Yes, it might have been a good story, I'm not really shure, since I'm not part of the intended audience. Then why did I read it? Well you see, there was a little "misunderstanding" in the markings. It was marked as "straight". Now then... COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS STRAIGHT WITH MEN TOUCHING OTHER MENS BALLS??? THERE IS ONLY ONE WOMAN IN THE ENTIRE STORY AND SHE HAS ONE LINE!!!

Ahem, that rant wasn't solely meant for zipper, this happens from time and again here, making me think both once and twice before I go to this site. My personal nickname for this place is the "Blue oyster bar" since this seems to be a gaybar that has an uncanny ability to cloak itself for straight people, putting them in "trouble". Do you have any idea what turnoff it is to read a story you think will turn you on and instead goes in a totally other direction, turning you off in all possible ways? So you might say that if one don't like it, don't read it, that is true. And I NEVER EVER open any that says gay or bi, to each his own. Its the mislabeling I have a problem with, cause if you say its straight, I expect you not to be liar! And how hard could it be? I'm a writer, and of all things involved in making a story, isn't tags about the easiest part of it all? Come on! gay even has fever letters than straight. Or is it a turnon for you and others to know that you cause turnoffs in others? Could this be due to a default tag of straight, and people sometimes just missing to fill in the tags? That is a bit more understandable, but no matter what, please fix this.

The main character in the story is straight and there is no gay sex in the story. Maybe this one should be marked "none".

After reading your rant, I would encourage you to never open another story. We who write stories for this site would hate to offend and contaminate you by having you open a story that might have gay people in it, and at times, we might have a different opinion than you as to what is a gay or a straight story.

Losing you will, of course, be a tremendous loss to this site. I'm not sure how we'll survive.

Unregistered, you must have other better things to do than linger around a place where you've been assundered according to your own fundamentals. Literature in general is filled with fascination, inuendo, hyberboly, rights, wrongs, justices, injustices, fairness, unfairness, happiness and tragedy all at once and separately. Some of the best of those and plenty of others are illustrated in the writings found here. You appear very insecure of yourself. You appear unable to let yourself believe. You lack hope in the way life is gifted with the thrill of the next breath. Find yourself a safer canopy underwhich to moan the perplextions of existence.

[kristoff]

You might confuse between straight and gay ... I run STRAIGHT for dick.... I guess that makes me GAY.... And his name is not Dick .... Damn, so confusing!

A writer? You shouldn't check your books at the door. A good writer previews his work. Most modern PC's have tools like spell-checking and grammar suggestions to help avoid a laughable posting like this.

Here's a little help...

Yes, it might have been a good story,

part of the intended audience. Then

(delete) why (Why)

Yes, it might have been a good story.

I’m not really sure, since as a straight person, I don’t feel like I’m

part of the intended audience.

Why did I read it? Well you see,...there was a little “misunderstanding” in the ‘tags’. It was tagged as “Straight”. Now then,…

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS

“STRAIGHT” ABOUT MEN TOUCHING OTHER MENS TESTICLE

S??? THERE IS ONLY ONE WOMAN IN THE ENTIRE STORY, AND SHE HAS ONE LINE!!!

Ahem, that

‘rant’ wasn’t solely meant for Zipper. In my view, this happens time and again on this site. Makes me think twice before I enter. My personal nick-name for this site is “The Blue Oyster Bar”, since this seems to be a gay site

that has an uncanny ability to cloak itself

as straight; to put straight people in “trouble”. Do you have any idea what a turn-off it is to read a story that you think will turn you on, and instead goes totally in an

other direction, turning you off in all possible ways?

So,…you might say that if one doesn’t like it, don’t read it. This is true. To each his own. It i

s the mislabeling I have a problem with,

and I NEVER, EVER open any stories that say “Gay” or “Bi” in the headings. Because, if you say it is straight, I expect it to be! How hard is it to label the stories correctly? I’m a writer; and of all things involved in posting a story on this site, isn’t ‘tags’ the easiest part of all? Come on! The word ‘Gay’ even has fewer letters than the word ‘Straight’. Is it a turn-on for you and other authors to know that you turn-off straight visitors?

