Husband cuckolded in purgatory.

[Cfnmlover84]

An abusive husband dies from a heart attack and wakes up in purgatory. He's forced to watch as his wife moves on and has sex with a younger man.

An abusive husband dies from a heart attack and wakes up in purgatory. He's forced to watch as his wife moves on and has sex with a younger man.

or...

...or...

... he could wake up and find himself being leered at by tentacled beings on a spaceship from the Planet Glokkz..

... or he could find himself on top of a toadstool in fairyland being molested by a malevolent elf...

Seeing all of these threads relying so heavily on the irrational and the supernatural is actually getting quite close to being 'in purgatory'.

Can anyone offer an explanation why so many people opt for this lazy shlok rather than rooting their ideas in some kind of believable reality... something which would actually grip the reader as being all the more exciting because it just could be happening..?

Because they like it?

Reality? How about:

The husband survives an accident but is paralysed and utterly dependent on his mistreated wife. She sets up a video feed so he has to watch as a string of lovers fucks her. This is humiliating for him, but given the choice between divorce and this cruel purgatory, he chooses the latter.

He doesn't just watch. She props him up in a hands-and-knees position, and the lovers take turns sodomizing him as he watches.

And i'm pretty sure it's against the rules to rudely criticize a person's idea like Magineer did. I put him/her on ignore.

Update: yeah it is against the rules.

Please keep this a SAFE place for conversation. Try not to ridicule someone just because you think their fetish (idea) is weird. Yours might seem equally weird to someone else! If you can't post without being sarcastic and rude, then please save your comments for the General Board!

This idea is twisted and dark but it has lots of possibilities. The story would be much more powerful told this way than as a supernatural fantasy.

 

[Magineer]

I apologise for any perceived rudeness. Sincerely.

It's just that Lit seems strangely and disproportionately poisoned by this constant drip-drip of goblins, aliens and similar irrationality. I suspect I'm far from being the only one who thinks so.

I mean: never mind 'fiction' - you really do get the impression that some people have yet to grow up and that they actually believe, seriously, in the existence of these things along with gods, heavens and hells...

We're probably dealing with the Harry Potter generation, sad to say, but hey, even Rowling doesn't actually believe in flying on wooden sticks, or so I'm told.

If I've shaken some sense into the thread, as appears to be the case, then I'm glad.

I don't know what the basis for this is. I've been reading stories here for 15 years and writing stories for three. There are plenty of fantasy-based stories. But there are so many stories that have nothing to do with what you're talking about that I don't see how anyone can say their presence "poisons" anything. If you don't like these stories, you can just quietly pass them by and you have a nearly infinite number of more "reality" based stories to choose from. It's pretty easy to do by looking at the taglines and tags and categories. It seems a bit narrow to make a point of criticizing people because they like story ideas you don't.

People have always liked fantasy. They always will. It's not a new thing, and it's not going away.

Well, let's forget for a moment the gobsmackingly obvious point that introducing such bizarre things into a narrative will have the effect of attracting the reader's attention towards themselves and away from the erotic content.

Let's also forget that human sexuality is largely just that: sex between human beings in the everyday world... and always has been.

Shall we perhaps also do away with my clearly stupid thought that a grounding in apparent realism might allow the reader to gain a greater frisson of erotic excitement?

I shall not even mention the equal and opposite tendency, i.e. that the greater the sense of 'this is completely unreal', the less stimulating any erotic content will be.

Let's perhaps just focus on why these things see the light of day so often - I refer you to your 'plenty of fantasy' comment.

To me, Occam's Razor says that these 'authors' are either imagination-challenged or plain lazy. Too hard to invent an original and interesting, reality-based background? Easy peasy -resort to the delights of Planet Zog. Too demanding to dream up a realistic scenario where a husband would be forced to watch his wife screw a younger man? No problem - play the 'purgatory' card.

No need to strain the brain. Deus ex machina. Simples.

Ironically, the only thing I find "bizarre" about this idea is the cuckolding. But, I will not shame Cfnmlover84 because it's not my thing.

There are tens of thousand of stories on Lit that have nothing to do with what apparently bothers you so much. That being said it's everybody's right here to savour their own kink (within legalities, the law and Laurel).

