Looking for 2nd person stories

I posted this on "Story Ideas" but maybe it fits better here:

I'm looking for more stories told in the 2nd person, I/you format. (I.e. the author writes the story to a specific person and both are part of the action.) I'm specifically interested in stories where the "I" is male.

I know there are stories like this on Lit, but you have to look hard to find them because they aren't in a category all by themselves.

What are your favorite I/you stories that I could look up here?

I think that when 'I' is used, then it's told in the first person isn't it?

My stories all start out in the first person because they are all written for a specific person but I usually change them into the third person because people seem to like them better.

I do have a couple first person narratives on cliterati but they are from the woman's viewpoint. I also have one blogged draft on 360 which has two male first person viewpoints but I'm not sure how successful it is. People seem to like it though. I'm not putting it on Lit without some work though. The critics here can be fearfully harsh! :).

I'll send you links if you want :)

I'm talking about stories told to "you," which is the 2nd person. (It just so happens that when talking to "you" there's usually an "I" somewhere.)

I don't know if you have what I'm looking for, but I'll gladly take a look at your links.

Thanks,

We are confused -

You are looking for Second Person (maybe First, but you aren't sure) stories. What Genre? There are several hundred thousand stories on Lit. Maybe 30% or more of them are written in either first or second person.
 
There is no "I" in second-person voice. It's all "you." If the narrator talks as "I," it's first-person, even if the narrator talks to/about "you."

Think you need to be a little clearer about what you'd like to read.

Okay, whatever we want to call them--1st person, 2nd person or whatever--I'm looking for stories written to "you" which also have an "I" in them.

As for genre I think "Erotic Couplings" would be best, but I'd consider other genres too.

Like most writers here, I avoid second person like the plague, because it's usually the kiss of death to a story. Second person is a spoken POV, Justin Timberlake and Brad whisper in my ear.

Having said that, there are a bundle of yooo stories here that I would counsel you to leave alone. I've only ever found two that I thought were really good .

Try Glynndah's 'Shopping at Walmart'

And Impressive's 'The Second Person'

Both jewels in an otherwise barren land
 
Hi,

Just a virgin around here so don't want to seem like I'm butting in, but, i think what you want is what is sometimes called a God's Eye view. It's where you can see and hear everything or part of what some or all of the characters are thinking and doing.

Just a notion. Try searching God's Eye viewpoint stories?

No, 'God's Eye'or 'omniscient' is third person. The narrator - not you the author - can float above all the scenes and read what all the people are thinking. Anything less restricts what you can narrate, and first/second POV is the most restrictive.

links PM-ed to you.
 
You can find them yourself next time by using search, but using advanced techniques. Setting up the fields to search story text then put a phrase in the search text box that is likely to pull up what you're looking for. For instance, "I watch you take my cock in your mouth". That should work, being that you wanted 2nd person from a male perspective.

but . . . but . . . but . . . the example given is 1st person, not 2nd person. You can't have a subject "I" in 2nd person.

2nd person of this would look like this: You watch her as she takes your cock in her mouth.
 
Thanks, everyone.

Actually I did find a bunch of stories like this by searching Lit using advanced search options and typing in "second person stories."

Thanks again,

That's great, but either I'm confused or you didn't explain what sort of story you were looking for very well. But it's great you actually found what you wanted on your own.
