A Helping Hand

Hello there! Hope you’re doing well, m’friend. You look great, I’ll tell you that much right now. Well, now then that you know a little something about my writing style and story settings, I’ll start describing the actual stories themselves, beginning with my original number one from August ’12.

The very first story I posted to the Literotica site is entitled “Give The Girl A Helping Hand.” It focuses on a nameless young lass who grew up with a Dad who always played piano, and this early interest and fascination in her gradually translated into something of a kink. She doesn’t exactly have an Electra complex, but watching her father’s hands dancing across the keys and tickling the ivories generates a fetish inside her as she grows up, for male hands.

Around the time I came up with the idea for this story, I was researching the effect that a fetish has on a woman. I myself, Smokey, was born with a couple of fetishes, one in tickling, one in the bottoms of girls’ bare feet, so those sort of go together in a way. In terms of straight women—and by this I mean really straight ones, who genuinely like and love men—there are, on the surface, very very few of them who harbor a fetish for men’s feet. Not zero at all, but very few.

Men’s hands, on the other...eh...

Men’s hands appear to be quite a different story. This is one of those things you kind of have to go online and dig underneath to research and find. But it is a pretty valuable piece of info to have at...eh...

Anyway, even if it’s not a bonafide fetish, or a fascination, lots of women nevertheless don’t mind having a look at an attractive pair of gent-paws, and who could blame them? And while not all of them are going to be so eager to come out and say it, a great deal of straight women—again, truly straight ones—based on the research I’ve done, also very much enjoy watching a man masturbate. Once more, who could blame them?

If you are genuinely into the gender you’re attracted to, and you can get in comfortable touch with your sexual side, watching a cute, pretty, or downright beautiful specimen pleasuring him- or herself can be a real treat. The intense faces they make for you and the magic they work on themselves with their own hands is indeed quite the sight.

These things in mind, I began penning “Give The Girl A Helping Hand” and dedicated it at the beginning to women who have a thing for gentlemen’s hands. After establishing this quirk in the young lady’s psyche, I wanted to get right to the hot stuff, so I threw in less exposition and less of a story arc than I normally would have today, but I’m happy with the way the story came out altogether.

Being my first story, this was something of an experiment for me back then, to post this and see how it went. Now, tangent: when you post on Literotica, you’ve got a couple decisions to make besides just posting it. You can choose whether to allow Readers to vote on it with a rating of one to five stars. I had this feature going for a while, but eventually I turned it off, as I was just getting too many troll votes. Trolls will come on the site, like anywhere else, and one-bomb you, just for the hell of it. That’s just what they do. The site admins will often sweep these votes, but that doesn’t stop more from coming, and the inability to discern who was voting and if the votes were “real” or not really bothered me for a long time. Finally, I just turned the voting feature off, and have been much happier since.

Another choice you can make posting stories is whether or not to allow Anonymous feedback. There’re a couple ways for users to send feedback: one is to leave a comment, another is to click on your feedback tab alongside your bio and stories, and send you a message that way. For a similar reason, I also had the Anonymous commenting turned off for a long time, but have recently allowed that again. There’s a rationale behind this as well, which I’ll go into another time.

Getting back to the story, I don’t want to give you any spoilers if you’d prefer to just read it instead—here’s the link: Give The Girl A Helping Hand—but if you actually want a spoiler, highlight the following paragraph.

The young woman protagonist in the story has developed a sexual fantasy from sitting on her Daddy’s lap watching him play piano. Now she wants to meet an attractive pianist with beautiful hands, have him come to her place, pin her down on her bed and make her his piano, playing her all over like a Steinway. So she does. She sets a lovely, romantic mood for them and makes her dream come true. The young man expertly tickles her “ivories” and eventually, finally brings her to the most mindblowing orgasm she has ever experienced.

This is just a single page on Literotica, so that link’s all you need, you don’t have to do any more clicking to read the whole thing. It’s to date the shortest story I have written. In terms of feedback, it hasn’t received a great deal—understandable, as I was a brand-new author at the time, had everything to prove, and no one—including myself—knew if I was good or not. The story did, however, I’m glad and proud to say, receive one user “favorite” and one Anonymous comment, which I hadn’t turned off or back on yet. This was very encouraging. Not only was the comment favorable, but it actually asked me to write an additional chapter to this story. So nine days later, I did.

Coming up next, sequel time!
