One of my favorite stories on this site

[AvoidingRealWork]

Beach Party by SeaCat

I just want to say that I love this story on so many levels.

I've been meaning to write a long, philosophical article about my feelings on the nature of human sexuality. How sex is a celebration of life in the face of death, among other things.

This story embodies so much of how I feel. And it's damn sexy to boot.

Thank you, SeaCat.

All I can say honestly is thank you.

You know, probably about a hundred authors logged eagerly into this thread, only to backclick as soon as they saw it wasn't them! Must have been pretty nice for SeaCat to see his name

Hope you voted and left a nice PC, ARW...

Left a comment just now, but I don't see it attached to the story. Is there a delay?

Yes, there is often a bit of a delay.

ARW,

I just read your comment. Again thank you.

In one way this story was the hardest one for me to write. I deal with Cancer Patients on a daily basis. I see what they go through and what they have to deal with. (I actually wrote this story for one of my patients, a young lady all of 25 who had undergone a Hysterectomy. Her Husband had left her while informing her that because she could no longer have children she was no longer a woman.)

On the other hand this was also one of the hardest stories I have ever written. Like I said I deal with Cancer Patients on a daily basis. I see what they deal with. I see how people react to their scars. I see how people react to them when they learn they have cancer.

My society has some strange ideas on sexuality. It claims openess while at the same time imposing limits on what is acceptable. It claims open mindedness while telling us who should be sexual and in what ways. I disagree with much of it. (My stories tend to point that out.)

I will read the rest of your stories when I get a chance.

Wish I could read at work .

There are many here who are much better at writing than I am. Your time may be better spent checking out their works.

Don't be so modest. You write very well.

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

Now don't you DARE say that! Why do you think I was so flattered when you wrote the one for me?

And, honestly... it still makes me cry.

 

[SeaCat]

This coming from you is great praise indeed. (And you damned well know it, I still pass on your story to people.)

Thank you dear one. I'm still trying to write a sequal to it, but how to make it as strong?

I don't know if you would be able to. At least not as powerful to me. Not just because of the content, but because it mirrors what's happened in an odd way... and it shows how far I've come. Which makes no sort of sense, but there it is.

 

[SeaCat]

...and I'm still flattered that you like it so much.

Any story that can grab me by the balls and tug, hard, in such a short piece is worthy of reading many times in my book. Your story did that and more. It is in a binder with the very few stories that I constantly go back to.

So far I haven't been able to. Each time I have written a story I put it to the side and go back to it after a while. When I read it, it seems to fall apart. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone, but there is something that keeps calling me back to it. There's a story there that is itching to come out, a story that needs to be told. Maybe one day I'll get it right. When I do you'll know it.

You keep coming back to it because the story's not done. It's far from over. In fact, it's just getting started. There's so much still there... The reactions of the people who know them both, and at the office, and the struggles that come with families that disapprove of the match... Hell, you know exactly how tough that can be. It's actually pretty well estranged me from my family because of certain things.

If the story itself continues to parallel mine, like it seems like it will, they'll continue on despite all of that. She'll follow him nearly anywhere. And he'll change, too... if the story parallels mine, he'll become even more sensitive to her needs, and will be able to read her better, and eventually get to the point of being able to laugh at things that most people would get pissed off about. A case in point - I walked in and caught him jacking off to porn this morning, and we ended up laughing about it for well over an hour. We just got the giggles and couldn't stop. At the beginning of this whole thing that would have ended the relationship.

And, eventually, she'll be able to stand up to him when he gets angry. She'll learn to fight back. And will earn his respect for it.

And throughout the whole process, they're learning each other. Where they like to be touched. Rediscovering themselves - what feels good to them - which is a long, hard process. Sometimes even admitting that sex feels good at ALL is hard. Especially after something like what that character went through. I should know.
