Would you read erotica that started with a funeral?

[KeithD]

A short story doesn't really start until a dilemma is provided. A funeral is a good as any way to start. One of my most recent GM stories started with one. "Back on Track."

[TarnishedPenny]

Absolutely. Harold and Maude met at a funeral. Lots of twisted possibilities.

So did Chariots of Fire, IIRC.

 

[RockyMountainMan2]

Well, a cremation, to be accurate, followed by some brutal grief-fucking in the gents.

Yes/No? Well, I've never written anything quite like it before, so it meets the parameters of experimentation.

All you closet GMers, strange fiction is coming.

Cumming.

Did we ever resolve that argument?

And what up-coming competition category can I slide this into for a really good, no-lube trolling?

I would read it. I can't stand one dimensional erotica. life doesn't work that way, there are so many roads that lead up to a sexy adventure and I believe that makes the sex even better. plus, plot driven erotica is so much more exciting to write than just sex! Anyone can write about just sex

 

[Jada59]

I would.

 

[JugheadJane]

100% I would read it. Sounds like my kind of story! I’ve been brewing a similar one in my mind for a few weeks now.

Very glad to hear that. I suspect this one will be a fairly heavy piece, given it starts with the death of a much loved character. But like you, I find more entertainment from depth, than just skimming the top. It's more rewarding to write, providing I'm in the mood.

I like the depth you bring to your work. Very nice.

 

[JasonClearwater]

It's not quite a funeral, as per the OP, but I'm pulling at least a mild MelissaBaby with one of my stories in mid-write. It starts with an account of a traumatic childhood experience. The rest of the story generally involves the main character resolving that pain. I agree with MB and Kantarii that it adds more interest to erotica. (Or at least I hope it will, in this case...)

Therapy writing? At least half of mine is. Not autobiographical, but definitely working a few things out on the page.

Can't wait to read it!

Well....yeah!

I did a commission piece where a wife who found out her departed husband who she thought was faithful had been fucking every woman in sight and fucked his best friend in front of the casket with his picture facing them.

I have few limits when it comes to decency.

And that is what I love about you. Get that leg over here.

There is a hilarious episode of "In The Heat Of The Night" (yeah, the serious cop drama) where a guy dies and the wife/widow shows up. Then the wife/widow shows up. Then another. And another. I think there were 7 or 8 in all.

I've seen quite a few TV shows and movies where the Hot Widow is in mourning and faces various issues with family and .... friends. Some stories are serious, some comedic. Many of them could easily turn highly erotic.

I think even "Married With Children" did one after Al got zapped by some faulty holiday lights and gets guided by none other than Sam Kinison. I seem to recall a scene or two with Peg.

Jeez, use the other leg this time, I've got cramps in the one you keep going after.

 

[JasonClearwater]

Here, change your fucking... angle then. Jesus. Who taught you, just.. yeah, extend and... good. Okay. There you go.

 

[ausfet]

Funny you should say that. That was my first thought


Dane had never been to a funeral before. In the movies, it was always raining. People stood around, dressed in black, and there was always some hot bird crying into a hanky with a veil over her face.

This funeral didn’t have any rain. Or mourners. Or a graveyard. No grieving widow. Just Dane, and a pine coffin, and the furnace the coffin was about to slide into.

If those were the opening lines? God yes.

 

[bone251]

Family reunions and funerals are great places to pick up women.

I could see a story like this having a "dead end"

 

[Smoothshavendad]

Absolutely. I have witnessed a lot of naughty things in a funeral setting. I think that the reality of death unleashes some very primal carnal urges

 

[Kojak01]

I don't know about GM but I think I've read several stories (Romance, EC, Group, Mature) that started with a funeral. Maybe none that included a 'grief fucking' but they started with a funeral...

 

[weftandwarp]

I wrote one about a funeral, from beginning to end. It was rejected here. It was one voice until the very end. I think the format was the problem. I had everything in very short paragraphs to illustrate the teller's shortness of breath. I couldn't do it as prose so I put it in the category of poetry and it still didn't work. I withdrew it. The voice was that of the deceased, as her husband thought he was hearing it. She remembered the good times and finally she apologised to him for her threatening to suicide because he didn't buy her a jewelery item. He couldn't afford it. Unfortunately, she took too many of the tablets and didn't recover. I was very disappointed I couldn't put it up here. It is now a long time ago. I guess the trolls would have savaged it because it was different. I reread it a few months ago and the poignancy of it was still there, I cried. It had been written with the energy of my wife's funeral and it brought it all back. Her's was the strangest funeral. The heavens opened and hail stones the size of hen's eggs fell. I was driven home after because I hadn't slept for six days. As we drove through the avenues the road was covered in flowers the hail had knocked from the trees. It was special. I became reclusive after. Thirteen years. Still am really. There is a lot to consider and write about with funerals. I'd suggest it be done carefully. I found it too difficult to include the facts of any funeral I attended, it was too painful but I used the energy of them.

 

[Sara2000Z]

Yes, I would. I agree with others that stories are only interesting if the characters and/or the situations they find themselves in are compelling and a bit complicated or intriguing. Been to a fair few funerals in real life, and they are always fascinating (above or below the mourning aspect, obvs) for the mix of people, the gaps between them, and the surprising/shocking/visceral moments of intimacy. 'The Big Chill' - a pretty old movie, these days - begins with a funeral as the device to bring people back together after several years ... so I think it's got legs as a good starting point.

 

[MelissaBaby]

I like the depth you bring to your work. Very nice.

Thank you very much.
