregnant through natural means at fifty, while possible, is also highly improbable.</p>

<p>I am surprised at myself for not questioning Lou’s response to his wife’s debauchery. Ever the practical man, he weighs the options at that stage of his life and realizes that he can at least mitigate the damage financially by <b>not</b> divorcing her. It’s not so easy to discard a spouse at the end of one’s working life. This gave the cliché <i>‘it’s cheaper to keeper her’</i> a new clarity.</p>

<p>For a man who has labored hard all of his life, played by the rules and even mapped out his retirement, Lou’s decision to maintain a sham of a marriage made perfect sense, as did the discovery of his having moved marital assets at the very end of the story.</p>

<p>However, to have kept a loveless marriage on life support for <b>ten years</b> seemed excessive, over the top. A husband who could do such a thing would have to be so damaged emotionally that he would be bordering on insanity. I think the author was wise to give us only glimpses of Lou during this period.</p>

<p>For readers having trouble with a husband opting not to divorce I would recommend cageytee’s excellent story <b>“A Classic Line”</b>. The couple in that tale go through a similar situation from a similar station in life but with a different outcome.</p>

<p>Thank you BIBones for a well written and thought provoking story.</p>

Good story, but very sad. Personally, I'd of castrated Ken but I guess he found his calling in life, helping women fuck up their lives. Thanks.

A very good piece of work <p>

01/03/09 by Salamis <p>

For a man who has labored hard all of his life, played by the rules and even mapped out his retirement, Lou’s decision to maintain a sham of a marriage made perfect sense, as did the discovery of his having moved marital assets at the very end of the story. <p>

However, to have kept a loveless marriage on life support for ten years seemed excessive, over the top. A husband who could do such a thing would have to be so damaged emotionally that he would be bordering on insanity. I think the author was wise to give us only glimpses of Lou during this period. <p>

+++++++++++++++++++ <p>

Or, Lou immediately and irreversibly became cold and calculated. <p>

He immediately started planning the years to come and they did not include someone who he had loved deeply for so many years and had thought to want to die and be buried with at the end of their days. Someone who could do such a heinous thing to him and his family. <p>

So I don't think Lou is insane --- or insanity was the only thing to keep him function those 10 years. To me, two things must be doing on his mind: <p>

(1) I am going to live my life as I want --- even use her as a masturbatory device if I fee like it --- and the bitch has no real say in nothin'; <p>

(2) I'm going to protect the resources I've accumulated over the years and this bitch is not going to get any substantial share beyond the running of the barren non-home house. And overseas is the best way to protect those assets. <p>

Again, to me, this was what's going on in his head. For if it were not the case, he'd either have blown his brains out, or someone else, during those years. But from what the bitch said Lou's more than minimally sane or functional; he's leading a life that deals with taking "lady friends" on vacations to Hawaii! <p>

'Tis why I said it would have been so much more satisfying if the story were told from Lou's perspective --- not the bitch's, some one we don't really care what happens to at this point. Hell, even their son didn't care much about her and the neighbors... even less so...

surprisingly poignant

It looks like you moved up a league.

Last page was unlike any of the regular stuff I have seen by this author. Instead, we are treated to more nuanced narrative which uncovers a serious sober process of awakening by the wife, It certainly comes as a refreshing change from the standard fetish themes, actually sounding like a real story! You just never know...

Vulcan_in_OhioVulcan_in_Ohioover 15 years ago
Not a bad story, just some credibility issues.

