The driver who had met Sherrie on her first and second arrivals at the Christchurch airport was grinning at her as he waited at baggage claim while she made her way through a throng of people, all who seemed intent on being the first to retrieve their luggage.
"Dr. Mathison! So good to see you again!" said the dark-skinned man known only as "Catchy" to Sherrie and who greeted her enthusiastically after her long flight to New Zealand. When she asked the genial man his name on her first research trip, his reply — "Just call me 'Catchy' — was of initial interest as Sherrie wondered if the game he described was also played by the tribe she had come to study. This did not turn out to be the case, and Sherrie tolerated with a smile Catchy's re-tellings of his abilities in the art of catching objects catapulted across great distances.
The university in Auckland which received part of the research funding made the arrangements for Catchy to be her guide and transportation, and Sherrie was happy to depend on them to handle everything that ensured Catchy's assistance on each of her trips.
Catchy had developed an ease of association with Sherrie that she appreciated: not too talkative, always helpful, and always in good spirits. After dropping her off at the edge of the tribe's hunting and fishing boundary, he was always a dependable lifeline back to civilization during her time in some of the most inaccessible reaches of the beautiful island nation.
Catchy retrieved the two suitcases she'd checked, and she trundled behind him with her carry-on bags. It was only a short distance before reaching his serviceable, though well-worn, vehicle.
"You back for another two months, Miss Sherrie?" Catchy asked as they drove away from the airport on the long trip to the hotel where they would stay the night. The next morning they would head out early on the seven-hour drive into increasingly rugged terrain before reaching the remote location where Sherrie would finally be able to finish her research about the tribe.
"Only a month or so this time, Catchy," Sherrie replied, reacquainting herself with the deep blue of the New Zealand sky. "I'm only here long enough to gather information on a couple more things I need to finish my book about the tribe and their customs."
Finishing her research would include participating in the ceremony that had shocked and aroused Dr. Sherrie Mathison when she first witnessed the fascinating tribal ritual. The tribe's women, naked save for the phalluses strapped to their crotches, fondled the reverently presented male genitalia offered up by eager male tribesmen who knew the women would take their pleasure with those hard cocks as a way to ensure good hunting and good fertility.
Cock-fondling, though, was only the prelude. The climax of the ceremony, literally and figuratively, came when the women achieved orgasm as they screwed their lithe, muscular men in the ass, drilling the phallus strapped securely to their crotches repeatedly in and out of the proffered assholes exposed completely when the men reached behind themselves as they laid across the ceremonial altar and spread their cheeks wide. The exposure was a blatant invitation to the women, a request for penetration, a plea to be fucked with abandon until the females, breasts bouncing in time with their thrusts, reached shuddering and breathless release.
Everyone in the tribe had been happy to tell Sherrie that good hunting, fishing, and female fertility were always ensured by the ceremony.
If a lean year ever did come, she wondered, would that put an end to the ceremony that so fascinated and aroused her?
If the erect nipples of the women and the erect cocks of the men were any indication, to say nothing of the clearly evident orgasms both parties always experienced as a result of their reverent yet exuberant ceremony, Sherrie suspected the man-fucking would continue whether times were lean or abundant.
The virginal tribal girls who tipped the urn of lubricant at the top of the men's splayed-open furrows would watch intently as the strapon-wielding women lined up their fake cocks and then pressed insistently inside while the men squirmed and moaned underneath them.
Those demonstrations for the benefit of adolescent girls would have to continue, the anthropologist in Sherrie realized. The cultural and religious significance of the ceremony would demand it — again, in good years or in bad.
Oh, god — that first time! thought Sherrie whenever she remembered her initial viewing of the ceremony.
It had shocked her, aroused her intensely, and caused her pussy to lubricate immediately when she watched what the tribe's women did as they took obvious and intense pleasure in fucking the naked men before them. And it was clear the men were aroused just as intensely.
Their stiff cocks, bobbing between their legs as they pushed back onto the fake cocks sliding into their backsides, were clear testimony to the sexual pleasure they were taking as the receivers of their women's vigorous thrusts. The men's unbridled moans and throaty groans of pleasure were incredibly sexy sounds to Sherrie's Western-society ears, and remembering those male sounds of sexual urgency never failed to harden her nipples and moisten her pussy. When she added the memory of the women's promptings as they urged their partners toward climax, Sherrie was inevitably and almost completely distracted from anything other than a building desire to masturbate to climax, imagining herself strapped into a dildo and pushing it deep inside a naked man's upthrust and willingly displayed asshole.
There had been one or two very nearly embarrassing situations at boring college meetings after her return trip from New Zealand and back to the university to teach classes for a semester before finishing her research with the tribe on this trip. As the Chair of her department droned away about something infinitely less engaging than the sounds and pictures replaying themselves in Sherrie's mind, her daydreaming about the tribal ceremony had sometimes caused her trouble:
"Dr. Mathison? Did you hear the question?"
"Oh . . . sorry, Dr. Jones. I apologize that I was thinking about how to handle a student situation in my 207 section. Would you repeat your question, and I'll get my thoughts redirected to where they should be right now."
Sherrie offered an apologetic smile, tipped her head in submissive acknowledgment and glanced down in a well-practiced move that could buy her a better shot at forgiveness in the male-dominated world of departmental politics. And she really did try to refocus.
Is the man still looking at me? she thought, though, worried that maybe the bra and blouse she was wearing weren't sufficient to hide the taut nipples that were stubbornly perked up as a result of her daydream.
She had been thinking about what it would feel like when she grabbed the hips of one of the tribe's men and buried her strapon cock deep inside his asshole.
Sherrie somehow managed to last through that interminable semester, all the while fretting about how to become good enough at fucking a man with a strapon so that her final visit to the tribe would earn her entry into the women's confidence.
Why did seeing that have such an effect on me? she wondered. What deeply buried female desire did these highly spiritual yet joyfully spontaneous indigenous people tap into when I saw it for the first time?
