show me some good stroke material (and tell me what's good about it)

[AG31]

I stumbled on this old thread today. Interesting question. Interesting answers.

I find it difficult to identify "good" stories (stroke, simple erotica, whatever), stories with little attention to plot and character, apart from their specific sexual appeal. Is it about something that turns you on? Does the writing style let you stay in the story (not unique to "stroke" stories.)

That being the case, if I come up with a quality that I admire in a simple erotica story, I can almost always think of another that I admire that doesn't have that quality.

I do, continually, find it a bit of a mystery that so many authors here delight in crossing categories. The pleasure must come way much more from being an author of fiction than from writing arousing stories. Or maybe you all just do have really, really broad tastes???

Bonus points for femdom shoe fetish stuff, obviously, but I hope many of the lessons will transfer well from kink to kink.

I still get hard reading some scenes from my own story "Footing the Bill". And the story in your link is

I've gotten some comments that I write stroke material and I'm thinking of leaning into that a bit. So, show me some good stroke material, and if you've got the time, say a bit about what made it good.

Since this thread is approximately 6 months old, I'm wondering if you got any ideas that you put into practice in a story we could read?

Some of the hottest (in my opinion) strokers and scenes that I've written aren't here in Lit, or at least not anymore. But one that still gets me hot and bothered, even though it isn't even my kink, is Ben's Big Mistake.

I wrote it as an exercise in 1P present tense, so it's all about the events unfolding before the narrator. The build-up, the moment where he thinks he's got it, then the twist and his reactions, his realisation about himself.

That sounds like a lot, but essentially it's just a stroker.

Been told this one is pretty good. Just a brief description of a rather sensual massage...

I am working on the presumption that a "stroke story" is defined as one where the story-arc and the sex-arc coincide, i.e. even if the story is about other things as well, it is structured by the sex, and therefore its structure coincides with the natural wank-arc of the reader. (Or am I overthinking this?)

In this case, my two best "stroke stories" have been banned by Lit, on the grounds that they are too religious. Go figure.

However, if anyone is interested, they can be read here on my blog:
Scarlet Scripture

And I think that what makes them good is that they are about many other profound social and personal issues, despite being structured around the sex (and therefore conducive to a damn good wank)...

Porn to make you think.