This was fairly well-written and easy to read. It was a bit repetitive in spots, but overall, I enjoyed the story. My thoughts about the "arrangement" Lou envisioned (legal marriage but without love) are that it really won't work. Maybe Lou was finding a way to get his assets off-shore into some secret accounts, but this is more difficult post-911 than it seems. Any good lawyer can follow the money; failing that, he/she can come up with an accountant who will provide expert testimony at divorce court giving an estimate of the value of all marital assets based on weekly earnings, ordinary expenditures, etc. Like the IRS, such an attorney/accountant combination can come up with a reasonable estimate of how much Lou would need to pay to Barb, regardless of where Lou secreted his moneys. Also, the fact that Lou did not divorce Barb within a reasonable time of finding out about her infidelities implies that legally (and that's all that counts in a divorce proceeding), Lou essentially forgave Barb's trespasses. So he can't then use photos against her at a later date. He even told her she could fuck Ken some more; that weakens any argument he might make (or his lawyer might make on his behalf) that he could not tolerate her infidelity. A child, if not aborted, would still legally be considered his natural child despite a DNA test showing he did not father it (read the laws in most states; the courts just want the best for the child and don't really care about whose sperm was employed to create it). One more thing, a clean bill of health from a doctor's check up does not, of course, mean Barb is free of STD's. It would require 4-6 months of repeat testing to rule out HIV, for example. I think Lou actually would have been better off simply divorcing Barb. I also don't think telling his son the details was appropriate. I don't blame Ken too much; 18 or 20 year old boys have a tough time keeping it in their pants when propositioned by an attractive woman. Ken tried to say no but I don't blame him for failing to resist. But I do blame him for pushing Barb into sluthood. Ken got her with Tyrone, Ken pushed the envelope with anal and such, and Ken pushed the video thing. Ken also was to blame for the wild party stuff where Barb was basically a fuck toy for anyone who wanted her. I would not be surprised if she was drugged somewhere along the way, although alcohol can certainly be drug enough. Finally, I too have a tough time imagining Barb getting pregnant at age 50, although it's not impossible. Basically a good read but the "crazy" factor was a bit over the top.

BLB I have to say that you captured the essense of

an older woman made stupid by her age and her getting young stupid cocks from young stupid kids. The wife was acting stupid...about as stupid as her kid lovers...Lou wasn't overboard with his anger. The only thing missing was when he would beat Ket to a pulp and try to beat some sense in to his empty head. Good job. I loved it but didn't like her at all. Why?

BLB - Forecasting the future for busted marriages

Actually as I thought about your story, the state of economically entangled martial finances and this information age we will see more marriages end up like Lou and Barb. First, the laws give no real penalty for infidelity. Second, at least in the US, middle income finances are so tied together that divorce means a lowering of your standard of living. Third, given the low cost of survelliance devices and communication devices (e.g., phone camera) it is very likely that a cheating spouse will get caught. Therefore, busted marriages will likely ended up like Lou and Barb. I also like to think that Lou still loves Barb enough to make sure that she does not starve or go homeless. As to the abortion, Barb's consent or not is a non-issue. No court in the land will force a spouse to raise someone else's child and Barb could not raise the child on her own. Your writing has definitely improved. Thanks!

Very Good Storytelling

This offering by BLB is light years ahead of his other Loving Wives stories published in 2007. The author has made a lot of progress in creating believable characters as well as believable stories. Despite some problem areas (pregnant at 50, 10 years for Lou not meeting someone who could be special for him) I thoroughly enjoyed A Mature Model and am looking forward to any new stories the author will be writing.

obviously i cant give you a perfect score bc cheating sucks and i cant ever like a story involving it. on that note, holy sh*t! i know you got the whole cliche down, but then you went for the kill describing the emotional pain. man, i didnt think it would bother me but reading about the emotional scarring bothered me so much, i thought about leaving the rest of the story unfinished. to be honest, im surprised you ended it the way you did, i would have thought you'd somehow make it a happy ending, not necessary together but they moved on.

meal ticket

lou had no use for her, following her fall from grace. it was a documented fall, with a thud. she alienated those whom she would have wanted, for any kind of support/caring. once lou got the assets stashed away and the divorce outcome set, get rid of her. the chance to be happy included being away from the person that was the heart of it. lou was a meal ticket and could send her looking for a meal and a roof elsewhere. a miserable situation was whay she deserved, and no sympathy for her, or ken.

This story could be a movie

I'm 65 I am a photographer for over 40 years and this story could happen it happen to me more than once not like this story but I did have sex with some ladies modeling for pics for their husband or boyfriend. When they come to your studio they are treated like a queen and they love it and I tell them they are beautiful. It only happen to me about 6 times but they were short affairs. I also had some one night stands. I fell in love with one lady and I mean she was a real lady the looks the walk the way she talk it just tore me up om the inside. I look at her slides and still have a thing for in my heart. She was marry when I photograph her but I didn't cause the divorce her husband did. The woman in this story got caught up in being told she look good at 50 and she should model. The fault lies with her mostly because she the adult and knows the young man but he was wrong to and treating her like a whore and she started this with a kiss. The husband had the right to make her get abortion because legally that would of been his kid and was the baby going to be white or black. Michael Jackson kids are his legally but they are not of his blood. I like this story was it real. This story could be a movie it's that good.

