I didnât want to know what was bothering me. It had been going on for so long, I thought that was just the way things were supposed to be. Why did she set me off? Why did she make me angry when she tried to be sweet to me? How could a son be so hateful to his mother?
I had trouble getting along with her even before my father had died when I was twelve. I even called her Mary for a while because I didnât want to call her âMom.â Everything changed after I woke up to what was going on in my own head. I was looking at a picture of a beautiful full-breasted woman on the Internet when I broke out in a sweat. She looked like my Mary, my mom, and I wanted her. I wanted to do everything imaginable to her - I wasnât thinking about the woman in the picture. It was so obvious but I had never let myself think the thought. I wanted my mother. It didnât feel horrible; it felt exciting. I got so turned on that as soon as I touched myself I had an explosive and exhausting orgasm.
Today I recognize that the difference between conscious and unconscious feelings is an illusion. I was still feeling the desire for her even if I wasnât aware of it. It was affecting me physically and mentally but I just wasnât ready to tell myself the words â âI want you mom.â
When I did focus my awareness on how I felt about my mother, the floodgates opened. I thought about her all the time and our relationship mellowed. She didnât make me angry any more. She could kiss me and I didnât recoil. In fact she couldnât kiss enough to suit me.
Thoughts of her put me to sleep at night. Of course they were adolescent fantasies like many of the stories of incest I had begun reading on the net. She came to me in the middle of night and took me in her mouth; she gave me her body for my birthday, she saw me naked and couldnât resist sleeping with me. I donât think that stuff really happens much. Well, it didnât happen to me.
It took months for mom and me to even get back to a conventional mother-son relationship. It was slow, painfully so. It took years before we got to an unconventional one.
I would say the genesis of anything beyond fantasy involved the Motherâs Day present I gave her when I was eighteen and she was thirty-seven. I agonized for a month considering what her reaction would be. I just couldnât decide if I was doing the right thing or stupidly embarrassing myself. I had seen the outfit in a Victoriaâs Secret kind of store. The model in the picture had dark hair and an ample body like mom. The bra, panties, and garter belt, were a combination of filmy white nylon and lace, to cover without covering. The stockings were white with sheer vertical lines going thigh to ankle. The dressing gown was opened but it wouldnât have prevented you from seeing the undergarments even if it had been buttoned.
I often imagined how my mother would look in it; I was embarrassed in the store, but I had to buy it. When I gave it to her, my heart was pounding. Her eyes opened in surprise and she gave a little laugh. At least she didnât hate it, or me for giving it to her. She said, âOh honey itâs lovely. It must have cost you a fortune.â
âYouâre worth it mom; do you really like it?â I said.
âOf course dear,â she said. She stopped for a moment and asked, âWhat made you get me such a sexy outfit?â
I fumbled, âI donât know; I just saw it and thought you would look nice in it.â
She laughed a bit and said, âItâs a bit daring,â and then she added as an afterthought, âToo bad I donât have anyone to wear it for right now; oh well, maybe someday.â She had only been out on a few sporadic dates and some of the relationships had turned to friendships but none had developed into romances.
Maybe youâre thinking that this is where I say, âWeâll, you can wear it for me mom.â Thatâs exactly what I thought, but I didnât say it. What I did say was, âYouâll find someone mom, and theyâll be lucky to get you.â
She wasnât used to that kind of remark coming from; I was almost surprised to hear it come out of my mouth. She didnât say anything because it looked like she was a bit choked up. She kissed my cheek. She went and put the lingerie in her drawer.
I saw the sheer nylon on her in my fantasy that night, and then I saw her take off her bra and panties so the curves of her body were silhouetted in soft light. Her nipples were evidently large under the gauzy fabric; the darker patch between her legs invited me.
In my imaginings sheâs shy and reluctant and I say to her, âI know you donât think that I should touch you this way mom, but I love you.â I reach under the nylon to take her bare breast in my hand and she sighs, allowing me. And then I touch her in all the places, and then I love her in all the ways I had come to imagine, until I fall asleep, alone.
It was deep into summer and we had spent almost every day of momâs two-week vacation together at the beach, the movies, and at the evening dances at the band shell that was just a few blocks from home. The heat had built up outside and inside of me. By then, I considered my desires as the unfulfillable, nonsensical ravings, of a hormonally charged lunatic.
Lying next to her on the beach didnât help. Yes, I put lotion on her back and no, I didnât rub it on the cleavage that drove me crazy, or the long legs that led to the pussy I wanted to be in. And nothing could keep me from fantasizing as I held her when we danced.
My hand rested as low as it could on the small of her back without actually being on her ass. I inhaled her hair when she rested her head on me during the slow numbers. And how unselfconscious she was when I moved, as her breasts tortured my chest. I tried not to let her feel the swelling in my pants as my thoughts ran away from me to the place where my mother is on the bed and her legs are open and she wants meâŚshe needs meâŚshe begs meâŚ
That night, as I fantasized and stroked myself, I thought of actually going into her room and attempting to seduce her. The small rational part of me that remained, realized that I had no idea how to go about it, and no reason to think that my mother would be in any way receptive to it.
