Can someone help me?

I updated my original post to include this footer:

UPDATE: I have a splitting headache and need pills. Sorry for posting under the influence. A very bad idea. I should know better.

Sorry everyone.

I keep telling you, Napdragon.

When you're sozzled you need to write stories, not forum posts 😂
Don't mention the Napdragon, that little swine killed me so many times on Fantasy Life... fighting a big headed dragon with a tiny iron sward, that is humiliation 😭

Oh wait you're talking about Em, well feel free to carry on then 😋

Some people get off on the idea of being humiliated. Every cuck story is about the man being made to feel 'less than'. Less than the other man, less than the wife, etc.
Is it? Or is it celebrating the attractiveness of the wife?

Hot wife stories, the ones where the husband is willingly and happily sharing, focus on the attractiveness of the wife. Cuck stories focus on the inadequacies and pain of the husband. Different, but related, although sometimes with overlap.
 
Oh, you'll be fine, Em. It's what you do. :love:

You know, if I wasn't in the process of closing-out my big story, your sense of mischief could so easily be the basis for one of my characters.

I think we've seen some posts above that show there are different variations, different motivations. I'm not going to point out the people who said that; it's all there. They are happy enough with it. Some focus on the wife, some on the husband. So be it.

A digression: since someone mentioned "slutty clothing," I think there is a joke that goes, "A slut is someone who has more sex than you do." In any case, I'm going to use it in a quote in a story.

It's equivalent to: "My kinks are daring and exciting, while your kinks are weird and squicky."

You're both being tongue-in-cheek? In my case I can't write anything coherent while under the influence of any substance. Full disclosure: I've never actually tried it; I just knew I was in no condition to attempt it.

This line of thinking is prevalent at Lit, unnervingly so in the AH.

Some of my bigger "a-has" have come engaging in content well outside my wheelhouse.

Feels like people (especially authors) are missing out by constricting themselves.

But it's been a really interesting thread though!
 
Way too many replies for me to read them all right now lol. So if I'm repeating others, my apologies.

I don't really get the "cuck" thing either. Although I often think "cuck" is misapplied in many cases.

A husband letting his wife fuck another man isn't automatically "cucked." It's just sharing/swapping.

When I think of "cuck" I think of humiliation.

And I have more than enough real world things to make me feel "lesser." I certainly don't need that in my sex life lol.

I personally would never want to humiliate a woman during sex, and I certainly don't want to be humiliated myself.

Other than that; hey, whatever gets you off I guess. As long as it's consensual and legal, have at it.

I understand that. And I have attempted at least one story, Mommy For Hire, I felt was outside my "box."

But I couldn't write a TRUE cuck story anymore than I could write a true gay male story, because it's simply not something I'm familiar enough with to relate to.

Feel free to doodle when you are less busy. But if your character ends up been really close to me, maybe let’s talk first. Nothing heavy, just some character notes.

What you understand that many miss is the trying is the improvement and how you reap benefits. (perfection is the enemy of the good, etc.)

I'm, admittedly, a proponent that many could write a solid story in a category outside their exact demographics so long as they tap into the universality of the human experience across our variations in coupling.

A story focused on the mechanics of various sex acts/deeper community of a fetish, I'd fall flat on my face. But those type tales (because they are more simple retellings of experienced events) are plentiful enough to not need my half-assery to meet a needs gap.

With all my stories, across categories, I strive to have a human condition thread line running through. It buys me some leeway with the harder core in the audience (as I'm attempting to meet maybe an underserved need) and lets me swim in waters I'm not quite suited for. (building my writing muscles through the exercise.)

Most categories have a mechanics priority audience and an emotional/experiential priority audience.

I stick to themes preferred by those who butter my bread.

Don't sweat it. This character would've fit in with the story I'm ending. Purely coincidental, I did develop a similar character from the story onset two years ago, however. She's a spinner with a rich sense of play and joy, and later turned out to be a bit of a domme. MMC is hopelessly in love with her, but he's hopelessly in love with all of the FCs anyway.

The story is going to end where it ends, with no possibility of a sequel. At least not on LitE. Without spoiling it, any logical plot extension beyond the ending would get into prohibited issue(s).
 
I might have got called a spinner once - more than once actually 🤭.

Another unusual dynamic of this is presented in a Lars von Trier film Breaking the Waves (two apologies: not a favorite of this director especially, but this is a striking film, and second, I usually dislike when AH folk refer to films/media that not everyone may have in their familiarity quiver).

Short story: remote Scotland, conservative religious background, oil derrick worker sustains a spinal injury, sex is over for him, urges his wife to go out and have sex, more the better, with other men. A strange altruism, made stranger by the wife (Emily Watson) taking it all on as a mission.

A different take on cuckoldry, illuminating and disturbing.

Wheelhouse? I like that. Well, not everyone can push beyond certain boudaries. I've got one gay and one transgender story here, and one science fiction (which I lifted from Rod Serling. RIP, Rod). I've got one story on another site than might be called erotic horror, although I may not do another one soon, if ever.

But, as I implied, I can't do everything and must other people can't either. Incest with blood relatives doesn't interest me, although I have one uncompleted one abut a non-blood relative. (Surprised at how popular that all is.) There are other things (look at Story Ideas), but I won't take up space with those. So I respect other people's limits, and they respect mine I hope.

I try to keep a kaleidoscope thinking when it comes to categories. So many colors available even to the boring standard missionary P in V. There are some notes I simple can't hit but I will polish the heck out of the commonalities most coupling interactions share.

Yes, some details oriented readers will be left wanting. I'm simply not their author (while simultaneously being an on-ramp to category for other readers who might feel shut out by detail oriented category purists. No right or wrong, simply finding our authorial voice to meet our true audience with.)

Incest specifically, I'd argue a large portion of the devoted readership doesn't have true interest in coupling with a family member. There are a multitudes of reasons why incest themes can work for a variety of people outside of those truly interested. The main, to me, being it's "taboo" that retains most of the structure of social standard hetero-normative coupling. It's Romeo and Juliet with a modern kink b/c we aren't as limited in our partnerships as we were in W.S. days.

Lot of people love feeling naughty (b/c they're now "interesting") without any of the actual realities of the fantasy. (50 Shades mentalities)

I understand authors who can't disassociate the fiction crafting enough from actual thoughts of actual persons to write a properly charactered tale.

There are those of us who can. Still others of those who have little to no preciousness about their families. (that most say they do)

And it's a psychologically rich space for those who find their creativity through such explorations and can comfortably play in that sandbox.

I would agree with most of this. I think I neglected to say that there are things that work well in fantasy but not be so great in reality. I'd have to think about that more. To me, the incest thing gets a bit much when male writers imagine impregnating their own mothers (sometimes sisters too). There seems to be a quite a bit of that on here. But yeah, being on Lit and a couple of other sites (over five years since I've started) has opened up some ideas that I would have had trouble handling with the earlier upbringing I had. (Probably common among other writers here.)

Since you alluded to Fifty Shades of Grey, if I may digress a bit - I've considered a version where Anastasia is a switch - and Christian finds that he is one too. It's pretty straightforward. He comes home one day and she says, "All right Christian, it's time for some payback." I suspect he's go for it; and he'd like it too. "We've got the tools, we've got the talent!"

I like how you cast the thing - Emily Watson - too. I used to do that when fooling around with screenplays - both new material and also "do-overs" of existing movies. Might as well imagine total creative control.