So what happens to an old whore/ sluts life? Just look at our Mature model, Barb. She's's down and out, living her old years with regrets(?). She got exactly what she deserves, in fact she deserved worse. That wheel turns, it may turn slowly but it does....

Well-crafted story with some flaws

I'm partial to happy endings so I found this quite depressing. Still, it was a good read if you're willing to overlook a few things, one of which is the improbable timeline and some of Barbara's choices that can't be attributed to blinding lust.

I suspect that some readers commenting on a story like this judge the story by their satisfaction with the outcome. Readers, particularly males, who identify with Lou will find little satisfaction in his limited field of options for dealing with his wife's behavior, much less the one he chose. That is not the measure of the story itself. This story is a tragedy, and tragedies are usually like that.

The author stresses Barbara's gradual decline and attempts to distinguish her behavior from that of a wife who calmly and callously indulges her impulses with no consideration for her husband. That is probably the weakest element of the story: the rapid descent into unbridled lust provoked by temptations that seem inadequate to explain it. That makes her claims of love for her husband and remorse for the pain she has caused him seem shallower than I think the author intended. My impression is that Barbara was supposed to be a woman who did a lot of what we've all done at least a little: rationalize wrongdoing and deny the harm of it, or at least the potential for harm.

Lou's final choice toward here is purely punitive, and her choice to accept it is her corresponding guilt talking. The practical considerations--primarily the consequences of divorce--are really beside the point. He's keeping the reminder of the injury inflicted upon him close by so he can make sure she never goes a day without having it thrown in her face, and she's choosing a life of constant mental torture more painful than the worst she could expect from a divorce and relocation to somewhere far away because she cannot see the boundaries of her guilt any better than he can. Destitution would hurt less, but she can't bring herself to choose it, or at least, the option that has it as a serious risk.

Lou is no hero here; his chosen approach is worse than what she did. She hurt him, no doubt, and is morally deserving of some kind of retribution, but she did what she did over a certain period of time driven by sexual desire; her sin was a failure of self-control and realistic self-examination when she was calm and away from the temptation. Unconscionable, yes, but not infinite. He, on the other hand, has nothing in mind but to inflict the maximum pain on her, and as the story ends, for the rest of her life. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. He may be excused for not being noble enough to forgive, but such extreme and unlimited vindictiveness sullies his character more than she sullied hers. Putting the Scarlet S on her where he can see it every day is treating his own pain like a precious treasure, to be tended and nourished hour by hour, day by day. He is, at this point, cloaking extreme self-pity in a shell of self-righteous indignation, exploiting his legitimate distress to excuse the manufacture of a mental dungeon for her, establishing conditions calculated to make it as difficult as possible for her to deal psychologically with her behavior and get past it. The divorce would be the only decent option, and he should be the one to insist on it. He can't put this behind him, and that's not her fault.

He is playing God, trying to throw her into eternal hellfire. Maybe he really thinks that if he keeps it up long enough it will soothe the pain. If he gave it a minute's thought, he'd realize that he has designed a system guaranteed to sustain it, and he has no one to blame for that but himself.

I don't know if this is anything like what the author meant, that that's what it means to me. I think I'm on good ground here.

So extremely stupid, I had to rated it 1*.

The folowing statement is so stupid it boggle the mind: "Barb, it shows that you have a beautiful body. You could make it as a professional model."

Good grief! Most models are high school age, average age is 17, and they retire at age 19.

Seriously! So far he/she has contributed a total of 0 stories to Literotica. Yet on every story, including this relative masterpiece... there he/she is with that stupid 1-star rating.

And in this case, it's all based on one stupid sentence in this story? Ken isn't a pro photographer. That is stated in the story. The line that sticks in Dworncock's craw is simply Ken giving his Opinion.

And YES... I hope everyone who reads on this site is willing to admit seeing women over the age of 19 who are beautiful enough to be a model. Heck, my wife is 40, she's a knockout and is most certainly prettier than many models I've seen. Including the 17-19 year olds.

