FIONA COMES OF AGE
By Jacqueline1608
I grew up in Riebeek Kasteel. If you use a magnifying glass, you could find it on a large-scale map, if you know more or less where to look. It is between
dingus
and
whatsisname.
I was conceived towards the end of my mother's professional career in Cape Town. By then she had accumulated enough of the green stuff to retire to the
platteland.
She continued with her profession on a more leisurely scale, entertaining the pillars of society such as the mayor, the
dominee
, the pastor of a house church in Riebeek West, and a couple of well-heeled farmers and businessmen who appreciated her very special service.
We moved from Gardens in Cape Town to the fair town of R.K. when I was ten years old to 'retire' she said, adding, 'I've seen quite a lot of blue sky in my life, now I'm going to enjoy the scenery.' Naturally I asked about the sky, and she answered, 'That's all you get to see when you lie on your back, dearie.' Then she used to tell the story of the honeymoon couple who went to a Drakensberg resort for the happy time. The bride's mother phoned after a week and asked, 'How do you like the mountains?' The daughter asked, 'Are there mountains here?'
Now my mom had always been sort of protective towards me. When I turned eighteen, she said, 'Fiona, honey, there's honey and money in your cunny. Let the boys touch and lick it, but don't let them dip their wick in the comb just yet. I know in bygone days girls your age were already nursing babies, but their life expectancy was maybe thirty or forty, and many young ones died giving birth, which is why they tried to get in as many fucks as possible. You stay your hand a bit and you can enjoy your fucks and still do so in your old age.'
It was about then that she explained some more great values to me. Grandma worked the docks and would drains balls all night and sleep all day, large turnover and small profits, corroded by regular visits to the medic to keep her healthy and functional. Mom set her sights higher. She went on and did her matric and then did an on-line course as private secretary. Her chance came at a big ball the boss of their firm gave to a number of businessmen and -women he wanted to impress. Mom danced the MD of a big corporation into her bedroom; he set her up in the nice flat in Gardens to be handy when he flies in from Joh'burg once a month. She continued working as an executive secretary for a couple more years, giving blowjobs and fucks as and when required for advancement, by which time she had a dozen regular clients and then 'turned professional'.
She explained that to me. 'You see, honey, gran'ma was a common whore. Nothing wrong with it. Prostitution is, after all, the oldest profession in the world, but in most cases it deteriorated into hard fucking labour. Girls were reduced to fucking machines, like worker ants slaving away for a fat queen - the madam or the pimp - with no joy in life. You snatch drinks, eats and slumbers in between spreading your legs for a semen pump. That's no life! That's barely an existence! I decided to be a professional prostitute, a call-girl with a fixed clientele.
'Now let me explain something else. A common streetwalker cannot afford to enjoy her sex because an orgasm saps your energy, which is why whores are told not to climax. That became the hallmark of a whore: she does not climax, but she is allowed to fake it should she judge that the client would like it. It's a bit of psychology, I reckon. The guy can't get it right with his missus, so he has an inferiority complex when he goes to a whore; she makes a big production out of it and the prick goes away with the idea that he is Don Juan. It may even benefit his wife, so there could be a double positive spinoff.
'The professional prostitute goes for quality, not quantity. It's the difference between selling hundreds of cheap shirts from Taiwan at a small profit, or tailormade suits from Kiton or Caruso in Italy with a large profit on each sale. She knows her customer and she is tailormade for him. It makes him feel good. Remember, his life is full of stress, he has to battle to get through the traffic to his office every day; he gets home and he's tired and his performance in bed is below par; his batting average drops and he starts to think that his libido has emigrated to the North Pole. He starts fucking around for reassurance, principally because eating stolen fruit tastes better than those come by honestly. His wife starts looking elsewhere for her sex satisfaction and now her performance with him deteriorates; that coolness is the paving to the divorce court.
'Now you take him in hand. You don't fuck him the moment you meet! No, you start chatting to him. An uptight man cannot enjoy a good fuck, so you get him to relax. Give him a tot of his favourite drink. Loosen his tie, take off his shoes, massage his feet. Chat. A man is but a boy at heart and likes to be pampered. Find out his tastes in clothes, music and sport, and only then you start on what he likes in women, what turns him on, what gives him maximum satisfaction. You may only fuck him once during the evening, or three times during the night, but you make every one of them special. There is only one way to do that, dearie, and that is by entering into his life and into his fantasy wholeheartedly. For you he becomes Prince Charming, and you become his Cinderella or Snow White or Alice in Wonderland or whatever his fantasy demands. And you
enjoy
that sex. Your orgasms are all for real. That is the mark of a true professional, who
thoroughly
enjoys what he or she does every single day of their lives. He can only really enjoy it if you enjoy it too. A Taiwan shirt looks no different on you than on the clothes hanger, but you
fill out
a tailormade Italian suit: it's neat hanging in the cupboard, but you give it life. When he shoves his dick into your pussy, he steps into a tailormade suit. And that is the difference.'
It was good advice.
The gossipers of Riebeek Kasteel had a field day with us. Mom was shunned in public as the 'town whore' - that word spread after the
dominee
preached against harlotry, just before he fucked my mom. The schoolboys all tried their luck on me, so I petted, but I always drew the line at screwing. I learnt a lot in my junior matric year - that was just after I had turned eighteen, because I had failed the previous year. One boy paid ten Rand to watch me piss; the next time he paid twenty so I would piss on him. Poor kid. His dad always made him feel like shit, so he stole the money - that was his weird revenge!
I talked to mom about it and she said, 'That's human nature, honey. The dog returns to its own vomit. He goes through that shit and the humiliation for the sake of feeling good at the end. As far as I could gather, people like that have a lot of stress in their lives, which makes them revert to childhood with its punishment, which is often worse than what he currently goes through. It's a catharsis. It's very much like the guy in the madhouse who kept hammering his head against the wall. When they asked him why he does it, he said it's so nice when he stops.'
Then there was the town under-21 rugby captain who was on steroids and couldn't get a boner. Fortunately mom heard him raving and kicked his arse. She told him straight. 'You want Fiona to toss you, then drop that steroid shit. You can't have both.' As it turned out, he was gay, so he found his sex niche, which was fine.
Of course there were those who snubbed me, especially the religious freaks, because Mom and I didn't belong to any church. One of those Jesus kids fell pregnant through fucking ignorance, which goes to show that not even Jesus can kill the instinct to fuck.
But to come to my story.
The mayor of the town had a sailboat which he glorified by the name of a Bermuda yacht and which was kept at the northern end of the VoΓ«lvlei Dam, about 40 km away. It had a small cabin towards the stern which served as lounge and 'stateroom', with a tiny bathroom next to the cockpit. One of mom's perks in fucking him was that she could use the boat from time to time to give a customer a good rock. It always made her nostalgic, she said, fucking on a boat because of all the semen she'd collected from he-men.
It was a month after I had turned eighteen when she went to stay on the boat for a few days while she was feeling a bit down, and I dropped out of school for the same few days to nurse her. The Tuesday evening - Mom was in the cabin and I was sitting on the boom, swinging myself back and forth - I heard someone walking on the wooden jetty. There was a new moon, hence it was quite dark, except for the lamps along the side of the jetty. The person stopped at our gangplank and tried to read the name of the boat, but couldn't do so in the dark, so he called. 'Is this the
Celeste
?'
I answer, 'Yes!'
'Can I come aboard?'
