Bare and smooth

It should be no secret to readers of my erotica that I have a strong preference for a hairless pussy. One thing I have wondered for a while is how prevalent shaving/waxing/etc. is in the general population. Certainly among those who model it’s commonplace — but what about the girl next door?

I finally stumbled across the first reputable measure I’ve seen:

Indiana University researchers Debby Herbenick and Vanessa Schick found in a recent study that nearly 60 percent of American women between 18 and 24 are sometimes or always completely bare down there, while almost half of women in the U.S. between 25 and 29 reported similar habits.

Good to know. Though there is quite a bit of wiggle room in “sometimes or always.”

For the record, I don’t think men are exempt. I think it would be ungentlemanly to force something hairy down a lady’s throat, take steps accordingly, and encourage other men to be considerate as well.

By the way, in Neighborly, I mentioned the girls of a high-school swim team going bare, and added in the author’s notes that this was drawn from a true example. I have heard from several people over the years that this is quite a usual girls’ team practice. How very pleasant to contemplate!

Ladies’ choice

Men who clamor for a sequel to Neighborly do so for a pretty straightforward reason: they want more sex with characters they enjoyed (see the post Popular sequels).

Women readers also have a story that leaves them demanding, asking, or even begging for more: Earning Her Tuition.

What’s fascinating, though, is that they don’t want to read more of the student/college/producer/studio story. The ladies consistently plead for one particular sequel: the fourth movie.

You will perhaps recall that Corinna made three films for Handprint, and at the end of the story had returned to ask Mr. Browning to make one more film with her: a very specific scene with a very suggestive scenario.

What my readers are asking for, in large numbers, is the tale of a girl who is sent to her bedroom for a spanking — and, because of Handprint’s formula, a blow job and a facial.

I leave the exact rôles unspoken, but there can be no doubt that it would be a father-daughter scene. (Which, by the way, is a guarantee that I won’t write it.) I continue to wonder at the reason for the strong interest amongst my readers.

The theme of Earning Her Tuition is at heart Corinna’s relationship with her father. He is the one she dreads to disappoint; he is the one whose pride at her college admission still shines in her mind. He is the quietly authoritative figure she looks up to, and carries as a model for the kind of man she can admire and love. He is the reliable strength she is thinking of when she says:

It makes me think of being out in the field back home, with a strong wind blowing so hard you can kind of lean against it.

We know that Corinna was not spanked at home. I assert that there was nothing but fillial love between her and her father. She wants to make the bedroom scene not because it represents the relationship she wishes she had with her father, but because he is the archetype of the lover she does desire.

Could it be Doug Browning? The only way to know would be to write a sequel.

Popular sequels

Throughout the years, readers have asked many times for sequels to a favorite story. As you know, I haven’t yet written any — but I do keep a count of the requests.

Two stories stand out, not only in the number of requests, but in the way that folks insist on having sequels. That I don’t have an option. That they need more.

But the really curious thing is that men have one must-continue story, and women have another. Their clamor rises to equal levels, but the division in choices is quite striking.

Men overwhelmingly ask for the next (“missing”) scene in Neighborly. (Congratulations to reader Sirsgirl1630 for getting that one right.) The requests range from polite disappointment...

“I was looking forward to a threesome between Colin and the twins”

“...[S]tart the next story with the twins knocking on Mr. Ryhs door.”

“I only have one complaint. It stopped to short. I would love to see a sequel, where Mr. Rhys does in fact pop both twin teen cherries.”

...to outrage? desperation? pleading?

“What did I think of it?!?! NO NO NO NO YOU CANT DO THIS. YOUR QUESTION SUGGESTS THAT YOU'VE FINISHED THE STORY. COME ON, COLIN'S HAD THEM-THE WHOLE MISCRIENT FAMILY-RIGHT IN THE PALM OF HIS HUGE HAND. YOUR JUST GONNA END IT RIGHT THERE? PLEASE DONT, YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING. DAM IT!! I DONT THINK YOU REALIZE JUST HOW HARD IT IS FOR A SINGLE MOM TO RAISE TWO HORNY VIRGINS. COLINS WORK IS NOT DONE DAM IT.”

It’s not hard to figure out what is motiviating the gentleman reader. He just wants a little more action with the lovely, sexy, experienced/innocent, identical Emma and Molly, with a pair of deflorations to add some spice (maybe a bit spicier because of [Size]). Pretty basic stuff.

But the ladies...

Well, perhaps I can save that one for another post.
