***** This story tended to get a little long before it came to its conclusion and frankly I grew tired of it. It was set to continue with more family members. I rewrote it a few times but decided just to stop it where it is. I may be tempted to finish it later. And ofcourse all the players in this little fantasy are over eighteen. Thanks for your indulgence. *****
The selling of women into sexual slavery is rampant in my country. But the elders dress it up by applying vague names to the practice and couching it with ancient traditions, as if stoning people would still be acceptable if we gave it a sporty name.
We are a poor nation, where the prevailing attitude among rural dwellers is that male children are over-valued because they can work on the farms and perform the manual labor that is required to provide shelter and what little income can be gained. So, their sometimes-perverted sexual peccadillos are overlooked or winked-at. Females are considered to be the caretakers and social providers, but are mostly looked down upon, as so many mouths to feed and are prized primarily for being subservient and for sexual gratification. And these two traits should be employed together, according to most men. To be concise, there are two rules in this society; rule #1 says that at all times, men are dominant. Rule #2 says that when in doubt, refer to rule #1.
The buying and selling of human beings is strictly forbidden in our country as it is in most other civilized societies and nobody would ever dare say otherwise. But the ancient tradition of child-brides, doweries and arranged marriages are legally sanctioned by both our government and our state religion. The law insists that a woman must be eighteen before engaging in sex or being offered in marriage, but the enforcement is a bit spotty. Even at the appropriate age, the situation can be disturbing. The real story is often a sad one. I know. I am one.
My name is Mary. I was the eldest of my family's three surviving children-all girls. And an exorbitant amount of menial labor and unrelenting scorn was heaped on my narrow shoulders, simply for want of a penis. From a young age, I was tasked with helping my father in the fields and was also responsible for sharing with my mother, who was only thirteen years older than me, household chores and the raising of my younger sisters.
Father saw us all as nearly useless for his purposes. My mother was a disappointment to him for not breeding sons. Me, for not being strong. And the little ones, or maybe all of us as redundant. He believed, like most of the men in our country, that a house needed only one woman to cook and clean. And at nights, (or practically anytime,) being of legal age, she should be willing and available for any form of sexual pleasure that her man desired. She should arrive at the marital bed or whichever room that the intended debauchery was to take place, energetic, clean and smelling nice, and prepared to allow whatever type of sexual indulgence that her man desired. Her obligation was his satisfaction, whether or not she was in the mood or if he had not shaved or showered. It was taken as a matter of course that too many women in a home could lead to discontentment or other forms of rebellion that upset the patriarchal harmony. Men found that situation to be inconvenient and intolerable.
Sons on the other hand; built things, hauled heavy objects, protected the land and eventually either inherited the property or drifted away to start their own households. They were indulged in most things. Though trouble could arise as sons reached puberty and felt that sexual itch. As they grew to the legitimate, adult age where they wished to experiment with more than their clenched hand, they wanted to begin feeling a warm, female body underneath of them. Their first thoughts were to find a woman of legal breeding age to practice with. The mother was first employed to teach them the gentle basics of the "birds and the bees," and how and when to control those urges. But there would always come a night when the grown boy returned home drunk and horny. If there were no women of appropriate age around, either in the home or nearby neighbors who may be willing, then often with the father's reluctant consent, the mother became a sexual surrogate. This was usually understood to be the best way to solve this problem without violence, and ideally it would never be spoken of, again. Regardless of the mother's consent. Or with the father alongside, they became an uncomfortable threesome. The mother was not always excited about this unusual coupling, but ofcourse her vote didn't count. But having had a sniff, the son was reluctant to give-up and the father hated to cede control.
This arrangement eventually became untenable. Either the father became a cuckold or the son was driven off. Both scenarios brought unwanted disharmony to the home. The house could only prosper if value was being added. Horny angry young men led to confusion and animosity. Women (of proper age) needed to be acquired to keep the family functioning. So, a man in need of a woman either for himself or his son, would approach a family with too many daughters of atleast eighteen years and not enough money. An arrangement was made and everyone concerned left happy. The woman's feelings on this transaction really didn't matter. I was one of those unfortunates.
My family was in desperate straights when Samuel arrived at our door. Just days
before, we had celebrated my eighteenth birthday- the legal age for publicly announcing that I could be bred- and we all had different reasons to rejoice. My father had been letting it known as soon as deemed socially acceptible, to anyone with a cock, that his big-titted daughter would soon be available. He lavishly praised my homemaking qualities all around our small village and incidentally mentioned that I would make a capable breeder. Its terribly strange that I had never once heard him praise my homemaking abilities.
And before anyone would come asking of me, he almost guaranteed with a sly wink that I would be glad to take any cock in any hole, and never complain. He expected suiters to line-up to present their offers almost as if he were conducting an impromptu slave auction. I was required to twirl, bend and preen for admiring men while smiling and accept the commendations of my housekeeping skills, that I had never heard extolled before. And though I was new to this absurd practice, I realized that the ogling, drooling expressions of lust that covered most of the faces in the crowd, had almost nothing to do with my domestic abilities and were entirely due to my curvy figure and supposed enthusiasm to please.
My mother ofcourse, was delighted that her daughter was finally entering that age of becoming a viable woman. It wasn't always easy for a young girl to reach this milestone and still maintain her virginity, let alone all of her teeth and a sense of good health. But mother also came to the conclusion that 18 years of child-rearing could finally pay-off for her. She might be afforded some of the benefits that "trading" me in, could gather. It may have been akin to the animal kingdom, when the young ones finally leave the nest or the pack, the mother loses all regard to her offspring and continues-on with her life.
I was thrilled to finally be "of age." Maybe a life of endless toil and mostly misery, would let-up if I were to marry someone and have a home of my own. Though I understood that this day would mark a lewd passage of sorts. Soon I would undergo a certain ritual-deflowering, that was unspoken but quite expected. The novelty of a woman's virginity being intact at my age was not always so admirable. Most men wanted a woman who wasn't scared or timid between the sheets, but one who understood how she was expected to respond to her husband's expressed wishes. Just how you were expected to acquire this knowledge while remaining pure and innocent was a mystery. I had never been touched in that way and knew very little about the impending ordeal. I would now be slated to begin a week or so, of sleeping in the same bed as my parents. There, I would learn and practice the intimate arts that my mother had been dutifully lecturing and preparing me for. And my father would "teach" me how to perform and obey any or all of the crude, obscene directives that my new husband might want. And possibly get some satisfaction from our little predicament.
