Pushing/finding your boundaries

[oggbashan]

Beastiality and my old story.

I am clear that in my story The Giant Squid the premise is absolutely impossible and therefore the creature is mythical.

It is just as mythical as a unicorn. You could strap a fake horn to a horse but that would be bestiality because it would still be a real horse. You can't have an adult live Giant Squid at sea level so it can't be a real creature. Even a juvenile would be dying. A skin diver can't reach the depths at which adult Giant Squid live. There is no way my story could be real.

My view is that when you're asking yourself questions like that sometimes you have to step back and think about the sheer nuttiness of the question and realize that no possible bad consequence can ensue from deciding one way or the other.

Look at it this way, too: Literotica would be a poorer place if some of those squid stories got tossed. That's how I see it.

Except that your submission is rejected and you have no idea why yours is rejected and others, very similar in nature, aren't.

I understand that such questions arise repeatedly, and some complain that threads they have no obligation to read, or contribute to, have currency.

I'm not sure that your suggested 'sheer nuttiness' resolves anything. Too subjective, perhaps, to be useful.

I'm not in a position to guage whether Lit is better off without squid because I've only ever looked at one tentacle story.

I won't do Mom/Son direct interaction. I'm circling around same room, same time, in full view, but different partners. I've done that with Mom/Daughter. Also considering Father/Daughter direct, but not sure about it yet. Working on Father/Mother enlisting and offering adult siblings for others to interact with.

If I expand on my latest just submitted, I may get a little kinkier in some of those areas and rougher stuff than in the past, but no where near violent. Read a 'rough' scene on another site (that might also be here) that got to me. I want to incorporate something similar, but not copy it too directly.

I also won't do incest, but now you've got me thinking about a story where the mother pimps her son out to her MILF friends during his first summer back home from college.

Those who read the Incest/Taboo category want REAL incest, preferably between very close relations. Even cousins won't really do it for them.

The first time I wrote incest it felt a bit weird, but as in many areas, incest between characters can be fun and intimate even when real-life incest is seriously icky/problematic (for me).

Hmm, pushing the boundaries.

I guess my Angel sucking maggots off the Devil's cock might have pushed some. Along with the Imp that turned oral sex with her into a meal by swallowing her. I definitely had some uncomplimentary comments over those.

But my current story for the Geek event will have a BTB (Burn the Bastard) moment for the X-husband that will surely have a few losing their lunch! Oh yeah, chomping on a spider, squishy guts in the teeth...while frenching! As much as I don't want to, I'll probably have to post it in erotic horror.

I enjoy pushing boundaries, especially when it galvanizes the readers.

But it still fits in Taboo. Might push some buttons if Mom interacts during the act, directing, or coaching for example. Maybe a CFNM party featuring the Son where Mom offers him as a prize at the end. Kind of like the ELP tune, 'Close, But Not Touching'.

So keep it out of that publication category; got it.

Like anything, you star by dipping your toes in, then what used to get you going is ho-hum and you need more, then more...somewhat akin to addiction, the more you drink or snort, the more it will take you to attain that same rush or high.

I think our boundaries have built in failsafe switches-different for every individual-I think if we reach a point where we're considering an idea and something, a little voice, will give us that wake up call of "okay, this is a little too much" if you don't feel that than you're good to go

It’s funny you say this because yesterday, while writing one of these stories, I had a moment with the quote, “Part of the curse of man is that depravity begets more depravity, even while guilt begets benevolence.”

 

[JanusGoneAwry]

I feel like a pussy because at this point I'm happy just writing what my somewhat limited imagination concocts. Thus far I haven't had the urge to push any boundaries, but unlike most of you, I've only published ten stories so perhaps I just haven't hit that milestone yet.

Truth be told my biggest boundary was actually putting my stuff out there for the unnamed masses to read. That was terrifying at the start.

Yup, further down the rabbit hole we go.

 

[jaF0]

Do you ever feel like you're going too far over the top? Like, I really shouldn't submit this.


Not because it's outside the rules, but because it's outside the limits of reality for most. I'm putting together story using a number of plot bunnies using the same characters and it's almost like ..... no way in hell would one person or group of people be involved in all this stuff.

They're all fragments that don't really make a story by themselves, but sort of go together here as the characters evolve and descend into depravity.

Second that. I really had no idea of how my work would be received, and I debated with myself for ages before I hit submit.

I be one sick puppee.

Shame, shame, shame.

Ever see the movie Salo(based on 120 days of Sodom...sort of) no matter how depraved you think you can be? There's someone out there who'll say hold my beer

I never had this issue with my writing, screw it, toss it up see what people think. But I think that's because there's some anonymity to it, nothing anyone says is that personal(in my opinion) because they don't know me, they're insulting the story or who they think is behind it.

But I'm struggling now with video content. I have two Youtube vids recorded, one discussing a nasty little horror novel and another about horror in comics.

But I don't care much for my voice and I'm not the best speaker so those vids have been sitting there for a month and I can't pull the trigger on publish.

Additional thoughts on Incest...

As far as I'm concerned they are just two people who find themselves attracted to each other. That they call each other Mom or Son or Sister is just how it is.

Now my Mother was a beautiful woman, yet as I look back, I never once thought about wanting to have sex with her. And as I don't have a sister, well, there went that problem.

Now my cousin, who just happens to be six months older that me...

And my Aunt by marriage...

And then there is my God Mother...

Oh wait I think I've written stories about them.

Again, change the names and they become just people who get together to have sex. Using the names of Mom, Sis, Bro, is just so they fit into the Incest category. Otherwise they would go into erotic couplings.

 

[jaF0]

I'm doing a helluava mix up combination of many variations. It ain't no work of literary art, but it is what it is.

 

[jaF0]

Fluids, fluids, I hate fluids. I hate stories that focus on the mess.

But in this latest romp into raunch, I toy with them a bit, some dribbling and staining.

 

[TadOverdon]

I know someone who does porn online, not prose stories but something else, and he's become bizarre enough lately that he says he's backing off of doing much more of it at all. He's upset himself and...I'm not real sorry, to be honest. Ick?

My philosophy in life is a mix of Levay's teachings couples with good old fashioned hedonism and existentialism and the mantra of ex nihilo

So end of the day I'm a if it feels good do it type providing you're not hurting anyone including yourself.

If two family members are legit attracted and in love with each other (no abuse or manipulation, genuine attraction for whatever reason) then go for it.

I see siblings together easily. They're peers, usually pretty close in age, they're friends, playmates, confidants, partners in crime and I could see that line being slid over to lover, not commonly, but possible.

I do always wonder about the instances of parent/adult child. My first reaction is this was probably happening before the child became an adult in which case that's abuse and abuse of power.

But even with the child an adult I still have that nag that one will always have something over the other, you're conditioned to listen to and obey that parent. In normal circumstances anyway, separated and reunited can be a different story

But again if there is no dynamic other than an uncommon love and attraction, have at it.

We have only this life to live before we wink out like a candle.

That's your optimistic Sunday sermon.

But people liked it. All the comments were positive. I found it fairly easy to follow despite being a run-on sentence, and it ended on a fun note.

One of the things that make the story work is that you obviously know exactly what you are doing. You know what the rules are, and you break them deliberately and knowingly. That's a far cry from the usual grammar offenses one sees at Literotica, where authors often have no idea what they are doing and don't care.

It's a perfectly legitimate way of pushing boundaries in one's writing, and it can achieve good effects, as it does with this story.
