Early in my sluthood I was overenthusiastic. I'm not a gang-banger by temperament. One man three times a night appeals more to me than three men a night. But excess is probably necessary for a girl to find her sexual balance.
I'm American and was living and working in a small remote country in Africa. I was 35, and only a few weeks before I had quit saving my body for marriage and long term relationships. I'm a successful, well-dressed career woman, bespectacled, big-boobed, and, alas, rather plain in looks and personality. Prissy, I've been called. Little do they know!
It was a party on a hot night in a small apartment. Six men and four women. All the others were Peace Corps volunteers in from their rural homes for a monthly weekend of rest and relaxation in the city. It was tough out there for the PCVs. Sex with the locals was not recommended if you wanted to survive your tour so the volunteers come to town with a lot of pent up emotion. I was probably the oldest person at the party.
This party had no spark. We lounged around the small living room and ate lasagna and drank wine. The spark finally came when two men got into an argument about the Southern Cross -- the constellation. One said you could see it; the other said you couldn't. We went out on the small terrace to settle the argument, turning out all the lights in the apartment to achieve maximum darkness and visibility.
All ten of us stood clustered together and scanned the skies. No Southern Cross. So, in consolation, the losing man gave us a five-minute lecture on the origin of the cosmos while we sweated in the hot tropical night. As we started to go inside, somebody said, "Leave the lights out. Let's dance in the dark."
That sounded like a good idea. We cranked up the stereo and we reeled and rocked around the living room in the darkness, moving from each to another quickly, coming together to feel the sex of your partner, and then sashaying away to find another. The air conditioner labored and failed to keep down the temperature.
