1: Beth Naked in School by peregrinf Beth Finch convinces her parents to sign her up for the Naked in School Program, and to her surprise, she's chosen almost at once. It's great fun to watch her sort through her conflicted feelings about public nudity and sex. In a touching and funny scene, she gives up her virginity to her beloved Carl, but she stops him before he can say he loves her. The Program is making her hornier than she can handle, and she's convinced she's on the verge of doing something monumentally slutty. If he still loves her after that, she tells him, then he can go ahead and say it. It's a great set up for an act of school spirit that makes Beth a living legend. Peregrinf is a professional who wrote some classic titles in the golden age of paperback porn, and his experience is on full display here. The writing is conversational and vivid, and there's even a real plot. I love Beth.
2: Carl Naked in School - Beth's Story by peregrinf Karen Wagner invented the Naked in School Universe, but to my mind, peregrinf perfected it. So far, he has written four nearly novel-length stories on "the program" and is working on a fifth. All deal with the same constellation of young characters, and my affection for them has only deepened as the series has gone on. It's hard to pick one jewel amid the riches, but I have to go with this one and "Beth: Naked in School."( So that's two jewels.) Beth is my favorite of peregrinf's narrators — a smart, shy girl who, through the program's influence, gradually emerges from her shell as an oversexed exhibitionist. In this instance, peregrinf completely retells his first NIS tale, "Carl: Naked in School," day by day, almost minute by minute, but from Beth's point of view. That he would attempt anything so risky says a lot about him as an author. That he pulls it off so successfully says even more. The Great Dress Hunt is a classic set piece I've returned to again and again.
3: Taylor's Growing Up by Lauren Lauren is the master of the slow tease. In "Taylor's Growing Up," she establishes a flirtation between Taylor, a horny, mature-looking 12-year-old girl, and Jack, her brother's best friend, who is 17, and she takes her time turning up the heat. The story is up to Chapter 13 now, with more to come, and the relationship still hasn't been consummated, but while we're waiting, we're treated to every other sexual situation imaginable — manual, oral, even sexting. Jack's girlfriend and Taylor's brother begin to get suspicious. Taylor's mother also notices she's growing up and decides to teach her a thing or two about self-pleasuring. As things get hotter, they get more complicated with the inevitability of farce. This is not just a good sex story; it's a good story, period.
