The unlocked room

[TarnishedPenny]

The scene. A party, young men and women, perhaps sophomores, who have known each other since school began. Very relaxed atmosphere. While by no means drunk or stoned, all have ‘indulged’.

The party is in the house of one of the men, who rents it from his… well, let’s say uncle, which explains how he can afford such a nice place. Luxurious but hardly lavish. There is a pool and perhaps all have enjoyed that. In the kitchen, there is a locked door. The boy who is renting claims to not have the key. Somebody picks the lock and opens it to disclose a modest studio fitted out with a Sybian, pro lighting and several cameras. One can guess the reaction and comments. One of the women says she doesn’t understand.

One thing leads to another, and…

Or maybe not so modest? A BDSM dungeon?

 

[LiterallyLiterate]

Or, if you keep the original plan, with a small room, wall close in, there could be gloryholes? They could be hidden behind all kinds of clever concealments in the surrounding rooms.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Any unlocked computers in there, or locked ones? If not, where’s the camera store the images?

Anything activate as the door’s opened? Automated bidding site, maybe?

Is it just a sybian, or are there other bits & bobs - cuffs, rope, blindfold, ring gag? Mysterious unlabeled fluids- gels, oils, etc?

 

[Chazwill]

..and then the the quite one, the Plane Jane who always attends but is easy to miss speaks up and says “Its a Sybian”, hasn’t every woman used one?”…

There could be whatever the story demands; I’ve deliberately left the details rather fuzzy. Personally, while I can certainly see why people are asking about BDSM gear, my original thought was to keep shy of that. YMMV.

Are the camera's pointing out to the various rooms and pool, or are they pointing at the sybian?

As a none USA person I'll always have to check what age people are when they are sophomore or other. 15 or 16 eh?

I'm pretty sure you know better. Make them 18+ and you've got a great story on your hands.

US college sophomores are `~20 years old.

 

[Husky_Embrace]

US college sophomores are `~20 years old.

And that is exactly the reason why it is dangerous. Only if I look specifically to college somophores I get to that age. If I just look it up without specifying that it's college somophores, as also the OP does, I get 15-16.

So from my perspective, it is an underage story. Why would I know to think it's college somophores? How would I know to look for it? Worse, people who do know the system and want to read underage kids can do so freely.

It needs to be unambiguous in it's 18+ for both people in the culture as without.

 

[Andreas_Kreuz]

I like the idea of the sybian more than the dungeon. A dungeon is what I and apparently others immediately thought of. But the Sybian makes it more direct and more intimate.
Who dares to go first?

Another cultural confusion point. I used the term ‘sophomore’ specifically so it would be understood that all present were safely this side of 18. Live and learn!

Edit - for my education, in what countries might a ‘sophomore’ not be a second-year college or university student?

US high school sophomore is <18.

Again a live and learn point. I’d not heard it applied to secondary school before this. Thanks.

The age matter aside, the basic idea here is good and could lead in many directions. You could have a suite of stories involving couples (or more) revolving around the discovery of the room and its onward repercussions.

 

[Nightscream89]

I like this idea, I would make it a complete studio, including a bed and some tools. I don't think it should be modest, more like different corners have different 'sets'. A large white couch in one corner, a dorm style bunkbed (with ladder) in another and a large bed in another, all are on easily movable platforms, it's clear that it's set-up to be able to film in different settings, in the centre is a set with a sybian.

A seperate small room is accessable, seemingly the room is completely closed off.

They discover the room and smell a sweet smell inside it, the girls immediately are curious about the sybian while the guys explore the room in amazement, the girls want to try the sybian, but obviously they want the guys to leave before doing that. The guys enter the seperate room and they discover that they can watch through all sorts of camera's from inside that room, they can even operate the camera's and there's a record button that one of the guys pushes with a sly smile.

In amazement they see one of the girls undress and get onto the sybian as she is explaining to the other girls how it works. The horny guys watch in amazement as the girl rides the sybian and some of the other girls start to strip down wanting a turn as well.

Then they see a slider that says "Aphrodesiac gass." They realize that was the sweet scent that was in the room, the slider is quite low, but then they decide to slide it up...
As the girls get more and more excited by the aphrodesiac, they start rubbing themselves while they wait their turn, then each other. The young women attach a second dildo to the sybian, 2 girls ride it together before a brave young woman sticks one in her pussy and one in her ass.

Because of the aphrodesiac they become insatiatble, finally the guys decide to get out of the media room, at this point the girls don't mind and happily indulge with the guys using everything the room has to offer. Of course everything was recorded and stored in a cloud.

End the story with them finding out that while they can watch the recording, they can't delete it. Leaving the reader to wonder what the owner of this rental home will do with this recording... (Which opens up possibilities of a sequel, or you can just leave the reader wondering forever.)

Well that's what I would do with it.

Then I'm glad I turned down my aggressive speech before I posted. If I google somophore here in the kingdom of the Netherlands, I get seemingly USA results that all say 15-16yo. I think the term somphore only exists in the USA, and is quite meaningless to anyone else. Unless you talk to the old Greeks.

Personally I think the best way is to avoid terms like somophore for these reasons. If I want to use a young age, I make the story of (university) students of around 20. These people often have the means to get into weird situations, are still growing sexually and can have all skill levels. Any ambiguity is gone, as even a bit younger is still okay.

Of course people want to read about borderline young adults stories. To make sure it's okay, add in a small bit of narrative to show they're 18+. Have them congratulate someone who was on vacation with their 18th birthday a week ago, and mention that now even their youngest party member can call themselves an adult now. In addition, have them do or be nothing underage related. No "looks much younger" for example, or dress Lolita style.

