April 2045
Even in relatively short time Adam has been alive, the United States had become unrecognizable to the place he remembered as a child. Society was on the brink of collapsing, at least that's what all the news outlets made it out to be. Granted, even though there was a lot of controversy whether to trust the media, it was obvious people were panicking. Families had broken up; marriage was not even a practice anymore. In the 2010's, Adam remembered news outlets covering the dramatically declining birth rate in Japan. "How crazy of them!" people would jeer, often poking fun at the upswing in so-called "sexbots", "virtual marriages", and much more. Even in the chaos taking over the United States, Adam still thought it was a comical representation of what was otherwise a 'perfect' country.
However, the tides had turned. Japan's population crisis had reached equilibrium - it just took some time. Relationships were stable, people were having, what, 1.8 kids on average? Adam spent a lot of time doing the research on this. When this crisis began, Adam was in his late 30s. Now, a man reaching almost 50 years of age, he wasn't sure if the country he was proud of would heal after he passed. It sure didn't look like it was going to, at least anytime soon.
From what the academics claim, there was a rapid disregard of relationships - a significant social structure change that happened in the span of 2 or so years. It was almost like the act was planned, deliberate. No one knew for sure, there was no organization, no leader, no one claiming responsibility. But the acts were so coordinated that it was hard to believe that all of this was organic. It wasn't just restricted to heterosexual relationships either, however. Gay and lesbian relationships had become much less common as well. Adam felt this personally when his boyfriend practically "ghosted" him (at least that's what the term was when Adam learned of the practice of suddenly ignoring a partner), bringing up many feelings of resentment, guilt. This would be a problem if Adam was still gay. Nowadays, Adam doesn't think so.
This is all because Adam was commissioned onto a new assignment within the U.S. Army that was created when the first stats came out about the practically non-existent birthrate. A form of "selective service" had become mandatory for all women turning 18, like what had been done with men. However, women would have the option of armed service or what was now called "childhood service". Choosing childhood service was both optional and lottery based. Just because a girl signs up for the childhood service doesn't mean she would be selected. A woman would carry a child and receive a rather large stipend from the government to raise the child. The woman is not allowed to know the father, unless there is an urgent reason to do so (such as needing to know medical history). It was much less anonymous than sperm donors. Adam always thought the government was skidding with the thought of total anonymity which is why the government chose it to be a military operation. The military had documentation of every aspect of these men's lives.
There was controversy when this was proposed, not because women were signing up to carry children, but whether it should be optional. Members from both parties agreed that there would not be enough women volunteering for the process. However, to the surprise of everyone, there was no issue getting women to sign up for the service. On the other hand, for the men being involved in the process, it was less of a choice. Men chosen for the process were hand selected. The U.S. Army claimed this is because for men, repopulation is a lot less time demanding. It was true, a man could knock up a new woman every single day. As such, the men needed to be...well..." good". The Army knew Adam was gay, well at least his comrades did. He didn't flaunt it and no one would have ever guessed, but he would occasionally bring his then-boyfriend to barbecues, events, etc. That didn't matter apparently, and Adam was surprised when he was brought in for a surprise interview. Adam joined as an officer, getting degrees in Chemical Engineering before joining the armed services. He had brains, and he had the body, which he was always thankful to have that combo. Weightlifting, which was his stress outlet in undergraduate, had turned into a hobby for him. He had since competed in powerlifting competitions and was extremely proud that the once chubby and weak boy had turned into a solid, broad man. Adam's shoulders had become exceptionally (and somewhat annoyingly) wide and large. His ex-partners always said he had tree trunks for legs. His biceps stretched his sleeves out. While he never thought he looked 'perfect', Adam was able to look in the mirror and smile at where he had gotten to.
