My Perfect Tens
Part 15 of 15
----------------------------------------------------
We know Jim plans to have a family of five loving people who work together to generate positive emotional energy and raise happy, healthy children. You see how it works in the conclusion of
"My Perfect Tens."
----------------------------------------------------
I found Ellen at a non-profit organization that delivers medical assistance to remote regions of the world. It took a lot of effort to travel to the region of Africa where she was working. My arrival in the remote area shocked her. Nobody goes to that part of the world without a very good reason, and she couldn't quite believe I'd made the arduous trip just to find her.
I was sad to discover that she was lonely. Ellen welcomed me to her bed immediately, and I sensed that she'd been starved for intimacy for so long that it was a joy for her to experience it again.
It took almost no persuading to get Ellen to agree to go to California with me. For some reason, she had no difficulty accepting my story about using alien technology to accomplish wondrous things.
"I always knew there was something different about you," Ellen said.
She understood immediately what I meant when I explained that I was offering her a chance to experience more love and commitment than most people can imagine. But what sold her on my plan was the idea that she'd be able to donate billions of dollars to charitable causes. More than any person I've ever met, Ellen had a sophisticated understanding of the vast needs of the people who live in parts of the world most of us ignore. It was almost as though she was born with a need to help people.
"I'm in," she said.
I found Jenna working for the Gates Foundation. She specialized in finding ways to support educational initiatives in disadvantaged communities. She was shocked to see me, and I sensed she was torn about feeling attracted to me again. Jenna was dating a nice young man who worked with her. They weren't engaged, but she thought they were moving in that direction. She worried that spending time with me was a betrayal.
But she couldn't help it. The chemistry between us was so strong that we quickly wound up in bed. After we had sex I told her why I'd come to find her. She found the whole story to be preposterous, but I had plenty of ways to prove I was telling the truth.
She also thought there was something bizarre about my suggestion that she join a family consisting of one husband and four wives. I was able to explain why it had to be that way, but it was so weird she couldn't immediately wrap her head around the idea.
Fortunately, Jenna had enjoyed a very active sex life in the years since we'd been together. She'd spent time with women as well as men, and she'd had several rewarding threesomes. I persuaded her to take some vacation time so I could take her home "just for a visit." I introduced her to Iris, Lena, and Jenna, and those three women ganged up on her, planting mental suggestions that we could be one (very) happy family.
She was sold on the idea by the second day with us. We celebrated by taking her to bed and making that first time all about her pleasure. We did everything we could to arouse and satisfy her.
I don't want to give you the impression that I was some kind of patriarch who ruled over our family. That was not how it worked. Although I'd come up with the idea for our unique family, each of us gravitated toward different roles.
Jenna organized amazing trips to spectacularly beautiful places, where we hiked, swam, or biked all day, then enjoyed sex with each other all night. Lena specialized in pushing us to explore our kinky sides. Every so often she'd put on some leather, pick up a whip, and make us all do very strange things that were strangely satisfying.
Ellen was nurturing. She seemed to understand the special challenges that came from having five very different people in one romantic relationship. She always knew how to encourage us to support and love each other. I'd expected that our strange little family would be a success because we were all good people who'd try to make it work. That was true, of course, but Ellen was the person who knew
HOW
to make it work.
Iris was the brains of the family. She was the one who came up with ideas for things we should try.
And me? I was the sole source of testosterone in an ocean of estrogen.
This is hard to explain because all the women were brilliant, strong-willed, confident people with plenty of opinions about how things should work. But one thing they agreed on was that they all wanted a man to be the head of our family. They felt I should lead so they would have someone to follow. The idea was that I was supposed to talk to all of them about what they wanted to happen, and then it was my job to make a decision for all of us.
The fact that I'd come up with the plan and invited them to join made them all see me as our leader. Besides, I'd spent years benefitting from harvested emotional energy. I'd attained a level of advanced development they wouldn't achieve for a long time.
Still, I can point to several parts of the family dynamic where the women ruled. There were topics where my opinion was not welcome.
For example, the women decided collectively that we needed to be married. That surprised me, because it is not legal for five people to wed. The ladies explained to me that this wasn't a problem because all we needed was a commitment ceremony where we all pledged our love and devotion to each other. There would be wedding gowns. Rings. Cake. The usual stuff. They argued that marriage licenses were not required.
They also decided that all of them wanted to have kids. A lot of kids. Having children was part of my plan from the beginning, but I didn't think about the details. I was mainly interested in experiencing parenthood and harvesting the abundant emotional energy children generate continually.
But the women decided the specifics; they made it clear that my input was not required. They determined that we would have an extended "honeymoon" for a few years when we would enjoy each other's company and do the kind of fun things people do before becoming parents. The women would decide when the honeymoon was over. Then we would all follow a plan Iris made where we would have the commitment ceremony, and then immediately get started making babies.
And by "immediately," that's exactly what they meant. Iris came up with an idea that had us get married in the morning, and then conceive our first baby that afternoon. Crazy, right? But this was Iris. She knew exactly how to make that happen and still feel natural. She designed a day that became the most meaningful in all our lives.
