Yo!
July 25th is my birthday!  Is that not awesome!
Anyway, I felt like posting something on the board, so here's my post. Love meh! (lol)
I gots a question for you all. Is it rude that when someone gives me a compliment, that I tell the person it's not true? Like if someone said I was cute, and I said it wasn't true, which is true (from my perspective) is that rude?
Oh. and I'm currently into brotherly incest. Love it! Anyway. I'll give you a link to a story I'm reading that has brotherly incest in it. Read at your discresion. If you aren't into it, don't read.

There's a link to the first chapter. Personally, I love the story, and it's one of my favourites that I've read. Enjoy.
Peace.

Dear Josh,
No it isn't rude (unless you do it with unkind or dismissive words).
Compliments and how people handle them are interesting. A lot of people say "Thank you" when they are complimented, but consider what the favour might be! For example compliments about a person's age (to choose an unsexist subject) when someone says "You don't look as if you could possibly be fifty." which was said to someone in my hearing the other day. The person addressed said "Thank you." and I said "Why are you thanking them?" If you really don't look fifty then thanking them for telling the truth is a sort of slight - without such thanks would they lie? Or the other way round (which is commoner) that the truth is that they do look over fifty but not by much then what you are saying thank you for is for bending the truth in order to be flattering. And most compliments are flattery aren't they?
Now I'm going to read your story. I think sex between brothers is quite common and I don't like to use the word incest about it because that seems to condemn it too severely.
Love,
Anthony

Dear Josh,
I didn't understand; it wasn't YOUR story; it was a story you liked. I'm glad you liked it but I didn't like it enough to read beyond chapter two. But that's because I'm not particularly excited by what they do and I don't think that it is very true to life.
As you know (if you've read my posts here) I am quite old and grew up in a totally different world so you will excuse me for not being enthusiastic about stories where very young teenagers are into anal sex and so on. It doesn't turn me on.
But I think I can understand people who do like sex with their brothers. I had a brother once but he died rather a long time ago - 14 or 15 years. We never got on together. I could easily imagine having a nicer brother.
Do you have a brother? Or a sister?
Love,
Anthony

Hi Josh,
You can deny a compliment without being rude, but you might ask yourself why you feel compelled to deny it: is it really false, or does the compliment make you uncomfortable? If the former, consider the compliment from the other person's perspective. That person might really like long necks (I do!), and tell you that you're cute if you have one. If your cuteness gauge doesn't consider necks, then you and the other person can both be right. If compliments make you uncomfortable, maybe you are too hard on yourself (I am!) You could experiment: allow yourself a warm fuzzy that someone thinks well of you, then say "Thank you" or "I'm glad you think so." You might find that accepting the compliment actually is kind of nice.

Hey
Thanks for your reply. I have nothing against compliments. Sometimes I like them, and sometimes I do not. Other times, I find them extremely annoying (for some reason.)
I can take a compliment from friends and people that I know "in real life," but I also have difficulty taking compliments from people I've never met. Not that I haven't met you all, but I mean a face-to-face meeting. Until I do, it feels a little wierd accepting a compliment from people. Does that make any sense? I hope it does.
I do have friends and people I consider my friends, and I'm grateful for them.
Thanks for your reply.
*hugs*
~Josh~

I think this story is one of the hottest I've ever read. It's about two brothers; starts interestingly, builds to an incredibly hot night, has an interesting murder mystery that develops, hot sex all throughout, and ends happily.

I've always wanted a brother. Not just because there might be some playing around sexually, but just because brothers are so cool. Seeing Alan and Jonathan together, even though they're not real brothers makes me wish I had got involved in the Little Brother program too. But then, there's no guarantee I would have drawn a guy as great as Alan.

You asked about compliments.
The hardest lesson to learn is to accept a compliment with grace. A simple "thank you" is all that is needed, because it acknowledges the compliment. It doesn't agree or disagree with it, just thanks the person for giving it.
Even if compliments are not to your taste, please still thank the giver. It's not rude, not exactly, not to, but it is less than polite. It's a little like turning your back on someone who just gave you a friendly smile.
Accept a compliment with good grace. It is rare that the giver lies. You just may not agree with them.
Dealing with that is also easy. Imagine answering "you're cute" with "I never quite believe that about myself. It embarrasses me a little, but it's nice to hear. Thank you." No-one is upset and the giver gets a warm glow - you have given them something, even though, internally, you have probably rejected the compliment.

Thanks Timmy for your post. I appreciate it.
*hugs* I'll try to accept compliments from people. I am a nice person, sometimes compliments are a little annoying though. I suppose that's normal.
Thanks again.

It takes practice. And it can feel mildly odd to accept a compliment. But, if you consider it, we "pay people compliments" so all you are doing is giving a receipt.

HI Josh, I see you are also a Leo and born in the last few days of that sign just like me. I will be 69 on the 24th. Hey, I just thought about the number "69" and got my hopes up. Happy coming birthday.
I read a lot of those stories myself so you are not alone in liking them.
