An Appreciation of EA

I posted a version of this over at the "Stories" message board, not sure what is the appropriate forum. Triggered by a dream, just before waking this morning. And it made me appreciate EA, in a new way.

Seems I was back in college, in a creative writing class. The professor was an enigmatic and attractive older woman; perhaps I fantasized about a relationship. She assigned us to write a story, our choice of subject, no constraints. In the dream it seemed entirely appropriate for me to choose, as a story line, something with the recurrent penectomy (emasculation) theme as evidenced in all my EA stories; not only would it be enjoyable to write, but - (this feeling came through strongly in the dream) - there was a deeper pleasure in knowing that she would be compelled to read it. And, although she would be grading it on its creative and literary merits, she could not avoid fully understanding, from a woman's point of view, the events portrayed in the story - a woman's role and relationship with a (doomed) penis - observing its erections, bringing about a final ejaculation, and at that crucial moment, its removal by some means. Writing all this into the story, for her to read, seemed an utterly simple, natural (and highly erotic) decision.

It didn't go much farther than that; I awoke soon after with a rigid morning erection and the sweet lingering aftertaste of a rare erotic dream.

It made me appreciate in a new way what a remarkable forum EA has been for me and many others; here we are free to write anything that reflects our deepest, darkest erotic desires with (almost) no constraints whatsoever. Without EA, I would still feel compelled to write, but the only reader would be me. I love to share. Big and sincere thanks to EA and all its contributors and supporters!

Yes. I so agree. Writing about deepest darkest desires is undoubtedly a kind of therapy. It's not so much that it gets rid of deepest darkest desires but in some way it helps the writer to control them rather than they control the writer.

I think there is an effect too whereby the act of writing down those thoughts and feelings in short story form concretises them and lets the writer explore those desires and so understand (and enjoy) them better.

Possibly it could be a rehabilitation technique for people in gaol for crimes of violence and sexual assault. A collection of such stories (perhaps with a little editing for spelling and punctuation) could well be a best seller too.

This site has been a breath of fresh air for me. If it wasn't for this site, I'd still be dealing with the thoughts in my head alone.
