Well written, but I don't get this dynamic from either side so I find it unpleasant not erotic. Not voting since it is not fair for me to do so. Perhaps the next one will hit the right spot for me. Please keep writing and posting....:)

So

very eventful story. Did not like it much, found it very predictable. One HUGE surprise thou to find the author to be a GIRL. What is your problem?? Now be a good girl, and do your homework. Thank you for no racial shit.

Oh yeh

not erotic at all, have to agree. 2 dudes??? Learn how to write about 1 first. Sorry, for being rude, it is macho in me talking and not me. Normally I am nice, very nice.

I appreciate your feedback

I'm new to writing erotica. This is, in fact, the second piece I've ever written in the genre. If you have any specific pointers, please feel free to message me!

more feedback and a mild rant for all authors...:)

Sorry to drop all this in comments but I don't message. I want to explain what didn't work for me. I know there are many who are just the opposite in their tastes, but also that I am not alone in mine. I like bondage and domination but abhor humiliation. Thus what springs from humiliation is fruit of the poisoned tree. The concept of 'you know you like it' is so common, yet so much can cause a physical response. The body can go ballistic while the brain is screaming no and meaning it. That is tantamount to rape to me. Scenes with such surprise forced activity (especially with evil glee from don/ddomme) make me want to know where the hell that came from. His fantasy? Discussed limits list? Domme whim? Many have the full blow rape fantasy with all the fear and horror. I think many confuse the rape fantasy with just wanting to have the control/responability removed. I don't want to be made to do something, I want to be made to want to do something and respected if I ultimately don't. I like fiction that respects that. Why are authors so reluctant to exorcise safewords? The force fantasy is strong, but think of the other new paths that can be taken. Stopping one activity opens another. All we subbies seem to get is the force and ugliness and are told it is what we want. When I read a tale with a strong dom showing care/respect during the scene it pushes my buttons. A soft pat on the head and a 'see you came so you liked it' after do not suffice. Because a physical response was forced does not mean it is now 'what we were born to be.' Name calling is another trigger. I am not a slut, whore, bitch etc... . I don't get wanting to be called those names. That it frees the real me, it takes away the power of the word, that the rage I feel is erotic, blah blah,blah. No. Words mean things and these do not mean good things. I may be the most cock hungry voraciously sexual desperate for him person, but I am not a s/w/b, even his. I have 'walked away' from stories that are too fond of name calling. (I've made whiney comments on some that I have otherwise liked.) I've read stories with strong doms who push boundries and demand much from their sub but do not use humiliation/degradation to do so. Those are the strongest stories to me. Those are the ones that make me want to kneel down. The top reviewed story is one of respectful submission. If you haven't read, it I recommend you and other authors do so. Read through the reviews. Hundreds of positive reviews. Can any humiliation story come close? We are out here and just as desirous of getting off to good story as the humiliation crowd. Again, I am sorry for the vent. Your story wasn't even extreme in the use of humiliation but those were the eliments I didn't like. You are a strong writer and I truely hope to read more from you. Okay, now I need some aftercare.......:D

to each his (or her) own

It always surprises me when people leave negative feedback about a story because the reader was not turned on by it. In this case, one reader dislikes humiliation in his literotica, so he negatively responds when that is a central theme. Similarly, the reader who is turned off by male on male action makes that a reason why the story is no good.

One of the great strengths of this site is the breadth of the sexual subject matter. So broad, in fact, that it is almost guaranteed that only a minority of stories will actually arouse any one individual.

For many, though, the themes in this story are mainstays of their fantasies: male submission, sexual humiliation and degradation, verbal denigration, orgasm control, and of course "forced bi."

So, to me, the success of the writing is not measured by whether the story "works" for any individual reader based on its themes (because any story will turn off lots of readers no matter how well it is written), but rather whether the story succeeds for those who are aroused by the very themes utilized.

By that standard, I think this story is excellent. The characters are well-drawn and believable, the story is realistic and sexually charged, and the emotional ties of the two main protagonists are apparent.

And by the way, I disagree with the reader who drew parallels between this story and one where the sub is presented as a "non-entity" whose desires are not given any weight (as in a rape scenario.) I think Michael's interests and desires are very clearly on display in this story, demonstrated by his willingness (eagerness?) to drop to his knees to continue the act that may on some level disgust him, but in this roleplay scene, is also the driver of his arousal. That is a totally voluntary act on his part, and his Domme, who obviously knows him well from their past history, is pushing the very buttons that Michael desires to be pushed.

You KNOW it's bad....

When the comments make for better reading than the story. Although the one commentator gave what seemed to be a college lecture on different facets of Literotica. His point that not every story is for everyone seems to be in keeping with the comments people make about different "types" of stories. I think that some people just like to complain about things they either don't agree with or find distasteful. If you're an author you need to either have tough skin, disable the comments section, or ignore them.

oh wow and oh dear

Thank you for posting both your stories. I enjoyed them greatly.

To say they are poorly written because the reader does not share the fantasies of the author is a nonsense. As a habit when I read a story, I go to the last page and see what tags the story has been given. That way if there are things which are less likely to appeal I simply won't read them. When I write, I write for me. If I then share those stories and you don't share my tastes please stop reading. I would never "kink shame" a reader, why do so many feel they have the right to do so with the contributor.

I have noticed that you have only written the two stories, what I hope most is that the feedback and criticism you have received has not stopped you writing.

For one, I love the humiliation. It was there and blatant, yet without the Domme being uncaring. This is a very fine balance to walk, you did it admirably. The characters are as developed as needs be. The bull is more a plot device than a character so obviously needs less "humanising". The dynamic and intensity between The Domme and Michael was well established, as was their mutual enjoyment of their interactions. These were clearly persons engaging in a fun, consensual and engaging BDSM relationship. Okay was it made abundantly clear that safe words and limits had been discussed previously? No. However one can believe quite easily that they had been. Does every BDSM story now require an obligatory "limits had been discussed in advance" paragraph before it counts as non-con. Some of us play in the real world too, CNC (Consensual Non Consent) is a real thing too.

If I have one piece of constructive feedback it would be this. As I said earlier I look at the tags of the story and knew there was going to be a bisexual element to the story, I loved the "forced" bi dynamic so no problems here so far. Even if I hadn't seen the tags I knew when it changed. You went from "her mouth" and "his Mistress' hand" to "the mouth"...etc. It was similar to a horror film where the sole character is off centre, so one knows the big evil is about to enter from the empty space. While we know it is still the Domme perhaps use a generalised term or similar for her or continue using "her" until the big reveal. If that is my biggest complaint you have done very well indeed.

You have a gift, I hope that you are still writing, enjoying doing so and do so for you not others. Thank you again.
