"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

The Girlfriend Experience 2.3-4: Hard to Come By

The Girlfriend Experience continued its second season of split hour stories in 2.3-4 with two stories having almost nothing in common other than the girlfriend experience and sexual fulfillment being hard to come by.

Bria leads off with a guy who doesn't want to rush things, and resists her sweet offer of sex at least twice.   At this point, it's not clear if this is actually not a true girlfriend experience, in which the experience leads to, or frames, the sex, or just a longer lead time than usual (I suspect the latter).  And then, when she seeks some comfort in her witness protection protector, he says no, too, after they get all to the verge.  That, I guess, makes sense, since he takes his job seriously.  But Bria can't be happy that her powers seduction have failed with two men, in so short a time.

Meanwhile, Anna (I think) let's Erica make her come (I say I think, because I'm assuming faking it is a big part of her job), but Erica says she can't reciprocate.  Actually Erica's inability comes first, which makes it even more likely that Anna's faking it to keep Erica engaged.  But, who knows, we don't Anna well enough, as yet, to tell.

Given that each hour consists of two separate stories, it's reasonable to ask or wonder or whatever the right verb is about which of the stories is better.  It's pretty even, so far.  Bria's story is one hell of a witness protection tale so far, and all the characters, especially Kayla, have not yet come into play.  And you couldn't ask for a more relevant story that Anna and Erica's, given what we're seeing on the news every day.

More to follow.
