All Comments on 'Penni'

I don't know. Not much to say. I didn't find it sexy and exciting. Rather bland.

BUT thank you for writing.

Open sex with others is safer than separate dates for a couple. The biggest danger with attachments are single people. They tend to cross lines and not respect that the person they are having sex with is already in a relationship and in love.

The couple in this story handled Anne well. Sometimes the single person is not so cooperative.

Beware of that when you do the open marriage with dates thing.

Fuul open swapping is safer. Its just about the sex. Nothing is hidden and bith couples are going home with their spouse after.

Little long winded, sex got (forgive me! please) a bit boring.

Awesome job of portraying a positive open marriage. Nice change of pace.

The concept is enticing, and the potential is there, but it came across almost clinical even with Anne getting attached it just seemed mundane. There was actually very little character development, and for me that helps with the excitement. Part of that may be do to the documentary nature of the story telling in this case. Will go find Joyce and see if it reads the same way. The effort is appreciated though, I think I have the same style in my stories. Practice I guess will fix that. Thanks again for writing.

Was this supposed to be a stroke story? I had to skip through all the sex scenes looking for a plot, some drama and suspense. Was Anne's falling for the husband supposed to be the big drama thing?

Guess they continue to fuck around on whatever terms they mutually agree to, for now. Until they get bored fucking around, or get bored with each other. But who cares? Totally uninteresting and crude people. All they know is work and fucking?

Well, thanks for trying.

And a well-crafted one as well. Your character development was minimal, however, but sufficient I guess. I don't like to critique an author's basic story premise and how the plot unfolds. It's his or her story, not mine. I try to place myself in that story and see whether I can identify with it, if I could imagine myself in such a story and how would I respond at critical turns of that plot. Having said all that . . .

I confess that I've had relationships that were "just sex" and I've had a couple in which there was a significant, deep and mutual love. Not only is there no comparison, let alone equivalence, but after experiencing both, I "went along with" an opportunity for a one night stand while on a business trip. That was the last time I ever did that. But can that feeling include more than two people? I don't know. Maybe so. But I can't imagine the environment where I could do justice to two women or that I could participate fully if it were another male and I with a woman we both claimed to love.

But that's me. I guess the difference is that in a loving relationship, sex is an experience of selflessness, whereas "just the sex" is much too self-centered.

Anyway: you write well, both technically and creatively. I appreciate your efforts.

Long time since I read such a load of crap.

...the leap from "only do it when he's ok n the road" to full group sex was a little fast, but I enjoyed the read.

The superfluous homophobia turned a marginal story into a truly unfortunate one. None of the characters were developed in such a way that generated curiosity about or empathy for them. The sex acts were not erotically depicted. Hard to imagine that the surprises planned for future meetings would be of interest.
