How can a government ban written pornography, such as that posted here on Storiesonline.net? Now remember, I said written. I'm not talking about pictures or videos or anything like that and I'm talking strictly fictional here. I'm talking about... for lack of a better word, dirty little stories!

I don't care what the story is about. I don't care if it is:

- a straight romance story, with sex, not too much better or worse, than my mother used to read in her Harlequin Romance novels, sold openly in bookstores all over the country.

- Or young love, showing two teenagers falling in love and growing up to take on the world together.

- Or an incest story where two siblings fall in love, or simply take advantage of the closeness, the ease, the availability of having a sibling right there in the same house.

- Or a rape story where a bad man uses and abuses women.

- Or a story about a teacher, professor, police officer, Military officer or doctor using his or her position of power, and access, to fuck someone in their power, in their sway.

- Or a perverted older neighbor who coerces, blackmails, hires or seduces a beautiful neighbor, whether a married woman or a teenaged girl.

- even a child, preteen or younger, being sexually abused.

Unless it is a criminal, confessing his true life perverse actions, his or her rape of a woman or a child, I don't see how a government can logically, ethically, legally make my favorite, preferred form of pornography, illegal.

If they can stop me from publishing a story about a father screwing his teenage daughter. What argument do they use to justify continuing to allow publishers to publish novels by the likes of:

- Stephen King who murdered dozens of teenagers in just one book, "Carrie". I'm sure there were many more innocent young lives ended in King's many novels over the years.

- Anne Rice. I never read an Anne Rice novel but I saw the Brad Pitt movie based on her book "Interview with the Vampire" many years ago. Kirsten Dunst - who was twelve when the movie came out - having a role in the movie, as a vampire (my apologies to those who haven't seen the movie if that's a spoiler) is proof that like Mr. King, Ms. Rice murdered a child in her book, even if the story wasn't told in the book/movie.

Getting away from horror novelists, how about George R.R. Martin. How many "Children" died, so far, in his "Game of Thrones" novels? Joffrey and Myrcella Baratheon immediately come to mind.

I guess the politicians who are banning our stories, think "It's fine to brutalize, torture and murder innocent teens and children, but you'll be in big trouble, mister, if you have sex with those children first!"

My question for any politician wanting to ban or make illegal our "dirty little stories" is how do you explain your thinking, your logic, on banning stories about sex but you're okay with stories about murder, mayhem and massacres?

My wife has recently discovered "50 Shades of Gray" - the movie, not the books - and finds it exciting. Having started reading the first book when it first became popular a few years ago, and having heard the reviews of the movie when it came out, I imagine it will be a disappointment.

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a similar story, something with a little light male domination, that might be a good read for my wife. It HAS to be a FUN read. Being fun is probably more important than being good or really sexy. If anyone can help, please send me a note.

Thank you.

I realize I don't post much here. "Pie in the first Person", "A Classy lady" and "The Nuclear Option" - the last three stories I've posted here - were not what I like to write, or what I like to read. I prefer longer stories, to write and to read. Don't get me wrong, I AM STILL WRITING! I just don't seem to be able to finish anything anymore. Some weird form of writer's block.

I realize I don't write too many blogs here anymore either. Even though, as I've said in my previous blogs, I DO read all the blogs posted here, just out of pure dumb, stupid habit.

I don't write blogs because, I don't have any stories to talk about and I am a Tea-party supporting, low tax, small government, Trump-supporting Conservative American. So whenever I veer into politics on here, I get slammed and told what an idiot I am. With no stories to discuss, and politics off the table, I don't usually have much to say.

But this fucking year must really hate me!!! The damn pandemic cost me a job I loved and, just this year, I've had, not one, but two cancer scares.

First, they found a nodule on my Thyroid. It was cancerous. I no longer have a Right thyroid. Even the surgeon who removed it told me that "if you're going to get cancer, this is the kind of cancer you wanna get." Just having the cancer and the Thyroid removed was enough. Thankfully.

I am in a study for non-smokers, I quit about fifteen years ago. So I get a CT scan of my lungs done every year. This year, something on that scan worried somebody and I was sent for a PET scan. The PET scan itself isn't horrible. Just takes a while. I had the PET scan today and, amazingly, already got my results.

ALL CLEAR!

And I thought 2021 was bad!!

I have a birthday coming up, my 54th, and Christmas.

But what I'm really looking forward to, is the damn new year. Jimeny Christmas and Pete, how much can they throw at a guy!?!?!?

A few days ago, the United States Supreme Court overturned a New York state gun control law.

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, the decades old law that made abortion legal across the country.

Just for your information, overturning Roe does NOT make abortion illegal across the country, no matter what the girls on "The View" say. It simply returns the choice to the states and us, the people.

There are a lot of people who are unhappy about these two rulings. So unhappy that I suspect some of them will turn to violence in the next few hours, days and weeks: rioting, looting, arson...

I don't care which side of the rulings you come down on. It doesn't matter whether you're mad about these rulings or whether you're happy about them...

Please don't do anything stupid!

Don't be one of the bad guys and don't let yourself become a victim of the bad guys who are out there. Stay home, stay safe, be careful and, if needed, protect yourself, your family and your friends.

I have a question for anyone who reads this post and has actually taken the time and trouble to read my first ever posted novel, "Summer Roadtrip."

It has been twenty plus years since I wrote and first published "Roadtrip." Between then and now, the story has been edited, by me and others, a number of times. Trust me, it reads 2000% better now than it did when I first published it. Back then, I often switched back and forth between past and present tense, confused their, there and they're as well as to and too. Characters switched ages, names, a section of the story is missing... I have learned a lot and have become a much better writer since then. I think.

I've always felt bad about how bad "Summer Roadtrip" really is. (Another embarrassment, "Roadtrip" should be two words.)

So, since I haven't posted anything else in a while, I was thinking about going through and trying to fix the story. This will mean some real changes to the story. I'm talking changing the names of some characters, fixing ages, adding some, or changing, some important parts of the story, maybe even taking out some parts of the story.

For those who actually enjoyed this story, would you be interested in reading, or re-reading, a new and improved version of the story? Do you think this is a good idea or would I just be wasting my time? If I do it, should I post the new and improved version over the original or should I post it as a new version of the story, "Summer Road Trip 2.0"?

Please give me opinions. If no one is interested in an improved version, I won't waste my time and will just go on my merry way.

Thank you.
