Whenever you feel you’re using someone, just realize that person may well be using you for either the same or different aims.

R. Jay Moran

The idea of “using someone” in a sexual sense tends to have a bad connotation. Deep deceit or betrayal does not usually engender good feelings. But what if all participants are getting something out of the situation? Is using people in that context so bad?

People engage in sex for many different reasons. Some need simple release, others may be looking for a sense of belonging or appreciation, while still others may engage in sex for status, revenge, or even to please another person.

For example, in a cuckold situation, the Cuck is using the Bull to fulfill his sexual desire of seeing his wife with someone else. The wife may be using the Bull to please herself or please her husband, or perhaps to feel attractive. But the Bull is also using both of them — exploiting their personal needs in order to achieve his own sexual desire to take another man’s wife. Everyone is using everyone else and can only guess at what the other individuals are getting out of the situation.

I wanted to explore this theme a bit further and create a series of stories where every character is using another for their own reasons. Who should we root for? Well, that’s up to you. The interesting thing is that everyone either gets what they want or what they think they want – at least for that moment. Only time and reflection will illustrate the true costs and benefits of their actions:

Sorority Pledges vs. “Someone’s Dad” – a Three-Part Series

Part 1 of the Sorority Pledges series features a student named Emily who needs to make a dirty video with a stranger in order to get into Alpha Pi Phi. She chooses a middle-aged man named Mark. Mark realizes he’s being used and decides to use the situation for his own purposes.

Part 2 features Mark being contacted by Molly, another pledge and a daughter of a co-worker. She offers herself to Mark under the pretense of getting into the sorority, but her true motives are different.

Part 3 is a tale of sexual repression masquerading as revenge. Molly’s mother Lillian is religious and conservative. When she finds the video of her daughter with Mark, she responds by forcing him into a position of sexual humiliation which gives her an excuse to get out her own sexual frustrations as well as reclaim her power. But it isn’t that simple. Mark turns the tables forcing her into a different role and one that she accepts, framing her actions in her own way as an act of service to her religion.

Other stories where this theme appears include:

Fading Movie Star Meets Her Match – An aging starlet invites a writer over for a pool-side meeting. She wants to use him as a vehicle for her Hollywood comeback. He realizes that what she really wants is much different and uses the situation to his advantage.

Embracing Her Inner Porn Star – An older divorced lady goes on a date with a young football player. Her master is hundreds of miles away in a hotel room. He arranges the date so that she can record a sex video for him. As things progress she becomes more empowered and gives her master more than he bargained for.

Let me know what you think about this theme. Does it turn you on? Have you ever used someone yourself? Which stories, in particular, have you enjoyed? I’d love to know.
