Mrs. Chen knocked on her son Tommy's door. "You better be studying," she said turning the handle.
"Mom, I didn't say to come in!" Tommy quickly covered himself and closed his laptop. He was sitting in just his boxers and a white t-shirt. The room had the lingering smell of masturbation.
"Tommy, your books aren't even out," his mother said going over to his backpack and dumping it onto the bed. "You have that big project to finish, and your college exams are this weekend! Are you trying to flunk out?!" She quickly scooped up his organic chemistry book and set it aside.
"No! Mom... I was just about to start, I promise."
"I've heard that before. What were you doing on that computer? Looking at those trashy girls again?" she said reaching to grab his laptop.
"Mom! I'm an adult now! You can't take my laptop anymore," he said grabbing it and holding it in his arms.
"While you're living under this roof and eating my food, you need to put your studies first!"
"I do, mom! I just need to let off some steam once in a while."
"Use that steam to do extra work. You need a good job. No girl is gonna marry a porn addicted vagrant. You spend too much time on those sites."
"I don't, mom!"
"An hour! I listened!"
"Mom?!"
"If you need release, you need to go faster," she said grabbing his organic chemistry book and pushing it into his lap. "I'm going to get you one of those sex toys. If you finish faster you can be more productive."
"Mom, seriously," he said blushing deeply, "I don't want to talk about that with you."
"Nonsense, without me pushing you you'd never get anything done," she said walking over to the door before turning around and staring at him.
"I'm going to go to that shop on the edge of town while you stay here and study. You'll have your silly sex toy when I get back."
She walked through his doorway before yelling back "I expect results!"

A half hour later, Mrs. Chen walked down the aisles of the small sex shop. Dildo's and ball gags lined the various shelves.
The store clerk, a portly bearded man with glasses, came around the corner to check on her.
"Can I help you find anything today?"
"I need a sex toy for my son," she said matter-of-factly.
"Erm, okay... We have a lot of options here," he said leading her down another aisle. "We have sleeves molded from pornstars, electronic assisted ones, self lubricating ones—"
"We don't need all that. What's your cheapest one?"
He looked around and reached down to the bottom shelf grabbing a small box. "This here is about as vanilla and basic as it gets. You get the case, sleeve and even a complimentary tube of lube. Only 60 bucks."
"60 dollars?! That's ridiculous. There must be a cheaper one here. You're trying to scam me," she said looking around at the price tags. "Where is your used section?"
"Our
used
sex toy section?" he said raising his eyebrows at her. "You said this was for your son?"
"Yes, he doesn't need brand new. Used works perfectly fine."
The man wrinkled his nose and stood there quietly staring at the woman as she looked through the shelves.
Mrs. Chen stood at a short 5'2" in the black platform sandals she was wearing. She kept her pitch black hair up in a tight and neat bun. Her red toenail polish was bright and vibrant, like a beacon peeking out the front of each shoe. She dressed modestly with a black skirt that came down past her knees and a light blue turtleneck sweater. The sweater did nothing to tone down the enormity of her breasts though. They swelled within the fabric, making her appear top-heavy. If not for her bra, they'd certainly sag low upon her short torso.
The salesman cleared his throat. Mrs. Chen looked up at him and, for a second, the light's glare across his lenses made them appear to glow red. The man adjusted his glasses and the glow vanished. "You know what, miss? I was mistaken. We do have a cheaper model," he said replacing the box onto the shelf and heading towards the front of the store.
The woman waited as the man rummaged underneath the counter before standing up holding a plain white box with two red X's on it. "This is a prototype model. Hasn't been released to the public yet," he said setting it down on the counter.
She picked it up and examined it. "A plain white box? You sure this is a legitimate product?"
"If you'd like to waste money on fancy packaging, I have plenty of othe—"
"This will do. How much?"
"20 dollars flat. That includes the tax."
She nodded her head and reached into her purse. "That is much more reasonable. I don't appreciate you trying to up-sell me with unneeded features." She handed him the 20 dollar bill and made her way to the exit.
"I think your son will really enjoy that one," the man said waving to her. "That product is a life changer."

Back at the house, Mrs. Chen set down her purse and put the box on the kitchen counter. She grabbed a pair of scissors from the drawer and cut at the tape holding the box closed. Once cut, she flipped the top open and looked inside.
White plastic with 'Prototype 17x' etched into it stared back at her. She tipped the box and a long white plastic tube fell into her hand. It was girthy and tapered at one side. She made a gesture of weighing the tube in her hand.
Feels too light and cheap. Lousy man. I bet it's junk.
"Tommy!" she yelled.
After several seconds, her son walked into the kitchen—he now wore shorts over his boxers. "Yeah, mom?"
"Here," she said handing him the plastic tube. "This better help you focus or I'm returning it."
"Mom, I thought you were kidding," he said blushing at the fleshlight in his hands.
"I never joke about your future. Now go back to studying."
Tommy tried to grab the box but his mother snatched it up. "No, I'll keep this. I want it kept in good condition so we can return it if it breaks."
Tommy sighed and awkwardly left the kitchen towards his room.
Mrs. Chen grabbed the box and left the kitchen as well. She walked into her bedroom and closed the door behind her, sitting down at her vanity desk. She placed the box down to her left and started undoing her hair. "The things I do to make sure that boy is successful, I swear."
As she undid her hair and shook it out, her elbow knocked against the desk causing the box to tip over. A small silver ring with a jade inlay rolled out onto the desktop, coming to a stop in front of her.
"What's this?" she said picking up the small ring. The light danced across the jade and silver as she turned it in her fingers. "Oh wow, so beautiful."
She grabbed the box and looked inside before shaking it upside down. A business card fell out. She picked it up and read the message on the front of the card.
The ring and toy are one and the same. Whether across the room or the globe, always be intimate with that special someone. An everlasting bond awaits you.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at the card and put it back in the box. "At least the ring is pretty," she said sliding it onto the ring finger of her right hand. It fit perfectly and she held up her hand to the light and the jade seemed to glow. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and a chill ran down her spine; the chill was soon replaced with a warmth that wrapped around her hips and into her lower abdomen. Her face flushed, and she grabbed onto the desk to steady herself.
Ooh... I'm too young for hot flashes...
Her body was tense and she sat there for several moments before she was finally able to relax. She sighed and got up to change into her comfortable clothes. After changing into some pajama pants and a plain white t-shirt she went to go watch some TV in the living room.

Tommy sat in his room staring blankly at his book. He'd placed the fleshlight his mom had given him on the dresser by his bed and he kept stealing glances at it every minute or so. He looked over again but this time the base of the fleshlight had a glowing pink ring around it, as if there were LED's embedded within the plastic. He tilted his head and furrowed his brow before getting up from his chair and walking over to the dresser. There was a low barely audible hum as he picked it up and moved it from hand to hand
. It's... heavier... Why is it so warm?
He flipped the white plastic tube over and unfastened the cap from the thicker end. As he pulled the large white cap free it exposed a very intricately detailed faux vagina underneath. Tommy was amazed at how realistic it looked; it looked just like the many photos he'd seen online, but this was 3 dimensional; this had depth.
His fingers pressed against the lips and separated them revealing a warm wet hole beneath.
It's so real... How much did mom pay for this?

Mrs. Chen sat on the living room couch flipping through channels.
So much trash these days
