I’ve been publishing I/T stories on Literotica for over ten years. I rarely get requests from readers, but the number one request is for me to write mother-son stories. At one point, I got into it with a fellow author when he requested that I write a mother-son story because I told him that my “brand” was to write plausible I/T stories and that I didn’t think mother-son stories were plausible. Every so often, I’d get a request that I write a mother-son story, and I always replied “Nope.”
The reasons why I think mother-son stories are so implausible:
* Young men are attracted to women their age or younger. They aren't attracted to women much older than them
* Reflective of the above, there are almost no famous couples where she's much older than him. There used to be Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, but they divorced and Kutcher married the five-year-younger Mila Kunis. On the other hand, there are many, many couples where the man is much older than the woman
* I don't think a typical mother-son relationship lends itself to turning romantic. The mom is typically the nagger, the one who makes you eat your vegetables. Very much a relationship where the son is treated as immature
* In traditional man-woman relationships, he's the breadwinner. In our society, a man is expected to be independent of others, capable of standing on his own two feet. A son can't be that in a typical mother-son relationship. Quite the opposite. So a mother-son relationship would keep the son from growing into what society expects of him
* Having sex would destroy the parent-child relationship, and I think most mothers would be very, very hesitant about giving that up
I think most mother-son stories get around this by at some point having the roles reverse - the son begins acting like the older adult and the mother begins acting like someone who's much more sheltered. Frequently, she acts like someone who finds sex new and exciting. I think that's the real appeal of those stories - the overturning of a relationship where the man has always been the one bossed around. But writing that type of story doesn't appeal to me.
Let me quote an academic paper from 2015. "Studies from evolutionary and social psychology have also suggested that heterosexual mate choice can be conceptualized as a “trade,” whereby, for example, men offer wealth in exchange for female youth (e.g., Pawłowski & Dunbar, 1999; Pawłowski & Koziel, 2002; Baumeister & Vohs, 2004)." Dad-daughter relationships could be viewed as such a trade. Mother-son relationships are bad on both sides of the "trade". That paper mentioned that the average age difference between a male Fortune 400 CEO and his wife when he married/remarried was 22.32 years.
Yes, there are exceptions. If 99% of guys aren’t interested in women older than them, that still leaves a lot of guys who don’t rule older women out. However, making my incest stories at least somewhat plausible is very important to me and, to me, writing a mother-son story is like starting a fight with one hand tied behind my back.
So, I always ignored requests to write a mother-son story. And then one day, I read a thread on the Story Ideas entitled, “Mom and Step-mom compete for son”. That gave me an idea for a mother-son story that would troll all those people who requested me to write a mother-son story. I’d lay out the case why mother-son stories are so implausible and overturn a bunch of other tropes.
The first thing I did was make the Main Male Character act like an eighteen-year-old male. He’s immature, he makes bad decisions, and he has wild emotional swings. He is not someone who would appeal to a mature woman. At one point, he thinks about what he wants, and he decides, “I wanted the summer to be over…I wanted to be at college, making a bunch of new friends, finding a great girlfriend, and having a blast.” He is not interested in his mom or his stepmom.
The MMC alternates weeks at his mom’s house and at his dad’s house. At his mom’s house, his mom regularly lectures him on how he should behave after he leaves home. She expects him to do his laundry, clean his room, and cook his own meals, but, otherwise, he’s free to do as he wants, and he spends his day hanging out with his friends. At this dad’s house, his stepmom constantly puts him to work cleaning, and he resents it. At one point, he and his stepmom have a big fight. He tells her that his dad has always been a horndog, that he probably cheated on his mom, and that he was probably cheating on her. “Dad’s no happier with you than he was with Mom. The reason he dumped Mom and married you is that he thought as a successful businessman he deserved a trophy wife. That’s all you are to him.”
Later, the MMC and the stepmom make up and go out to dinner and an art museum while his dad is traveling for work. When he gets back to his mom’s:
The story goes on. The MMC fucks his stepmom in order to get her pregnant. Back at his mom’s house, his mom is irate and lectures him again. He goes out and does some yardwork. When his mom comes out to check on him, he tells her “I feel like I should be taking more responsibility around here. You know, be more of the man of the house.” The son becoming the man of the house is very common in mother-son stories. A little later, the mom disabuses him of the idea:
That evening, the MMC fucks his mom. It’s not the typical romantic, loving seduction:

