To be honest this entire polemic was initially intended as trolling, and I wasn’t really bothered by the story (although, the black guy is actually a basketball player – seriously?), that is until it has gotten serious. I’m sorry if it upset you. Also the doctor story needs moar sexy times.

I figured as much, but it really is something I think about fairly often. The conversation hasn’t upset me in the slightest, but it has given me some stuff to think about, which I appreciate.

Garrison’s Physical

by Wesley Bracken

What kind of doctor’s office even was this?

Garrison sat in the stiff, leather upholstered chair in the waiting room. The slender, heavily pierced receptionist had taken his name with a flourish; he was ninety percent sure he was a faggot. In fact, looking around, he was ninety percent sure that he was surrounded by faggots. They sat around the room, all in these strange leather chairs–two big hefty men in biker gear chuckling along the wall, a grimy, fat skinhead in coveralls fidgeting by the door, and him, in his suit, here for a company physical because he hadn’t been to the doctor in years, but he hated going to the doctor. He hated having some guy put his hands on him, all doctors were probably faggots anyway, and he was perfectly healthy regardless. But he’d needed to, they said, and so he’d picked a random doctor from the book and here he was. He would have gotten up and left in disgust already, if that strange smell in the air wasn’t so…

He’d kind of blanked out again there, that was the second time. Looking at the clock, only a couple of minutes had gone past–the skinhead had gone in, the bikers were staring at him, or more precisely, his crotch. Garrison grabbed a magazine and covered himself, staring them down, and they just stared back. A young man in black, shiny scrubs opened the door and called his name.

Height and weight. Blood pressure and body temperature. Any medications? Any reason you came to see us in particular? Did you fill out our new patient survey? No, we don’t send it to the government, it remains in our office, we merely like to–. Well that’s alright, the doctor will be in to see you shortly.

The smell was stronger here, and the black blinds and black paint and the lack of windows made him feel like hours had passed already. He pulled out his phone and tried to get some emails written, but he just couldn’t focus for some reason. He blanked out for a bit, breathing deep, staring at the wall and counting odd shapes in the spackle, when a loud groan of pleasure from somewhere close by startled him. This was definitely strange, he thought to himself, but still couldn’t quite manage to stand up and leave, and so he sat, and he sat, and he sat. He checked his phone, but it had to be wrong–he couldn’t have been in here for three hours already. It felt like thirty minutes at most, and didn’t most doctor’s offices close around six anyway? Why would he still be here at eight at night?

Finally there was a knock at the door, and the doctor entered the room. He wasn’t dressed like any doctor Garrison had ever seen, he could see the older man’s hairy ass through those rubber chaps he had on, and was he smoking a cigar? And wearing waders? This, he told himself, was wrong, and yet his body couldn’t seem to do anything about it. Somewhere along the line, he had relaxed so much that he simply seemed to be moving in slow motion, as he tried to protest and push past the doctor, who just shoved him back into his seat, talking to him like he hadn’t just tried to get away at all, and just kept talking for a while, his voice distant and muddled, until he told Garrison to go ahead and strip. He tried to leave his underwear on, but the doctor made him take those off too, gathered everything up, and handed it to a nurse out in the hall, before starting the physical.

It proceeded normally enough at first, the doctor working with his stethoscope, inspecting his body, asking him normal enough questions. The man’s smoking bothered him not because of the smoke–Garrison smoked cigars himself–but because the smoke was the same smell he’d been surrounded with all day in the office, but far stronger. He realized that the doctor had been talking this whole time, and he’d also been talking back to him–answering questions, agreeing with statements–but couldn’t remember anything either of them had said the entire time, until the question came, “When did you have your last prostate exam?”

