Susan and Jeremy--thank you! Sex and laughter are a good combination, lol.

And Jeremy, I did write this before I knew you, but I still think you can never have too many Jeremys ;-).

Oh, wow, oh, wow, I loved every bit of this! The fantasy was, like all your erotic writing, utterly vivid and compelling and hot, not to mention complex and inventive and truly interesting.

And I'm not just saying that because there are two Jeremys in it.

As for the satire: it's exactly what the classic presumptuous sex doctor ordered—or rather earned! And truly

WHAT a great story! Hot and satiric, all at once. Love this:

I had fun writing it, Emerald, and in fact I was amused at my own mutinous feelings towards doctors in my fantasy. Even though it was "fake," it was pretty revealing, lol.

The commentary from Dr. Chasm made me laugh out loud!

"I’m Dr. Roberta Chasm, and I specialize in making sweeping generalizations about people’s inner lives without really knowing what I’m talking about."Seriously — I laughed out loud at this and continued throughout her commentary.

I really enjoyed this, Donna; thanks for sharing!

Lol, Neve. Oooh, I appreciate the "fantasy as screenplay" compliment. And yes, fantasies are like movies. In practical terms, ie the way I actually use fantasy, I usually replay a certain scene over and over, it's certainly not such an elaborate story. Well, sometimes it is. And Dr. Chasm, she does know how to lay on a head trip!

I was in the bookstore today and saw Nancy Friday's book. Or maybe it was really just a fantasy. I can't be sure. haha.

Donna, what's remarkable about your story is not only the complexity of the fantasy, but it played a lot like movie for me, which are what fantasies are, right? You nailed it too. Like Craig said, right down to the fine details.

Oh, and my reading of Dr.

You balled all that stuff up and made a perfect lampoon! Oh, and I like the little details, like Dr. Chasm's link for "yesyouareapervert" goes to your book.

Yes, I am a pervert.

I absolutely love the fantasy. Very, very well crafted. You got the fantasy feel spot on.

And the "good doctor's" reply?

Priceless.

I'm still laughing!

I had the idea, then lost it (interrupted, then derailed) - I think I sorta remember - gaaaaaaa