Either help the writers with some constructive comments or STFU and go away Dworncock.

A bit conflicted

I completely understand that barb royally fuck'd up her life as well as kens-- but barb living as a slut wife without being paid is wrong! I actually didn't like her during her Many escapades due to her lack of remorse and her continuous lies even after getting caught she failed to mention critical information but tonwards the end barbs husband acted like a complete ass! He doesn't love her anymore so why doesn't he divorce her & move on? Why treat her like dirt? Even sluts has feelings. I don't understand how barb can live like this I would've begged for the divorce... Shit 10 years of loneliness with nobody to comfort & talk to not even a fucking hug?! Fuck that... I started feeling less sympathy for the husband & barb started gaining more sympathy from me, yeah she fuck'd up but she opted for not getting a divorce in hopes of rebuilding her marriage, but he obviously not only made it clear that he hates her but their marriage is dead & gone... So why not just divorce?! Money ? It's been 10 years I'm sure he's saved enough money to rid himself of her... He treats her like a maid but he isn't paying her.... I'm all for "BTB" but I actually felt very bad for her... Her life sounds so sad & lonely..... I would've of preferred they divorced..life is way too short to be miserable & too short to feel unloved & unwanted.... I really didn't care for the husband.... She fuck'd up divorce her.. Ken was young & stupid but his life shouldn't of been ruined before it got a chance to start... He had no business fucking his best friends mother but young people think with their dicks.. I don't understand why ken's wife divorced him cause of the video they weren't even together at the time & I'm sure he had nothing to do with it hitting the enternet. I feel bad for him too... Wow I have sympathy for the cheaters more than the asshole husband

Agree With Danger

She was well past being a cheat, an adulterer and Ken stupidly couldn't resist the urge to get more and more kinky.

That being written, I agree with Danger09 and submit a little more...

Granted, she loved Lou and had a great life and now she had totally slutted herself, got pregnant. Foolish films and exciting sex will cost her 25 good years and now would not ever compensate for the price she paid.

My additional thoughts. She knew after his conditions and some time that she would never get him back. She made some money and squirreled it away. Should she stick it to Lou - NO, she already did but he has now shown her how demeaning and low he can treat her in public and with family. She never intended to humiliate him and to a very small degree (very small) I can understand his hurt and anger BUT - I would have had her going back to a gym, staying in shape and when she was approached by a man that seemed to be caring and possibly loving, I would have had her encourage him and if it seemed good she would tell him of her affair, how it happened, how it got out of hand and ultimately how she understood her husband could never come back from it. If the new friend felt that she had learned a hard lesson, suffered from it and would never again find herself in a bad situation then I would think he would encourage her to become his fiance, divorce Lou and try to move on with him. This would not be a man who was critical of Lou or her, he would be a man of compassion, understood her and Lou's dilemma and felt that he could have a warm and loving relationship with her.

I would have given Lou until after his Dorothy event and then common sense would dictate that another 30 years of being treated like the town whore was enough, done, no more and move on - Lou was now a jerk. Lou hiding is finances and treating her as a common garbage slut was beneath the man he claimed to be, she screwed up, he would never forgive her, part company and stop with the trauma!

Yes, after all this time I felt for her and Ken. She let her hormones get in the way and he let his youthful testosterone take over - Both Paid too high a price!

semofuncpl3semofuncpl3over 11 years ago
I have to disagree

with some of the other comments that have been made. Lou was harsh but it was up to her to decide what to do. He did not put a gun to her head and force her. She chose to be a stupid cheating slut and she chose to stay with him. I think he let her off easy. When I found out about my cheating wife I was ready to kill the bitch. Very slowly and painfully. If you haven't experienced it, you don't know the pain it causes.

Interesting tale with one dumb slut

It was almost comical to watch the wife as a model and end up fucked by whomever was around. How actually does a married woman who professes love for her husband and is a mother and also becoming an older woman ? I don't think the extrememly easy way she slipped into slutdom was accurately described. Then when the dumb bitch is caught she lies, covers up, answers indirectly with confusion and way too many times she bursts into tears. I think one reason she chose to bawl so much was it gave her a respite in the questioning. I felt no pity whatsoever for her throughout the story and especially at the end. Oh we must remember that she allowed her young partner to dictate the sexual actions they would take some things she and her loving husband had never done. And the dumb slut doesn't see this as a problem. Bottom line for the story the wife is almost always unaware of the results of her actions.