Never. He’d never let some faggot touch his ass like that. That was what faggots did, that was ‘an exit, not an entrance,’ and yet he was lying on his back on a table, legs in the air, while the doctor slipped his rubber gloved fingers in one by one, and it felt good. It felt so good. It felt like those few times, drunk, that he’d taken the dildo one of his ex-girlfriends had left in his apartment and he’d…so fucking good, fuck. Too good. He couldn’t be feeling this, he shouldn’t be feeling this, but the words no couldn’t quite get out of his mouth, and then all of the fingers were in his hole, pushing in, making him cry out, and then the whole fist inside him, so fucking full.

“Good, it look’s great. You have a great hole.”

His cock was hard now, like it’d been those few times. He tried to not think about it, but then the doctor’s other hand wrapped around it and started massaging it, testing his reflexes, the doctor was making curious noises…or were they his noises? He was shooting suddenly, spraying cum up onto his chest.

“Perfectly natural, you’re doing just fine.”

Fine, he felt humiliated, and yet the fist drove in deeper still, and he wanted it in there, he was telling the doctor he wanted his fist inside him.

“Really? My, that seems serious. I’m afraid that you might be a fist pig, did you know that?”

He hadn’t known that.

“Yes, you see, fist pigs need constant anal stimulation, or they tend to develop depression, anxiety, and other problems. I think that we’re going to have to do something about that, don’t you? I’m sure that if you come in twice a week, we can have your ass properly stimulated in no time. A lot of the symptoms you’re seeing will clear up in a few weeks.”

Garrison thanked him. The doctor asked if he’d like to stop, and Garrison said he’d like to cum again, he’d feel a lot better if he shot, yeah, he begged the doctor for more, until he came screaming a second time, and the doctor allowed him to sit up, warned him that he’d have some residual pain and looseness, and that he should come by on Tuesdays and Fridays for his appointments. The doctor also wrote him a prescription–for a haircut, and for twenty sessions at a local tattoo parlour. To help boost his confidence.

Six months later, Garrison had never been happier. Sure, he’d had to quit his office job when he’d gotten his head and hands tattooed, but Grant–the filthy skin in coveralls he’d seen in the waiting room that first day–had gotten him a job at the garbage dump working in the office, so it was all ok. And Grant’s hands were fucking huge, he fucking loved taking that trashman’s arm up to the elbows. e had no idea why he’d waited so long to get a physical, he’d never been in better health in his whole life. Well, the doctor had started to worry about his gastro intestinal urinary imbalance, but that didn’t sound too serious, right?

Tokenism or not, I don’t think it’s a big issue that you don’t incorporate minorities in your stories. I mean, racism is bad. But if you’re not physically attracted to a certain race, is it really racism? I mean, if you’re attracted to white men, stories about white men are going to be made. But if you really don’t mind either way, it’s still nothing to apologize over. You just make more stories for that broader audience. Sorry if I came in at the tail end of this, don’t beat yourself up.

Ummm…..

Two things.

One, being white and only being attracted to white guys *is* racist, and two, I never said that I didn’t find other kinds of men attractive. 

Also, look up the word “broader”, I don’t think you’re using it quite right.

Also again, this isn’t me beating myself up, this is just me trying to figure my personal shit out in public, because that’s always fun.

That’s not what I’m claiming, that’s just an accurate depiction or reality. A black cop could get turned into a leather daddy, or some black office worker into a slob pig and the story wouldn’t need to be altered in the slightest. You’ve written hundreds of stories and things like that only happen to white people? I guess if you don’t feel a need to include people of color, pressuring you into it would indeed be ‘tokenism’ and it’s fine, but at least don’t relegate them to objects of punishment.

1) Well, it isn’t about needing to include them so much as convenience of excluding them, which is a very, very bad reason, I know. I just want to make sure that the actual bad reasons for my choices are transparent, rather than mistaken for other, also terrible, reasons.

