{ASSM} {ASSTR} The Fix

By Bradley Stoke <bradley_stoke@hotmail.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35990

A lonely, fifty-year-old man is out walking through a crummy part

of town. He's looking to feed his compulsion for prostitutes. One

of his usuals gets picked up by someone else before he can get to

her, and he has to settle for a woman who looks like she just

broke out of a drug rehab center.

This story is not pretty. The man is pathetic, and the girls are

almost ghastly. It's a sad situation. The ending fits with the

tone of the story, although it comes out of the blue.

The reason to read the story is to appreciate the ugliness of it.

The sex is creepy and isn't much of a turn-on, but it's still an

artful and vivid story.

{ASSM} Rite of Spring (mF, no sex, wife)

By Eddie <nitetimeguy74@yahoo.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/35996

A fourteen-year-old boy is babysitting for a glamorous couple.

After the kids go to sleep, he flips through the late night cable

movies and finds one that raises his teenage libido to the point

where he begins to masturbate.

And then Mrs. Lavelle walks in. Fortunately, Mrs. Lavelle

understands the way boys are, and she helps him release all that

nasty tension that has built up in his young penis.

The story has its ups and downs. There are some very nice

passages and some awkward ones. The story is at its best after

the arrival of Mrs. Lavelle, when all the embarrassment and

arousal gets mixed up in the boy's head. While it is sexy, the

story is not a pure stroke story and doesn't go too far. The way

the story closes down gives it a ring of truth.

With more consistent writing, it would be a very good story. And

even as it is, it's still worth checking out.

{ASSM} NEW: Frustration {Friends Of Elizabeth} (MF rom)

By Artist Formerly Known As Kieyra <kieyra@yahoo.com>

Jaysen has had a crush on Natalie for a long time, but Natalie

was seeing Jaysen's best friend, Danny. And then Natalie shows up

at Jaysen's front door with the announcement: Danny has dumped

her.

Normally, in ASSM, this would be an excuse for the couple to jump

into bed, but not so here. Instead, Jaysen and Natalie fight. You

see, Jaysen feels bitter about Natalie choosing Danny over him.

And Natalie has a stubborn streak.

This story has a lot going for it. Best of all is the varied

emotions that go with the unconsummated infatuation. Jaysen and

Natalie have a lot to work through before they can be a real

couple.

Parts of the story felt unbalanced, though. Jaysen has a minor

psychological problem that doesn't show up until near the end,

which makes the story spin off in a different direction just as

the sexy stuff gets started. The final part of the story, too,

feels more rushed than the build up. There are also several

technical problems with the writing, although they don't detract

much from the reading.

But this is still a very nice look at a difficult emotional

situation.

{ASSM} NEW - Tidal Wave (FF, Rom, Cons, Oral, Slow) - Sara H

By Sara Hart <sara_h2020@yahoo.com>

Traci's marriage has slowly deteriorated, leaving her alone in

her beautiful home. The loneliness begins to overwhelm her, and

she begins to step tentatively out into the world.

After a chance meeting in a deli, she strikes up a conversation

with Mason, a woman who seems to be having a less than perfect

life herself. After a run in with a soaking rain storm, they end

up back at Mason's old mansion, wearing robes, drinking wine, and

kindling the friendship Traci is desperate for.

The sex, when it comes, is mixed up with a lot of self-discovery

mumbo-jumbo, which would ordinarily make me roll my eyes. But in

this case, it works. Perhaps the technically superb writing put

me in a good frame of mind. Perhaps Traci's situation was written

so convincingly that I was ready to put up with anything. What ever.

This is an excellent story, and one you will very likely enjoy.

{ASSM} Impossible Lovers: Midnight Kiss {Valen} (mf-oral rom real)

By Valen Thyan <valen_thyan@hotmail.com>

http://assm.asstr.org/Year2002/36004

A man of undetermined age is sleeping on the sofa in a woman's

apartment. She comes home from a night out with friends and gives

him a blowjob while he reminisces about their relationship.

For my tastes, there isn't enough of a story here. We are

introduced to these characters, but by the time the story is

finished, we don't really see what their relationship is. Why is

he sleeping on the couch? What is this talk about love? Why is

their love impossible? It reads like part of a chapter out of a

longer work.

But the writing is good (I only noticed a handful of grammatical

errors), and there is an occasional flicker of brilliance. When

the flashbacks aren't interrupting things, the sex is good, too.

And while this story isn't one of my all time favorites, the

author has some talent, and I'll be looking to see what he comes

up with next.
