Apparently I Was Wrong

First thing's first: I'm antsier than a bitch in heat because I haven't had an orgasm which involved penetration by penis in a ridiculously long time. Which may be coloring my judgment slightly. I've been a bit stressed out, but nothing like I was at the close of last year, and the combination of stress and lack of a way to get any has really driven my sex drive into a wild tailspin.

Dad has been unavailable for various reasons. Nothing sinister, I hope, but he just hasn't been available. And while if I had the solace of Sveta or some other form of non-male partnership to keep me sane, I wouldn't mind so much (but I might mind a bit, much as it pains me to say that, because I can't go for too long without some cock in my life), I've got nothing else. I haven't had the time to visit Kate, though I've meant to several times, and then she injured herself and isn't really up for any sort of shenanigans, so while I might be able to get something out of Roger, I doubt I'd want to. I have been severely tempted to break my embargo on Perry, just because he's someone who'd be glad to give me a little bedroom action that I'm dying for.

But no. Poor Lexi and her magical fingers, which are becoming less and less magical every time I am forced to settle for them instead of something else. I know, I'm coming across as a whiny asshole to all those out there in readerland who think that "regular" sex is once a month. But my needs are extreme, and I've grown accustomed to their fulfillment. I'm sorry for whining. I didn't mean to whine.

I meant to talk about what happened yesterday at work. I was sitting in the audience after rehearsal getting notes from the director, with one of the tempting yet unavailable women of the cast right beside me. We get along fine, she and I, but I'd never put the moves on her even if I didn't know she was married because she's kind of shy, introverted, the type of person I'd feel bad putting the moves on because it would put her in an awkward position. I don't even ogle her when she's not looking much; she's just too nice and shy for me not to feel slightly guilty about it.

She has the physical attributes to mesh perfectly with her social ones; she's tiny, somewhat mousy but in an attractive way, a little voice, just wee. She's older than I am, probably by ten years at least, but she's in much better shape than I am, sandy-blonde hair, blue-gray eyes, just cute.

And nothing happened.

Okay, kidding, but I had to say that because otherwise I've just telegraphed the entire story, haven't I? Would I really spend this much time talking about her if nothing had happened? I think not.

Anyway, we're sitting there, doing a bit of chatting on the QT while the director talks, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, she puts her hand on top of mine. Maybe it was an accident, and she wasn't thinking, and my hand just happened to be on the handrest. Whatever it was, I think she expected me to do something, but I just let her put her hand on top of mine.

Then, lo and behold, she wrapped her hand around mine. It could have been excused as purely sisterly at this point (sisterly for the general public that is; sisterly for me is cunnilingus). I enjoyed it. I haven't been getting a lot of human contact recently, and holding hands can be nice. I realized that we were at the back of the group, that no one could see what was going on, probably about an hour after she realized the same thing because it was obvious she was up to something.

The fingers interlaced a little, then a lot. Normally I wouldn't give a tremendous post-facto forensic breakdown of hand-holding, but this was just so crazy I remember all the steps. Then her fingers curled up under my hand and pressed her nails into my palm a little, lightly, not painfully. She wasn't even looking at me; she was just staring straight ahead at the director, like she was listening to notes. I let her do whatever she wanted to do.

Then she slipped our joined hands off the handrest and down to rest in her lap. She was wearing workout pants, having changed out of her costume, loose, baggy things. But her thighs are in much better shape than mine, I can tell you that. Mine get a bit flabby (don't think I'm putting myself down; you've never felt my thighs) at times. And my hand was resting right above her crotch.

Up until this point, it might have been just weird sisterly affection. Some people display friendliness in ways that others don't. Hand-holding has never been one of my friendship signals, but then I'll fuck someone at the drop of a hat, so maybe I just leap straight past that stage. Anyway, once she put my hand in her lap, there was no question that this was no longer innocent. She pressed my hand down between her legs a little, her fingers atop mine, moving my hand into the space between those taut little thighs. And oh my God was she warm. She was putting off heat like a wood stove. Through the fabric of the pants, which was not thin, she still felt like she was on fire.

