Angry Comments = Post-Nut Clarity

[Yarglenurp]

I’ve been thinking about the minority of my audience who leave angry comments in cuckold/cheating stories despite it being abundantly clear from the get-go it’s a cuckold/cheating story, and just hit on the reason:

Post-nut clarity.

These dudes are so turned on by fantasizing about being cheated on and humiliated, they can’t help but read cheating/cuckold humiliation stories. But, after they cum, they feel a deep shame for being so turned on. They need to clean their souls somehow, and so they lash out at the very thing that brought them such deep, erotic pleasure.

Knowing this, I realize now that I should take pride in those angry, angry comments. I just made a self-hating cuckold cum so hard, he had to re-rage himself afterwards.

I've mentioned that phrase from Nathanael West: "excited disgust." (Read The Day of the Locust if you want the context.) In fact, the whole book is about human delusions. Yeah, people are often fascinated by what they claim to dislike. It takes some courage to admit to yourself what your secret fantasies are. Probably that's why many of us write here.

Or to refer to something else: "I'm shocked, shocked to find that there is cheating going on here."

Would the same logic apply to authors who claim to hate the LW trolls, then spend hours in the AH talking about said trolls?

Asking for a friend...

There's also complaining about the site itself. But, yes, we secretly do enjoy our "two minutes of hate" for trolls of all kinds. It also used to be called "pearl-clutching," which is defined as "a very shocked reaction, especially one in which you show more shock than you really feel in order to show that you think something is morally wrong." I think that covers it.

Pretty solid reasoning there from all players. I do that think that, yes, ironically enough, we are sometimes attracted to that which seems to repel us...

Without any data to the contrary, I feel it's a solid theory.

And you should take pride in those responses. After all, as a writer the goal is to make the reader feel something, right? Joy, grief, revulsion, lust, what have you. So if you warn them, "these people will be fucking outside their marriage," and they read it and get angry, that's the feeling they were looking for. For whatever reason.

Hopefully, someday an experienced psychoanalyst will join our merry band here and give us all the whys and wherefores of it all. In the meantime, we'll just continue to make them feel something.

I feel that there is a story there. Not my genre, but: a story is posted, reader leaves a bitter comment because it parallels their life; regrets it; conversations starts in the comments section; decide to take it to private messages; it starts getting flirty…

Related: as I’ve pointed out before, if someone complains about the comments in all the cheating wife/angry husband stories on YouTube? It’s because they keep seeing those. And the only reason they’d be seeing them is if they keep clicking on the videos. Unlike good ol’ Literotica, the algorithm on YouTube adjusts to what you watch and tries to give you things that you seem to want. There’s a reason I did all my research for the essay in a separate browser, with a separate YouTube account. And look at that: my main browser/account remain completely free of said content.

Funny, that.

Synopsis: Jerry the happy cuckold writes a story about his daily life being cucked. Roger reads Jerry’s story and leaves an angry review about the evils of cheating women and decay of western society. Francesca, annoyed at seeing her husband being harassed, reaches out to Roger. After finding out Roger’s real name and info, Francesca blackmails Roger into apologizing to Jerry. As a reward, Francesca pretends to be Roger’s wife for a day by letting him join Jerry during their next cucking session. Both Jerry and Roger stay tied up while having the privilege of watching Francesca fuck their bull. Roger, now fully converted, apologizes, vows to accept who he is, and becomes a better man from then on.

Part of the reason we see might those responses in LW and not elsewhere may be a difference in reaction to a shame fap based on gender; not innate, of course, but societally conditioned. Essentially, the "shame" post-orgasmic response in men is often to lash out, whereas in women, it's to self-criticize. This is way into the "overly broad generalization" territory, but hear me out.

I've had a few responses from women to the NC/R and "heavy" cuckquean Fetish stories I've posted that were essentially, "This was so hot! What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I like this?" that (based on some, ah, specific descriptions of their enjoyment) are clearly from women. It's not just my stories that provoke that response, either; I've seen similar comments on other NC/R stories, too.

So, we see "shame" responses in both men and women, but the way they play out are different. Why? I'd guess that there's an argument to be made that women are "allowed" to admit weakness more than men in general society, and that translates into a different response to shame even in anonymous forums, combined with the variety of stories in LW. Perhaps a bit of "I've started reading this story I thought might be a burn... Oh no! My unwanted erection! You asshole!" happens as a result.

I never wrote a LW story, but I did write a boy meets girl story where, at the end, the girl becomes attracted to another woman. My plan was simply a setup for a threesome in the next chapters. But I got plenty of 'She gonna dump him for a woman!' comments! There seems to be an eagerness for cuckoldry, real or imagined.
