Your opinions, please

[BedtimeStories77]

Okay, thanks to some chat with a friend of mine I had another story idea. It could go one of two ways, and I want the opinions of others here on which they prefer.

Working title(s): My Gay Husband or My "Gay" Husband

1.) He is gay and the marriage is a straight coverup for work and society. Both partners are allowed to discretely have sex with whom they want.
2.) The husband is bi, therefore the quotes in the second title.

Either way, the wife watches her husband have sex with men. Is it the ultimate "Loving Wife" tale? Or do ya'll think the readers of LW would flame me for it?

It' seems they flame just about everything in "Loving Wives". I think you should go w/o the quotes tho.

If it is the first one it should go in Gay Male. Loving wives seems pretty specific about what it includes.

My question is what is the conflict in the story? I can see how it can be a sex story, but I would think you have a plot in mind? Does the wife really want the husband under the secrecy? Does the husband wonder what it would be like to actually know his wife?

Anyway, I would go with option 1, and no quotes.

Why don't you do the obvious?

Write both.

Thanks Rydia!

I haven't gotten that far yet. lol

Yes, if I wrote the first one there'd be no quotes.

Write both.

Then I'd need another title.

You already have two titles, one with and one without the quotes.

I prefer Idea #2, but would vary it slightly - the husband starts out as gay, and the marriage is intended as a convenience for family, business, etc, but one driunken night....soon they are having secret hetro sex that he has to cover up from his gay guy pals.

I also agree that a certain segment of LW readers will flame any story.

That's a nice twist hon. I like it.

Personally, I prefer story #1. I think the conflict should be that the wife has married her gay 'best friend', whom she is really in love with, but he doesn't know. Perhaps he is a high profile business man, and has married her for his trophy wife, whereas she, apparently, has married him for a visa (or some other semi-practical reason). However, the truth is, she lusts after him terribly and secretly watches him as he takes lovers, conflicted with jealousy and arousal.

I don't really like the idea of her 'converting' him, as some people have suggested, but perhaps he does eventually end up having some sort of sexual interlude with her (when they are drunk, or there is some sort of emotional crisis), but afterwards he withdraws from her in confusion and/or disgust.

Then again, I hate happy endings. That's just me!

aw, but the nice thing about life is that ( until death) there are really no endings, so lotsa time to fuck it up yet!

Interesting take. I like this.

Thanks Eve! I'd like to read this story when you're done with it.

hows about you write a version too?

 

[Darla_Darling]

Actually, I have been toying with a similar idea for some time, with some slightly different plot points (focusing very much on the voyeuristic angle). I may just do so, if I ever finish what I'm working on at the moment!