At this point, I had three options: I could gently but firmly withdraw my hand, with whatever reaction that entailed; I could simply sit back and let her do whatever she was planning on doing, or I could signal my interest in continuing so she wouldn't be out on a limb. I won't lie and say that it was an instant decision. I didn't really want to withdraw, and had I decided to do that, I certainly would have done it in a way which made no judgment. But the other two options seemed equally interesting, mostly because I was tired and didn't want to push anything, because I still didn't quite believe it was happening. It was a bit shocking, really. Here was the woman who I would have put last on the list in the cast even to be receptive to advances, let alone make advances herself, let alone in this manner.

In the end, after she opened those wonderful thighs a little and hesitated, I pressed down with my middle finger without prompting and stroked it up and down between, feeling the heat flowing off her, wondering if she was drenched underneath. I was becoming a bit dewy myself.

She looked at me out of the corner of her eye, still facing forward toward the director, and gave me the cutest little secret-squirrel smile, which I returned. To all observers, we might have been enjoying a private joke. Her hand stayed over mine, but it was now merely present, not active. Her lovely thighs opened a bit more and she shifted slightly, and I could feel her pubic bone through the fabric as I stroked again.

Then I cheekily shifted my hand up and to the waistband of her pants, to see what she'd do. Her hand stayed right where it was, and she arched her back slightly as I touched the smooth skin, my fingers dipping into her pants slightly. I didn't hesitate to slip under the lace panties I felt but didn't see. I moved my hand down over her lower abdomen, my fingers cold compared to her burning skin.

She has a carpet of silky hair which I imagine is probably the same color as that on her head. I didn't turn to look. It wasn't unkempt, although it was a little sweaty or juicy. As my fingers approached the apex of her cunt I hesitated, just a moment, still not really believing, until she moved the hand still in her lap slightly, stroking it against mine, which was all the invitation I needed.

She's tight too. No children, to the best of my knowledge, and exercise and probably just her size have left her with a tight little pussy, but a hot, wet one that welcomed my finger with open labia. I fingered her, slowly, gently, slipping in and out, running up to the hood of her clitoris and back to the honey pot again. I risked a look at her face; she was trying hard to keep normal, but she had a sort of dreamy look. I hope the director, who was the only one facing us, didn't pay too much attention.

She didn't get sloppy, just lubed, and when I introduced a second finger to the mix she shivered slightly and sucked in a breath, and her cunt spasmed three times, tiny little spasms but perhaps an orgasm. It didn't seem to affect her much; her hand pressed down on mine a little, and her leg muscles tightened just perceptibly. And then that was it, and she let me keep fingering her until the notes were finished, with no further fanfare.

Then she turned and smiled her secret-squirrel smile at me again and took her hand away from mine, and I sensed that any further activities couldn't be conducted at the moment, because they would be too conspicuous. So I pulled my hand from her pants, discreetly licked my fingers with a shit-eating grin, and prepared to be instructed to meet her somewhere for further excitement.

And then she went home without saying a word to me. And today, no mention was made. I didn't want to bring it up, but on the other hand I really did. I would have happily fingerbanged her in public again if that's what it took, but damn it, I really could use a bit of quid pro quo. Instead, I went home, washed my hands (her scent wasn't strong and her taste was almost non-existent, at least at the time), and fingered myself to some sharp yet not totally satisfying conclusions.

I'm not sure what to think. I don't think she was using me, but if she was, what the hell brought it on? If she wasn't, same question. And was it merely a prelude to something which she hasn't figured out yet? I haven't decided exactly how I want to play it either; on the one hand, I'm perfectly okay with bringing up the subject, but on the other, I don't really know what to think. If she'd been awkward with me, that would have been one thing, but she was literally like nothing had happened.