TavadelphinTavadelphinalmost 11 years ago
Another interesting perspective -

Making her live out the life she chose is excellent - she had and has a choice - that she cannot afford to do much other than what she is - well that is a choice too - you do pay for what you take sometimes -

He is well protected now and she is more vulnerable - so - tough shit?? Chew harder -

She lost job as college instructor in Helena Montana when details on profile and sex photo were given to college administrator. She had harassed and coerced married male student into sexual relationship then aided in the destruction of his reputation and loss of his job. Her husband knew about her affairs, stayed with her even after she cut him off from sex. She was having concurrent affairs at the time. When she was pursuing one student she was already involved with two other married men, and still getting together with former lover. Judging by her stories, at one period she was juggling three affairs. One was the vice-principal of the Three Forks Montana high school her sons attended. Her elder son had failed to graduate with his class so she arranged a quid pro quo with the vice-principal and her son got his diploma. She told that story to one of her lovers.

More stories about her available on that FB profile. It was set up by friend of student she ruined.

true life version

Serial cheating wife near Winston Montana. Exposed on Facebook profile of dearbornmt@yahoo.com.

Lost her job as college instructor in Helena Montana because details on Facebook were made know to college administrator.

Also given to associate Dean was photo of bare breasted instructor. Her best friend lives in Threes Forks Montana and for years was having two affairs at same time. Instructor and bff even did threeway for one of bff's lovers as birthday present. Instructor told one of her lovers that the train derailment that occured near Three Forks in the summer of 2002 came about because bff was giving engineer a bj at the time. Instructor, at the time owned a candy store in THREE FORKS MONTANA and was IMing lover from office when bff called needing a ride.

I have read that conversation. Employee of store-married female-was banging one of the delvery guys.

Must be something in the water.

Three married females-all close to each other in small southwestern Montana town having multiple affairs and sharing sex details with each other.

THREE FORKS HAS AN ANNUAL ''FLY-IN'' EVENT.

Two of affairs resulted from 1998 gathering. My thoughts are if you would like some of that town's ''special hospitality'' make plans to visit in August. Strip club just outside town with motel right across the road.

Story told by instructor indicates when her eldest son failed to graduate with class she engaged in sexual quid pro quo with vice-principal. Year later that guy's son who was bff of instructor's son showed up at her house saying he could give her best sex of her life. Think he wanted to show up father-not sure if instructor decided to compare their skills. But her son took after her and while in Army screwed around on his wife. Mid thirties two daughters and now son with second wife.

That guy is fool. First wife is gorgeous long thick hair voluptuous body and from photo I saw second one was two-bagger with nothing body. First wife was nice enough to allow him to keep his seargant stripes as adultery and screwing subordinates is big no no in services.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 7 years ago
Fortunately women are not sex crazed, they are love starved.

The woman you described in this story acted like the typical horny selfish man. Women seek sex when what they really are looking for is love. So while the story is sad and compelling, it is also ridiculous. Not saying it can't happen, just not for pure lust. A woman acting like Barb is looking for love and affection she's not getting from her marriage. And the very idea that a woman might fuck around without any regard to her fertility and possible pregnancy is equally preposterous, reflecting a man's approach to conception, not a woman's. Remember, a woman gets reminded every month that she is a baby making machine; women don't "forget" that they can get pregnant!

Another non-female trait you gave to Barb is her willingness to stay in a loveless marriage. A man might, for occasional pussy and room and board, but a woman would not tolerate the humiliation, rejection, and guilt. Even more, Barb would have left the marriage not for her relief, but out of true love and remorse toward Lou. She would have divorced him so that he would be forced move on with his life and could forget about her destructive choices. That would have been a classier ending, but you wrote this woman from a man's perspective, so her behavior is awkward to bizarre throughout the entire story.

Next time get a woman's input if you want to write from a woman's perspective.

While I believe abortion is murder, your anger is misplaced. She and SHE ALONE DECIDED TO HAVE ABORTION.

She could have just chosen divorce.

Lou had no reason to be nice to her.

