I liked that you took a different route than most sci-fi stories, in that you chose to explore the intersection of sex and technology, as opposed to the cooke-cutter "human astronauts discover hyper-sexual aliens" storyline. I always find that the psychology of sex is erotica's strong suite, as opposed to pure description, and the sort of odd virginity the VR situation had created was very hot. I also liked that the writing itself was solid, using Orwellian and Brave New World themes, and making the world sound believable and not throwing space as a adjective in front of every noun (space sex, space steak, space lube, etc.)
please don't leave us hanging do they start another sexual revolution or are they the proud owners of a sexual haven please more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very enjoyable story - I like your writing style and will read more of your work. Thanks.
Having been an avid reader of Analog SF since 1948 I would classify this as excellent erotic coupling, or group sex or
romance or First Time. The SF is very much in the back ground
as it is in many SF stories where as in this story the developments in the future can not be distinguished from magic.
<p> But the important thing is that it was enjoyable and I was more than ready to work my way through all nine ladies. What will you do for 02?
Very impressed. Loved the writing style, never really been big on posting comments but I couldn't resist. You have real talent and it shows.
I love it. Great plot, detailed characters; you've got the works. I hope that you continue it on, maybe covering the empty 10 years. Anyway, got me hooked to check out the rest of your writing. Kudos!
loved it, hope u continue it for a second cahpeter to fill in the isiing ten years
Good SF writing is always about the interaction of people. Good plot, nice twist to set up justification for lots of sex. Good character development. I really would like to read sequels to this. Now to explore whatever else you have written here.
I liked that very much.
It's special and different. In a very good way.
I'd liked to read about every single one of the first times. Somehow I think it wouldn’t have been repetitive.
And I like the points of view regarding VR. Very interesting!
You made it to my favorites immediately with this one. ;-)
Can wait to figure out if I like your other stories, too…
You painted a great world, but I would have liked to see more, especially the story of them first finding the world and setting up on it.
Just because you ended it like this doesn't mean u can't keep going set it up like a flashback to certain important parts like when they reached the planet and do exactly what you just did. Fantastic!
This was a great story! Very well done! I am going to go through your whole library to see if you have any more in this genre, but none the less, very, very, well done. Thank you.
When I read the description of the story I thought it would either be about alien sex or some sort of orgy. I was expecting to skim it and move on. Instead this story offered so much more. I truly enjoyed this story. I had hoped to read about his night with the captain but, oh well. Five stars
It'd suck if your the last guy in the fleet who keeps the real sex tradition alive. I liked it but I wished it talked about everyone else. A ten year jump guess they ran into trouble. Good job, keep making more
An excellent spin on the "Damaged ship lost in space" scenario again thank you
My only complaint is that I would have liked to have been able to read more about the time between the last scene on the ship and the time at the end. Perhaps that will be covered in other sections, I hope so anyway. In any case this is now one of my favorite stories. I can easily see spinoff stories based on how what happened would affect the space fleet. Would they charge the rules, and would they make it mandatory for a better distribution of the sexes on all ships? Then too perhaps the society would ease up on its condemnation of real sex. There are just so many possibilities here.
Sign me up. I am so there! I Love this story The story is OK! But the thought of all those horny women And one man! OH YEAH! That's Me!........100 % OF READING ENJOYMENT BYE Greg! Love you all! BYE
I have been reading litrotica for years and I got to say I have this one of the most enjoyable stories I have read in years,well done.
That's all i'll say on it. he had no power despite having it all, he was whipped

There are a few things that would annoy a real sci fi lover ... it would have been more fun if they had a more believable reason for their actions .. Jim gets hung up on being respected and over his opinion on real sex but just takes their conniving plans and betrayal about impregnating themselves without his consent in stride bit of a stretch
Yup, well written. You had several major topics going at the same time and they were blended smoothly. Well done.
bill.....5555ssss
Why would you title it as future episodic and then end it with an epilogue? Defeats the purpose of episodic titling.
Other than that the story was great, not nearly enough good sci-fi romps on here.
What a great story! Poor Jim, what a sacrifice he had to make, lol. Great story with a very happy ending. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Mutiny on the Bounty and Robinson Crusoe. Didn't work out too well for the mutineers, but they did survive as did Mr. Crusoe. This is a very well put together story and rates all five stars.