Just further proof that I have an odd life. I'd really like to know if there's a craigslist ad out there saying that at my theater the cute redhead will give you a handy after rehearsal, and if so, what the signals are so I can signal back and cut out the ridiculous hesitancy. And also make sure that people know that I'm easy but I like to get mine too, thanks. And what's up with this woman, of all women, being the first one to take me up on the offer I didn't know I was making?

Current state: Confused, horny

Flash Fiction Friday - Copies

I looked at his handiwork and shrugged. "Fake."

"What? I spent months on this."

"Fake."

He threw up his hands in frustration. "First you tell me to perfect the process, now you tell me they're fake."

I shrugged again. "Do I look like that? Really?" He tried to nod, and I fixed him with a hard stare. "Really?" He admitted defeat. "I'm not saying they aren't physically correct, but come on. A double dose of plastic gloss and those horrible jaded eyes. If I wanted hookers I would have asked for them."

He looked crushed, and I put a hand on his shoulder to reassure him. I still believed he could clone me so I could fuck myself. But these copies were going in the incinerator. Fake. Totally fake.


Tell us how you really feel, Lexi. Did you like the picture?

Why no, thanks for asking invisible audience.

Okay, so I didn't care much for this picture. Those faces were just horrid. I'm not sure the accurate description of the emotion those two women are feeling; constipation, most likely. Or possibly just derision. Either way, it turned me off completely.

And then there's the plastic-fantastic bodies. And the fact that these two are obviously not identical twins. And the total lack of anything sexy about them, apart from their nudity. Honestly, put these two in tennis outfits and tell me they wouldn't look equally non-sexy.

Photographers pose people for pictures. What we see is often not "real" but rather a fake reality that looks real enough. Or gives an impression of reality that the photographer wants to convey. Or just isn't supposed to look real at all. There's an art to taking a portrait of sensuality. I think I've mentioned in the past my feelings on the subject of "reality" in pornography.

Most soft-core porn coming out of the major producers of such things is not art. It's smut. And sometimes it's sexy smut. But often enough it's just smut, and if that gets you off, fine, but it's fake as Hell. Hence, the reason I've never once felt tempted to subscribe to Playboy.

I don't want this to seem like I'm bitter about this, or really even complaining; I'm not. The picture inspired the story, and that's all that is required. I'm not necessarily going to like every picture that comes down the pike. I'm just explaining where my thought process was.

Speaking of thought process, how about destroying clones of yourself because they didn't turn out right. Suicide, murder, or neither? Oooooh, flame war! Honestly, right now I'm thinking of The Prestige. Or Kraken by China Miéville.

In spite of my bitching this week, Flash Fiction Friday is great and you should do it too. Head over there right now; there's still time to put in your entry this week.

TMI Because I Can

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

You Complete Me

With regard to my last post about things one can say which are sexy as Hell, it was brought to my attention that, "You complete me," is romance movie crap, which is true enough. The problem is, that's the way I feel about someone inside me. I feel completed in a way that fingers or tongue or toys just can't match.

I guess that's why I'm not a lesbian. Hell, it's why Mari "condescends" to make love to a man every so often. She doesn't find men attractive at all, isn't romantically interested in them either, and yet she enjoys a good cock now and then.

I'm not that far on the sexuality spectrum; there are guys who definitely turn my crank to look at, and I can be romantic with a man without feeling like something's off. But I am much more viscerally attracted to women. I don't mentally undress most guys, even guys who, on consideration, I'd find definitely attractive. I'm not that picky about guys. And what it boils down to is that I like to fuck guys because they have cocks. And I love cock.

I don't know what it is about being filled up with a penis, versus something which is exactly the same shape as a penis but isn't one. Really, a dildo can get me off perfectly acceptably, and in the hands of someone skilled, a toy is a far better time for me than a random guy off the street who might or might not be any good at using his penis. Many of them aren't. That's not knocking guys though; a lot of women don't know the first thing about how to get me off either, or how to get a guy off, or how to get themselves off. The state of sexual knowledge in the world is deplorable.

