The Girl with a Past

Nice

Your muse worked to perfection; great job! Excellent mention about "doing it for you". That little blurb tied it up nicely. Less is more! You wrote a beautiful story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.You got my muse going too. Hopefully in a few weeks we will see. Thank You Bucky, thank you!

Good 5 stars.

I would put a epiloge with wedding and a twins (girl-boy) not same to Jenna Jameson's (boy-boy).

i liked this

very good story, i have allways wonder is a guy could get past the idea of being married to a porn star. 5*

My compliments

Excellent story. Sometimes wonder how tough it is for girls in the adult indutries(porn stars, strippers, etc.) to find real relationships. Can see how it would be difficult for a guy to overlook the. Great job. Feel free to write more!

Seems like she wanted him to either just go or stay, and he did the latter. He knew what he was getting.

outstanding!

a very well written, and engaging story. thanks....

Very nicely done.

Really enjoyed it.

Good Job

Enjoyed this story....thanks, I really needed a good story after reading some of the wimp husband stories posted.

Pablum Fairy Tale Fantasy

I've matured / aged out of being a active porn consumer but definitely had my favorites '' in terms of the women performers. The truth" is that the big female adult stars are akin to athletes insofar as they have an intense but limited shelf life & once they are not in demand are ill prepared for real life.

They often have lingering drug problems & the hard life ... It ages them . Image google Jeanine Lindenmuller, Ginger Lynn, Jenna Jameson for examples .

The truth is time spent with someone like Cindy Sinn would probably reveal she's living off proceeds from dancing at topless clubs & used peddling used panties with signed glossy pics from her' prime time has had several unfortunate encounters with less then skilled plastic surgeons.

The topper is that she'll go heels up for any pusher who has her substance of choice - pills , coke, crank . You name it. Once women like this have been in the fast lane ; nice guys are only as useful to them as wallets to pay for their bad habits.

The author has skills. It's evident he's had some kind of access to the xxx movie scene. He is using that skill to whitewash what usually happens to women that have that kind of career for a significant duration.

This story could have happened but not bloody likely. As fiction goes this is stretched to fairy tale distortion. It would have been so much more interesting if he had kept "it " to some degree " real " .

I loved the story

Sort of like a romance story but very erotic.

Sweet and loving with a lot of passion.

One of those stories that it wasn't all about the sex.


Thanks for the read.

Great job

I agree, with all the porn stars, dancers , nude models, strippers, internet, and webcam after she is done exposing, can she get married and have kids, with what she did? Your story was refreshing. The second part of your last story was really good. More please

guess dawgg didn't like "Pretty Woman"

Millions did though, because entertainment entertains when it doesn't mirror real life. I don't want to read a story about having to change my daughter's diaper because her mom isn't home. Julia Roberts is the 'hooker who made good' or had a heart of gold or some shit, millions of women loved that movie because she was the exception and therefore her story was exceptional.

People don't read biographies of average people that never do anything unusual and nothing ever happens to them. We have front row seats to that boring story every day in our real lives.

I agree that women in the adult entertainment business often have rough lives: not just because of what that business does to you but usually stemming from the circumstances leading them into that career field. But it wouldn't be very uplifting to read a story about a used up hag who winds up strung out, turning tricks, in prison or dead.

So

Dawg you think all the thousands of girls on the internet stripping fucking doing live shows on cams could never lead a normal life, that they all got involved with drugs? Never get married, never have kids? Man that is cynical. I think the author did a fantastic story, not fairy tale exploration. Yeah she may have problems if people recognize her, but not live a normal monogomous life? I think your comment is the fairy tale.

Technical Problems

The dialog in the story was nicely handled; however, there are some technical problems that should be corrected:
Quote #1: "I know. I don't answer that question. I never have." She turned on her TV and inserted the DVD into its player."

Quote #2: "After using the chapter skip feature, she found the scene. She rewound the video ...."

I'm admittedly not an expert, but I don't think DVDs can be rewound.

Superb

Well written, interesting plot often thought if a girl was a pornstar how her life would turn out. Have you thought about the conflicts if they have kids, or with friends or coworkers hitting on her after they get married?

@ dual annonymous(es) cc my comment

The first comment pegged me dead on. I didn't like' pretty woman ' though Julia Roberts was " fine". I actually agree with most of the first comment- we're not here for '' more of the SOS ( same old shit).