Could this be due to a default ‘tag’ of “Straight”, and people sometimes just forget to fill in the ‘tag’ blanks? That would be

a bit more understandable, but

if that’s the case, please fix the problem.

Aside from the fact that Zipper is one of my favorites, and an inspiration to write myself; I think you missed the point.

I read that story and didn't get offended. To me, the Pawn Shop owner was no different than any other 'Merchant' examining 'goods' or in this case, the intended 'collateral'. He was no different than a "straight" Physician examining his "straight" patient. He didn't fondle the boy's genitals. He simply evaluated them, after the boy had agreed to the terms (consent).

As a gay male, that 'scene' in the story was a tiny bit disappointing,...as the thought of a lecherous old man taking advantage of a down-and-out straight-boy's bad luck would have been titillating. He didn't 'make' the boy do anything other than drop his shorts. I would have measured, recorded and contracted the 'loan' with a witness, AND made him demonstrate the 'merchandise' in front of whomever may have been in the store!

As for your suggestion that this site is only a hang-out for Gay Males, I'm sure a lot of other Members and "Visitors" took as much offense to that statement as I did. But, as you said; "To each his own".

If it so offends thee, cut it off .



Seems like I remember seeing a warning label on the site's Enter Page that says;

The Eunuch Archive is a friendly support site for the Eunuch Community

It also says;

This site contains content that might be considered offensive. If you are offended by adult material about castration, if you are not of legal age, or if this type of material is not legal in your jurisdiction do not enter.

Take heed.

Dear Unregistered,

As the Story Editor, I sincerely apologize for you having opened a story which was (apparently by me) tagged improperly. I have changed the tag, and since you are so mightily upset with this, I offer you the following:

Please send us your mailing address so that we may refund the fee that you paid to use this site. If you used a credit card, please PM or email me the number, expiration date, and 3 digit verification tag from the back of the card so that we may credit your account.

If you do not wish to receive a refund for services rendered by the Archive, then your other recourse is to not let the virtual door hit you on your virtual ass on the way out!

[JoaoGenerico (imported)]

There's more to this rant, perhaps, than it meets the eye. Before being exposed to the dangerous toxic vault we have in the stories archive, I considered myself a perfect 6 on the Kinsey scale. Then I started enjoying straight fantasy, provided castration/penectomy was involved. Nowadays I am somewhat turned on by the idea of straight sex even if castration is not involved.

This kind of "identity loss" can be really threatening, you know?

[Paolo]

Joao,

Glad we could help.

I take it you dont' need a refund?

[Unregistered (imported)]

Fine, I admit it, I have have problems expressing myself in this language and am to computerilliterate to use helpprograms for this. Furthermore the time I wrote that post I was kind of emotional (yes, sexual stimulation has this effect in me and some other people that it affects our emotions a bit more radical than otherwhise ) and really sorry if you got pissed so I guess I deserve the forums collected flaming.

My assumption was that what turned people on here was the imagined act of severing, mostly, male sexual organs and this was seen as the equivalent to "ordinary sex". The stories that involves regular sex are not as interesting to me and most of the time I just skim through that part to come to the real interesting part, the capturing, teasing and removal of the parts by the woman. That was the pattern I had seen so far that in all but some few stories each month or so had the tag [Straight] when it was a woman castrating a man and from what I guessed from the titles of those tagged [Gay] involved men castrating men. From what you tell me here, this isn't the case, but rather it tells us the sexual orientation of the protagonist. But is this a useful tag then? Some stories involves forced sex, and then the antagonists sexual orientation is more interesting, yes? And what about those stories that just involves castration and no sex or even flirts? Should they have [asexual]. Guess I'll get flamed for this as well but I am honestly curious, because now it seems I have just totally misunderstood your labeling system, guess I'll go snoop up the help section and see if I can find a description of the tags. Good to know if I ever manage to finish my own stories, so I don't (ironically) mislabel my own stories then.

Ah well, if I get misinterpreted again I can atleast know that I served the purpose of being an evil troll the community could team-bash, haha, know how fun that is
