It was late and most everyone had turned in for the night. I was in the living room of a big house that hosted a music night every Friday. It had been a good turn out and everyone had consumed their fair share of beer, marijuana, and usually nothing more than that. The aging house had lots of rooms. One family lived there but the home, being in an intentional community, was intended to have open rooms for guests as well so people lingering and sleeping over after a night of imbibing was nothing new. I had resigned myself to sleeping on the couch that night. I wandered outside onto the deck to enjoy a little tobacco before settling in. I was single at the time, in good shape, and as always, my mind had wandered to the thought of women.
I have always been horny and hopeful but tonight it didn't look like there was much opportunity to find some late night loving. Oh well, that's the way it goes, or so I thought. I took a drag on my cigarette as I watched the mid summer moon through the misty valley. I inhaled deeply and as I let the smoke filter out of my mouth and nose. I reached down and rubbed the expanding bulge in my pants. I imagined it was a woman touching my penis, she lingered on the heat of it, feeling it grow beneath her subtle touch. I drifted from the fantasy, put out my cigarette and went inside to lay down.
To my surprise, I saw a woman, a woman I knew. I thought that she had left earlier but alas it was not so. Her name was Debbie and I never had found her to be very attractive, though not ugly. She was awkward in fact, kind of an asshole as if she had a huge chip on her shoulder. She seemed angry at men. She had laid down on another couch across the room. As I took up my position and settled myself beneath my borrowed blanket, I heard her mutter something I could hardly make out. "I think I'm a lesbian." she said.
I was not sure how to respond but ended up replying, "What makes you think that?"
"I'm tired of men, they're all the same and I like the softness and feel of a woman."
I agreed with her sentiments and told her as much. I told her that I too enjoyed the softness and feel of a woman. I also told her it was foolish to lump all men in the same category, that there were always exceptions and that to live by hardened sentiments usually only closed doors. She sighed at my suggestions.
Debbie was somewhat of a hippy. She had a slight masculine air to her. She stood about five foot nine, with dark thin hair that she wore below her shoulders. She was a belly dancer and I had seen her many times in her outfit, which was rather intriguing and probably her best look. She had a slightly large nose, a big mouth with prominent teeth, which wasn't ugly but also wasn't the sexiest mouth I had ever seen. She was a natural woman with thick dark hair growing from her armpits, her legs were covered with a light blanket of soft brown hair. I had never seen her pubic region but imagined she sported a fully grown layer of fur there as well. She had small breasts and though I'd never seen them uncovered, my mind imagined they were a bit saggy from how she looked in her outfit. They didn't push her top, they offered no resistance. I also had surmised her breasts were a bit empty as she had breastfed two young boys for at least three years each. Debbie was erratic, seemed a wee bit angry and felt emotionally pent up. I could feel her resentment for me as she continued.
"You're probably just the same. Just another man out for himself. You probably think I want you, but I don't. I'm content over here lying down, staying to myself, I can please myself, and I do have a woman I like to see."
I was a little stunned by her words. I had never considered her sexually but I am a fan of strange encounters and conversations and of pushing the envelope a little. I found it interesting to be stuck in this room with her, late at night, after beer and weed, after her incessant belly dancing and quasi orgasmic shaking to the rhythms which had shook the house earlier. My mind began to wander.
"I'm a good man,'' I replied. You're foolish to assume I'm not. And it is interesting that you would even bring up the fact that I may or may not want you. I hadn't gotten that far yet."
"Well, that's a sexist answer. I would have assumed nothing less."
