Post-Apocalyptic settings?

[LovelyLauren]

How does everyone feel about these?

I've always thought it would be pretty exciting, whether it be a Zombie!Apocalypse, alien take-over, world war, natural disaster, end of days kind of setting, etc. While it may be fun to write if you like action scenes, it also opens up so many possibilities for sexual scenes as well. Whether it be rape, gang bang, or even romance.

I think after watching The Book of Eli, 28 Days/Weeks Later, and other end of the world type movies, I've been searching everywhere for anything remotely close.

Has anyone else done anything like this?

Nope, but I probably own or have watched most PA movies.
Probably my most fav gaming genre too, huge fan of Fallout3 and New Vegas.
Just been watching the TV series "The Walking Dead" ..... some interesting .... plot possibilites.

 

[LovelyLauren]

I'm freaking addicted to The Walking Dead. Good stories to come out of that as well. =)

Hehehee, very good stories ..... that whole best friend does the wife then the husband returns from the dead thing, so funny.
The sex in the woods was hot though

PA setings are great. They allow for emotional turmoil and action scenes, as well as alternative forms or mutations depending on how the end of large-scale civilisation came about (be it by aliens, virus or warfare).

If you are looking to start one let me know, I'm currently getting a roleplay in that setting started myself.

Let me know if you need ideas, my brain is your bucket, dip your hand in.

 

[Carnevil9]

I've never written a Post-Apocalypse sex story, but it does have a certain appeal.

One problem, though: part of the appeal of sexual stories is the naughtiness of them; the sense of doing something that you know you shouldn't be doing. But in a post-apocalyptic world, where all conventions are blown to hell and all the rules are out the window, that certain naughtiness is pretty much gone! Anything goes!

This could be a good thing for plotting purposes, but I think it could be bad for achieving that taboo vibe that makes Literotica so entertaining.

True ... but just because its generally an anything goes world, doesn't mean those getting "done" are always happy about it

Hell, I reackon licking an icecream can be made exciting, so its not so much about the setting, although this has heaps of potential.

You could also make the apocalypse happen because of a virus that makes people have sex 24-7 with everything and everyone they can find (within site limits), until they die of exhaustion/dehydration/malnutrition.
Then throw in some virgins who, for some reason, are immune to this virus, and have them search for a cure. That way it can be PA and sexy at the same time.

Your starter for ten ...

The Great Influenza Pandemic of November and December 2020 was not called that until well after it was over. In fact nobody realised that it even existed at the time. To be sure people had had a version of the ‘flu, but it was very mild. Only the very infirm died of complications following it, and not of the flu itself; even the worst affected were ill for only forty-eight hours, and most people felt poorly for less than a day. Naturally the epidemiologists looked at the flu virus when someone in the laboratories caught it, and they determined that it was an unknown variant which was extremely infectious, but as the effect on the human physiology was apparently so slight, few worried about it. That the routine immunisations provided no protection from it was not a surprise, as it was a new strain, sufficiently far from the previous ones for the effect of the existing vaccine to be slight.
The general opinion at the time was that the world was lucky that it caused so little disruption to people’s lives. As a side effect of that, most people ignored it, and in consequence it spread the more easily, passing from Australia, where it started, to every technologically advanced country in the world in days, and all but the most remote outposts of human existence within a few weeks.

Chapter 1 Realisation

It was the dreaded weekly meeting, when all the five doctors in the practice met, ostensibly to discuss medical matters and pass on helpful information, but actually to grouse about patients, nurses, and above all, administrators.
“Okay, who’s going to tell me?” asked Dr. Mark Young looking belligerently round the table. He had been in the practice, and the decaying ex-coalmining village it served, for six months now, but he still felt he was capable of making incredible social gaffes, and that the village was punishing him for them.
“Tell you what?” asked Dr. Harris, the senior partner, looking puzzled, “Enlighten me someone, do.”
There was a silence.
“Anyone?” he repeated the request.
More silence.
“Well, young Mark, it seems nobody has anything to tell you,” the older man continued, “So tell us what you think we should tell you.”
The young doctor glowered; the pun on his name was wearing very thin after twenty-five years of enduring it through school, university and his first General Practice appointment, and for the last six months here.
“I wish someone to tell me precisely what I did, or said, or failed to appreciate, which has caused all the young women to avoid me? I haven’t done a pregnancy test, or had a new pregnant patient since well before Christmas, and I would have expected at least one or two a week. I know February and March are always the quietest months. But that’s only by ten percent or so, not a hundred percent.”
The others looked at each other with increasing concern, and the silence was finally broken by Dr. Alice Williams. “I haven’t had any either,” she said, “I was beginning to wonder if all the girls in the village had fallen under your spell, Mark.”
“Nor I,” added the other two, simultaneously.
“Good God,” said Dr. Harris, “The chapel has finally won the battle against sex.”
“Not quite,” said Alice, “I’ve had three women wanting advice on how to get pregnant, and all three had husbands with very low sperm counts, and two of them had had children before with no problems, and both swear that was by their husbands.”

