I want more of this couple. Her partner massaging her to the point where she's at the edge then has her continue, thus fixing the problem - that's true love. Even if it didn't fix the problem, the effort taken by her partner would have been a wonderful show of love. It's also nice that the gender of the partner was left ambiguous, so it could have been male/female/other.

Most of the time when we are looking at ourselves, we tend to see our flaws, the imperfections the things we feel others will dislike. Yet others rarely tend to see us as we see ourselves, which can be positive or crushing.

You emphasize those differences very nicely in your story, displaying a nurturing relationship.

@RapeU Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really wanted to write a story that embraces the consensual sex part rather than one that displays problematic consensual sex that is somewhat adjacent to our usual noncon stuff.

I hope I'm not diminishing the story for you by telling you that the story does make it clear that the partner is a man though.

@Shocker Thank you. I agree, we can all be our harshest critics sometimes.

Accepting oneself can be an incredibly difficult thing, but it must be even harder to find a better companion for the journey than the partner in this story.

Excellent writing.

It doesn't diminish it. I'm not sure how I missed that. Seems to have happened with @HistBuff's story too. Good thing I haven't voted yet! I'll have to re read them all before I do.

[Mister X]

A truly wonderful story, certainly one too dream about. Thanks!

I like how he helps her, I like the description of his slow movements and I like how her arousal gets higher while she learns to see herself with the eyes of a person who loves her.

[Claire]

@Lucius Thank you! This wasn't easy to write. Hearing you praise the writing is a high honor.

@RapeU Let me know if it's still unclear after your second read!

@Mister X Thanks! I wasn't sure whether this was your kind of story.


Looks like the men on the forum enjoy this quite a bit. Would love to read some female perspectives at some point!

Self image problems are rough, but I think one has to accept that ones lover actually loves one just the way one is, or they would likely say something about that. Those asymmetries may in fact be loved by others and Cindy Crawford was famous for a beauty spot that broke symmetry, and for her looks Brown areolas will stand out from many colours of skin nicely, better than some super pale colour at that Inner labia hanging out there I like they are nice at glistening and getting a bead of wetness when their owner gets excited

Sorry for so few words, I am swept up in his caresses and trying to explain to her how beautiful all of her is to him

I love how he was able to make love to all of her, mind, soul, and body, and let her see/feel herself as he sees her. Beautiful story.

Would love to see more too

I like your little mundane sort of details like this:

"At least my stomach looks like I’ve been able to lose the weight I’ve gained over the holidays. I resist the urge to turn 90 degrees and destroy the illusion."
and this:
"You know I’d like to shower more often with you, but the water temperature you prefer is too hot for me. The heat of the near-scalding water you drenched yourself in still clings to your fingers. You didn’t want to touch me with cold fingers after coming home, did you?"

It helps make the characters so much more real.

And you did have me guessing throughout the story. I was sure the other partner was a woman!
