Showering With Jennifer

by Robert Lubrican

Did you ever get caught in an unplanned situation that slowly got weird, out of control, and took you and a member of the opposite sex to a place neither of you expected? I don't mean it was beyond your wildest dreams. We're talking alternate reality, here. Well, it happened to me. And then it got even crazier.

Just finished Showering with Jennifer and as usual Lubrican entertained me. No one was humiliated as that is not his style. Just a humorous quirky tale but also plausible in the real world. Bob and Jennifer are first cousins, raised by his parents after hers were killed in an auto accident, but they fall in love. Fast forward to Bob's serving in the Air Force with Kaylee and she is also in love with her cousin and proposes a solution to both of their predicaments. I like Robert's humorous "tongue in cheek" style
and approach to his stories so this is book number 76 that I have read

This is a preamble for each review of a Robert Lubrican stories that I do. I just copy and paste this for future books as I need to qualify these types of books before I get to the actual story. Come to think of it, it is sort of what the author does at the beginning of each of his books. The author actually explains that he wants to write about a person's first sexual experience. The problem is that amazon and other sites won't let people write about sexual activity for anyone under the age of 18. As if people under the age of 18 don't have sexual thoughts or feelings. That is his POV. So, he writes the book the way he envisions it and then goes back and changes the age to 18. This can make it, so the person feels a little sexually stunted. What seems perfectly reasonable for a 16-year-old to feel/think about sex it is harder to imagine an 18-year-old not having more self-awareness. Another thing that his stories seem to focus on is some sort of taboo nature. Something that society at large would frown on. I can understand and agree. When I hear stories about alternative marriages where a man might have 5 wives and a lot of kids, I feel a certain way. I feel the women are being coerced or brainwashed or something. What would I think if I heard the story from that women when she was like 60 years old and she told me she could not imagine a happier life how would I feel then? If an older man chases after a younger woman, we call that grooming which is absolutely wrong. What happens when a younger woman becomes infatuated with an older man and chases that man? Is it wrong? We think it is because it doesn't seem healthy. What would we think though if they ended up happily together for the rest of their lives? It is easy to say that a young person just doesn't know what they are doing when they are younger. This is very reductive. They might not have the experience to know about long term consequences, but their feelings are valid. So, a long blurb turned short. This author writes beautiful stories about new sexual experiences and love that will probably make most readers cringe a little at first. If the reader can get past that cringe factor and realize this is a fictional story the actual relationships and communication is something that would be beneficial to most couples, I think. Again, if you can get past the "wrongness" of the relationship to begin with.

This one is a little bit tabooer than what I am comfortable with. The story follows 2 cousins that live together and end up having sex. The impetuous of this whole scenario is something that is wrong. Guy goes into the bathroom while his cousin is taking a shower since he really has to use the bathroom. There is a frosted glass between then when he starts fantasizing about her being naked. That is the first time he thought of her like that. He ends up going in there more and more thinking he is sneaky. Then he goes back to his room to masturbate. Then he starts masturbating while he is in the bathroom with her. This keeps up until one day he is taking a shower and she comes in. What he didn't know is that from the inside of the shower there isn't the vague shape that can be seen from the outside. Everything is perfectly clear. She has known about what he was doing the whole time. She thought he knew this. She wasn't mad. It actually turned her on. This brought about their sexual learning together. It seemed like he was more in love with her than she was with him. For him it was someone finally letting him do the things he has always wanted to do. None of the other girls thought he was good enough. This made him love his cousin even more. For her it was more about the experience. She wanted to have these experiences with someone she trusted and wasn't allowed to date. He was just someone that was there that she loved and trusted but wasn't necessarily in love with him. This whole setup is messed up. It doesn't matter that she was turned on and excited by what he did. It didn't even matter that they were cousins per se, it was more him creeping on her while she was in the shower. That is not and never is okay. That is predatory. It doesn't matter that he felt bad about it later. It was absolutely wrong. Not taboo. Wrong. Things build up and they end up having sex. They know they can't be together, but they also can't' live without each other. He joins the air force. He meets a woman while he is in, and they become friends. He tells her he has a GF at home, and she has a BF. Him and his cousin are still in love and send sex videos to each other. His friend finds one of the videos that has her talking about how they are cousins and how she can't wait to F him again. She confronts him and tells him she is in the same situation. Her BF is also her cousin. She comes up with a plan for them to be together. They will marry each other and all 4 will live together. It will be a sham marriage, but it will appease everyone in their lives. Nobody will know that they are sleeping with their cousins. The plan changes a little. After they all meet up, they find out there is attraction with each other. They end up in sort of a polyamorous life where they have 9 children between them and both men fathering kids with each woman.

Another issue I had is the presentation. This author tends to write taboo literature and then changes things to make it not-so-bad. Most of the times this works but sometimes it causes problems with continuity. The cousin, Jennifer wasn't allowed to date. It was specifically stated she was 18 but was still in high school and had a couple more years. Why would an 18-year-old not be able to date? It is obvious she was originally going to be 16 or younger and he had to change it so that amazon would publish it. The second problem was the people they married. They were also "cousins", except it was also mentioned how they were twins. So, it was even more obvious that they were originally supposed to be brother and sister but that was a little too taboo for the moderators, so it was changed. Some of those previous descriptors were still left in which made it a little too obvious. I wasn't sure about the ending either. Most of the book was spent discussing how they never wanted to be with anyone else and then they ended up with a polyamorous relationship. There is enough love to go around? Bob was incredibly jealous in the beginning of the story just thinking about Jennifer even kissing another guy but, in the end, he had no problem watching her have sex with another man. Meh, it was okay but didn't really speak to me like some of this author's other stories.

Strange but good

This story brought up all kinds of different emotions for me, not that I am against or being judgmental or even experienced any such relationship. Honestly, I can't place why this book affected me like it did. I am not sorry I read it. It just left me emotionally discombobulated.

If you are into taboo erotica you should read this. The writing was good quality for an erotica novel.
