Part 3 Fertility Clinic: The Harvest
During my tenure as an intern at the Western Avenue Fertility Clinic, my husband Jerry insisted on a nightly report of my activities there, with keen interest in the mechanics of the extraction devices that drew seminal fluid from male donors. We'd sit on the edge bed, legs dangling off. Jerry in his undershorts; me either in pj bottoms or in panties and Jerry's T shirt of the day. Tonight, I wore loose, soft, thin pj bottoms.
"I've been on the cleaning crew," I reminded him, "I keep the environment clinically sterile so that the samples harvested from the men aren't corrupted by harmful bacteria. Despite the hi-tech mechanics of the hitching post which produce the warmth and pulsations of a vagina, harvesting the semen is a natural process. But I'm puzzled."
"Puzzled," Jerry looked confused, "are you more concerned that I'm jealous or that I might like to prefer mechanical extraction to a natural emission?"
I threw the pillow in Jerry's face. "I'm puzzled you are more interested in hearing about harvesting the semen from the male donors in the facility than the women."
"Just checking the competition," Jerry smiled.
"Then it might interest you that, Dr Velour the director of the facility," I paused and smiled, "wants to move me up to Nurse's Assistant to broaden my experience as an intern and to bring me into direct involvement in the harvesting process. It's more money."
"We can always use that," Jerry pressed in closer.
"But I have to master a book," I thought of reaching for the book under my pillow, but hesitated. I bit my lip enticingly, "Maybe you should be jealous of taking a role in harvesting."
"Jealousy?" Jerry questioned. "Is that why you won't sneak me in? Are you afraid that I'll be a star donor, well sought after for his seed?"
Imagining Jerry's body hugging a hitching post at the Fertility Clinic going spasmatic as his man juice was drawn off, I wondered whether he'd become so addicted to mechanical release that recreational intercourse would become boring. "Am I afraid that you'll enjoy hitched to a post for harvest of sperm, induced to fantasize, and gyrated until your flow of spud is exhausted?" I challenged Jerry.
Why were we looking at each other, hearts beating and breaths drawn in synch? I wondered, unless we were being instinctively readied to struggle in the sheets for the upper berth.
A sparkling magnetism filled the air; my skin tingled, but neither Jerry nor I moved. When nothing happened, I continued, "The new job may lead to a permanent position. However, it requires some anatomical study and," I paused with a smile, "hands on training. Would you like a demonstration?"
Jerry leaned over ready to flip me face down sending my heart to race. "Stop," I held my arms up to assert control. "This is serious business." As I twisted to reach for the book, Jerry's hands were tugging at the waist band of my pj bottoms, sliding them down, partially baring my butt.
Stung when I whacked the book over Jerry's head, Jerry protested, "But I was serious."
