Part 1 "Gee Spot Run"
I seem to get into the darndest situations.
It all began a couple of weeks ago, when I was jogging in the park and ran across my neighbor, Jane, as she was strolling on the wooded trails. I slowed down to her leisurely pace, and tried to strike up a conversation as I caught my breath from my vigorous workout.
She and I have been friends in a sort of light and social way, but the discussions that we've had have been mostly about the weather, the neighborhood, politics, and the like. Nothing that cuts through the layers of social veneer that shroud our deeper thoughts and feelings; the layers that make us feel both safe and lifeless.
But today, Jane didn't seem up for the usual small talk, so for a while we walked together in silence, enjoying the crisp air of early winter. She was shy, and I knew from visiting her home that she and her husband Dick were fairly straight-laced, with a decidedly religious bent. They were always talking about how inspiring Jerry Falwell was, and a few years ago, they had knocked on my door to distribute "Pat Robertson for President" literature.
Eventually, I began to ask questions that steered the subject matter around to what was on her mind. She didn't seem too comfortable with this line of talk, but at the same time, she didn't shut down and pull away. It was clear to me that there were things that she needed to say, but it was unfamiliar territory for her.
I tried to give her the space to let it out at its own pace, and I was genuinely supportive about the problems that she eventually blurted out. We talked and walked for well over an hour, and to put in a nutshell, she was bored and repressed. Her thoughts and feelings weren't in exact correspondence with the traditions and teachings of her family and her church, and she now felt trapped and helpless.
Of course, knowing me as many of you readers do, you can probably guess that I wanted to know about their sex lives. It took a lot of subtle prodding, and a lot of blushing on her part, but eventually we got around to the heart of the matter, which was that her husband's idea of sex was a once-a-month, tab-A-in-slot-B, lights-off session that had no spice, no feeling, and no tenderness. For Jane, there was no orgasm. She had resorted to an occasional masturbation, but she felt dirty and sneaky about it, so that wasn't making her happy either. In fact, the whole situation was making her feel distant from her husband, and ashamed that it was all her fault.
I know that this all sounds like a classic, stereotypical situation, but here was a real woman who was suffering through anxieties that felt familiar and sad to me. So after hearing her out, I took the risk of revealing some stuff about myself, things that I normally only talk about anonymously through the Internet, or with my trusted lovers. I told her about my fascination with erotica, and that I wrote stories based on my wildest fantasies, which I posted on the 'Net for all to read. She had heard of the sex story newsgroups. They had been reviled at length in her church group. So Jane was amazed that she was now talking to an active participant in such an illicit activity, and that a woman could be involved. A woman who was that "nice lady down the street," as she put it.
After getting over her shock, she stammered, "What kind of things do you write about, Susan?" It was really a struggle for her to ask, and her face was inflamed with a scarlet blush.
I didn't want to scandalize her too much, so I just answered, "Well, I write about things that are kinky and graphic, but that I don't get into stuff that involves pain and humiliation. It's really all for fun; a way to explore my own flowering sexuality in a full and safe way."
Now Jane's embarrassment was abating, and she asked more and more detailed questions, so that eventually, I offered to lend her the printouts of some of my stories. At that point, we were back to the parking lot of the park, so we both drove over to my house, where I handed over some printouts for a couple of my more tame erotic stories. The one on the top was "Craftsmanship." She handled the white papers as if they were covered with germs.
I suggested, "Maybe you're not ready for this kind of stuff, Jane," and reached to retrieve the printouts.
She pulled them farther away from me, saying, "No, please. I really want to read them."
Still, I was worried about what the impact of my stories would be on her fragile psyche, so I recommended, "OK. Then why not sit and read for a bit to see if you really want to take these home with you."
Jane seemed to be in kind of in a daze, so I took her hand and led her into the den where she could sit and relax in the wing-back chair there. "You look over the stories here with some privacy while I go and shower off after my run." My jogging had left me coated with stale sweat, and I didn't think that Jane needed someone looking over her shoulder just then anyway.
It felt so good to let the spray of scalding hot water blast onto my shoulders and back. Acting as Jane's mentor in her attempt to break out of her marital jail was making me tense, so I just stood under the shower for 10 or 15 minutes. I let my hands trace lazy circles over my breasts, my tummy, my thighs, and occasionally over the sparsely-furred mound of my cunt. But I resisted the temptation to slide my finger into the furrow between my vulva. I wanted to keep my focus on Jane and her problems, not become absorbed in releasing my own sexual tension.
Finally, I stepped out of the shower, and toweled myself off briskly. I wrapped my sopping hair into a towel turban, and covered the rest of my pink body in the wonderful polar fleece bathrobe that I had been given for Christmas by my new friends at Victoria's Secret.