But leaving that aside, despite the fact that I am a devotee of lesbian sex in all its wonderful forms, despite the fact that I'd rather watch a woman strip off her clothes in preparation to join me in bed, despite being so completely okay with having sex with a woman that it's not even funny, a cock inside me completes me in a way that a woman can't. I feel bad about that sometimes. Other times, I'm happy because I don't want to limit my options; I'm happy to make love with both sides of the fence, gender-wise (as well as people sitting on the fence, or people who don't believe there's a fence at all, or anyone else who takes my fancy and is willing to give me a try).

That's a magic I can experience again and again, as opposed to some of the other sex magic I've talked about. The insertion of a cock into my pussy is magical. It completes me.

I remember when it was just a general sensation, the first few years of my sexual life. It was a feeling of completeness, but it just sort of flowed over me, like an orgasm used to before I trained myself to experience it more fully. Then, after a while, after I had more experience, penetration became not one but a series of sensations which all added up to completion. The first touch of the glans to my labia, the spreading apart as the initial penetration begins, the shifting as my muscles accommodate his girth, then the fullness as he bottoms out inside me. It's not a question of size, although some shapes are more conducive to certain sensations than others. And it's not necessarily an all-at-once thing; I've had very satisfying sex where it took quite a long time to get to the last step of the process. Completion doesn't have to mean finality either; there are all sorts of sensations after completion that are equally enjoyable.

So that's one take on completing. It's like a hole that has been filled (it's very like that, really, isn't it?). But on the opposite side of the coin, the idea of completion as an end, there are important things too.

I know some men who believe that it's the height of sexual skill to be able to get a woman off and not cum themselves. They deny themselves completion. Now I'm not saying that getting me off without cumming is bad; I'm pretty easy in that regard too. But if a guy never cums, I feel incomplete. I feel like something is missing. I'm not looking for instant ejaculation, but if the purpose of sex is for the woman to cum and the man not to, then something is very wrong.

I like to think that I made my partner orgasm. Obviously, the completion I enjoy best occurs inside me, but I'm really okay with any sort of completion. It's not the point of sex at all; sex isn't a race to orgasm for either party. Sex is completion, I suppose, physical, mental, spiritual, whatever you want. It's two (or more) people completing one another. But orgasms are part of sex. Not the sole aim, but an enjoyable part.

So if I say, "You complete me," I'm not being overly romantic. I really feel that way. Not always, obviously, although even a quickie with a total stranger can give me that physically-complete feeling. But sex is completion. And if that makes me a character in an albeit-twisted rom-com, I'm just going to have to live with that.

Words Words Words

The five sexiest words in the English language:

"I want you inside me."

"Right now!" is entirely optional, but appreciated.

And I say that being a woman, who is much less likely to hear these words than to say them. I'm okay with that. I enjoy saying them.

I wish there were a correspondingly sexy thing for a man to say to me, but "I want to be inside you," while I take it as a compliment in some cases, just isn't the same. It's an imposition rather than an invitation.

You can add a few words, make it, "I want your tongue inside me," and it becomes much more gender- and sexuality-neutral. But wanting someone's tongue inside me isn't the same thing as wanting someone's cock inside me.

There are many different things I have said in the past and will probably continue to say to express my approval of a partner's actions, to signal that I'm open to any and all propositions, to just say, "Hey, nice shoes; wanna fuck?" But, "I want you inside me," is the best one. It's not something I say to just anyone, or in just any situation. It's immediate. It says, "You've got me, any way you want, anywhere you want, just right now please."

And I can't remember the last time I said it to anyone.

Flash Fiction Friday - Magic Box

He made the command word "Tumnus" because he was a cheeky fucker. "Tumnus" he'd say every night as I sat there on the bed, blanket held protectively around me like a lead apron at the dentist's. I guess I was afraid that the magic might spill out somehow.