She decided to become gang bang porn star.

At Anon from 5/17

You're pretty wrong on both counts. Women in their 30's and 40's are pretty much like men at 16-21. Their hormones are kicking in and they want to have sex for sex sake alone. I'm not saying a woman doesn't associate more emotion with it even when it's just sex than a man would under the same circumstances, but women have lust too and not just need for love. I have dated many women and yes, about a dozen have told me they loved me, but they along with many more loved the sex for the sex sake too.

Second, women are much more likely to stay for being provided for than men. In fact, security is much more important for women than men. A very good friend of mine was a prosecutor and you'd be surprised by his stories of mothers staying with their husbands knowing full well they were abusing or molesting their children because he was the only breadwinner. I know sick, but they felt they had no other choice. Obviously, these were not the best educated or had a lot of resources or ability to get a job. But still!

Reading A lot Of These Lit Stories Have Given Me A Very Different Perspective On the Male Ego

Being a dispassionate outside party I realize what a waste Lou's reaction was. Believe me even after reading all these stories I cannot see how I would have not divorced her, BUT.

What she did was succumb to being human. Women in their 30's and 40's are like men in their late teens. Their hormones are raging. What she did really wasn't about Lou. She did not belittle him or ridicule him to her lover or try to take anything from him. So what Lou did for this month out of her hormones and pussy controlling her mind out of a 25 year loving marriage is he punished the BOTH of them for the rest of their lives. Yes, she was missing the love and companionship, but so was HE. He sentenced both of them, when really it needed be that way.

Now, again, as I mentioned I can see this clearly because I was not the one involved. I've stated in my commentary before that I've had major committment issues and have gone through a lot of women, and luckily women have liked me easily so it wasn't that hard. So I would break up with a woman for much much less than what the wife did in this story. But at the same time I know how to love and for women to love me. I've had a dozen women be in love with me and I've told seven women, very sincerely and truthfully, that I was in love with them. So I would have kindly broken up with this wife, even been her friend, but moved on and let her move on.

Just like she let her hormones (emotions) control her and not behave logically, Lou let his ego (emotions) control him from making wise and logical decisions for himself. If he could stay with his wife, live with her and still fuck her, in time he should have been able to rekindle the love and go on as before. It's too bad at that mature age both of them because of emotions and not higher thinking they fucked up their lives.

That's not how I see it at all. Lou was already punished as much as any man can be (and still retain his sanity). He had no love left for her. Gone. Destroyed by her deceit and willful betrayal. His ego might have needed salving but his decision was for his personal comfort in his retirement. There was no further malice towards the slut. He even allowed her to continue fucking Kenny. Quite unbelieveable, IMHO, I was hoping it was just a setup to out the slimy little prick to his parents.

"Now, again, as I mentioned I can see this clearly because I was not the one involved."

So you're the same as every one of us that bothered to comment. Opinions are like assholes, pal.

She was a selfish, lying slut and dispicable parasite who only wanted the comfort of Lou's money and serviced him occassionaly to get it - AKA a live in whore.

He did not do that to her. She did.

Are you delulsional?

He didn't hold a gun to her head. He made the appointment but she CHOSE to keep it (the appointment that is). Are we to believe you are one of the incomprehensible numpties that thinks he should be MORALLY responsible for a bastard that she dumped on him as a result of HER betrayal? FFS. As for sexual abuse, IT WAS FUCKING. Thats all, no more no less, nothing that she hadn't done with Kenny. He didn't keep the slut prisoner. She could have left him. She could have divorced him.

SHE MADE A CHOICE.

You could have tried to argue the toss about EMOTIONAL abuse but really there was no emotion left in him for her and they had no real relationship anymore, (she killed it), only the sham of a "marriage".

Seriously, sometimes I despair for the comprehension of this language.

