The wind was cold as Gary crossed the campus; he tightened his coat and scarf. At 70, he was not as spry as he used to be in his mid-years. Still, the air was refreshing as he walked toward the building complex. He had heard about Dr. Susan Carter's research into brain chemistry, but did not know she was also researching the erotic effects of pheromones on males and females.
His longtime friend and beer drinking buddy, Dr. John Meyers, professor of Egyptian Anthropology, suggested a meeting with Dr. Carter. Perhaps she could give him insight into his dilemma. Gary hoped a surprise visit to her office would not end up being a faux pas.
After two exciting sexual encounters with his new studio assistant Kate, Gary could not explain what Kate and he had encountered sexually. Just thinking about Kate and her scent made him stiff. Considering his prior career as noted sex psychologist, his orgasms at 70 were unusually strong both times with her. Most notably, he found he could continue going because his stiffness did not go away. Both times, it was as if he had several multiple mini orgasms at the end. To him, this was an enigma at his age!
Yes, Kate was in her mid-twenties, smart, beautiful, and would turn any man's head. Yet, it was more than that. Something else was going on. He noticed that even Kate felt this unusual connection. Both times, while they were having sex, it was as if both fell through a black hole. He still could not explain why these unusual feelings were so powerful. His buddy, Dr. John, suggested he had finally fallen in love, but Gary knew it was something more than that!
Gary entered the Microbiology Building and looked on the directory; there she was on the second floor—Dr. Susan Carter. He was glad he did not have to climb the stairs, but the elevator music was annoying. At last, he was in front of her office door and knocked.
A voice came from inside the office that said, "Come in Dr. Stone."
Gad, how did she know it was him?
"John gave me a call and said you would drop by today. So, how may I help you?"
Gary was not sure how to begin. He took a seat in front of her desk. She was indeed beautiful—perhaps in her early 40s—her smile radiant, and her eyes so green. Gary decided to tell her the complete story. He described his prior career as a noted psychologist in human sexuality, and his best-selling book on the female mega orgasm. He told her of the discovery of erotic acupressure points on the human body in Thailand, which led to his book.
He explained that after he retired, he became a noted figure artist, that he had set up a studio and was selling a lot of his figurative and nude art. He then described his two encounters with Kate, his new studio assistant, and the enigma created by those encounters.
"Dr. Stone, I have read your book and followed your research. It was groundbreaking! It is a shame the university ended your tenure here. Your work has interested me greatly."
Gary smiled and was glad that she did not just dismiss him.
"By background, I am an organic chemist, and we have founded the Center for Human Senses."
"How interesting," Gary said while mentally admiring her beauty.
"My team and I have been researching supramolecular nano-pheromone technology in humans." Dr. Carter explained.
"We have discovered that certain brain chemicals are released prior to, and during, human sexual arousal. We have confirmed that these newly discovered brain chemicals trigger pheromones. We can now measure, capture, and analyze these pheromones. We found certain places on the male and female body can release a full range of pheromones. These have never been measured before because they have no perceivable odor."
Perhaps, Gary thought, this was the answer to why he and Kate experienced extraordinary sex.
"These subtle chemical signals have affected humans, and a full range of mammals, since the dawn of mankind. While previously not detectable by humans, these pheromones have a significant effect on both males and females and often lead to coitus. We also found that certain individuals produced a range of 'super' pheromones and that is where our current research is leading us."
"Please call me Gary," Gary took a deep breath. "Your work sounds very interesting and perhaps apropos."
"Likewise, please call me Susan." Even at his age of 70, she was finding him interesting in a very attractive way. She could not help looking at his hands. She wondered if he could be one of those unique individuals that carried the super pheromones. After all, history shows that certain women and men had a propensity to have many lovers. Mother Nature's way of diversifying the gene pool. Mother Nature did not count on birth-control pills!
She continued, "We also found that a small portion of the population produces these pheromones and we have named them 'Supermones'. And, with our newer scientific equipment, we have been able to finally isolate them."
Gary noticed her blouse was pouched open and he caught a glimpse of her red bra, a color that he had always loved in women's lingerie. "Focus!" he thought.
"Gary, what I don't understand is why an older fellow like yourself would entertain 'encounters,' as you call them, with such a young lady?" Dr. Carter gave a rather coy smile.
"Well, Susan, I am not exclusive with her, and we understand the vast difference in our ages. I, to, don't understand our unusual connection. That is why I came by to see you."
Gary wanted to break the ice further with her and said, "I am not sure Kate and I would like the same music." And Gary laughed. Susan smiled too.
He noticed something was in the air, and it seemed that the tables were turning on him. Susan had pulled out some hand lotion and somehow it was influencing him. Shortly thereafter, his arousal was seemingly fired up by the subtle fragrance. He was now tuned-in to her lips and eyes. He was fascinated by the way she wore her clothes. His breaths were deepening. His thoughts were focused on how delightful it would be to undress her in his bedroom. His mind wandered. He shook his head trying to get back to the subject at hand, but the only thing he could think of was seducing Susan.
"Have you noticed something different about our meeting now?" she sighed. "Many experts in the field of human sexuality describe how the male nervous system must be chemically unwound, fantasy awakened, and an erection to occur before the male comes to full arousal. What if we discovered a mutually shared pheromone that chemically sets the stage for both females and males prior to what you called the unexplained enhanced encounters with your assistant?"
Gary thought for a moment, the hand lotion is having a major effect on me, I better not stand up! He was hard and throbbing. He glanced back to Susan, and she was looking directly into his eyes. He was melting and he felt the heat coming from her. Something was connecting him to her; he reached out and took her hand.
"Yes, I am amazed and I am not quite sure why you are affecting me this way. I am fully aroused just because of your hand lotion! I am more than mesmerized. Yet, I find it curious from a clinical standpoint, I hardly noticed a fragrance or odor at all. Please tell me more."
She squeezed his hand and he almost involuntarily leaned in and she gave him a tentative kiss on the lips. She pulled him in a little closer and slid her tongue lightly back and forth between his lips. It was like fire and ice! A dance of things to come. To his surprise, she then put her index finger into his mouth and wiggled it out. He received a direct dose of the pheromones and all his resistance was gone.
Gary considered who was seducing whom.
She knew he was now flying in a stew of brain chemistry triggered by the hand lotion. While it was having the expected effect on him, it also was affecting her too! After the demonstration of her research on him, she wondered if she should continue. She was attracted to him—was this her chance to experience the "mega" orgasm she had read about at the hands of the master?
She figured it was now or never, threw caution to the wind, and gave him a full-on French kiss with her hand at the back of his head. By running her fingers through his hair, the lotion was also being absorbed by his scalp. She broke the kiss and pushed him back into his chair.
