Violence, yes or no?

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

I can't remember if that's taboo here or not.
Working on a story where the guy has a temper and can be abusive, but I can't remember if that's allowed here.

Provided it doesn't turn to snuff or rape, no problems with violence.

Best not to make it too gratuitous, though, just in case. Laurel's squick factor can be variable, based on previous commentary here on AH.

It's allowed, but I imagine you could trigger Laurel's reaction if it was too graphic or drawn-out.

I've read some. I've written some. Three people have been killed so far in the course of 'A Valentine's Day Mess.' In my most recent story, the female protagonist was beaten by her husband before the start of the story and when the story starts she's bruised and has a broken rib.

I try to make the violent scenes quick.

I've written a few violent scenes, including one involving a death. I've had no problems getting them accepted.

Sounds like something I want to read

I guess he can't rape her then, unless in the end she enjoys it.

Yeah, I think that's a rule. You can nuance that--it isn't rape, it's just rough sex that's only enjoyable for him and he mostly likes it because of the violent domination. It's a good place to avoid injury from the violence.

Almost 50 years ago I read a book about the legal complexities of rape cases in the US. At that time it was very difficult--but possible--to prosecute a case where a man was accused of raping his wife.

'A Valentine's Day Mess Part 3' includes scenes where the husband and his mistress conspire to rape his wife. Repeatedly, until she was apparently pregnant. That part of the story is in Central America before 1800. There's a complicated setup, and some rationalization about why it's okay, and--for the sake of the rules if nothing else--the wife is eventually aroused by it all.

If that is something you'd like to read then have at it. My stories are linked in my sig. Be forewarned that 'A Valentine's Day Mess' becomes a dense story, and only three of five parts have been written so far. On the other hand, the first three parts are actually most of the story.

I think it's context, really.

In my Novella submission, The Great Khan, the sex is rough more often that not, and could often be construed as rape. In chapter 2, there's one definite rape scene, where my main character Boldbator rapes a girl in the village he is currently plundering/destroying. He also coldly kills two other villagers in the same dwelling. Nothing snuffish, it's just war.

This is historical fiction, so I guess that's allowable, because the setting calls for it.

I guess my conclusion is that you need strong context for strong violence. I remember, ages ago, there was a dreadful story submitted in a section (might've been I/T) that culminated in a rape scene, a fight, and the woman breaking her attacker's neck. The spelling, grammar and general structure were so hideous, that it might have been a mercy killing, mind. Bewilderment overcame squick, maybe.

I've been super-violent in The Great Khan, sexually as well as combat. And it seems to pass the muster, so my conclusion is context. I'm glad, not just for my own story's sake, nor do I have a rape fetish, but because because it adds to the offerings and complexities of stories we can find in this site.

I've read at least one story series on Literotica where the narrator/protagonist was a female serial killer who brutally tortured and killed her victims. I forget the name. So the rule against violence, such as it is, can't be that strict. I'm confused about its application.

There is no rule against violence.

There is a rule against "Snuff," which includes arousal from violence even if not fatal.

Excessive or gratuitous violence might get a story rejected for "not being erotic" or "too extreme" but that is a judgement call by Laurel on what she's willing to publish -- pretty much in the same class as spelling and grammatical errors in a story that just isn't all that good.

If its against a woman its not just allowed its encouraged. The loving wives and other 'real men' factions here are huge and get off on it and the site loves to appeal to the baser part of their readership, even though it drives other readers away, just like the General Board is her pet forum despite what the trolls there do to people.

Against men is acceptable as long as its not any type of castration because that upsets the same demographic I just spoke of. Short of snuff you can do anything you want to a woman, and mostly anything to a man, but the readers will flame you if you do to much to the man

Tod172 has an entire series of stories about military operators. It's often violent, dark and pretty stark. It's also incredibly well written. His writing is a cut above most of what you find on Literotica.

If his stuff isn't censored, I don't think that anything else that isn't overly prurient in nature would be problematic.

Todd172 is pretty good isn't he. The violence is there but it's not over the top on the context of the stories...

There are a few tags that can’t be used but, other than that, I’ve had no issues posting stories that utilize mild forms of violence that are necessary to contribute to the “happily ever after” story being toldKant

 

[LaRascasse]

To sum up...

If it's under 18, barks or is dead, don't fuck it. Feel free to kill it though, as long as you don't get a hardon in the process.
