Concupiscence - Issue # 23
Another Short Story and Work In Progresses
Every time I start an Issue of Concupiscence, I am in awe of how far these weekly posts have come. I started Concupiscence to do justice to the newsletter format of After a Good Date, and also a space where I can write directly to my subscribers, and also for readers who visit this regularly. It’s my favorite part of writing here. I have a few exciting things to say in today’s Issue. So, let’s get started!
Sneha at the Mall — A Short Story
The Shorts section is quickly becoming a favorite among my readers. I have had a few short story ideas for some time. I use the word ‘short’ pretty loosely in these stories. Sneha at the Mall is an 8000-word-long story, which is pretty much a two-part story, a 35-minute read. It’s actually as long as A Proper One Night Stand in length. Shorts will have stories that have only one sexual act, one sexualized scene.
The two Shorts, that I have published so far have been fiction. Back in Issue#3, I had written about a real estate broker, Shreya. I didn’t write it as a separate story, but as a story within the weekly Issues of Concupiscence. I will put it together as a story in Shorts.
A Sequel to Thirsty Neighbor
The Thirsty Neighbor, the story about Aanya, was supposed to be a one-part story. However, after receiving more than a couple of messages from my readers, about the story needing a continuation, I am working on a sequel for Aanya’s story.
I am not giving away the title here, but this will have a theme that I haven’t written much about, even after a year of writing here.
Pornstack — A Newsletter that Reviews Porn
I stumbled upon a really interesting (and hot) newsletter — Pornstack. It’s by
, who identifies herself as a Sissy, and reviews porn from a sissy's point of view. It's been some time since she has posted, but all the post that are there has some really interesting content.Think of this Substack as a review site for long-format porn movies. I love how honest she is while writing these reviews, and she’s a digital artist, so, her illustrations are fun to see too. The porn videos she reviews are premium, so, it’s not easy to watch the porn movies that she reviews, but you can get all the good (and bad) parts of the porn she reviews.
About the Erotica Art
After Sneha at the Mall, I got several messages (more than usual) asking me about how I generate the art that comes with my stories. I always write the same thing — Imagined with Stable Diffusion. And, that is indeed the answer. I get a lot of queries as to how one can get started with it and are these images free to generate.
Well, the answer to these questions is a little complicated. The short answer is, it’s free to generate erotica images with stable diffusion, but there are some hoops to go through, to be able to get past the filter for these generations.
And then there’s the question of fine-tuned models. Most of the images you see in my stories, especially after February, are from a model called deliberate. It’s a free model to download, however, to run it locally on your computer, you need a beefy specs.
I am planning to write a detailed post about my workflow in making the images that you see in my post. But, it’s the kind of technical work, which oddly makes writing that feel very much like my actual
In the mean time, considering showing your support for my, by maybe checking out my Art Packs?
The Wild Indica
I have been avoiding writing about this for quite some time. I quietly, unpublished my Wild Indica posts, and deleted The Wild Indica section from After a Good Date. I did that because, I want to separate the journalistic-sort of erotica from the prose erotica that I primarily do here.
I am yet to setup a separate home for those Wild Indica posts. I am also in the process of interviewing some really hot Redditors, and I think I will re-launch Wild Indica with a new interview.
A Small Makeover
A few days back, I got a DM that my listings on Gumroads are cumbersome to scroll-through on mobile. The reason being the cover-art for the listing, which is same as the cover art I made for the eBook, which I had done for my Kindle Direct Publishing listings, is too long. Moreover, the images don’t have enough definition to look good when stretched to that aspect ratio.
I have slowly started giving my listings a makeover. The first ones to get that are my best-selling books - An Evening with the Girls and Reeti to Rita.
Oh, and now you can see how many copies of these books have been sold. I understand that, me being an independent seller, selling erotica on the a site, that’s not widely known, is shady. I think the number of sales will give you some confidence. I have said this many times, I value privacy and security above everything.
If you like my work, and want to support me, consider doing that by buying one of my books or other things which I offer on my Gumroad.
And, these listings are very comfortable to scroll through.
Commissioned Stories
Now and then, I receive DMs for stories that people would love to read. I love some of the plots that I get to read, and I’d love to write these stories. In fact, a few weeks back, I started a Thread on my Substack Chat, about Themes that my subscribers would like to explore. I have gotten a couple of good ideas from it, and will write them eventually.
However, if you really want a story to be written, catering to certain fetishes that you have, you can commission it! These commissioned stories are private i.e. they are for the eyes of the patron only. So, you can ask me to include details, which you are probably uncomfortable to be put together in a public story. You can choose character names and the general plot and the kinds of things you want these characters to do. Anything goes in these stories, except minors or anything that is blatantly illegal.
You get to experience your fetish, and also support me in doing more work here at After a Good Date.

What to Expect in Coming Weeks
Well, this week is at an end, and I am sorry that I couldn’t write their part of Twice the Fun. I intend to finish writing the story about Tara really soon.
I am working on a spicy new story for Dominoes of Desire. It will heavily lean on bondage and submission. It will be the kinkiest story that I have written to date. It will be called Knot for Two, and no, it has absolutely nothing to do with Untying the Knots. It’s just that I love the word ‘knot’.
A sequel to The Thirsty Neighbor is due, and I have already started writing it.
About a Common Whore has been on pause for a while, and will stay that way. I am not in the headspace to write about Roli. Her story is dark and sad, and it’s something that I don’t want to get into for the time being.
That will be all for this Issue. See you next week, Happy Reading!
