Recurring elements in your stories

I won't go into detail. Too horrifying to talk about.

Sting in the tail?

 

[Zootonius]

Anal is a generational thing. I’d say it’s close to mainstream now.

Em

So you're saying as us old folks die off...

 

[samhasstories]

I think it's shameful that you've outed Logous so flippantly

Took me a shameful 30 seconds to get it.

That took me a while to get. Well played

I was drunk when I read this so I got it immediately.

Let me get on my Time Machine with some Pinot Gris and try again.

So you're still drunk or did it sober you up. Best have another glass!

Going back in time to get drunk has to be the best use a time machine has ever been put to.

Or to fuck that guy / girl that you didn't realize was that into you at the time, but you now realize was. Which could be combined with alcohol as well of course.

If I go back in time to when I was 18, am I still allowed to drink?

I don't think I've ever tried to write a drunk narrator. I have enough practical experience to draw on, but somehow I'm not sure I could pull it off.

Depends where you are. 18 is the legal drinking age where I am. Of course in my day no-one cared. I think I had my first glass of wine when I was 10. Hard liquor by the time I was 16. I squandered an IQ that was off the charts on booze and general lack of motivation. And here I am, writing online smut for likes and comments. Let that be a lesson to you kids!

"Hi, I'm here to have that sex now! What do you mean, who am I? You were slobbering over me just now. OK, I'm 30 years older, but still. How about we get nekkid?"

30 years isn’t a problem for everyone.

Check out my Enid Kirkwood series...drunk as skunks.

I feel confident if I went back in time to when I was 18, if I continued to look as I do now, no one would card me in the first place. If they did, that would be confusing. A man who looks like he's 40 has an id that says he's 18 but was issued 20 years in the future. And the id is in a format no one's ever seen before.

But this also has me going down mental rabbitholes about how time travel might work. In almost every depiction I've seen it's just like traveling through space - you come out on the other side more or less unchanged, just in a different time. But maybe if you travel back in time your constituent parts also go back in time - so you come out as your 18-year-old self. Travel to before you were born, or well into the future, at your own peril.

Okay I'm done. At least in public.

Wait, are we back on the cut/uncut discussion?

It’s only recently that I’ve been carded less (except when they card everyone). Probably the last one to two years. I look a bit more like my actual age than I used to. And I’m often with my bf who’s ancient (well eight years older). Haven’t had anyone call me his daughter as yet, but I know a couple that happened to. Neither of them was too happy at the time. Then saw the funny side in retrospect.

D'ya reckon @Jackie.Hikaru is under the table or away uncorking another one?

Either I've developed a dangerous motor-skills problem or my keyboard is on the way out. Oh hang - I think it was Firefox rebooting and eating my RAM. There - that seems better

Oof. My wife and I have a comparable age difference, but I haven't had anyone make that slip yet. Not sure what that would do to my as-yet relatively tame midlife crisis.

I haven't been carded much in general since my hair fell out. Even though I wasn't that old when it happened.

My bf has a few gray streaks already. His Dad is totally silverhaired. He said people stopped asking him for ID when they appeared.
