The Author Comments

Sometimes while writing, you think, “I’ve really hit on something here” – and the readers agree.

In the mid 90’s, I was watching the “Loveline” sex advice show regularly on MTV. As a preteen and teenager, I’d read lots of sex advice columns in magazines. So, I knew how to write realistically about sex problems, and the kinds of responses that were given.

I had this story in mind a long, long time before I sat down to write it. I think it came out really good. I’ve seen it rec’d at various times. It really is nothing more than a PWP, but it worked.

Or, rather, the conversation in the car works. I’m not sure that the story really amounts to much once they get to Hutch’s apartment. It’s the getting there that’s all the fun. [1]

Reactions and Reviews

My favorite Charlotte Frost story, because I loved the opening dialog. [2]

On a routine stakeout, (and you've just gotta love all the mischief these two get up to while on stakeout), Starksy's got nothing to do but lust after women in a girlie magazine. Not wanting to leave Hutch out of the fun, Starsky innocently draws him in... but what he's got on his mind is anything but "girlie"...

"All right, let’s see how you do with these questions. This section is called, ‘Dear Sexperts’, and it’s where people write in with their sex problems. So, let’s see how close your answers come to those of the sexperts."

Hutch nodded, feeling smug that he could answer with far more superiority than anyone who wrote an advice column for a skin magazine. "All right." He ran his fingers along his mustache.

Sexperts is a simple, yet funny "first time" story. I'm reccing this story because who couldn't love AnalSexCurious!Starsky, quizzing self-proclaimed "sexpert", and hilariously smug Hutch about the joys of sex... particularly the male/male kind.

I like the idea of two guys as close as S&H frankly discussing women and sex... and sounding like two guys while doing it. (Charlotte's very good at the "hey we're guys" aspect of S&H).

What follows is a lovely form of seduction. Starsky seducing Hutch with his frankness and curiosity, Hutch seducing Starsky with his honesty and openness. Nothing like being seduced by conversation.

"Come on, Starsky." Now Hutch was getting uncomfortable and he heard the irritation in his own voice. "If I ever slept with a guy, it could only be you." There. That’ll shut him up.

After a long moment, Starsky said, "Really?"

Do I really have to explain this? Apparently so. "Starsky, I at least have feelings for you. I can’t sleep with someone I don’t feelings for."

Was that a gauntlet thrown? A challenge issued? A yearning voiced?

"Hmm." Starsky shifted to toss the magazine into the backseat. When he settled back against the door, his voice was soft and quiet. "You know, Hutch, I’d do it for you, if you wanted."

Ah, seduction. [3]

This is one of those stories I go back and forth about. Charlotte has a way with Starsky and Hutch and she's definitely made a mark on the fandom:) [4]

During a long stakeout, Starsky quizzes Hutch on his sexual knowledge and things heat up quickly. This first time fic is so hot you might need a cold shower after reading it. [5]
