Emily's Journey.
Emily felt that both her mental and physical sex lives were going pretty well. She was married to a very handsome engineer named Alex. They had known each other since university and they were as attracted to each other as they had been when they first started going out. Unfortunately, his career was going so well he was now in high demand in mines throughout western Queensland. So he had joined what was known as the FIFO (Fly-in-fly-out) workforce, and whilst he was on-site for weeks at a time she looked after their beautiful home and two children back in Brisbane.
Whenever he came home for a weekend or longer they would just about wear each other out with their fucking. The kids would spend at least part of the time at her parents', being looked after so that they could spend whole evenings carelessly ravishing each other and even going out for romantic dinners that ended with elaborate hotel sex.
When Alex was away they would send each other erotic emails and swap sexy photos. But inevitably she would feel the time weigh heavily on her hands after the kids went to bed and found herself having more and more lurid fantasies. So, she had found herself writing erotic fiction. Her stories would involve anything she found herself thinking about late at night as she masturbated in bed. Sometimes they were things she had done and liked to dwell on, sometimes they were things she wanted to try. And sometimes they were things she didn't believe she would be able to talk about, even with Alex. Sometimes, after she got up and wrote down her ideas in the middle of the night when she was close to orgasm, she could barely bring herself to read them back to herself the next day once she had packed the kids off to school.
At university Emily had studied journalism and been a very keen creative writer. Back then she had written everything from Harry Potter fan fiction to melodramatic regency romances. She didn't mind that she had not become the next J K Rowling but she did miss the process of writing. Now she had rediscovered her love of writing in recording her erotic fantasies.
But what to do with the stories? She knew she could send them to Alex and he would be turned on. But now she had written them she felt every author's need to have them read. Would they turn other people on? Could men and women she didn't even know be aroused by her own thoughts and words. She had to admit the thought excited her. She pictured people all over the world sitting in their own homes and getting off to her stories.
So she had done some browsing and found a website that posted erotic stories. It seemed to cater to just about anything that could possibly turn anyone on or off. In addition to the stories themselves there were chatrooms, notice boards, interest groups and quite literally hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world interacting over sexual issues at any moment.
At first she had just set up an account under the name SarahX. After all, she didn't have any control over who was reading the stories and didn't want some weirdo stalking her. And even though she was now living in Brisbane, she listed her location as Sydney. So she now had a mental image of her own alter ego. SarahX was a pen name she had written under once in college when writing for a political publication and she had day dreams about the exciting life Sarah led in an inner Sydney apartment with a full sex life and pumping out pornographic stories for the masses.
Once she had set up the profile she added a photo. She wanted to attract people to her stories and had to admit that she found the idea of turning strangers on thrilling. So she had settled for a picture of herself sitting at her computer with just her ample cleavage showing. Anyone who clicked on SarahX now got a shot of her leaning forward into her computer screen with just her lipsticked mouth and large breasts almost spilling out of her polka dot bra.
Inevitably, the personal messages had started flooding into her inbox. She pretty much ignored them. Some were pushy, some were polite and some were downright disturbing! The only ones she took the time to respond to were the ones which were directed purely at her stories and she had had some interesting exchanges about writing and the nature of erotic literature. She also spent a little time on the discussion boards. It was honestly fascinating to her what turned people on. And the more she spoke to others about their kinks and fantasies the more ideas she got. Mostly for stories but to be honest she found that now when Alex was away and she masturbated, more often than not she pictured herself in wild scenes inspired by stories and kinks she had read about.
The last time Alex had been home she had told him about the site and they had read the stories she had posted together and browsed through the boards. After that they had had some incredible sex and really had a great session exploring exactly what things excited them both. But now he was away again and she found herself spending a lot of late nights on the site, posting stories and interacting with other members. She had even come to appreciate the flirting. She knew that Alex would not mind and, hey, a girl likes to feel appreciated. One night she was feeling particularly feisty. Alex had been gone for two weeks and she sent him an email suggesting that he should create his own profile and have some fun with her online.
There was no way that he was likely to start writing erotic fiction, but she figured that they could certainly role-play a little sexual flirting. A couple of hours later she got a rude shock when he emailed back.
"Ha, I did join Babe. I even sent you a message, but you never responded so I guessed you weren't interested in playing!"
She immediately wrote back asking him what his profile name was but received a maddening response.
"Oh no. It's not that easy. You'll need to figure it out. After all, any game needs its challenge."
"!!" Was all she could send in response. She petulantly shut down her email and sulked for a while. But as he had known she would, she soon brought up her profile and went straight to her inbox.
"Let's see who's been in touch with Sarah over the last two weeks," she thought to herself as she scrolled through.
There was a total of 29 messages that had been sent since he had left to go to Mt Isa. Quite a few referenced a particular story she had written, or a comment she had left on a board, where she tended towards the explicit. Others were just more in the way of general chat ups.
Firstly, there were none that used the name of Alex or any variation she could recognise. Fair enough, she had avoided using her own name as well. And none gave a location of Brisbane, Mt Isa or anywhere else in Queensland. 7 were from Australia, but the others were mostly from the UK or the USA, although there were one each from Canada and Germany. And most either had no image attached or used impersonal avatars. A couple had face pictures or body parts, but then she supposed he could easily have simply hijacked one if he had wanted to.
So she sat down and read through 29 messages. Three were from women so she sent off friendly replies to those but narrowed her list to 26. 5 contained approaches simply offensive or abusive. She was a fan of dirty talk but at least be friendly about it! So that left her with 21. She ruled out another 4 whose writing suggested they had trouble using any form of a sentence properly. Alex may have been an engineer, but he could still write like he had a brain in his head.
So that left 17. After a great deal of thought she struck off another 5 who had sent messages that contained nothing but a single, simple phrase such as "Hi" or "How are you Doing?" She figured he wouldn't want to open the game with something so unlikely to get her attention.
So she had 12 left. 2 were in Australia, 4 from the UK, 5 from the US and one from Germany. They ranged from the polite and enquiring to the quite urgently sexual. After reading them all she had some thoughts but wasn't confident enough to cross any more off.