2) I’ve mentioned before that most of my porn stories are essentially horror stories. I murder these character here, and contort them into some other terrible form. In my worlds, and in my stories, it isn’t that these things “only happen to white people,” it’s that it feels most comfortable to inflict them on white people, because white people deserve it. Because part of these stories is destroying a person’s privileged identity and forcing them into some other form of punishment. Part of me feels like POC get enough shit without having to see themselves represented in those situations, skin color unmentioned or not. Whether that’s me pulling my punches because I’m a coward (certainly possible) or whether it’s latent white savior complex (also very possible) is debatable. Either way, not good. But one issue: all of my characters become rendered as “objects of punishment,” that’s the nature of these stories. I think what you might have meant, rather is “don’t relegate POC to roles as agents of racial punishment.” That I can totally get behind.

3) Just for clarity here, I’m not offering this as a defense of myself, I agree with pretty much everything you’re saying here. This is me publicly working through my own shit and trying to figure out a way to not be so shitty.

4) You’re essentially right–I really do need to widen the diversity of characters represented here. 

Also wow, including people of color in stories when their characterization isn’t defined by their skin is in no way tokenism, it’s just not being racist. Unless the ‘pigtown’ where your stories take place is an imaginary place with no minorities, that’s fine I guess, but if they actually appear, except only to inflict a punishment on somebody, that’s worrisome. I don’t think it would be hard to sneak in a PoC into one of your photo captions, without even mentioning what his skin looks like.

Yeah, remember when I said whitewashing sucks? I’m well aware that it sucks for all these reasons. But claiming “I’m less racist because all of my stories include at least one minority character who ‘exists’, even if their roles in the story are ‘snuck in’ and marginal” is *also* a terrible argument to try and make.

I’m bad at it. I get that. I’m working on it, and generally failing. 

My beef with the story wasn’t that you have included racist, white supremacist characters, there is nothing wrong with that, but the fact that each time I could have recalled black people actually appearing in your stories (admittedly I’ve missed the one you’ve linked) it was in an exclusively racially loaded setting, namely a racist person being punished by having to bottom for them like in this case or that old story about some old man, that is what I found really bothersome.

Nah, that’s totally fair criticism right there. It’s something that the entire MC/TF genre falls into really easily, and it bothers me too, which is why I end up whitewashing, which is also bad, but perhaps slightly not as bad? Still bad, regardless. This whole story was intended to skewer that trope a bit, but that is not at all visible from the excerpt I included here, and is only just started to be drawn out in the longer segment in the archive.

Of course, you can dissociate the author from the work as much as you want, I’m sure these people writing books denying that the holocaust ever happened might as well be open minded progressives too, but somehow I don’t think that’s the case. That being said I think that Darius’ transformation was really hot, and I wish that your stories included black people in some scenarios that did not revolve solely around racial abuse.

Well, one example is hardly a signal of a trend, but I have tried to do that in the past: http://wesleybracken.tumblr.com/post/75937293788/when-had-you-noticed-him-there-where-had-you-first

But you’re right, overall. Still, to tweak your analogy to be a bit more on point, the inclusion of a holocaust denier character in an short excerpt from a book doesn’t necessarily mean the author denies the holocaust, especially if the rest of that book goes on to subvert that character’s belief system. That would be more analogous to what’s going on here, which is where the story was intended to go (i.e. using those characters’ fight against their racial caricature TF personas and assert themselves as well rounded whole individuals beyond those roles would be central to the plot and development of the story). It was never finished, of course, so who knows if it would have worked out that way.

I generally shy away from race entirely in these stories, which results in white washing, which is also a form of racism. I shy away from race because the easy alternative is “tokenism” (i.e. coloring a character even though that color has no bearing on their story; the character who just happens to be black/Asian/Native American etc.) which I find disingenuous, and just as bad as racial stereotype TF’s. But, to avoid that tokenism requires a depth of treatment of POC experiences which I don’t have easy access to. I wrote this section of “Hick Frat” several years ago at this point, and this scene was one of those pieces of writing which I still wrestle with, and is one of very few scenes I have written with non-white characters. Whitewashing isn’t a solution of course, but as I sort through my own writing and this genre and try to find a place for race which isn’t insulting/traumatic/damaging that’s the choice I’d rather make.
