Bug Chasing

[Asbel]

Would a story about a bug chaser do well on Literotica, or would it be macabre and disgusting?

For those that don't know, bug chasers are people who go out looking to have sex with people who carry transmissable STDs like HIV and hepatitis, in order to contract those diseases themselves.

At first I flashed on "Oh, it's about entomology (or is that etymology? no) and I thought, "Competition for my upcoming Valentine contest story THE BOTANIST." Then I saw your disease stuff.

Yeah, I'm not surprised by disease fetishists. I flash back to the Firesign Theater's skit BEAT THE REAPER about a game show where players are injected with microbes and have to beat the clock and Name That Symptom so they can receive the antidote. Fail to name it and, "I'm sorry, contestant. You didn't Beat The Reaper." R.I.P.

So, merge the bug-chasing and game-show tropes. A global network of bug-chasers organizes live TV shows to spread diseases. Hilarity and epidemics ensue.

I. . .have no clue. Fire and find out.

Edit: I was also thinking actual bugs first.

It doesn't sound sexy to me, but maybe because I can't get into the mind set of wanting a deadly STI. *shrugs*

I could see this happening in a grim dark campaign. Cults that worship disease and send followers out to get infected. War hammer had a whole race devoted to getting their frontline fighters infected with every disease.

As a story though, especially one meant to be erotic? Oof, that's tough.

Maybe fantasy setting. Worshipper of disease God travels around trying to get infected and spread disease. Acolyte of healing goddess tricks him or her into wearing a crystal that lets them find disease..but not telling the that it turns the wearer into a walking panacea. Everyone they touch or make love to is cured of their illness.

Why does Charlie Sheen come to mind?

 

[Asbel]

I think the idea I had in mind was centered on a young man who feels that the disease and descent into death is highly erotic, almost fetishizing suicide. He goes out and seeks to contract this disease as if it's a gift, and spends all his time physically feeling it grab hold of him and spread.

No, this isn't my fetish, but I enjoy trying to get into the minds of people who do this. What's his motivation? What does he feel? Why does he love how it feels, who does he seek to give it to him?

I’m not certain if it would fall foul of the Literotica police.

Every Lit reader would find some Lit stories macabre and disgusting. It’s not the same set of stories for all users.

For the most part, Lit is not a place where people yuck someone else’s yum.

#inb4 “whatabout this exception and that case in point”

Of course there are rude bad actors. Nobody lets them be a reason not to write for the well behaved majority.

That is very true. It’s a kind of mine (only in writing nothing I’d ever wanna do).

Drat, so this is not about steamy goings-on among the butterfly nets..?

And I had such high hopes of a nine year old thread...

 

[LiterallyLiterate]

Not something I’d be partial to, but to each his own.

And for the record, I also thought actual bugs, like a variant of stuck in the washing machine.
‘I found it Greg! It’s under the sofa here, in the corner! Hey! Why are you pulling my pants down!?’

I watched a short movie on Youtube with this theme many years ago.

It starts out with a woman finding out she has AIDS from a seductive one-night-stand. Distraught, she decides to do something meaningful in the short time she has left. She targets undesirable men, then goes after them, having sex with a pedophile in an abandoned building, then when three nasty teenagers try to pick her up while hitchhiking, she does a gangbang with them on the car hood. In all, she is using her own bad fate to ensnare and kill evil people by using their own foul sexual desires against them. But then the movie ends with her getting a call with the clinic saying they had mixed up patients and that the reading for her STD was wrong. Instantly she considers her fate... an unwanted pregnancy or actually having AIDS now from the vile men she had sex with. It was a surprise-twist ending.

So for sure something poignant can be done with it.
