1. I could tell something was bothering my son Bob the minute he came in through the door. "What's wrong Bob?" I asked.
"Nothing Mom," was his reply.
"What is it? Problems with Carol? You two doing ok?" Carol was Bob's girlfriend. They had been dating for three years, but lately it seemed to me that he was outgrowing her. They were both graduating from high school in a few months and while Bob already struck me as the college type, Carol didn't. It was hard to put a finger on, but she seemed immature.
"Carol? Oh I don't know. I guess. It's hard to talk about."
"What is it Bob? You can tell me."
"Well, sometimes I wonder if she's just not interested in me anymore."
"Why do you say that?"
He took a deep breath. "She won't let me... Ah Mom, this is hard. I'm beginning to wonder if she is still even attracted to me. Be honest. Am I at all good looking?"
"Bob!" You are very handsome," I told him. I wasn't lying either. At 6-2 and 210 pounds of muscle, sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, he was very good looking. "Why in the world would you ask a question like that?"
"Well... Uh... Well...She won't...Hell, all we do is kiss."
I immediately guessed that Carol wasn't giving Bob any sex.
"Listen to me. If Carol doesn't appreciate you, you should find a girl who will. I'll bet there are plenty of girls who would make you very happy. Hey! Your Birthday is Saturday night. Why don't you invite someone new to dinner with us?"
It is a long-standing tradition in our household that the birthday person gets to choose the restaurant for their birthday celebration. My husband Dan and the kids always had fun with it. It was fun to watch the kids' choice change over the years from fast food, to elegant restaurants. Bob hadn't said yet where he wanted to go, but it was his choice for Saturday night. Maybe an elegant restaurant with a new date would help him get out of this funk.
"Oh, I don't know about that. I doubt if you'd even go where I'd like," Bob said.
"Listen Bob. We'll take you anywhere you like. You know that," I said.
"OK then, I'd like to go to BABY's, but I don't think Suzy can get in. You have to be 18," Bob blurted.
"No Suzy? What kind of place is this," I asked.
"It's more of a bar than a restaurant. Hey, It's where I want to go. You asked. I answered. If you won't let me, its no big deal," Bob said. I could tell he was already disappointed.
"Well let me talk to Suzy and Dan but I'm sure it will be ok if you really want to. Would you want to take a date?" I asked.
"No, just you and Dad. Maybe I'll get lucky," Bob answered, smiling.
I got a surprise that night when I talked about the Bob's choice with my husband Dan. "BABY's?" he asked. "That's that new adult club."
"What new adult club? What is it?" I asked.
"Some guys at the office were talking about it. Topless dancers, lap dancing, porn vids, a sex shop, stuff like that. I guess it gets pretty wild."
"Oh my God!" I groaned. No wonder he said Suzy couldn't go.
"Yeah, I'm sure you have to be 18," Dan said. "I can't believe he had the balls to even suggest us taking him there. I'll talk to him."
I sat stunned thinking about it all for a few minutes. "Well, maybe it's just what he needs. I think he's having a problem with sex. He all but told me Carol isn't giving him any. Maybe he's too nervous. Maybe having us there would reinforce that sex is normal and ok. What do you think?"
Bob stared at me. "Well, it's up to you. If you don't mind, I think you're probably right. I imagine it will do him good. The only thing we don't want to do is to go half way with this. If we're going to show him that sex is ok, it's cool, but we can't go in and turn around. That would be worse than saying no up front. If we tell him it's ok, we'll have to stay and enjoy ourselves too, or at least let him have his fun."
"I know," I said. "But it might be fun. We haven't had any really wild times for so long. Well, I must be out of my mind, but I'll talk to Suzy. If she's not too upset to be let out, I'll tell Bob we'll be celebrating at BABY's.
I was very nervous getting dressed that night. I could tell Dan was very turned on by the prospect of this family outing. We had always had a fairly active sex life, but it had grown a bit routine however since we had made the decision to take Bob to BABY's we had had sex every night. We had also started to do some of the things we hadn't done in a long time. We were both pretty wild when we first met and until Bob came along, we had been fairly wild. Since we had agreed to this evening, I was having feelings I thought were gone forever.
As I said, I was nervous getting dressed, but I felt sexy too. I put on a loose low cut knee high sleeveless black dress. I put up my hair and put on more makeup than I had in a long time that gave me a sultry look. I looked in the mirror. "Perfect," I thought. "Not bad for a 38 year old." My workouts had paid off. I looked sexy.
Both Bob and Dan made a fuss as I came down the stairs. "My men," I thought. "This is fucking nuts."
Suzy was also there. "Wow Mom. Sexy!" She didn't have a problem with being left out. She had been giving Bob and her Dad a hard time all week about their night out with the sluts. Plus she had inviting her boyfriend over. She got up from and gave me a hug. "Don't let those bitches out sex you Mom, you look great." When she sat back down, the way her breasts jiggled, I could tell she wasn't wearing a bra. "No, you don't mind being left at home tonight at all," I thought.
"Well, let's go guys," I said. We walked out to the car. Bob held the door open for me. I got in the middle, between Dan and Bob. After about twenty minutes we arrived at BABY's. It was a large pink building with lots of neon. "BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! ADULT ENTERTAINMENT!, XXX SHOPPING!," all screamed in blinking neon. We parked and walked up. Bob opened the door and smiled at me.
We walked in.
2. It was dark in the club and the deep bass rhythm was emanating from the next room. Just inside the entrance was a counter with a very pretty blonde girl behind it. The girl was wearing a black vest that barely contained her breasts. Portions of her aureoles were exposed. Behind her was a drawing of a girl riding a rocket, but the rocket was really half rocket, half penis. On it was the word BABY's. A sign on the counter said: Tonight! In person! Porn Star, SUNNY!" "Hi," the girl said as she stood up, "Welcome to BABY's."
I was taken aback by the drawing, the sign, but mostly by the girl. Bob stepped right up. "Hi," he said, "Got any girls here?"
"The girl gave him a big smile. "Sure do," she said, "hottest girls in town. Friendly too."
Bob turned to me. "Sounds like the place, Mom," he said.
The girl smiled at me. "Mom?" she said. "Far out!"
"Boy," Bob said, "I should get Carol a vest like that."
I looked down and saw that one of the girl's nipples was exposed. She looked down and smiled, then deftly returned it as far as it would go, just hiding it in the vest. "I'm always flashing everyone in this damn thing," she said, "but the guys kinda like it. So what will it be? Visitor's cover for three is thirty dollars."
"What do you think, Dad?" Bob asked.
