She went to the site, because a friend/lover, Jeffrey, who knows her well, recommended the visit. Stories were the first attraction. Some were very good, others not. But combining the right mood, with a well written narrative often resulted in genuine excitement.
In the past, Carolyn had written some very well received sensual tales on a now MIA website so there was an appreciation for this type of literature. And there was also an acknowledgment of how much fun exchanges with respectful, playful readers could be.
This new venue, highlighted by the forums, had a much more, real time, interactive feel. It was there members could respond and react to the postings of others. Carol was very pleasantly surprised by how clever some of the threads were, and how sexy and funny some of the comments were.
Perhaps owing in part to a rather provocative screen-name the initial response to her entry was rather strong. Private messages came at a steady pace. They ranged from offers of warm greetings and cute "Hellos." to unsubtle, much less appealing intros. Setting a standard for those that got a reply was pretty easy.
Well behaved men over 40 whose "Hellos" had a certain appeal got an answer in kind. Others got nothing. When asked by Jeff why she completely dismissed guys in their thirties the answer was, "They just seemed too young."
"So you're not even following up at all?"
"Nope."
"You could be sued for practicing age discrimination."
" Not likely, that's a perk of anonymity, besides, what could a man find exciting in a woman who's 10 or 15 years older?"
"In your case, plenty! You are sensual, in shape and easily look 10 years younger than you are. It's silly not to pick someone who seems to have good bona fides, and engage in some exchanges with him. I bet that when you explain your age difference he'll only become a lot more interested. Try it."
"Well you were right about the site...so we'll see."
In the meantime, perhaps to help make his point, Jeffrey posted a really hot profile picture of Carol, accentuating her long, toned legs mounted on 4 inch heels. Understandably, message traffic spiked dramatically.
She went through each and every one, clinging to her initial over 40 y/o criteria, until receiving an especially engaging note from a male in his mid-thirties. Carolyn, took a deep breath and replied. A short time later came a response. The fellow was obviously well-spoken, and showed both a sense of humor and humility.
Included also was a link to one of his posted stories. Carolyn, expecting very little, began skimming at first. But as the scenario developed she found herself aroused by the piece. It was an eloquently written, highly charged narrative that managed to paint very hot sex without using some of the less desirable descriptors for male and female body parts. The writer obviously respected and appreciated women.
Time to let this guy know she was 52 years old. So, after heaping praise on his story, Carol broke the bad news. The reaction was exactly as Jeff predicted. "Robert" passed along another literary offering. It was even better than the first. Two lovers, apart for a long time, starving for one another, secretly meeting, and lustily satisfying their pent up needs.
Carolyn quickly replied. "Your words painted such a vivid picture, I felt like I was in the room, watching this beautifully erotic scene unfold." By delivering that message, Carol pretty much knew the exchanges were likely to get more more personal. She was ready.
