SOCIAL EXPERIMENT
by Musings of Pan
I was a senior at State University. While most of the kids had active social lives, I did not. I had to spend all my time on school work and two part time jobs to try to graduate without a huge debt that I would be paying on for the rest of my life. So I kept working, knowing that this was the last year.
It was early in the second quarter when I had a few minutes to kill before my next class so l was reading the notices on the bulletin board. Mostly club meetings, a coming dance that I had no time for and no one to take, someone looking for a ride home, etc. Then I saw a notice that was different - just a small typed sheet. I don't know why it caught my eye. It said:
"Department of Sociology
Looking for students to participate in an erotic experiment. Must be over 18 years old. If interested contact Mrs. Griffin at xxx-xxxx"
I thought this might be something to do that would liven up my life a bit without the time and maintenance required to have a girlfriend so I wrote down the number. Later that day I called to find out more about this experiment.
The phone was answered by a woman saying, "Human Sexuality Studies, Ms. Griffin's office." I explained that I had seen the notice asking for participants in an experiment and wanted more information. After taking my name, phone number and email address she explained that this isΒ a follow up study based on the work done by William Masters and Virginia Johnson in which they first asked strangers to kiss each other and later asked strangers to undress each other. She asked if I was comfortable being nude with someone I did not know while being recorded and then she asked if I was attracted to men or women. I replied yes and women. Finally she gave me the place and time which was Wednesday next week.
Fortunately the date being a week away, I was able to swap shifts for my job at the pizza place to be available. The next Wednesday after a shower I arrived at the sociology building, room 304 just before 7:00 PM. It seemed like walking into any other college class. I counted seven guys including me and nine girls.
An older woman entered the room and introduced herself as Ms. Griffin. She started by asking who had looked up the Masters and Johnson undress me video on the Internet. All hands went up. Then she explained that she is studying human sexuality by expanding on the undress me study. This study will start in the same way as we will be paired with someone we do not know and asked to undress each other but not stop with underwear. Also, after undressing we will spend thirty minutes doing whatever we both agree on. All sessions will be recorded on camera but the videos will be used for scientific purposes only and not released to the public.Β She then said that anyone who does not want to participate should leave now.
There were a few minutes of silence and some giggles while we all looked around but no one left. Ms. Griffin smiled and said she was glad we were all game to do this. She then asked the girls to follow her and led them out through a side door. Several minutes of anticipation followed until she returned and asked us to follow.
We were led into a hallway with a series of doors each labeled with a letter of the alphabet. Ms. Griffin started calling out our first names and a door letter. I got D. We went to our assigned rooms and entered.
The room I entered was small and contained only a table and a double bed. Sitting on the bed was a very nice looking girl with shoulder length dark hair wearing a green button front shirt and tan slacks. She smiled nervously and I am sure I did the same. "Hi, I'm Jeff," I said. "I'm Megan." She responded.
After a somewhat uncomfortable moment I told her I was pleased that I drew such a good looking girl and asked if she was ready. She quietly said yes. I told her that if at any time she wanted to stop just say so.
I said since there were no instructions on how to proceed I suggest that one of us takes something off the other and then that one takes the same thing off the first. She nodded so I asked if she wanted to go first. She said no, she wanted me to start.
I smiled, then bent down and kissed her on the mouth. She returned the kiss. I sat on the floor in front of her, picked up one foot and started removing her shoe. I took off both shoes and socks. I figured they all went together and she did not object. Then I spent a few moments massaging one foot and then the next. I rose and kissed her lips again.
Megan said, "That was very nice." She then leaned in and kissed me with some passion. As I had done she sat on the floor in front of me and took off my shoes and socks. She stroked each foot, rose and kissed me.
"I am liking this" I said.