The virus has made all but a very few males effectively sterile. Perhaps the biography of one of the fertile males might contain some sex scenes? And perhaps the stratagems of desperate women to gain access to him might be interesting, and even the sex lives of the men who are completely "safe" might be more exciting than usual?

Or there could a story where the son (18+ of course) replace his father as the man in the camp & satisfy his mother's sexual needs

I like the PA format for allowing you to reinvent / reconfigure the conventions of a world, and it seems a good device to push invdividuals into each others arms more quickly than tends to be realistic in the world as we know it (except for slutty people who I think generally make kind of boring erotica characters - perhaps owing to the lack of recognition of "naughtiness" to which a previous poster referred).

I've written several things in this genre, and think I may have one here on Lit. (Though it had no happy ending and thus is my least popular story.)

 

[xssve]

It's a fascinating subject, not the least because the conventional social forms are often inadequate - the usual approach is to have a complete breakdown of society, but more realistically, I think you'd only get a partial breakdown, but there would be a lot of new stressors to adapt to.

Of particular interest, would be what happens to the male-to-female ratio - i.e., if it tilts in favor of women (high male attrition rate), one tends to get polygyny, if it tilts towards males, polyandry - for instance the Pacific islanders, where fewer women could probably be induced to make the initial sea voyage, and some sort of polyandrous system had to evolve to keep the males from all killing each other over pussy - which is precisely what happened to the crew of the Bounty on Pitcairn Island when the European sailors insisted on maintaining strict monogamist Christian standards w/regards their native wives.

Thing is Carnevil9 - the "taboos" are really in the heads of your readers, and they're going to be there regardless of the setting of the story.

 

[SoulWeaver]

We're gonna take a stab at it anyway ..... Blood Red Sky


Some very interesting comments on the whole idea .......
Just shows that theres many different potential takes on the concept, and probably all equally valid, depending on the conceived world.

[LovelyLauren]

Hey, the taboo is still there, just might not be where you're used to finding it in the whole, "We shouldn't be doing this, but God, it feels too good..."

Some great ideas here, it's nice to see other people interested in similar ideas. =)

 

[jeninflorida]

its hard to make a story PA, well sexy. life has changed, the world is different....sex is for survival and less for fun.....

think about it, will you be having a hot tub orgy with 6 of your fellow survivors? doesn't that make you soup for a zombie?

I love PA stuff, and love to write PA. I have never posted anything yet cuz they haven't been erotic.

How does everyone feel about these?

Isn't it erotic enough though, when two people find something in each other?
Amidst all the grime and dirt, a moment, of purity, hope maybe .........?

lust and passion....hehe

 

[SoulWeaver]

Very much so.
Along with hints of, fear, uncertainty, dominance, submission . . . I mean, each time might be your last. That can add a certain erotic desperation too. Now that can't be bad .... can it?

These are all true of Zombie attack or nuclear war scenarios, but consider my suggestion of a sterilising virus for a moment.

Nothing is changed on the day the problem happens, or the day it is discovered, except that there will be no more babies. That changes the whole sexual ethos of society in many different ways. For some people it is a major disappointment, for others a liberation.

Sure the grime and dirt will arrive ... but not for at least forty years, when there start to be too few able-bodied around to cope with running a civilised society.

Certainly true. I think thats the good thing about the genre, there's many forms the apocalypse could take. A society balance change without any sort of initial infrastructure breakdown could be just as emotionally taxing as a war in some ways.

now, in the story "Postman" that was kind of naughty and kinky....

God I haven't read Brin in ages. I remember it was ok, with good bits here and there rather than wow. But, yeah thats naughty/kinky without resorting to extremes . . .

Snooper, have you seen the movie "Children of Men"? Very similar scenario to what you describe. No erotica involved, though.

How's this for a PA scenario: Men are virtually wiped out, while many women have survived. So naturally it falls to the few men to do their damnedest to impregnate as many women as possible. The women, likewise, have to compete for the few men, so they do their damnedest to be as sexy, alluring, irresistible as they possibly can be, and come up with newer and ever-more erotic ways to keep those few men interested in more sex.........Carney

Meanwhile many remaining female scientists who fear the repopulation may not come in fast enough are trying alternative methods of increasing the birth rate:

- growing clone babies born in vats (the men must repeatedly give samples of their genetic material, being injected with a chemical which leaves them horny for hours after. People are later gifted with children from the lab and have to raise them as a family, women fighting over who gets the boys with the intention of having a man to fuck later).
- creating a large cock-worm creature which is free of a male body and instincitvely has sex with everything.
- (and for those who don't mind a bit of genderbending) gentically modify women to contain the genitalia of both sexes.

A few of the more out-there ideas, not saying everyone will appreciate them but here they are.

Sorry - no, but I have read the book on which it is based.

You have the problem in any "wipe out" scenario which can be summed up as "Who puts the garbage out, and who then collects it?" A modern civilised society, especially a high-tech city based one, depends on a lot of people doing a lot of mundane things. Look at Haiti after the earthquake, and imagine that world-wide with no functioning NGO aid agencies.
