What is wrong with cuckold stories?

[i812]

I live with a Sex Goddess, but sometimes she forgets that she is a Sex Goddess.

So I seduce her.

For most of 2006 I shamelessly used you folks. I read her your stories and scored every time. Thank you and congratulations on a perfect record.

However she got wise to my tactic. I enjoy the chase as much as the kill, so I changed tactics. I resorted to tricking her into letting me read one of your stories to her. She trusts me so it was not all that difficult.

But then she quit trusting me. She would not let me read one of your stories to her no way, no how.

I have a phobia of blue balls and I was in a panic.

Then in a stroke of serendipitous inspiration it dawned on me that she would not refuse to let me read her a story that I had authored.

Now I can spot a trend and it became obvious that your slut wife stories affected her the most.

So I wrote one.

Eureka! I was back on the right side of the power curve again.

Last Friday I contributed it to Literotica as a partial payback for all the benefit that I have received, and the story posted this Monday. I love Literotica and I love you. After all, I gave up my virginity to you Wednesday.

In the past four days the story has received 26,761 views. I don't know if that is good or bad, but it certainly surprises me. You have no doubt heard about the tree that fell in the wilderness, and my greatest fear was being that tree.

Then I get all of this feedback telling me that I have a lot of guts publishing a wimp husband story. I thought it was a slut wife story. It pushed every one of the Sex Goddess' buttons. Besides that I carry my balls around in a wheelbarrow.

Further, I get inundated by trolls. I haven't been able to thank them privately, so with your indulgence I would like to rectify that here publicly. I want the trolls to know that I hate them and their whole famn damilies so mucken fuch that they can just go buck a fuzzard. The sick illiterate fother muckers.

Furthermore, **** **** *** *** ***** **** **** ** **!

Here is fair warning to everyone that does not like "cuckold stories."

If you cannot convince me here, that they are not good stories.

I will post two more of them right in your face!

Do they trigger some deep seated fear or desire?

Loving wives is the most loved/hated category. Do a thread search on this forum and you'll find plenty of rants by authors trying to figure that cat out.

So long as it gets you laid, it's a good story. Don't worry about the rest.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Such is Loving Wives...you either get bombed or loved by the trolls.

The Loving Wives category is, by far, the most contentious. It seems that the readers of that category are not just disappointed when a story doesn't pander to their specific hot button, but are vicious in their reactions when it doesn't.

There are those that will hate you if you write a story where the husband is a "wimp."

With those, you can redeem yourself slightly if the husband exacts some sort of grisly revenge on his wife.

Then, there are those who will hate you if the husband is not an accepting cuckold. They are just as vicious as the first type when their specific fantasy isn't catered to.

And, then there's Don, who will low vote you every single time unless your female protag gets pregnant.

Just put on your kevlar, and ignore them.

Funny enough, that's been the motto of legitimately published authors since before Shakespeare.

You are right on. I knew that I should probably run for cover. I turned off public comments and posts before I submitted the story.

BTW thanks for the welcome Wednesday.

No problem. I was having a good day at the time.

Been there done that!

I have no clue, I don't read LW stories, and I don't write LW stories...but...if it floats your boat...go for it...

I find it hard to believe that it is an unanswered question.

When you find the answer, let us know.

There is a terrible dichotomy about this category, does loving wife mean they will do anything for their spouse or will do anything for a fuck. Half the readers look for the former half for the latter. Us smuck writers are hung if we swing this way or that. I dared to put a few lines of BSDM into a loving wives tale and the feedback is mostly negative. Wrong category being the biggest complaint.
We wrtite for free you read for free what more can I say.

When I vote or comment

I do it because I liked the story or hated it or somewhere in between. If I clicked the story spinner and it came up with a story about two guys blowing each other, I'd never finish it. Not my thing. I'm sure not gay. So no vote or comment either.

Not only am I straight, I'm also what the BDSM people like to call dominant. I don't practice the lifestyle or even play in it. Something totally different. So when I read a story about a guy who lets his wife get away with cheating on him, it sort of pisses me off. That's why mostly I don't read those stories.

So I read the one you had posted, because you asked for people to read it and comment. I went and read it and it pissed me off. I put that aside and said to myself, "Ok, this story is pretty well written. Not my thing but he did a good job. So I voted, commented and posted a reply to your post.

Why does it piss me off? We won't go into that. I'll rant for a month and I'm already ranting now. I'll shut up now before I piss everyone else off.

I applaud your honesty.

However, you illustrated a key point, I think, when you said, "I went and read it and it pissed me off. I put that aside and said to myself, "Ok, this story is pretty well written. Not my thing but he did a good job."

Unfortunately, most readers aren't here to appreciate a well-written bit of prose.

I think that's why the Loving Wives category has such a huge troll population. They vote because they get pissed off. It doesn't matter how well-written a story is. All that matters is that they got "pissed off."

It amuses the shit outta me to read the comments on stories in that category - sometimes the comments are longer than the story itself, and the people commenting seem to believe that the characters are real, instead of just being a figment of the author's imagination.

At least you could step outside of that mindset, and realize what you were doing. I have no such hopes for the rest of the Loving Wives readers.

Yeah well, most of them (LW readers) come to Lit to jerk off into a pair of silk panties they swiped out their wifes drawer.

I lurked (is that still a common usage?) here at Lit for quite a while. Anyway if I didn't have something constructive to say I kept my mouth shut. I think I'll go stare at V's shoes a while and calm myself.

<whoops>
You really like the shoes, huh?

tbh I agree with your original premise- if the category is not to your tatse then do not read the stories, no matter whether another author asks. Literotica is for people to enjoy themselves - I'm sure i812 would understand if you choose not to read his stories Shame the trolls don't just click the 'back' button when they realise a story is going the wrong way.

I have not been able to find any statistics on the typical number of views for the first week of an LW story. Can anybody point me to them?

I hope to write what people will read. Swimming upstream can drown you.

Congratulations!

In the past four days the story has received 26,761 views. I don't know if that is good or bad, but it certainly surprises me. You have no doubt heard about the tree that fell in the wilderness, and my greatest fear was being that tree.

You're doing well, boy.

My most-read story has been up there for a bit more than 900 days, and has had 14967 views. My eleven stories have an aggregate total of 71,103 views, or an average of 6464 each. so 26,000 in four days is bloody good going!

Is that the side with the tattoo on? Must be, I haven't seen it yet

So I read the one you had posted, because you asked for people to read it and comment. I went and read it and it pissed me off. I put that aside and said to myself, "Ok, this story is pretty well written. Not my thing but he did a good job. So I voted, commented and posted a reply to your post.

I took your comment as one of the nicest compliments. A well told story is a well told story.
I read a spanking story by Nola. I don't understand that fetish, but the story was so well written that I read it twice on two different days. I learned something.

Erotic literature arouses more emotion that any other. Why it pisses you off and why you can rant for a month, is a clue to the answer of what to write.

btw Has your story posted?

Thank you so much for some numbers. It is hard wired in me to target a market. I can take the criticism as long as I still have them in the audience. I suspect that it is a very fine line.
