By far, this remains my favorite Literotica story. The Art of Compromising by Svenskaflicka I'd like to thank the author.
Something about this story simply moved me. Maybe it's because when I read it, I was a high school senior. A young Black man struggling to understand his emerging same-sex feelings. The main character in this short but excellent story was so much like me. A young man living with secret feelings. He can't tell anyone. He loves someone he can't have. He lives in a place where gays are not tolerated. Indeed, just for being who and what he is, he might get killed. The turning point of the story
was when our young bi-curious hero found acceptance from a young lady who had feelings for him. He has a happy ending, at least, considering the times he lived in.
The funny thing is that this story seemed to mirror my life at the time.
I was somewhat involved in athletics, and there was this girl on our all-male team. She was pretty, and rather strong too. Heck, strong enough to try to take me on. Anyhow, Stacy was her name and she was the first female I'd ever told that I was bisexual. We became pals. We hooked up. I could tell her everything. How I felt about girls...and boys.
It's really too bad we didn't work out. Why ? I liked her. A lot. She was mysterious. She was beautiful and strong. But I had urges that not even she could satisfy.
Now, a long time after, I have accepted myself as a bisexual Black man.
I'm in college. I've written an anthology of bisexual erotica which I want to publish. I'm doing okay, staying out of trouble. I miss her. It was she who encouraged me to come to Literotica and join as opposed to lurking.
I miss her sometimes. She was Wonder Woman to my Superman. I cannot read this story without thinking of her. If I was straight and normal, I'd definitely want a permanent relationship with her. But I can't.
I'm bi, with a strong sexual attraction to women but an overwhelming emotional attraction to men. Weird, I know. Many bi guys feel great sexual attraction to men and emotional attraction to women. It's the other way around for me.
Anyhow, The Art of Compromising was our favorite story !!!!
For this, I thank the Author.