That is my view on it. As I know people quite hurt at underage I'm quite fierce about it.

Age aside, I do like the story. I already have some idea how it could play out. Someone mentioned it's in q basement and has bad associations, so move it to the attic.

A group of a few close friends and maybe a new introduction or two who are swept up into the social norms. They have been having fun at the house. At some point they talk jokingly about sex then more seriously. When they get out if the pool the protagonist (I imagine a guy) goes to explore the house. No one says it, but it is a pretence to find a private room. The guy pulls his girl into a room and they start making out, their young hearts racing. She tells him the room is no good, and after a few arguments on how great the room would be she whispers in his ear that the insulation isn't good enough. Everyone might know what they are doing, but they aren't like girlfriend x, which is also his ex, who has fantasies of being looked at.

The solution is the attic. Another floor between them and the rest should make her cries of pleasure more private. The door is locked, as the friend mentioned before, but a simple trick he learned on a video streaming service made the old lock open easily.

The sensor activates, turning on the LED lights. They call out to their friends in amazement. The man-cave is insane. The teal light strips give everything a strange glow. A 6 monitor setup is obviously starting up automatically, the domotica setting up everything from the AC to the lights. The rest gathers to see, and they finally enter. The lights dim a soft reddish, and the computer is logging in on several apps. Spotify, a browser, etc.

But as they walk in they see what was behind the wall. The mental whiplash of cameras and special lighting. Pillows, beds and sex toys. There in the middle of the camera attention is a sybian.

Discussions break out, and to their friends discomfort they openly fantasise the obvious what is happening there. Then our protagonist mentions to his ex that she always wanted to try a sybian. She was notoriously difficult to get an orgasm, and it might help. They pressure her to try it out, as she also liked the voyeurism. She tries to deflect that it was strangers she would never meet again, not close friends that would see her. Eventually she relents as everyone is in a horny and agreeable mood.

She dons a long t-shirt to at least cover herself. After taking off her underwear she decides not to go, and at best sit behind the action part on the sybian, arguing with the rest.

His partner is on the computer in the meantime. She wants to know what kind of games he plays, and how fast they go on the absolute beast if a machine. She tries to open steam, telling him it is open but can't find it. He understands it is probably on one if the two monitors that are still off. He turns them on...

Steam is there, but behind it an app has a lot of movement going on. She clicks it. Text wizzes by. They see excited words and prices go by. They realise what it is. The cameras are live, and many people have shown up to see their regulars. With irregular people appearing, one in only a long t-shirt sitting close to the business end of the sybian, the internet goes wild. They try everything in their power to get the new offerings to do their bidding.

The ex is shocked, wanting to melt away from shame. However, when they see the combined amount of money that is offered she is intrigued, though not enough to do it.

The microphones are on though, so the amount quickly triples. With some encouragement from the room that they will somehow get her the money, she finally relents and sits in it properly. She tries to figure out the settings, soon enjoying the Sybian as much as she can with so many onlookers.

The crowd goes wild. Though if you give them a finger, they try to take the hand. They want more! A good friend who has been wanting his ex for a while now, and despite his green light to go fir his ex had been too shy, finally acts to fulfil the internet's dreams. The room tries to stop him, fearing he's going to ruin the threadbare moment as well as his chances with her, but are too late.

He's surprisingly gentle and she melts as much in his embrace as she seems to melt on the sybian. Even a kiss is granted. The t-shirt has crept up, uncovering more and more of her.

Not sure how it would continue, but this way too long outline is worked out much further in my head. I think it has a potential in many ways. You barge in on something unusual, and it can easily grow out of proportion. If one goes, it can lead to a (temporary) lowering of barriers of everyone, making any shared experience possible. We can add spectators, or pretend they are there. We can have them leave it there, horrified, but one or more people return later with a strange facination to try things out.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Um, wow! I think you have this one cold!

 

[Britva415]

Why would I know to think it's college somophores?

I'm positive that the story would make clear that it's at a college. Also, high-school sophomores of 15-16 age are very unlikely to be renting a place of their own. Granted, the story is about someone renting beyond their means anyway, but, there is an age at which renting independently isn't about means at all.

Thank you for the voice of calm and nuanced reason.

In retrospect, I begin to regret having opened this. Look, folks, I thought I was being clear; obviously not and that’s on me. However we think appropriate, we have (waving magic wand) established beyond any doubt that all concerned are maybe 20 years old and the underage minefield can be ignored.

That behind us, I do like some of the developmental suggestions and would be happy to continue .

It is clear to me now, and before was already surprised that TarnishedPenny would write that. Then again, you never know the true extend of people until it happens. I raised the concern, and they cleared it up. I think we had best focus on the actual story idea now. It has great potential.

Though I have to say you can get insane places if you are with a lot of people. I've rented villas as a broke student. We were just with a lot of people. Airbnb and the like has made it even easier. In that vein, it could just as well be a random rented house where a few doors are locked. The owners are away for a few months and rents it out so the property isn't idle. As a rule you do not open doors or closets that are locked.

The age thing is the problem here. Sugar daddy’s aside 15/16 ffs now I assume you can be a sophomore in hie school and college? This has to be defined.

Why are you still going on and on about this? This part of tangent to the "discussion" is OVER.

The word itself was already defined.

The question you asked was already answered.

The age of the character was already clarified.

Let's just fucking stop all that, fgs
