Harry was sincerely proud of "our achievement," as he called it. He saw the long journey we had taken and "the revolution" we were living with our friends as something that could not have happened were it not for our initiative to establish contact with Paul.
He often nodded pensively, saying, "This is good because we all feel good and now live better." He had now adopted as a life mission "the spreading of pleasure and the prevention of pain."
"In everything we do," he said, "we must seek to cause pleasure to others -- even with just a simple smile or a kind word." And he did take his philosophy seriously, to the smallest of actions. Once, in a crowded metro car, he accidently pressed his elbow against the large bosoms of a young black woman. He was about to lower his elbow when he realized that the woman was willingly pressing it against his elbow and was enjoying it. So he didn't move his elbow and looked the other way. The woman kept rubbing against his elbow in subtle but applied movements and was whispering softly to herself, "honey bunch, honey bunch." This went on for minutes. When Harry's stop finally came, he reluctantly lowered his elbow, stole a glance at the woman's face, and stepped out. She was smiling and her eyes were red. "Thank you," she said in a whisper. Harry smiled back, said, "You're welcome," and hurried off the train.
"Of all the things I have done in my life," Harry declared, "that one little interaction is something I will not forget."
Now, every month or so, on a Saturday, we organize a party at our house where all seven couples get together for a long day of "friendly sensual celebration." In these parties, Paul and Kang stayed away intentionally. They had agreed after a long meeting between themselves that it was important for us to be able to explore each other without supervision. "We have done our duty as mentors," Kang explained to us when she made the announcement, "and now it's time for you to tackle the world on your own."
We all agreed that Paul and Kang were right. Kang now commanded as much respect from the men as Paul did. And when she called on them requesting that they give her an hour or two of their time, they always readily agreed and hurried to her house to "fulfill their sacred duty."
"Her pussy is on a whole different level," Harry told me once after one of his sessions with her. "It smells different from yours: acrid and yet not harsh. The lips are thick and puffy and hardened. You can see from the first glance that it had worked very hard all these long years. It's powerful. It squeezes your penis tightly and wants to strangle it, almost, so that I had to stop and wait for it to relax again.... To be honest with you, I was scared, the first time it happened... I had six of those that night.... And every time it happened, she opened her eyes wide and stared at me straight in the face, trying to fully understand how I was feeling. That's why she loves sex so much...."
During our parties, we usually stripped naked, leaving on us only socks and stockings, and walked around chatting and munching on our catered Hors D'oeuvres. There was plenty of food and drink, and the music -- always classical Chinese -- was soft and soothing. At the start of the party, none of the men would have an erection. But as the day progressed and the conversations flowed, one of the men -- usually it was Wen -- would start tugging at his penis and fondling his balls. At which point, as if reminded that they could do the same, the other men would begin to play with their cocks, each in his own way. Xun liked to hold it with one hand and slap it on the palm of his other hand, frowning severely as he did so; Huang Fu on the other hand liked to hold both his balls and his penis with one firm grip and then squeezed them regularly; Kevin liked to focus on the head of his penis and rub it with his thumb; Zhong liked to spit on his penis and to make exaggerated faces as he pumped himself; Gao loved to hit his penis against his thigh, smiling and laughing as he did; and Harry of course liked to hold his penis firmly, squeezing it and spitting at it once in a while.
Then, suddenly, I would look around and all of the men would have a strong, steady erection. Not long after that, Wen would begin to masturbate in earnest, standing in the middle of the room, pumping his penis and spitting in his hand, while the other men cheered him on. Then the shouting would begin, signaling the start of the sexual orgy.
It would always start with Wen shouting, "This is normal! This is natural!"
Then Xun would shout out an instruction, directing it to his wife Bao and pointing at Wen, "Smell his balls, smell his balls! They are sweaty, smell them! Do it immediately, do not postpone, do not postpone."
Then Bao would bend on her knees and begin smelling Wen's balls. Then she would say, "I like smelling balls. I like to smell them! That is the truth. They smell so manly. He is a male, a male!"
As we all circled him and Bao smelled his balls, Wen was almost oblivious to us all, his eyes fully focused on his penis. The men would then start sniffing and eyeing the ladies around them with strong, meaningful stares, almost glaring at the pussies, asses and breasts that surrounded them. Gao at that point usually would begin to sniff at our asses, one by one, gently parting the cheeks of our buttocks and taking a loud, deep breath as he touched our anus with his nose.
"The smell of ass!" he would shout, "the smell of ass!"
The clapping and cheering would then get louder and more aggressive as Wen picked up his masturbation rhythm, his face red and contorted with intensity. After a few minutes of spitting and pumping, Wen would stop, grip his penis with both hands, and fold in two as three or four sharp spurts of semen would shoot out of his cock.
"I love my cock! Porn! Porn! I am a lover of pornography," Wen would whisper with pleasure.
Indeed, our orgies were becoming far more than mere sexual engagements: they were full confessionals, where everyone -- but especially the husbands -- shouted their most intimate thoughts and feelings without any fear of being judged in any way. And we, the wives, watched our husbands with quiet happiness at their liberation. We knew it was good for their mental wellbeing to bottle up nothing within them.
As he relaxed on the sofa after his orgasm, Wen would turn to one of the men near him and quietly tell him, "You need to fuck my wife. Please help yourself. She is here. She is available!"
This was the ritual that we had adopted. Wen masturbates and ejaculates, then opens the coitus part of the festivities by offering his own wife to one of the men.
And so we would all cheer and Yun, his wife, would go up to her husband and caress his back, asking him if he was all right. Wen would nod but would say nothing, and then would turn again to the man and say with a deep voice: "Prepare your penis, my brother. You need to fornicate with my wife at once. It is your duty."
The other husband would nod with a solemn look on his face, kiss Wen's hand, and then would grip his own penis tightly in his hand and gently grab Yun by the arm and take her to the love seat. At which point, we would open the circle to let Wen watch as the man penetrated Yun.
And as the man would begin to penetrate her, Wen would shout out in mock indignation, shaking his head, "Do you realize that you are fornicating with my wife! Do you realize what you are doing, Yun? Allowing another man to penetrate you? This is progress! This a great leap forward!"
At which point, the full orgy would commence in earnest. And then all manners of shouts would be heard.
"The twat, the twat -- the shaved twat! What an animal! Smell it, smell it! It's quivering!"
"We are bothers! We are brothers!" another would shout.
"Sexuality, sexuality, human sexuality!" one of the wives would shout in formal Chinese. Another one would say, "Comfort each other, comfort each other!" or, "Long life and good friendship!" or, "The humanity! The humanity!" I even heard a man yell out, "Bad breath! Bad breath! I love bad breath!"
