I've been working around this idea for a while, even started to write it twice but sort of lost the plot!!
A couple in their thirties win a time trip as a competition prize. They decide to travel back and engage in some imaginative action with their younger selves. The man as an 18 year old is keen to lose his cherry to the attractive older woman and, as his older self persuasively points out, "What harm is there in sucking your own cock? You've tried to do it often enough in the past".
They move on to initiate the younger version of the wife (also 18 curiously enough) into straight and lesbian sex. As a finale they introduce the young couple to each other and the story ends in a no holes barred orgy.
It could happen. Maybe the next knock on my door will be them.
Any comments would be valued. Is it a plot worth tackling?
 
Shyjohn;

Go for it!

It might help you to forego plotting at all. Just outline individual scenes that interest you, one per page. Add any details, snippets of dialogue, images or description that comes to mind. Don't worry about how they fit, or any such nonsense. Keep at it for a week or so. When you have a pile of possible scenes, go through them, weeding out those that are too repetitious, boring, or trite. Often you can incorporate details from two or three scenes into one larger, complex scene.

Now that you have a collection of scenes you want, it is time to build a plot around them. The beauty of this system is that you can easily shift scenes around to suit. As they are only ideas and are not fully visualized, it is also easy to make them fit almost anywhere in your emerging storyline. Often, a particularly interesting scene will suggest an entire storyline, and all you have to do is answer the 5 Ws and H to get a completed story.

I hope this suggestion helps you. I'd like to see your story. Reminds me a lot of Heinlein's stuff. Check out his Lazarus Long stories. I think you'll like it.

Cheers!

Thanks for the advice Tatewaki. It makes good sense. I'll apply your ideas to what I've done already and see how it pans out. I've got the inventive (dirty) mind and the word processor, now all I need is the time and the talent.
I think that if nobody had replied I wouldn't have bothered but the fact that two people took the trouble to reply to my post was all the encouragement I needed. Thanks.
 
Shyjohn;

Glad you liked the suggestions. I hope they work for you.

Regards,
