A proof of strength she could not publish more,
Unless she said, 'My mind is now turned whore.'
William Shakespere
Troilus and Cressida, Act 5, Scene 2
Let's get this straight right off. I am not a loose woman. Neither am I a slut or a nymphomaniac. Promiscuous, you suggest? Alright, I won't argue with that. A whore? A friend of mine defines a whore as someone who has slept with more than 100 men. I hope to be a whore someday. But I want to be an ethical whore.
What's ethical about being a whore? Well, ethics are simply rules for dealing with other people, right? I have my rules. Here they are:
1) Thou shalt not do anything which might cause harm or pain to thy husband. Robert A. Heinlein defined Love as the condition which exists when another person's happiness in more important than your own. That's how I feel about Don.
2) Thou shalt not have sex with a person who is unable to accept the risks. If they don't know what the risks are, they're immature. If they know, but don't care about them, they're foolish. Either way, they're trouble. If they know the risks, care about them, and are unwilling to accept them, they won't bother with you.
3) Thou shalt not go to bed with people with bad breath. It's likely that other parts will be dirty also.
4) Thou shalt not pursue a man. If he's attractive, I'll let him know I'm available. If he doesn't make an effort to come and get it, it'll wind up that he's got good reasons for passing it by, or he won't be very exciting when he gets there.
5) Thou shalt not have sex with a new lover on the spur of the moment. When you're horny, you'll do anything to get it. So don't.
6) Thou shalt not go to bed with somebody who you don't enjoy being with. Life's too short.
7) Thou shalt not have one-night stands. It's a lot of work to live with these rules; this one is simply about productivity.
8) When the sex starts getting boring, cut off the affair clean. If you leave old lovers lying around, they have a tendency to bite you like a snake.
9) Remember Rule 1.
This story might make a little more sense if I tell you a little of my history. Let me freshen your drink?
~~~~~~~~~~
I 'lost' my virginity as a senior in high school. Even then, I realized that sex was not only something to enjoy, but something that was dangerous, too. Used unwisely, it led to pregnancy, disease and hurt feelings, none of which I wished on me or any of my male or female friends. So I waited until I was fairly sure that it wasn't dangerous. I slept with only one other guy before I graduated.
When I got into college in the late 60's, I realized that sex was less dangerous, as many people didn't take it so seriously. Pregnancy and disease were just as problematic however, so I slept around enough to get a reputation as easy, but not enough to get one as a slut. Getting into my pants was considered by the guys to be a prize, not a rite of passage. And I never, ever, got drunk in a fraternity house!
I continued this tradition until I met Ray two years after graduation. I immediately fell for him; he had that puppy-dog aura, and I guess I needed a pet. We had a fun time for a couple of years, but when he found me in bed with another man, he couldn't take it. Look, it's my fault that the marriage failed. I was too young and wasn't committed enough. I'm just sorry that I hurt Ray so bad. And I'm thankful that we never started the family he wanted.
We got divorced in the bicentennial year, and for the next eight years I had a ball. Sex was free and easy back then, as there were no diseases that couldn't be cured with a shot of penicillin. (Not that I had much to worry about, I had learned to follow rule 3; men that taste nice with their clothes on have a tendency to have clean gonads. I only caught the clap once.) Birth control concerned me. The pill put me through hell with it's side effects and concerns about cancer; all the other methods worked, IF you did everything exactly right; finally, in 1982, realizing that children was the last thing I ever wanted, I had my tubes tied. I dabbled in everything that was outside the norms; group sex, S/M, lesbianism, the works. After awhile, I found out that I was interested in only five things:
Cock in Cunt
Cock in Mouth
Cock in Ass
Man's tongue in Cunt
The various kissing, touching, licking and sucking that lead to the above four.
