"Life(guard) Lessons" (Patreon)

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of “The Lesson,” my first foray into weight-gain fiction. At the time, I assumed it would be my one and only. Outside of genre master Wilson Barbers and a couple others who wrote for fetishy men’s periodicals, there wasn’t much of a calling. The Internet was in its infancy and sites like feeder.com and Dimensions were just emerging. And although those sites opened my eyes (and my pants) when I discovered them back in 1995, most of the fiction posted there was limp and unfinished…and left me the same way!

I primarily wrote “The Lesson” in response, believing I could craft a story that was both compelling and titillating. And although I wrote it primarily for myself--both as a writing exercise and to satisfy my own prurient interests--I hoped it would be well-received. Fortunately, it was. All these years later I still get nice comments on it. Some even go beyond “great story” (which I love to hear) and mention how it was their first—the first story to arouse, the first to inspire, and in some cases the first step in their journey of weight-gain fetish self-discovery. I am humbled and honored that my little piece of masturbatory fiction ultimately performed a greater service than merely, um, servicing.  

Recently, many of you (and you know who you are!) have messaged me about your desire for another story like “The Lesson.” Some asked for a comeuppance story in a similar vein, while others have asked for a direct sequel or even a remake. While I don’t like to repeat myself, I kept your requests in the back of my mind, waiting for the right time and opportunity to revisit that story’s seminal themes. 

Then, a couple months ago, I discovered a weight-gain panel by prettynchubby (https://www.deviantart.com/prettynchubby) that inspired the story below. Although it is not a sequel to “The Lesson,” it is definitely its spiritual successor.  And what better time to publish it than now, a quarter century after the original's debut? 

Hopefully, it feels like the first time. Enjoy!

AUTHOR’S NOTE: I will be posting the story in three parts, once per week. Although I have prettynchubby’s blessing to use her visuals, I am hoping she’ll follow up on my request for higher resolution ones. If she does, I will update accordingly.