Maybe it wasn't a surprise then when the Army interviewed him. The interview process, even for military standards, was rather sketchy. For the operation, they needed to verify his sperm was good. To do this, Adam was forced to masturbate in front of an official. Nervous, it took Adam almost a half-hour of hardcore jacking to get something out. No porn, no magazines, just the sound of the air conditioning and the official's impatient breathing. He was told this was done intentionally, "we can't have any prudes on this project". He didn't have much in the chamber, considering this was a surprise interview and he had pleasured himself the night before. It was about 3 days later that Adam got notice he was now commissioned onto this project and that he would need to relocate to Long Island.
The first week at the base on Long Island, Adam, along with a group of 40 or so men, were filled in with what the project was, to temporarily drive up the birth rates so that there can be a large enough "next generation" of children to support the country. They needed kids with good genetics, since this generation was going to be smaller. These children were going to effectively do double or triple the work as the previous generations. The process of how this was being done was not explained. They were instructed to make a list of items that would make it easier for the men to get off, lingerie, certain lubes, etc. It was explained that the women were on the premises and under absolutely no circumstances was there allowed to be any interaction. In fact, the women were not allowed to see who the men were. We were given two supplements, and drug called dianabol and a supplement called lecithin. Dianabol was effectively a steroid, supposed to increase the drive and endurance of the men, and lecithin increased semen volume and sperm count. The supplements were given at every meal, and men were mandated to exercise for at least one hour, 4 days a week, except for weeks of "heavy work".
This still was not enough information for Adam to feel comfortable. He had been with women in the past, granted he was always quite drunk and always had condoms on. The experience was usually alright, he thought. He never considered himself "100% gay". However, the officials must have known about his sexuality, and they still chose him? He had a duty, however, and he thought this was an important operation. He took his supplements, did his gym work, and ultimately made friends at the base. It was a relatively easy gig and he was being paid a good amount to effectively do nothing for the time being. After some time, men started being pulled aside for a few hours at a time, and Adam knew that the operation had started.
Adam was given 2 days' notice prior to his first workday. He was instructed that everything on his list would be supplied to him and that he could not pleasure himself beforehand. On the day he was assigned, Adam was approached in the gym by two men and asked if he was ready. Adam was led to a dark, windowless room with a crisply made queen-sized bed that had a towel, lube, and two things that Adam asked for, poppers and a vibrator. The poppers made Adam extremely horny for a short period of time, so perhaps it would help him. The vibrator was more of a "hail-mary". He hoped if he could see the women get off, it would help him out. Beside the bed were two chairs that had a clipboard and some other tools on it. After leading Adam in, the two men asked him if he was ready. "Ready as I'll ever be, I guess!" Adam tried to joke. The two men didn't laugh. One of the men left the room to retrieve the woman, and the other man got close to Adam's ear and whispered "I know about your whole sexuality...thing. We chose you for a reason. Just relax, do your service. Take as much time as you need. You have one mission and you will do it".
He sounded quite stern, yet oddly comforting at the same time. The other man had walked in with a naked woman, blindfolded and facing away from Adam. The man leading her instructed her to lay face down on the bed, which she promptly did. She seemed almost...giddy? Her soft face had a slight grin plastered right on. No makeup, yet Adam could not see a single defect in her face, no acne, no scars, no blemishes. Perhaps the women were chosen specifically for this project as well. She was a smaller, thin woman, perhaps light-skinned Hispanic. It was hard to tell in the lighting. As the woman laid down, her small yet full ass visible for all to see, the other man placed the towel over the back of her head, and she was instructed to turn over. Now, the woman had two things protecting her eyes from seeing Adam. Only her neck down was visible. The man whispered again into Adam's ear: "Alright officer, do your thing. My colleague and I will be sitting right here to watch the process". And with that, Adam stood alone facing the woman. Her legs spread, shaved pussy right in front of him.
Adam didn't really know the protocol of how he should do this. Was romance involved? Did he need to get intimate with her? He thought he was being good about hiding his confusion, but that illusion was broken when one of the men stood back up and approached him.