BlBones did a passable job. I would have preferred more definative consequences but not bad. The son's reaction was spot on. In fact he easily might have gone further. But that should have been Lou's perrogative anyway.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 5 years ago
I see johnadp is the new TimRiv

This story has very well developed characters, but before I go into that I need to address johnadp's cuck-boi worldview. Thinking in terms of the tired "male ego" cliche is a sign of a feminized male. Feminists long ago propagandized against marriage and monogamy by disparaging objections to female adultery, and legal sanctions against adultery in general, as treating "women as property of men" and reflecting nothing more than the "infantile, fragile male ego". Useful idiots, like johnadp mindlessly have internalized that nonsense and repeat it. The net result was that feminist/liberals succeeded in creating the family law that we have today which is grossly biased against men and monogamy (virtually every state). Adultery is treason against the family. Of course, if you view marriage and the traditional family as "oppressive", then today's destructive family law is a good thing and the devaluing of marriage is too. If you do think it's a good thing, then I invite you to visit any inner city neighborhood - say, the South Side of Chicago or the "Fish Town" that Charles Murray describes in "Coming Apart" - to behold the marvels of feminist/liberal advanced thinking. Adultery is an act of selfishness, egotism, and narcissism. Spouses who are the victims of adultery are not reacting out of "ego" or "pride". Adultery is an attack on the bonds that hold society's most important institution, the family, together. Adultery shows a profound lack of respect, is a gross betrayal, makes a mockery of claims of "love", and destroys the deep bond of intimacy that helps sustain marriages. The toll adultery takes on children is an enormous evil.

In this story, only a feminized male could view the wife as a "victim" or as sympathetic. She deliberately and repeatedly engages in adultery over a long period of time, which culminates in an orgy/gangbang. The husband, on the other hand, trusts his wife and encourages her modeling activities, subject to some reasonable limitations. SHE chooses to betray him and her marriage. When he finds out, it turns out he would have considered reconciling until he discovered the orgy/gangbang. Then he offers her a CHOICE: divorce or continuing to live with him as a housekeeper and as a provider of occasional sex, provided she gets an abortion. She could also continue to fuck the neighbor. Note that getting 40-45% of the assets in a divorce would have allowed her (as per the story) to live modestly without working, and if she got a job (horrors!) she could more or less maintain her lifestyle. AND she was told up front that there was no prospect of reconciliation if they lived together. Of course, living together would give her greater financial security. SHE CHOOSES to live together. She does not get a job or go to school to enhance her value in the job market. HE does treat her well, but not as a beloved wife. Johnadp criticizes the husband for insisting on the abortion. Note that the husband is a character. The author doesn't have to write him as a pure "White Hat" good guy. BUT, the choice of the abortion is HERS. She chooses the financial security that the living arrangement with her husband offers over the life of the baby. She could have gotten the divorce, had the baby, and kept it or put him up for adoption. Instead, she chooses the Benjamins. As for her subsequent life, SHE could have chosen at any time to get the divorce. She is not in any sense a wronged or sympathetic character, but there is a kind of feminized male that can easily be made to "feel sorry for the little woman." What's good about the story is that the author has created some interesting, complex characters. Even though he seems to have disappeared from Literotica, he should be pleased that his characters are developed enough to generate such strong reactions. One criticism I would lodge is the insertion of the old "offshore accounts" cliche. It hasn't been possible to hide money overseas for a very long time, and family courts will use contempt and other powers to force disclosure. Lawyers are also all too happy represent spouses looking for offshore money because the offending spouse will have to pay the lawyer's legal fees. Authors should stop using it.

The husband, on the other hand, trusts his wife and encourages her modeling activities, subject to some reasonable limitations."

Actually, I'm not a feminized male but I do feel sympathy for the wife. Unlike the Anonymous commenter, I look at her infidelity as a single episode that spiraled out of control. I don't think the husband was wrong to feel as he did, but I think, if he really looked deeply, he'd see that his punishment is more harsh than anyone should have to suffer. I mean, either keep her or dump her. Keeping her around is the husband playing the victim card: she cheated and betrayed your trust so you're going to put her in purgatory for the rest of her natural life?! Seems a bit extreme and cruel.

That said, she made her bed, she should have been woman enough to just walk away. I know I'd probably feel that I would have to plot to kill him over that time, if it were me. I mean, I'd be like "yeah, I fucked up but, wow, what an asshole...I guess I made him that, but I can't live like this and I might as well keep more of what I've earned for the times that I wasn't a faithless slut. But that's just me...

"what it says about any society who feels it really acceptable to get rid of any beings that are helpless, can't speak for themselves, or able to defend themselves from negative actions, all because it would be inconvenient to have them around?"

