Do you find things in storys that make

[Alex Bragi]

Yes, I understand exactly where you’re coming from, but let’s not forget they’re not called fantasies for nothing.

I think perhaps when the feeling of suspended believe is broken, that’s when the author has simply gone too far. And let's face it, some writers are better at stretching it than others.

As for size, length, etc. I feel its more intriguing to let the reader visualize exactly how big, ‘big’ is, rather than giving precise measurements.

Yes, for example, there are the subtle ways of describing a size, by changing only a few words to give it an entirely new meaning, example:

His tool was the the size of her wrist, it was that big.

That makes it sound super duper big. However, if you change just a little bit...

She looked at his tool, noticing that it looked as big as her wrist, it was that big.

The second one is a bit more vague, an exaggerated description in the girl's mind, where the first one is the actual description of it. Not to say one of the above examples is better than the other, I have simply brought them up to compare them.

I tend to think that porn stories are very much like science fiction stories. At least the stories I enjoy are.

It is the author's job to make the unbelievable believable. Read any of the top rated stories or most any that really sticks out in your mind. What are the chances of this actually happening? Slim to nill. However, if the author has done a good job, then not only to we stretch reality, we stretch the reader's imagination.

Who the fuck wants to read about someone getting off work, watching TV and then having dinner. We do it every day. Why the fuck should we read about someone else doing it?

Now a story where someone goes home, pops a beer, looks around at his/her messy house, and says to themselves, "You know what, I'm going to turn someone into my slave." automatically has my interest.

[Neopadinski]

Yes, that's a good point. I think where the debate came from was when the authors DO take it beyond the "actual life" aspect, to the truly fictional story, but take it too far to be entertaining, because it's far too obscure. They do make the "unbelievable believable", as you so eloquently put it, but then they take it a step further into making the "believable unbelievable". This is where the actual topic originated.

I agree with Mobius .... I must say that I almost always agree with him, we are on the same wave lenght .... But I giggleg a littel when I red:

"for example but there was a story published to the libary I do not remember the title but one of the harlets was impaled on a pole so High that she could not get off without assistance.
It was used as a form of restrant"

Well, on the "personal pictures" thread, I have posted a couple of pics of my former slave caroline, asking the viewers to guess how she was restrained. The large lurker tribe watched, copied the pics to their disks, but nobody actually commentde nor tried to guess .... well she was impaled.

The pole was a 3cm wooden curtain bar blocked in one of those metal basements for large sun-umbrellas, a very large and heavy base, where the pole was blocked with some screws.

At the end of the pole we left one of the two wooden balls that are put as an ornament and stop the curtain rings from slipping out. This ball was 8 cm in diameter (a little over 3 inches).

On each of the two sides of the pole I piled three bricks (they are 6 cm high, about 2,5 inch). Caroline climbed on the bricks and tiptoeing sunk her cunt on the wooden ball (previously greased with gelly) and, with some effort, managed to get it inside her.
Then, on my istruction, she slowly and carefully kicked the first brick away from under her right and left foot and let the wooden pole start to penetrate her vagina. She repeated the exercise with the second brick and finally she pushed even the last two bricks away and stood on her tip toes, while the wooden ball entered her womanhood about 6-7 inches. At thispoint I tied her hands behind her back, pulling them up thru a hose on her collar, to give me a free access to her butts. Now I flogged her all over her exposed body while she was actually impaled and had no chance to free herself without help. As a consequence of the whipping she lowered herself even for another inch on the pole, as she could not permanently stay on her tiptoes.

After the punishment, I untied her hands and pushed the first two bricks near her feet so that she could climb over them. The exercise was repeated with the next two and the last two and she was free again and could leave the pole.

This is not an exageration, nor a fantasy ... it was made and can be safely repeated by anyone (with the due care). I have it all on a video, but I lack the hardware, software and ability to post it.

If I hadn't seen it, I probably wouldn't have believed it *crossing my legs tightly*

Personally I like a little of the impossible. After a tentacle waving, alien story you won't look at a plate of calamari quite the same way.
