Hey, guys? Need your help. I’m writing a novel, and I’m stuck.
Brief overview: Story’s about two “special” friends. Yep, they’re gay. They’re also young (but not so young as to make it illegal) and they live in a red state, so naturally they have to hide their relationship from everyone else. So…they’ve come up with code words, based on console games, for when they want to sneak away from their other friends for a quickie.
“Playstation” is regular sex. Wild, hot, monkey sex. Anything goes.
“Nintendo” is head.
Now, I’m in scene where they’re brainstorming other game names, and coming up with acts to match. Already done Atari, Genesis, and GameCube. Last one is DreamCast. And it’s gotta be the one to top them all.
And…that’s where I’m stuck. I can’t think of what DreamCast should be.
None of my IRL friends are filthy enough to come up with proper ideas, so naturally, I’m resorting to the 'Dope.
And keep in mind, it should be a one-man act. (But, I’m open to other ideas.)
Heh. Great ideas so far (always can count on you guys) but…I think, some of this stuff’s a little advanced for the kids in this story. (15-17 range, haven’t nailed it down yet.)
Or…maybe not. It’s been a long time since high school. Have times changed that much?!?
Unless these are serious risk-takers, I doubt that would happen. The possibility of being caught loses a lot of its thrill when the likely punishment involves being sent away to an ex-gay camp or being thrown out of the house instead of a wink and a warning.
At that age I never thought that far ahead (never got caught either) but then KGS knows how they’d think so ok.
Could they expect privacy out in the wilderness?
As a matter of fact, they do. Quite a bit. Well, except that one time. But that would be a spoiler…
As for the original question…well, I decided to go with something a little bit more romantic. Not that there’s anything wrong with filthy, filthy is good. But I decided the scene called for romantic.
Great ideas all around, though. Some of them might even work their way into the story. I’ll have to give props to the SDMB when I’m on the Rosie O’Donnell show in two years.
I’m sure video games have. When I was in high school, the most cutting-edge thing out there was Pac-Man. Which I recall Timothy Leary, in a lecture, using as a metaphor for drugs: You’re getting chased by the narcs gobbling these pills, until you find the super-pill and then you can turn on the narcs . . .
That could be a sexual metaphor. “Let’s play Pac-Man” = “Let’s get do some ecstasy and ketamine before we get nasty.”
I was thinking you were asking about specific games, not systems. ‘Cuz I was gonna say plain ol’ anal sex could be a Super Mario, since he’s going down the pipe and all…