Night after night, the wardrobe disgorged a plethora of playthings for our lust: blonde, brunette, redhead, all slim and wanton as whores, panting with longing. We used them until dawn, then ushered them, never satisfied, back into the magic box.

But one night, he said "Tumnus" in the low, seductive tone that made me quake, and the same girl, blonde and pale, was standing there as the previous evening.

"I won," she said, the first words any of them had spoken.


I wrote this exactly as it is, apart from one minor change of wording. I'm presenting it as an experiment: you can see what happens right as it happens, rather than after I've polished it. It's as close to live writing as I can get. Maybe it illuminates some of my process. All I know is that it worked out to 129 words exactly, used the phrase, and at that point I stopped.

I avoided the clichés in this one, I guess. I was a bit worried about writing it because the woman on the bed has an extremely distracting ass. I don't always go for satin panties, but those are gorgeous, and perfect for her form.

The pat response, if I were going to write more than one, would probably be that the man has come home to find his wife in bed, disrobed, disheveled, and he hears a noise from the wardrobe, opens it, expecting a man, but surprise surprise. Not much point in writing that for me, because the picture already tells that story. I like to take the exercise as something other than simply writing the picture. Not that there's anything wrong with writing the picture; it's like drawing a landscape. Me, I'm crazy and easily bored, so I only draw landscapes that aren't really there. This picture happened to be narrative already, so I wanted to subvert the narrative, I suppose. Or maybe I'm just contrary.

And now for something completely different:

When I was young, my mother read me all the Chronicles of Narnia, starting with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe rather than in the chronological order some readers seem to fancy. They're fine books. I saw the BBC versions, which everyone criticizes as being low-rent, and enjoyed them immensely. But I avoided the more recent adaptations like the plague for various reasons.

My favorite has always been Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I love a sea story, and exploration and adventure, and I enjoy the hell out of Reepicheep. Plus it has a different feel than the books which precede it; it's all about heading to the endless East, the land of the rising sun. Yes, I know all the Judeo-Christian allegory, but I don't care; I'd like that to be heaven. It reminds me quite a bit of Gandalf's description of what comes after death in The Lord of the Rings.

And yet, while I've seen The Lord of the Rings, I haven't seen the most recent Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie. Part of that is reviews I've read, but part of it is that I don't particularly want a new experience based around that book. I've had my experience with it, and I'm happy with it. That experience didn't involve special effects or big screens, it involved a book and my mother.

I'm not making any decisions here at all; if you liked the new movies, more power to you, and I hope they continue to bring you enjoyment. I'm mostly pondering the somewhat nonsensical nature of experience. Wardrobes and Tumnus just made me think of this.

And now for something more completely different:

Flash Fiction Friday makes me a better writer. I could do it without posting it and it would be less egotistical on my part, but let's not discount the salutary effect praise has on one, although the praise should be tempered with realization that praise will only get you so far. Praise is good for motivation. Practice is good for stamina. And criticism, rough though it may be, is good for cutting away the dead wood. I think Flash Fiction Friday provides a nice balance of all three, and that's why I, as someone with a complete lack of celebrity, endorse it heartily. Flash Fiction Friday: Just Do It!

Pimp My Blog Yo

Ebony Panther has pimped my blog (not in the sense that it sometimes means where you take something frumpy and turn it into something which is either supposed to be fabulous or looks like something Superfly shat out in a moment of desperation, but rather in the sense that he linked to me while saying nice things) so I'm going to pimp him right back.

PIMP!

You'll have to imagine the Batman sound effect.

See, I'm nothing if not circle-jerky. You should go and check out Ebony's blog, because I've followed it practically from the get-go, and even his filler is sexy. And his life is way more exciting than mine. And I don't know that I've ever mentioned him before. So here, I'm mentioning him with capital letters and an exclamation point.
