(Okay, anyone reading my blog is probably not lining up to see the movie Ralph Breaks the Internet, but if you are be warned: Major spoilers ahead!!)

So, one of the problems I have in writing erotica, especially writing cuckold erotica is that I see images and themes in all sorts of places sane people do not. For example, my first published works on Amazon were a series of short stories based on Fairy Tales. All of the stories were cuckold stories featuring prominent females being taken in front of their respective beaus. Snow White taken by the Huntsman in front of the prince. The Princess Badr al-Badr (Princess Jasmine’s original name) taken by the evil Moor in front of Aladdin. Wendy seduced by Captain Hook in front of Peter Pan.

Does this make me sick? Probably. But, hey, what are you going to do? I happen to enjoy this sort of story. If you are reading my blog, you most likely do too! So don’t judge!

Does that mean all kids movies make me think of cuckold scenes? No, it doesn’t. In fact, I like kid movies, especially after a long bout of writing, because it cleanses the mental palate after spending hours crafting a story that ends with a wife humiliating her poor husband. I fully expected to have my brain cleaned by Ralph Breaks the Internet. I was looking forward to a fun, light-hearted romp through cyberspace. I expected Ralph to be dumb, Vannelope to crack wise and everything to work out in the end.

Except, it didn’t. You see the story is about friendship and what happens when one friend is happy with their relationship while the other friend yearns for something else. Sound familiar? If you are new to cuckold or hotwife stories, than let me just say it. That is the exact formula for almost all cuckold stories!

In cuckold stories, sex between the husband and wife is usually unfulfilling. Either it always has been, or has turned that way over the years. Enter the Bull. This could be a coworker, an ex-boyfriend, or someone they just met. No matter who steps in, the couple gets caught up in the excitement. In hotwife stories, the couple lives happily ever after. In cuckold stories, the kind I like, the husband ends up either in a humiliating, submissive position and loves it, or he loses his wife altogether. The latter scenario does not happen very often outside Japanese movies and comics.

Ralph Breaks the Internet starts out with Ralph and his best friend Vannelope enjoying themselves each night as they hang out in the games at Litvak’s Family Fun Center. At one point, Vannelope questions their lives, wondering if there is anything more than the mundane routine of her racing game which only has three tracks. In other words, Ralph is the happy husband and Vannelope is the dissatisfied wife.

Since this is a Disney movie, their is no Bull. However, after Vannelope’s game is broken, they find the only way to fix it is by going to the Internet. There are some crazy adventures and the story diverges from most cuckold stories because, hey, this isn’t about sex.

However, when our two heroes enter a post-apocalyptic racing game with the lovely name of Slaughter Race, they meet the boss of the game, Shank, a hot, tough talking racer. Vannelope takes an instant liking to Shank, much to Ralph’s dismay.

This is where the story takes an eerie, cuckold turn. Shank talks to Vannelope and they become close. Eventually Vannelope decides to become a part of Slaughter Race. The decision culminates in a scene where Ralph watches Vannelope’s heart to heart with Shank, on a fancy mobile device that is supposed to keep them connected. The device is on mute, so Ralph stands by while Vannelope agrees to leave Ralph and move into the game with Shank. Ralph can only watch as his heart is crushed.

Again, sound familiar?

This scene is almost exactly the same scene I witnessed in a Japanese cuckold film entitled, Fucking My Ex-Boyfriend Before My Wedding Day. (I love the way Japanese porn movies are titled. I might try this for my own books).

At the end of the movie, the cuckold is forced to watch his fiance having passionate sex with her ex-boyfriend. He is screaming and yelling at the screen and is powerless to stop it.  This trope features very heavily in the cuckold genre, where the husband is sent a video, or watches his wife on hidden camera, or gets a phone call as his wife is fucked senseless by her lover.

It makes sense. There are only so many ways writers can contrive this type of scene. Trust me, after you write a few stories, it gets harder and harder to come up with believable scenarios.

The last third of the movie is Ralph’s struggle with his own jealousy and fear. In fact, his clinginess and neediness almost destroys the Internet! Finally, Ralph decides that he needs to be happy for his friend and support her in her new life. It is only then that he defeats his demons. Some of the best cuckold stories that I have read end with the cuckold realizing his place as a submissive in his relationship, just as Ralph realizes he has become secondary to Vannelope’s new life.

For me, the movie ended on a sad note. Sure, it tried to sum things up happily, it is Disney after all, but I can’t watch the movie without feeling a little sorry for Ralph. Once again, he is alone, forced to talk to Vannelope on that stupid phone and only able to actually see her when Slaughter Race goes down for maintenance.

Like a cuckold locked in chastity and only able to touch his wife when she, or his bull, lets him.

One final note: At the end of the movie, Ralph is falling and all of the Disney princesses concoct a net that catches Ralph. A net made out of princess dresses. Ralph wakes up kissing a frog and dressed like Snow White. I kid you not, Disney managed to tell a cuckold story AND get the cuckold to wear a dress at the end. All to the delight of Vannelope and the rest of the Disney princesses. Unbelievable!

