I continued my alcohol and sexual abstinence for several months at my punishment posting in Africa. As I explained earlier, I was in deep dudgeon with my employer, the Department of State, for excessive drinking and "additional problems," among which was sex with too many men too often.
It was six months of abstinence before I got a telegram that allowed me to go off the wagon and become again, more discretely this time, a slut. The telegram announced that I had been promoted and, moreover, that I had been recommended for a meritorious award for my excellent work at my new post.
That was a huge relief; my career was back on track again. But, working at that small, isolated, Embassy in an inhospitable African country, it was not easy to rejuvenate my sex life. Available men were few and far between. What a waste! I was at my sexual and physical peak. At 37 years old, I was in the best shape of my life -- a slender 140 pounds on my large 5' 8" frame.
My first sex partner in my resurrected life was Abe. He was a professor and he visited my country for research about a book he was writing. He was forty-five and married, but his wife was in the States. To my way of thinking, infidelity doesn't count if the spouse is more than a thousand miles away.
Abe was a thoroughly funny and likeable person -- but an awful lover. I ran into him at a dull dinner party and lured him to my apartment. I really, really wanted to get laid. Alas, Abe cummed as I tried to put a condom on him. The next night we tried again and he couldn't get an erection. I put his penis in my mouth to encourage it and one lick later I had a mouthful. Our third night together I skipped putting on the condom and Abe attempted to fuck me, but it was the same story. Ejaculation without erection. He cummed, I didn't. You've heard of three strokers? Abe was a one stroker.
Abe was good company, however inadequate as a sex partner. He went back to the States for several months but one day a faint ray of sun peeped out of the cloudy sky of my enforced chastity. Abe was coming to town! He asked me to pick him up at the airport when he arrived.
Well, when it rains it pours. I worked late the night Abe was to arrive. I had a financial report to complete. Everybody had left the Embassy except me and one Marine guard. The Marine usually stayed at Post One near the front door, but he also periodically patrolled the halls of the two story office building.
I was in the Ambassador's office. I needed the space on his floor to spread out the pages of my report, collate them, and staple them together -- this still being the paper era before e-mail. I was kneeling on the floor when the Marine guard came in, greeted me, and sat down on the couch.
I don't look like a slut. I dress professionally. I was wearing a knee length skirt, but in shuffling around the floor on my knees I probably showed the Marine a glimpse of inner thigh and the lacey bra beneath my white blouse allowed the most subtle outline of a pink nipple to show through. The Marine and I talked as I worked and when I finished I extended a hand to him so he could pull me to my feet. He did so, and I found myself in his arms.
