I received an account from what I assume were an American couple called Alice and Isaac. They were raised on a commune, and contact with the outside world had been severely limited. On O-Day, everything they knew was about to change.
***************
Isaac was the older of the two, he had turned 18 seven months prior to Alice. They had always been friends, but in recent months, since Alice had also turned 18, he had wanted to spend more time with her. Their families were aware of this, and tried to keep them apart. Isaac knew he wanted her to be his wife, he just didn't know why. He now describes Alice as very beautiful, although he had no understanding of beauty or attraction at the time. Alice found herself bewildered by his attention, but it made her feel happy, so despite the best efforts of the elders, Alice and Isaac found time to be together.
Their stolen moments together were fuelled with frustration, and neither knew why. On one occasion Isaac had reached out to touch Alice's face. The touch of her skin felt heavenly, yet "The Beast" between his legs stirred, and he fled in terror, horrified that Alice might think ill of him. They each described how any notion of sexuality was suppressed. The traditional idea of "the talk" with parents was discarded, in favour of total ignorance. Alice and Isaac felt the urges, but had absolutely no understanding of their meaning, and had come to associate any sexual arousal with horror. Isaac became obsessed with his penis, and would spend the brief time he spent alone trying to understand the "evil" that would grow between his legs. He loved spending time with Alice, but was aware that The Beast loved her too. Isaac explained that he rarely felt they were alone, as The Beast would always join them.
Alice had no understanding of her sexuality. Her stolen glances at Isaac would make her heart race, and she felt a warmth between her legs the day he touched her face. But any opportunity to discover herself was abruptly halted by the teachings of the commune. Whereas most women would have their eyes opened on a rainy afternoon, humping the corner of an armchair, or through the lure of a shower head, Alice was taught to stop, and concentrate on manual tasks.
On O-Day they had both arisen early to attend to the daily tasks of the commune. By 8am they had been working for three hours, and as planned, an opportunity to spend time together presented itself. Alice, giggling as she scurried into the upper levels of a nearby barn, had managed to smuggle an apple for the two of them to share, a sub-conscious act of intimacy to which neither was aware. Isaac tried to keep talking as the apple passed between them, but The Beast loved feeling her saliva mix with his own. The giggling had a dual effect on Isaac; he was drawn to her beautiful and charismatic smile, whereas The Beast focused on her lips and the gentle movement beneath her dress.