What do you think? What other movies out there have hidden, cuckold themes?

I am hard at work on finishing Valentine’s are Black, an interracial, holiday cuckold story continuing the adventures of Jackie Thompson and her hapless cuckold husband Roger.  If you haven’t read the first two books, check out Black Friday and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas. I stated in a previous post that I would probably miss Valentine’s Day and here we are, on March 2nd, and I am still not done.

There are a host of reasons and I don’t want to bore you with the details. However, one reason it has taken me so long is that I really wanted to make Valentine’s a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Also, with the help of an editor, I am ensuring that my books are properly copy edited so there are fewer errors. All in all, I hope the resulting product is as professional a story as I can produce.

I could produce more if I wrote shorter stories and worried less about the characters and plot. Because of the way Amazon works, where it seems to be based more on quantity then quality, I could even make more money. But, at the end of the day I have to write stories I like, stories I want to read. It is the only way I can keep writing and not get burned out.

So, when Valentine’s is finished, I hope you, as readers, will think the effort was worth it. Thank you so much for being patient!

I offered this up for free a couple of weeks back and just wanted to add a post about it. This story is now on sale at Amazon.  It is a sequel to my book Black Friday and continues the story of Jackie and Roger Thompson as they travel down the winding, twisty road of cuckolding.

I’ve also added some other elements to this story. With the introduction of Roger’s son and his wife, there is the opportunity for some stepson-stepmom action as Jackie uses her body, and her black lover Jason, to entice Roger’s family into the cuckold lifestyle. Top it off with some light BDSM and you have the makings of a Christmas story you won’t soon forget!

I am also currently writing the followup to this story as well. It is called Valentine’s are Black and I hope to have it up by Valentine’s Day. However, knowing me, it will probably be a bit late.

Thanks for reading!

I am a big fan of netorare comics. For those of you that may not know, Netorare is a japanese term and is often translated as cuckolding. However, I think the word cuckold, as we understand it in American culture, is a bit misleading.

Netorare, translated as best as I can tell, means “taken away by sleeping with”. Now, this differs from what I consider hotwife novels and movies. Those stories revolve around a husband and wife agreeing to invite another person into their sex life, oftentimes to spice up things in an otherwise dull arrangement. There may be some angst on the husband’s part, but ultimately everyone is happy with the situation and the couple find their sex lives transformed by the experience.

Cuckold stories sometimes include hotwife storylines. However, cuckolding often leads to hardcore humiliation of the husband. Sometimes, these stories end with our beloved wife giving up everything to be with her lover (netorare). However, most cuckold  stories, and I think the most popular ones, are the stories that end with the husband coming to terms with the new relationship and accepting his life as a submissive cucky boy. And they live happily ever after (HEA ending.)

And then there’s netorare, sometimes abbreviated as NTR. The stories, comics and movies I like the most are when the often reluctant wife or girlfriend is given impossibly mind-blowing sex. Sex so good that she can’t live without it. The best stories, in my mind, are the ones that have multiple sessions with the lover, with or without the husband or boyfriend’s knowledge, until the woman can no longer stand it and gives in to her lust for this person. Sometimes, at the end, hubby finds out and is reduced to jerking off as his wife gets taken by a better man.

This type of storyline isn’t for everyone and that’s all right. The great thing about the Internet is that there is a little something for everyone. However, as a writer I see my stories traveling a distinct path from cuckold to netorare, although many end with hubby broken by his wife’s desires and forced to become a cuckold slave(Happy For Now, or HFN). Still, I hope to have an idea for a kickass netorare story very soon where the husband (or boyfriend) loses everything at the hands of an alpha male.

What do you think? Overthinking the subject? What kind of Cuckold story do you like?

I have just published I’m Dreaming of Black Christmas. Since I missed the Christmas deadline, I wanted to put this one up for free for a limited time (until January 4th). Please check it out below!

HI all!

So, I was taking a break from editing Black Christmas and I found something that all of my readers may be interested in. It is a cool preview feature from Amazon that allows me to embed the cover and samples of my books. I’d love to post more samples of my published works, unfortunately if you are enrolled in the KDP Select program it limits how much of the story you can add to your blog.

This seems a great way for any new readers to get preview of my books and not make Amazon angry!

Check out the link for Taken by the Rival below! Just click on the pic for a free sample!

This is an older feature, but new to me. I’ll be working on adding more previews later and I will definitely be adding links for any new books I publish.

Keep Reading!

I am currently working on two new series. I had hoped that Dream Job would be published by December, but i think it will be closer to January.

I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas, however, is coming along well.  See the idea for the cover below:

Hope you like the image. I’ll have a blurb for the book up in a couple of days and maybe some tidbits from Dream Job.

As always, email me at manusdarewrites@gmail.com or leave a comment and let me know what you think of the cover!
