I submitted a story in the “Loving Wives” category called “An Angel on My Shoulder”. It dealt with adultery, as I take it most stories in this category must. A husband and his loving wife having lawful wedded sex are doing something wonderful and estimable, but nobody is interested in reading about them.
My own story was inspired by the discovery by a relative of a pile of old letters. Her father had been separated from his mother by service in WWII, and had cheated on her. Their marriage wasn’t a casualty of war, and survived more than fifty years until her father’s death. I tried to think of other stress factors short of a world war which might cause an otherwise decent and loyal husband to stray. I settled on unemployment for him and breast cancer for his wife. I was particularly interested in exploring the thought processes leading to choosing infidelity, where exactly the moral syllogism jumps the rails.
I was rather astonished at the outpouring of vitriol against the protagonist in the story, and by extension against anyone wicked enough to write such a thing. I thought I made clear my own attitude towards cheating on your wife: it is not only immoral, but something which tarnishes your soul and your very identity. In real life I believe it to be a sin against God as well as the wronged wife. However I evidently failed to be as religious as some of my critics.
I gather from other commentators such as the estimable “luedon” that I wasn’t being singled out, but was just the latest target in an ongoing “Loving Wives” imbroglio. I’d therefore like to explore, I’m sure not the first time, just why readers of pornographic fiction are so moralistic about marital infidelity.
I’d like to present the following questions:
1. Under what circumstances may infidelity be treated in a Literotica story? Are we subject to a revival of the Hollywood Production Code, which allowed depiction of adultery only if the guilty parties die a horrible death in the last reel?
2. A significant number of readers on this site switch their mouse from the dominant hand to the weaker in order to better appreciate what these stories have to offer. What right do these wankers have to whine about adultery? Would they refuse to watch “Double Indemnity”, where the cheaters are also murderers? Would they be willing to read Madame Bovary?
3. If sexual fidelity is vital and indeed definitional in marriage, how can my critics tolerate gay marriage, where fidelity seems to be the exception rather than the rule?
Thank you.
