I had an interesting email conversation with someone (who wishes to remain anonymous) the other day. I asked them if they had noticed, as I had, that the tone of my captions was slowly becoming 'nastier' (for want of a better word), the dominant female character more heartless, selfish and in some cases contemptuous of their sub male (indeed, only yesterday 'Throne' left this comment on my latest caption: "Her contemptuous tone and ridiculing attitude are perfect. I wonder how low she could drive her husband?").
He replied that he had noticed the change and furthermore pondered aloud... "I wonder whether you could influence somebody's sexual interests just by posting different captions?". He went on to elaborate, "As an experiment, if you took an average guy who liked normal porn - white female / white male - and asked him to look at just one website for a year, which contained just one caption and one story which increased slightly in strength every day, so little as to be almost unnoticeable, but over the course of the 365 days had progressed to feel blown cuckoldry, big black cocks and creampies, I wonder if Mr Average would have been converted?". I'm guessing, unless Mr Average has a very rigid mind, or is particularly racist (in this example) that he would be.
I commented to my friend that some stories and to a much lesser extent captions (in my opinion, I just don't think they last long enough to have the same effect) can have an unusually intense effect on me. I'm sure we all have our favourite stories after all, the ones that somehow just hit all the right notes every time. I don't think it's necessarily that they are written by the best authors, and another person might find them wholly unremarkable, it's just that for whatever reason they somehow manage to trigger all your 'horny buttons'.
This can seem strange or possibly even a little troubling if the story in question falls outside your comfort zone. Perhaps your favourite story involves some really intense and heavy S&M, or perhaps a same-sex element which you are not entirely comfortable with, and yet it sets you off like a Roman Candle whether you like it or not...
Some of you may remember that a while back I painstakingly retyped a story that I had read in a copy of Forum magazine called 'Feeling Cucky' (click 'here' to read this story). This is perhaps the perfect example of what I'm talking about. On the face of it, it's not a very 'nice' story and flies in the face of everything I want and believe in. And yet until just recently I could not read this story without getting hard and feeling almost nauseously horny.
There have been other stories in the past that have had a similar effect, though none quite so dramatic.
I mentioned this story to my friend and he hadn't seen it so I pointed him towards it and after reading it he commented, "Just read it and I know exactly what you mean, love it and hate it at the same time, there's something really horny about Linda, the cruel bitch." He went on to pinpoint a part of the story that I also found particularly intense... "It's the part in the car when she touches his cock and teases him, it's at that point when she knows she holds all the power."
Now as long time readers of my blog will know, the fact that this story has/had such an strong effect on me (repeated reading has diminished the effect somewhat) was more than a little troubling to me as it does indeed fall way outside my own comfort zone, but nevertheless I can't deny that I went back to read it again and again.
So what is it about this story that particular gets me? Well, obviously that's a hard one to answer, but one thing I did come up with is the element of believability. Okay, so anyone who's read the story might think that's a rather strange argument to try and make, but bear with me. When I say believability, I think the thing that sets this story apart is that it's nicely circumvents it's biggest obvious stumbling block, namely how do you turn the wife from being loving and shy into a completely heartless slut and make it believable? You can't. Right, so instead the author doesn't even try to do this. He pushes the wife (Marie) into the background and makes the story centre around the relationship between the main character (Mike) and Linda (the bad influence). As a story telling device it's brilliant!
If you read the story, Marie never undergoes any kind of dramatic (and unbelievable) character change, other than she becomes a slut, but in a sex story that's quite easy to go along with, much easier than a personality change to slip by your audience. Linda is a heartless bitch right from the start too, so there's no leap of faith to be made there and Mike's submissive side gradually and naturally increases as the story develops. The only slightly weak link in the chain is Linda's dominant boyfriend 'Luke' but for the most part his character is represented only through Linda's words and so this is not such an issue.
It's Linda who teases him about his inadequacies as a lover, who tells him that her boyfriend is going to fuck his wife whether he likes it or not, who sends him video clips of Marie worshipping Luke's cock... Marie's part in the whole story is almost peripheral, in fact she's hardly even granted any dialogue, only her soft moans of 'Eat it, eat it all' when Mike goes down on her after she has been on a date with 'Luke' stick in the mind...
All of which is very interesting of course, but which still doesn't answer the question of why does it have such a strong effect on me? Unfortunately, that's something I haven't yet figured out.
