*****
My dad is a carpenter. He spent years building houses and sort of retired when he was 39 with a lower back problem. He put together his own workshop at home, with a lot of equipment he already had. He does light-weight specialized carpenter work for whomever. He loves the work. Mom enjoys having him home more.
We get along normally which makes this whole thing a little off the wall. Dad and I were off on a Saturday buying some wood. I go along when I can to help load and unload. His back problem in mind. We were in the parking lot and he stopped and leaned against a post. I thought he was resting for a moment.
He said, "Bess." He was pausing, thinking. He stretched out the 'Bess' some. I was patient. "Could you buy me one of those, well, I would pay for it of course, things that you have. A different type of course. One of those vibrators. For men."
He wasn't looking at me. I stood there with my mouth open. I said, "Sure dad."
"Ok, good," he said. Then he got off the pole and started for the store. Then he stopped and said, "We can talk about it. You know, later." And we went on to the store. He didn't bring it up again that whole day or the next.
Never in my whole life has dad ever said anything to me about sex or anything to do with sex. It was always mom. I've never even seen dad in his underwear. I've only seen him in pjs a couple of times, ever. When he was in the hospital with his back and I went he was covered with a blanket, all over.
Mom doesn't even know I have vibrators. A spy could search our house and not find my vibrators. How does dad know I have vibrators and does he know what kind and how many. I've never told anybody. It would be a crisis in our family. Sex is a word doctor's use. I waited three days and he didn't say another word about it.
I went out to his shop out back. Mom was busy in the house. I smiled, he smiled and I said, "I would need to know something about the design. What you might be thinking."
He looked at the piece he was working on and said, "I don't really know what's available. What they, uh." He got hung up there.
I said, "I can help. How about sometimes when mom isn't home I find some on the internet and, you know, leave the room and you can look at them. I'll show you how to do that on the computer. It's very easy, it won't be a problem." Dad does not know the slightest thing about computers. He's never even had a cell phone.
He nodded his head a couple of times and said, "Ok. Thanks." He went back to working on his piece. I waited a moment and went around the table and bent over to look at what he was working on. I said, "I love the color of the stain. I like it dark." He looked up and smiled. I wanted him to know I was ok with want he wanted and everything was fine and went back to the house.
Mom went somewhere for lunch with a friend the next day so I cranked up the computer and got a clothing site on and got dad. I showed him how to scroll up and down the screen and how to go to the next screen or backwards and how to add to the cart. I said when he finished adding to the cart to leave everything as it is and let me know. He turned away and I got the male vibrators on the screen and left the room.
He came through the kitchen, a quick smile, and went out to his shop. He added two to the cart. I perused the male vibrators earlier and added one more and ordered, having them sent to another address so mom wouldn't know. A friend of mine. She helped me get mine.
A few days later she brought them to work. I took them out to the shop in a bag and sat them on the counter. We talked about a project he was working on. We were looking at a difficult wood joint he did and not at each other and I said, "I understand they work just fine when using a condom. Two of them are also waterproof." I could see him nodding out of the corner of my eye. We looked at the joint some more and I went back to the house. All this had to be very difficult for him.
That evening I changed to pjs early and we watched a movie in the den together. The pjs were very short and my top was very casual, flowing, with a sleep bra. I left my shoes off so my feet were bare and stretched out with my legs on a soft ottoman. My midriff was showing a few inches.
I'm 19, 5ft6 and I could be a petite. I guess mom and dad could call me dressed for bed this way risquΓ©. I was absolutely unashamedly giving dad a jump start. I planned to do the same until I thought it had an effect.
When I got back from work the next day mom smiled and nodded her head at me. She knew. She said, "Thanks Bess."
"Mom, you know about everything?" I said. "Dad didn't say."
"Oh yes," she said. "I'm afraid I'm the one that told your dad about your vibrators. I said he should ask. I'm glad he did. He needs them."
"How do you know about my vibrators?" I said.
"Dear," she said. "Dad thinks you're snoring. I can tell when a woman is in heat. I accidentally ran across them when searching every nook and cranny in your bedroom. I was curious. I wanted to see what they were like up close. Sorry for breaching your trust and privacy. Now I'm glad I did."
I couldn't resist. I said, "Did you try one?"
"No," she said. "Well, just on the outside of my panties. It did take longer to test it than I thought it would. Now that you've got your dad some maybe you might could do the same for me."
