Ok, I know there is not much sense in writing about older stories when everyone has already thought them through and moved on. Totally get that. But I am MOVING BACKWARDS and it is not that easy to ignore the questions that occur to me as I am listening to the episodes. (I promise, I will keep it down in the future
)
But the questions and comments THIS story made me think of I cannot ignore. I guess SEX is something that simply cannot be ignored.
First of all, thanks to you, Pete (or BlairHippo), this story is full of great ideas, FUN ideas and certainly entertaining. But I have to agree with a lot of the negative comments that have come up before, saying that the story showed a lot of potential but did not pull through and fell flat/flaccid in the end. … mainly because a lot of it just did not make sense, at least to me it didn’t.
Ok, I get the whole ‘juvenile wet dream’ realized thing, … or a man’s wet dream more than a woman’s, at least I personally have that impression (but might be wrong there, I admit that, I am sure there are loads of women who get turned on simply by seeing all kinds of naked people walking around and fucking everywhere, but that is not my kind of wet dream).
But overgeneralized (on my part) gender preferences aside, I just don’t see why the students were having sex at all. If they get off on learning, have orgasms simply by listening to a teacher (and the way she looks should not really be of any importance here, if the fetish is based on the information gained and not her sex appeal) then why would they still end up ‘frolicking all over the tropical quad’ as Mfitz decribed it, if they have (guaranteed/quicker) orgasms simply while reading books, having longer, better, deeper and more orgasms the more complex the material they studied?
Maybe I just don’t get this and there is something I am not seeing, so please feel free to enlighten me, but the ‘Mustafa’ process, to my mind, sounds like it should actually lead to a subculture of sexually inexperienced and sexually inactive nerds who get orgasms simply from studying, reading, attending lectures …. or ‘lust for learning’, as the story is so fittingly titled.
And another factor that makes the sex in the story seem completely pointless, was the incredibly unsatisfying way it was described, completely emotionless and more like that ‘wet dream’ than REAL sex. In that world I would have chosen a good book/orgasm over that mindless fucking described in the story any day.
And Steve, I just discovered the Livejournal and I love it. There is something about reading it that brightened my day today. Especially the description of 5 things you love about Anna. Wonderful.