I get it, you're "anti-abortion". But:

a) EVERY SOCIETY has had abortions. So, the only thing it says about a society is that it IS a society.

b) EVERY SOCIETY feels it's acceptable to do what it wants with people who can't stand up for themselves. That's just human nature. It's why we have to fight for the people who can't fight for themselves.

c) To me, until you're born, you're not a person. You might have person potential, but a fetus doesn't do enough--in my mind--on its own to qualify as a person.

d) It'd be one thing if anti-abortionists--I can't call the majority of them "pro-life" because they don't seem to care much about life AFTER it's born--had a reasonable, humane plan for the babies that people don't want. But they don't. They don't have a plan for actual PEOPLE who need help, so why are they so FOR making people have babies they don't what to have? Because a) they're really only interested in having more WHITE fetuses. They probably WANT women of color to have abortions, for the numbers' sake. They would never admit that, though. b) they really don't care about people who are defenseless and without a voice, especially defenseless people of color.

personally, I doubt I would have an abortion, but I know a couple of people who have. And it, apparently, was the right decision for them. I don't have any children and, while I have mourned that in the past, I now see it as a blessing for the earth. We have too many people already, and way too many NEGATIVE people. These negative people will end up destroying the earth. People are no more special then a fly or a plant or an elephant. Too many without a natural predator will destroy the ecosystem, as we're seeing. So, abortions, while, to me, distasteful and an emergency reaction, don't offend me. I feel like a parent has done the potential baby a favor of saving them from the incredible indifference of societies once they are in fact born [the wrong color, gender, religion, ethnic group, etc].

Just doesn’t quite work for me

Purely as feedback, and accepting this is fiction, I have rather struggled with this tale. Putting aside the wife’s rather too rapid descent into pornography ( artistic license?) and the emotive subject of abortion within a storyline, I found the ending rather unsettling.

Within this genre I have no issue with either BTB or RAAC or even something in between, but this ending somehow leaves me feeling I have a slightly dirty taste in my mouth and a desire to go and wash my hands. The treatment of the wife for ten years with the son and his wife condoning the father in laws treatment of his wife ( my late wife would have been asking a LOT of questions of both the father in law and his son if mother in law was missing trips as described in the text ) makes it appear that the ending is ‘let’s all abuse a woman for years because she cheated etc, whilst completely ignoring the first twenty years as a mother and wife ‘

As I said it’s just fiction but it in my very humble opinion this ending takes the husband from any moral high ground as the wronged spouse to just a nasty and abusive spouse. The ending has some rather distasteful echoes of the real life behaviour of abusers.

For all I know, That may well have been what the author was trying to achieve but it feels rather jarring and unsatisfying rather than as some sort of over the top payback for her cheating etc. To coin a phrase I’d say close but no cigar on this tale, just doesn’t quite work and I’m not sure exactly why, but somethings missing from the narrative somewhere.

This was a wonderful story. Barb thought she was on top of the world with Lou fucking her regularly and she was fucking Ken daily. Then came the Friday night party and while being taped, she fucked several guys including strangers. Then she lost the love of her husband and soon after that she lost the regular sex with Ken too. She was stuck in a dreary life of the housewife and slut of Lou. She totally fucked up her life and she will die a lonely woman, all because she wanted to have it all and did not think she would have gotten caught cheating on her loving husband. Instead, she risked it all and lost. Great story. 5 stars!!!!!

Using parentheses for remarks is dumb. Have you ever seen a real author do that? No, there's a writing technique called action beats which are used with dialogue tags to infuse dialogue with context, visual reference, emotion, and timing. This was a good story, but as OP's work shows, he doesn't know when to end a story. Most good writing has a beginning, a middle, and an end--the so-called "three-act play" format. Overwriting infects about 90% of all amateur fiction because these writers don't use a separate editor and cannot self-edit. So, as a sponsor is to an AA member, a good editor is to a writer.

There were so many plot twists, resolutions, and outcomes that were not explained or cast off with one or two sentences that this was a difficult read and not enjoyable. The epilogue seemed more like an adult diaper than a closing vignette. These writers need to read the definition of 'epilogue.' This story ended in such a way that I think the writer had all these loose and messy threads hanging out, so he/she scribbled the chaotic end mess we see above.