Well shoot me. I'm 67 and have a demon and other mythical entities in one of my stories. I have an idea for a fairy story (and I'm not into fairies) It just occurred to me one day. I may write it, maybe never. Who knows?

And i'm pretty sure it's against the rules to rudely criticize a person's idea like Magineer did. I put him/her on ignore.

Update: yeah it is against the rules.

Yes it is against the rules. The only saving grace was turning it into a question at the end. It would have been better received had it been kept off this thread and the commenter started their own thread asking the question. Then it could have been a discussion rather than an insult.

Imagination challenged??? Fuck, apparently those authors have more imagination in their little pinky than you have in your entire brain.

It sounds to me like boring documentaries would be more your style. You're definitely in the wrong place.

Gosh, I'm impressed - well, who wouldn't be? - by such magisterial command of logic and tight grip of arguments. An expletive..!! Well, I never! So, obviously, any sentence started with 'Fuck' must of course carry huge, conviction-carrying sincerity and gravitas...

... so we all know what credence we can give to the words which followed it, right..?

Just on the face of it, any unbiased, third-party observer might well come to the conclusion that someone here got their fingers burned in a previous encounter...

 

[AlinaX]

Why do you keep trying to pretend your presumed command of English gives you superiority?

This about sums your "opinion" up: full of sound and fury; signifying nothing

Lol, on an authors forum yet

**************

So here's a quote from Wikipedia I like

"Olin Levi Warner, Imagination (1896). Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C.
Imagination is the ability to produce and simulate novel objects, peoples and ideas in the mind without any immediate input of the senses. It is also described as the forming of experiences in the mind, which can be re-creations of past experiences such as vivid memories with imagined changes, or they can be completely invented and possibly fantastic scenes.[1] Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process.[2][3][4][5] A basic training for imagination is listening to storytelling (narrative),[2][6] in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to "evoke worlds".[7]"

OH MY from the same explanation

"Imagination can also be expressed through stories such as fairy tales or fantasies."

 

[DarkPleasures]

Cfnmlover84, I am sorry that your story idea has been shat all over.

 

[gordo12]

Yes, my apologies too for the thread hijack.

It was an interesting idea you proposed and VERY IMAGINATIVE

 

[Magineer]

Why do you keep trying to pretend your presumed command of English gives you superiority?

I'm certainly not above apologising where it's due, as I've already done previously on this thread, so if you will kindly point out the various instances - according to you - of my making claims of 'superiority', then I shall gladly do so...

While waiting patiently for that, a great contribution from you at #4 on the thread which, as SimonDoom says later, is a quantum leap over what was proposed originally.

 

[Magineer]

Ooh... someone knows their Scottish Play... even if they're more than somewhat vague on the distinction between factual observation and opinion. Excellent. Now there was someone - the Bard - who knew his supernatural and his witches. But then... don't I seem to recall he tended not to try to add the erotic into that particular mix... nor, for that matter, to use ideograms as sentence-ending confetti..? Such a good writer...

... and such a shame he lost his three 'weird sisters' to Literotica... or at least so it would appear...

 

[Cfnmlover84]

I'm not interested in doing aliens or goblins. I like doing stories that take place in modern times with light fantasy elements. Think more Stephen King than Game of Thrones. Some of the softcore films i like from the 90's have fantasy elements.

The cuckolding in the story is him being forced to watch his wife move on and enjoy life without him. He was terrible to her when he was alive.

Ironically, the only thing I find "bizarre" about this idea is the cuckolding. But, I will not shame Cfnmlover84 because it's not my thing.

I understand your concept. I don't understand the fetish (desire).

 

[Hypoxia]

The cuckolding in the story is him being forced to watch his wife move on and enjoy life without him. He was terrible to her when he was alive.

A cuckold is a man who doesn't know his wife is cheating on him, and is held in low regard because he can't control his 'property'. Whatever abusive fetish you have in mind isn't cuckoldry.

 

[DarkPleasures]

Mirriam-Webster definition of Cuckold

• a man whose wife is unfaithful

No where does it say it must be unbeknownst to him.