That being said Bucky D. the author didn't even give the lead female character a slightly racy tattoo or SOME visible/ visceral trace that the woman had been peddling her ass for 10 years .

I love the premise of this story but outside of gadfly fans, it was too saccharine for my taste from beginning to end. If I had the skill to write this for instance : the two characters might have met at a 12 step meeting - Something to serve as counterbalance .

As to the 2nd anonymous comment- you too are correct in pointing out that many women quickly dip their toe in cesspool , mark some time , cash the check & get out relatively unscathed. In this story , the woman was a not a small player on the adult stage.

She put in a decade plus in a industry where the vast majority of women age almost in dog years. Don't take my word for it . Ginger Lynn is younger then me & was quite the fresh dewdrop in her heyday & could pass for my aunt . I tossed off so many times to Colledn Brennan - now she's grandma material . Sigh.

hey! I'm down with fairy tales like anyone else and don't begrudge those who have read & enjoyed this story their good time. I just prefer my illusions to be a scosh more' real'. Just my semi-humble opinion

Avoiding Cliches

Slamdawgg - Your comments are insightful and may be true for 99.9% of the industry. but I point to one of my favorite old school adult performers: Sharon Mitchell. No tattoos, has maintained her looks, is in your age bracket, and is well educated. For the sake of my narrative, I believe a single exception works. I respect more "grit" may have made a deeper, more enriching reading experience. I think I hint at some - being lied to, pierced nipples, and her refusing to have her tits done. Getting the audience to suspend disbelief is part of any work of fiction. Guess I failed you. Still, I would like to believe the premise of the story could happen: not every woman who ever entered the industry became broken. Maybe I'm wrong. I can live like that.

Liked it

I liked this story. I liked the premise of "life after a porn career." I liked that Nick knew Christie before she went into the business and how it picks up after she's there. I like the basic arch of the romance: explore the past, fall in love in the present. Contrary to Dawg, I liked that her life wasn't the cliche of a porn star -- hard life, filled with drugs and abuse. I don't think this applies to all and to think otherwise is a little cynical. But most of all, I liked Christie's character. She felt real, believable, strong, funny. Her dialogue jumps off the page. She's not embarrassed by what she's done, but she's also not overly proud. It feels very real. I can believe that woman was once a porn star.

What I wasn't too keen on was Nick. I cannot believe that I'm about to say this (if you've read anything I've done), but he's almost too much a gentleman. He ceases to be real to me. Too much to look beyond. I get that maybe, he's never looked at her on the internet out of respect (maybe). I get that maybe he doesn't get turned on watching the film when she's there (sort of, maybe, we're starting to stretch it now). And it's possible that he's genuinely not curious about her past (again, things are getting stretched thin now). But all of those combined just doesn't seem realistic for a guy. Even the most gentlemanly of one. I'd venture to think you're a female author were it not for your bio!

It didn't take more than a star off my like of this story, but with this premise and your character in Christie, I think this story has a lot more potential. That said, thanks for writing it!

Oh, and I don't think this is a Loving Wife story. I'd file under either romance (kind of?) or simply erotic couplings.

Romantic1 has a similar story "Discovery". In that story the husband does not know that his wife was a porn actress. They have 2 daughters and the girls went college and the pair remain in the empty nest..... Good story.

DGHear has 2 stories about young part time escort girls. Both are excellent stories.
"Finding the right woman"
"Built on lies"

Yes I read about Trinity Loren and her daughter catastrophic life.
Ciccolina's son somebody (parents of pupils or the teachers?) showwd his mother's porno foto works when the poor boy was only 8 years old.
etc.
Tracy Lord became normal movie actress or I do not follow Jenna Jameson's life but I read she has twins boys.

@ the honorable author Bucky Duckman

first I will start by thanking you for the work & skill you've put in this story & the other one with porn subplot . Even if I didn't care for the realism or the choices you made for the characters - I would be the first to admit you are not a hack writer .

The premises & settings you choose draw & hold my interest. It's your story , therefore their fate is yours to choose . I will freely admit to having the disease of '' wannabe author-itis" so take my critiques with a grain of salt.

There seems to be a misunderstanding insofar you & other commenters think the female character is doomed to be a busted-out skank after a decade in the porn industry. I heartily concur with your assessment of Sharon Mitchell. Nina Hartley & Christy Canyon also look great & lead fulfilling lives .

