  SUMMARY

Tim is hot for Steven.  Steven is married to Jenn.  Steven is not hot

  COMMENTARY

This is a very arousing story.  Steven does not seem completely 
certain about the course of action he takes, but he does seem to get 
a charge out of being as exhibitionistic as he is.  I think this 
served to make the story more arousing.  I also have to admit that 
seeing a man expose himself to another man, at least under these 
circumstances, got me aroused.  Its nice to see a man who is 
confident enough in his sexuality to take a chance.

This story is well written.  There are three characters, but the 
focus is on Steven.  It is not told from his point of view, but the 
author seems to be more concerned with what he experiences, rather 
than how his relationships with Tim and Jenn change.  The plot is 
well paced.  It might have been nice if the characters were a bit 
deeper, but then again, this is a stroke story.

I enjoyed this story; some of you might not.  There are hints of 
homosexuality or male bisexuality in this story.  If even the hint of
those topics bothers you that much, then maybe you will not be able 
to enjoy this story.  On the other hand, I think you'll be missing a 
story that is well written and very arousing.  I have given it a Very
Good.
