1. Why are you channeling the grinning dick?

I was a swinging dick when the word meant Marine - back in the ancient days when a BBS and Fido Net was basically the only ways to read porn. You had to just watch it on VHS - how barbaric is that?

Lol. I'd imagine he and I have the same sense of humor. I don't really know.

2. A stroke is in the brain. "holding my chest and saying "Hnnnggggggg!!!!" is probably a heart attack. They aren't the same thing.

The next time I have a stroke, I want you there to remind me to grab my brain then.

But that was also when the term used was often "Big Green Weenie".

gonzo porn

Personally I find the idea of muppets having sex to be a turn off. Even Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Especially Miss Piggy,

What about Rosie O'Donnell?

What about Rosie O'Donnell?

Actually, early on she was kinda cute. Back when she did Stakeout or A League Of Their Own. Long before she turned into the ugly troll she is now.

no sex: if it's R rated, it's due to language and violence

No sex could be G-rated. No violence. No language.

I read stroke stories entirely wrong then.

Let's say I finish before the story. Next time I go back to where I left off and continue.

I am that guy who opens 200 tabs on porn hub to find a video with a little plot/premise before I can knock one out - but then it only takes 2 minutes.

So if I stopped as soon as I blew my load I'd never know how the story ends.

There was a video that was essentially the plot I just told you in my early post - it was that hackey.

The step-sister is chasing around the step-brother and trying to get his dick.

Her mom tells her she is weird and to stop but then realizes the boy is going to be incredibly wealthy (for reasons not realy specified) so she wants to teach him to resist floozies.

So she has the sister tease him at breakfast, and when she gets up and then returns, catches the daugther sucking his dick.

"Well, you couldn't even resist for 5 minutes? I guess we have no choice. We'll both have to fuck you until you have so much sex you are able to resist sluts"

It's super not even plausible and yet honestly, it was the best I could find after 3 hours so it had to do.

That's why I prefer written stories.

That being said - this could account for why I have lower readership after the first few chapters. They blow their load and don't return.

Now I feel like all those girls felt that I used to know in high school that I never called again.

I'll down grade to "Much sex"

Some sex = sex or romance may be significant plot focus but unlikely the sole one; there's at least one unapologetically sexual situation, but even if described in great detail descriptions of sex acts take relatively small share of total word count.

Much sex = story likely revolves around sexual experiences of main characters but there's still plot and other events; sexual situations are described in great detail and there's probably several; descriptions of sex take significant share of total word count.

I don't agree. A some sex story can have plenty of sex and the plot might even revolve around the sex, BUT it's "some" rather than "much" because there's a lot of plot.

anything with sex above 50% of total text I would likely qualify as "stroke story" even if very clever.

I still use the old description for "stroke" — no plot. I don't know why that was changed.

I write cinematically. Call it descriptive, show don't tell, or whatever. So although the number of sex scenes might be a low percentage of the total number of scenes, the number of words to describe them might be a high percentage as to the number of words in the story. Especially if the plot revolves around sex (I include character development as part of plot).

In my novel "High School Massacre," I use sex (and violence) to show the power and evilness of the drug lord. I use sex to show the despicabiity of the border guard and sheriff and to justify what happens to them at the end. I use sex to show the despair the heroine is going through and how much she is willing to sacrifice for her children. And even the relationship between her and her husband. So, yeah, there are a lot of words dedicated to sex, but I would label it as some sex because there is much plot.

Can you have much plot AND much sex? The problem is, labeling a story as "much sex" might send the wrong message. Defining it as erotica should suffice.

There could easily be no sex story with no plot either

That sounds like a legitimate 1-vote. "You call this a story?"

I understand Hillary Mantel was miffed she didn't even make the shortlist this year. I'd pay NOT to read her Thomas Cromwell saga.

AJ

Scene count.

all scenes are sexual = stroke

35-90% of scenes sexual = much sex

10-35% of scenes sexual = some sex

This is why I don't fit these molds well.

First, I don't write "Scenes" as much as I do a flowing narrative. It's just one long flow without a feeling that he scene ended like in a television show that fades to black. At least I hope not because that would be stilted as hell.

Second, lots of sexually interesting things happen in my stories but it may not be a dick in a pussy kind of sex. It may be a naughty dare game, or flashing, or a hot Morgan Fairchild-esque cougar teasing the main character while she gives him a ride home from high school.

So to me, its 100% sexual but not sex.

Ultimately, I think I've learned that Stroke = lack of plot to many and so that's not what I want.

In stroke, it doesn't matter why.

It does to me though. I can't stroke with no context.

These "Friday Flash Stories" are the bane of my fucking existence.

I don't begrudge anyone who likes them. I wish there was a filterable category for them though.

Basically, it's three paragraphs written in the most unreadale dialect of cartoon hillbilly. The premise always grabs me.

"Oh cool, a bunch of rednecks trying to fuck their sister and mom to see which one feels best..."

Then I click on it and I am like "Holy shit, I have the opposite of a boner right now.."

It's neither a story nor even remotely enjoyable to try to decipher the language. There is no start - no reason to care who is who or why they are doing this. It's a vignette at best.

Me n maw-maw wuz flyrtin like we do. I pulz out my peka and I shot my cum up at a squiral, and it hit a moonpye we had hangin on da rooftop and rychoshayed off my sista's eyball, and then up come a bumblin crude, and so we moved to Bavarly, Hills that is..movie staz..swamman poolz." and I am like "Oh fuck, this is never gonna be worth the effort. I can't get through this.

If that's stroke, I want no part of it. I still want to stroke though.

I hope that doesn't paint me as a snob. I would just love it if I felt a little connection to any of these people. If I can't place myself in the setting or feel anything about the people - I can't imagine being turned or moved in anyway by what happens.

Porn for the emotionally dead inside.

"So these two people don't even know each other? Why are they fucking?"

In stroke, it doesn't matter why.

My definition is that a stroke story is one where the purpose of any plot ad character development is to get your characters into bed -- or wherever they have sex.

WHAT!! You mean a stroke story isn't a story about that little guy working the small oar in a competition rowing scull?