Later, the MMC and the stepmom make up and go out to dinner and an art museum while his dad is traveling for work. When he gets back to his mom’s:
“I think you shouldn’t have gone out on a date with your stepmother.”
“It wasn’t a date. We just went out. And I thought you and I could go out this week. Go to a nice restaurant and then go someplace interesting like a museum.”
“I don’t think you should go on a date with your mother. Particularly dressed up like some wannabe Lothario. You should be dating girls your own age.”
The story goes on. The MMC fucks his stepmom in order to get her pregnant. Back at his mom’s house, his mom is irate and lectures him again. He goes out and does some yardwork. When his mom comes out to check on him, he tells her “I feel like I should be taking more responsibility around here.

Mom said, “You know, you’ll never be the man of this house.” She added lovingly, “You’ll always be my son.”
I smiled. “And you will always be my mom.”
“I want you to be the man of your house someday. But it’s something you have to grow into. I don’t want to force too much responsibility on you too soon.” Before I could respond, Mom added, “I wish I hadn’t had the responsibility of raising a child thrust on me so soon.” She shook her head and added wistfully, “I wish I would have gone to college. I wish I would have spent those years studying and dating. I wish I had gotten a job and worked for a couple of years before becoming a stay-at-home Mom.” Mom searched for words for a few moments. “Growing up sucks. Responsibilities suck. Be an irresponsible kid for as long as you can. Then when it’s time for you to be responsible, to be the man of a house, embrace that responsibility.”
“And now isn’t the time to be responsible?”
“Be appropriately responsible. I mean, yard work and washing your car are appropriate things for you to do. Don’t take on any more responsibilities than that. I want you to be happy. I don’t want you to have regrets like I do.”
That evening, the MMC fucks his mom. It’s not the typical romantic, loving seduction:
Mom put her hand on the bed and used it to help her stand up. She said with anger and disgust in her voice, “But you didn’t come in here to get your cock sucked, did you? I sucked your cock all last week in your bedroom, and you were happy with that. But now after fucking that bitch all week, you want more, don’t you?” Mom let that hang in the air for a few moments.
Mom got onto the bed while holding onto my cock, forcing me to follow her. She kicked off her high heels. “So what did you come in here for, son? What were you wanting to do tonight?” Once I was on the bed with Mom, she released my cock and scooted back until she was in the middle of the bed. “What’s wrong, Bryson? Cat got your tongue?”
I couldn’t bring myself to say I had come here to fuck my mom. What kind of sick person tells their mom that they want to fuck her? I had been hoping to fuck Mom tonight, but I had pictured us hugging and kissing first, and then things would naturally heat up until we were fucking. There was nothing romantic about what we had done so far. It was like Mom was submitting to me and dominating me at the same time.
Mom said tauntingly, “You came in here to be a bad boy, didn’t you? To do something no son should do with his mom.” Mom sat up and put her hands on my shoulders. She pulled me forward. “Well, if you aren’t going to use your tongue for talking, let’s find another use for it.” Mom pushed my shoulders down so my head moved towards her crotch. As my head got close, she slid her hands up to the sides of my head. My mouth was now inches away from her pussy. “Go ahead, bad boy. Lick Mommy’s pussy. Give her a good licking, and Mommy will give you what you came in here for.”

It turns out, his mom also wants to get pregnant. After the fuck, it’s not the typical romantic post-sex scene:
I leaned down to kiss Mom. She brought her hand up and stopped my descent. “You are not my lover. You are my sperm donor with benefits. Kissing is not one of those benefits.” I was disappointed Mom wouldn’t let me kiss her. I had felt so close to my mom in that moment, so much in love, but now she was pushing us apart.
I pulled out of Mom. I lay down on my side next to her. I started to reach my hand forward to lovingly stroke her body when Mom said, “Now, go to your bedroom.”
My jaw dropped. “I thought we’d sleep together.”
“You’re far too old to be sleeping with your mother. Now, get out of here.” Mom gently shoved me away from her.
