Doc, you definitely have a rare talent, although in this piece it is more your humanity that comes through. Oracles are all-seeing...men are not.
In some ways, you have indeed rendered starkly transparent some of the emptiness and dysfunction of sexuality in our increasingly impersonal, consumerist world. But other things, dear M, are opaque. True, they have no place in this story...what goes on in the multitude of other apartments and offices in your city remains hidden. As a reader, I can only grasp them by imagining that Jade from the Conqueror Frog is out there, somewhere, living uptown. Or I can feel it in my own mind, where sometimes you reach very deeply and other times you don't.
But this is a brave piece. Erotica that confronts the profound sadness and loneliness that can be part of sexuality, that doesn't shy away from exposing how isolated people can be, even when they're fucking each other. In a genre that so often values instant gratification and smut that serves as nothing more than a vehicle for the mental orgasm, this is a bold (albeit sad) statement.
I admire you for "having the balls" to call it like you see it. With gentle respect, however, Doc -- you don't see everything. Not all the world is a glass stage.
"Lizards", huh? Hmmmm...
Cheers,
AriO

Knocked me on my ass!
Doctor: This is as powerful a piece I've read here, or for that matter, almost anywhere. I'm not an afficionado of the 'BDSM' genre and wouldn't normally have read this piece if it weren't for the profound remarks written by "Arioso." Doctor, thank you for an incredible tale. It seems ludicrous to see this posted among the many juvenile offerings disseminated here. And, "Arioso," thank you for bringing this story to my attention.
Thought I left on comment on this before. Oh Well, gives me the chance to once again reread it. You are as ever cutting edge. I think that the man and the women are not new, origional or current cutting edge. I think it has ever been so in civilizations that are turning to pleasure of whatever kind they can find to kill the numbness of their days. You have taken us there, fit us into the landscape and let us feel the denial, the lust, the heat and the shame and the numbness. Great Job as ever.
This has to be the most original and thought provoking piece I've ever read on Literotica. Dr M has taken a very real slice of life in the fast lane, in the city of glass, and exposed it for what it is.
With the exceptional talent that he has, he has created something so vivid, so starkly real and psychologically complex that it leaves one feeling both the intense erotic excitement and the terrible shallowness of their lives.
A remarkable piece of erotic literature from the best writer on this site.
