Ascending Lauren

As the Ascending Lauren series has grown, many readers have suggested a foreword of some kind to help introduce those new to the adventures of Lauren and Corey. We hope the following will be helpful.

During the pandemic, a group of friends began meeting regularly to pass the time and alleviate the isolation created by local shutdowns. These friends consisted of both monogamous and non-monogamous couples, and as alcohol loosened their tongues, discussions turned risqué, with each couple sharing tales of their sexual encounters. Out of boredom, Lauren and I chronicled these, creating fictionalized versions of the stories. Ripped from the headlines, if you will.

Ascending Lauren is an entertainment-focused work. While Lauren and Corey are fictional characters, their experiences are loosely based on real events from our and our friends' lives. One was a stripper and escort, another made low-budget VHS porn. Others include a firefighter, military members, an investment banker, biker, psychologist, entrepreneurs, and a club owner. Most are hypersexual people and, like ourselves, are in hotwife/cuckold relationships. Luckily, many of those romances have survived, providing anecdotal evidence that there is longevity in those lifestyles. Sadly, others did not.

The idea for the series was simple: take the real sexual exploits from our own and our friends' relationships, and project them onto the protagonists Lauren and Corey, distilling many of those stories into chapters and fitting into a highly compressed timeline. Most of the tales span 10-15 years, so not all of our experiences can be represented. Any exercise to do so would fill volumes at the local library and that is not what we set out to do.

The story attempts to ease the fictional couple into the lifestyle, with Corey Miller's fetish growing exponentially over time. It chronicles the evolution of his kink from compersion to zelophilia to extreme humiliation. This closely mirrors the journey the IRL Lauren and I have made over the past thirty years. However, the series mostly focuses on the early and middle stages of our marriage. After easing into the lifestyle, the series puts a spotlight on Lauren's extreme 'slut years', where she and her friends borderline derailed during the 80s club and party scene, all the while cucking me and a couple buddies with zeal unmatched to this day. From our perspective, our wives/GFs enabled the exact thing we asked them to do: we

the shame of our individual inadequacies, the humiliation of being 'put in our place', and yes, even the very real risk of losing them is exquisitely erotic. This stew of emotions is the very angst that many wittols crave, and provokes the shaking of mainstream heads.

Because we can't write about every single encounter, we'll focus on the ones our friends think are the hottest. Of course, the tales won't appeal to everyone. However, we aren't willing to sacrifice the very real history of our collective journeys just to check some readers' boxes. And yet, there should be enough embellishment to make it enjoyable.

While the story is set in present times and with modern technology (cell phones), the fodder for the stories are mainly from the 80s and 90s, when drug use was far more prevalent and cavalierly open within the upper echelon of society. We aren't always proud of the things we've done in the past, but we can't change history. To be sure, there can be severe consequences from drug and alcohol abuse. Those of us who lived through the emergence of HIV and AIDs as a direct result of promiscuity and drug addiction can never dismiss these harsh realities. While some authors may take their characters down that dark path, we choose to stay true to the lives of our contributors, who all got through those free-for-all years unscathed. The point is, while sometimes dark and depraved, this series ultimately celebrates sexual freedom. Folks will form their own opinion on whether this is a healthy thing, but from where we stand many decades later, we are still in love, still happy, and still playing.

As you may have read on our profile, we have comments turned off. Not because we have thin skin or can't take criticism, but because of the toxicity that runs rampant on this site. Many readers spew hate before even reading an entire passage or commenting on a lifestyle their mainstream lives will never comprehend. We truly believe most of those simply have masturbation remorse and lash out as a way of flogging themselves for doing so. There is already too much hatred in this world without us contributing to it by allowing negative digital exhaust from assholes. We do get a lot of great PMs though, and that is where you can send positive and negative feedback, as well as following the Ascending Lauren thread on another, less judging website. Those who have already done so know we try and respond to each and every message.

In closing, these works are simply for the entertainment of our close circle of special friends whom already know their own stories better than we. That the internet allows us to share them for free with a wider audience is a bonus. Honestly, the biggest 'complaint' we get is the time between chapter publication. For that we apologize, but please know this is a hobby for us. Lauren and I both have demanding careers, and our primary focus will always be on our family. Thank you for your patience, and we do appreciate your readership.

As always...

Stay tolerant, friends.
