This is a long story of mine that I've been working on for quite some time now. If you spend the time to read the whole thing, please leave a comment or at least rate it. Enjoy.
"So Doc, ahh crazy question - is it possible to be um, like, addicted to a person?" It was a crazy question and Tom was somewhat embarrassed by even asking it, but it was a question that he had been wondering about for days now.
The doctor, actually a psychologist, was a bespectacled balding man in his fifties, who had heard a whole lot of crazier things in his twenty odd years of practice. He was aware that Tom was serious and he needed more information before he could give an answer. "Do you think that you are addicted to a person Mr. Jensen?"
Tom took a deep breath and scratched his forehead before answering "Well, there's this girl that I kinda like, I guess, but I like lots of girls if you know what I mean." He glanced up at the doctor who was writing something on his clipboard, then continued. "I mean, I kinda play the field right now, you know, I'm not really ready to settle down just yet. But then there's this girl who is hot, and I went out with her a few times, and it was good you know, but it was just like any other time and any other girl. She was just a... a distraction I guess. You know she was fun and all, but not any more than that." He stopped to think about what else to say because the rest was tricky.
The doctor looked up and adjusted his glasses "Go on Mr. Jensen, you're doing fine."
Another sigh and then "Well, we went out like, maybe three times and I was still seeing other girls. She knew that too. I told her that I wasn't exclusive with her from the beginning, it wasn't like I was hiding it you know. And then, one night, she calls me out of the blue and says she wants to see me. Actually she told me that she wanted sex. It wasn't the first time we had sex either. So I went over and, like one thing leads to another you know and we get undressed and she, like pulls my face down to her... you know."
"She wanted you to perform oral sex on her." the good doctor finished for him.
"Yeah that's it. So like I go down there and I smell her... and it's like there's something about her smell. It's not normal, but not in a bad way or anything. It was like I couldn't get enough of her smell, and she kept encouraging me to. 'Keep smelling me' she says and 'that's it, breathe it all in'. It's like she knew something, but at the time I didn't realize anything was wrong. I just kept smelling her scent and it was like heaven." He glanced up at the doctor and realized that he was listening intently this time, not writing anymore.
"Can you describe what you felt as you were smelling her?"
"I really didn't think so at the time but later when I thought about it I realized that I felt... almost high. Like I was intoxicated by her odor. The weirdest part of this is that I keep having these cravings now. I can't stay away from her for more than a day or I have... withdrawals."
The doctor adjusted himself in his chair, as if he had become uncomfortable, and asked his next question. "Can you explain what you mean by 'withdrawals'?"
"Well, I haven't gotten sick or anything, but I get really tense and I can't think clearly. All I can think about is getting back between her legs and smelling her and licking her. Even when I'm with another woman, we could be having sex and I could be eating her pussy" he paused when he realized how crudely he just spoke and looked to see if he had offended the doctor. There was no discernible difference in his demeanor so Tom continued "Sorry, I could be performing oral sex and I'm still thinking about how quickly I can get out of there to go see Ka- the other girl. It's bizarre."
"What about your job, has that suffered at all?" The doctor inquired.
Another deep breath from Tom and then "Yeah, I think about her at work all the time. My boss has noticed that I haven't been myself and was asking me what was going on. I told him that I have some personal issues that I'm dealing with. Doc, it's affecting every aspect of my life lately. If I go more than one day without seeing her, without smelling her, I can't sleep, I can't function, and I'm afraid that it's getting worse."
"When was the last time you was with her?"
"I went to her place last night around eight o'clock and every night I feel the need to go over earlier. Just a few days ago I could hold out until ten P.M. And when I go to her place, even when I just pop in without calling, she's expecting me, like she knows I'm going to show up."
The good doctor sat for about twenty seconds thinking about what he had been told then gave his perspective "Well, to be honest Mr. Jensen, you can't become addicted to a person's smell; however, the juices that an aroused female produces from her vagina can be quite an aphrodisiac to a heterosexual man, and may create the feelings that are similar in fashion to an addiction. It seems to me though that your reaction is much more intense than normal. It has affected all aspects of your life and that is not a good thing. Not to belittle you Mr. Jensen, but I believe that what you are experiencing is all in your head. Perhaps your feelings for this young lady are deeper than what you are willing to admit. Love works in strange ways you know."
"I'm NOT in love with her, if that's what you think. She's cute and all, but she's not really my type."