That being said most of the other goddesses of that era ... The more you know , the more you don't want to know . If I had the talent to write your premise - she would still be attractive but there woulda been some evidence if the life she lead.

Marlon Brando only became truly handsome when he broke his nose boxing backstage during a break of 'Streetcar named Desire' . The imperfection made him relatable. In terms of my personal taste - I couldn't relate to the characters - they came together too easily .

Check perhaps the movie '' Klute" with Jane Fonda as a prostitute & Donald Sutherland in terms of how I would have seen your two characters coming together Again ! Just my opinion.

Thanks again for inspiring me to think about my values. I may not agree with the paths & roads your plots & characters take but I respect & to some degree envy the skill that it takes to get to those points of departure .

A Good Story

A good interesting story with two good central characters, both quite beleivable. Yes some porn stars do make it out of the industry, and Nick is quite believable as the former army officer, whose interest is more taken with the production technique or lack of it than the porn itself. As he says he has made it a point not to watch porn starring her, not that he hasn't watched porn. Altogether a good plot and a pleasant read. One of the better ones on Lit

great dialogue

That is your strong suit, one of my best friends is a 10 year vet of hustler, vid porn, et. al, but the business has aged her. Can be a rough life, some of your dialogue reflects the hardness that comes from that career.

Great job as always

Very well written as always. You took the two emotional sides of the characters and delved into both extremely well.

As with KennyWright I find Nick to be "too good to be true" for the same reasons. I could see one of those points, but all of them combined are stretching it a bit.

I dated a girl who was a stripper for several years and cared about her very much. She had done "extras" in the past for more money, but by the time we were dating she was just performing and never did any videos. We never had problems with her dancing and stripping, and I never had any problems with her past. Now she has graduated college, has a fantastic job and family, and none of her past affects her, so the story is believable. The reason we broke up was more due to physical location (I got a job in another state) than the type of work she did. I state this because it is what made this story believable to me, having a weakly similar relationship. Very well done in portraying this aspect!

I also agree with the comments that ten years within the industry would place some sort of mark on her. If not physically, then psychologically. We're not privy to the inner thoughts and lives of ex-porn stars, but many that have gone on to lead normal, productive married and family lives I wonder what they sometimes think or how it has affected them.

Great story, well written...there just seemed to something off with how "goody two-shoes" both characters were with her past. Can't really put my finger on it but it was such an intriguing story I didn't mind any of those issues until after reading and thinking about it...so you did your job to keep at least this reader enthralled through the end!

Keep it up!

Learning to love someone for who they are, flaws and all, is sooooo important. I wish I could have met someone like Nick when I was dancing. Guys want you until they think they have you and then they become jealous of other guys seeing you. So stupid, but not this story. It read like a fairy tale to me, but I liked that.

I feel as if I'm stalking you by reading all your stories at one time. I started with your stories that include gloryholes and biguys. I wasn't sure what to expect from this story, but it sucked me in quickly because of the characters. I like Nick. I get him. I think he's okay. I've never dated a stripper or former porn star (I WISH!), but if she had left the business behind, I believe I could respect what she had done. Wish there had been more about her being recognized in public. I would not be afraid of having a girlfriend other people thought of as a slut. I would so date either one of the girls from your other two stories, "Forgetting Bradford." I think it takes an exceptional man to not be intimidated by a woman's sexuality.

Nice cameo

I liked the shout-out to "Doing It for You," nice touch.

Thanks James G 5 (and others who caught the reference). I smiled when I made the connection, took it out as being too cutesy, and then decided "screw it, it fits." Glad you agree and glad you took the time to read both stories!

Porn with real feeling? OUTSTANDING!

Good to have your head screwed on straight

Maybe 'screwed' and 'straight' have too heavy a connotation for my title...tough! (Future) Hubby had a great handle on the fact he liked his old lab-mate, and thought she was still there within the maturation and development of Sweetie. He also seemed to believe that she would see him as the eventual development of his history.
I also enjoyed the brief homage to the earlier story! Five stars!

Just Fair

I wouldn't be comfortable sitting with the love of my life as she explains and shows off her ten year porn career. Can such a woman be faithful to one man even if she loves him? I wonder...

Gotta love a girl who honestly loves sex

Paid or free, what's the difference?

Great story!

Loved this one. The development of the two personalities was very well done and reflects what is missing in so many porn videos and stories. I admit that I really like a little story with my sex scenes and this story provided it. It made me want to meet these folks. Thanks, Bucky!
