"All women's dresses are merely variations on the eternal struggle between the admitted desire to dress and the unadmitted desire to undress." (Lin Yutang)
You know, a woman wearing nothing but panties, bras and silk stockings looks sexy; a guy in his socks and underpants just looks ridiculous.
Now I don't know why that should be, but speculating theologically it's just another proof that God is not really just. I mean why the disparity? Why shouldn't a guy look sexy in socks and underpants? It's just not fair, but as someone has said, "Who says life has to be fair."
Now here's another example of injustice; when a guy gets sexually stirred up it's there for everyone to see as the bell tent starts to swell up in his trousers in the region of his groin. With the woman, unless you're really clued up on the more subtle aspects of female arousal, there's nothing to show she's ready for a little conviviality.
No, God is definitely not just. He has scattered his positives and negatives around with complete abandon when it comes to sexual arousal. I mean, a woman can enjoy knowing that she's got you hot for her without there being any indication of how she's feeling, and afterwards she can boast to her girlfriends, "You know, I got him really steaming for me, and I just walked away, ha...ha...ha..."
All right I'm having a gripe, but so would you if you'd had the experience I've had. You could call it one of those accidental historical incidents. I mean, it was something that wouldn't happen in a thousand years -- not in our household at least.

A university lecture got cancelled so yours truly got home early. I was due to go out on a date that evening so I started to change. I'd got down as far as socks and underpants when I recalled that mum had washed and ironed my favourite shirt and it was hanging up in the laundry. All unaware I went to the laundry as I was; that had unforeseen consequences.
That's one side of the equation of chance; here's the other side, except I don't think it was equal.
Mother also had a date and had come home early from the beauty salon she ran, leaving her minions to carry on. Like me she had started to change, and getting down to panties, bras and stockings she decided she would wear her cream skirt with the very sexy white leave-almost-nothing-to-the-imagination blouse she reserved for the dates she hoped would bed her.
The blouse, like my shirt, was residing in the laundry.
Now this is what I'm getting at, this demonstrates how God, Fate, Chance or the universe hands out favours at random.
I'd just plucked my shirt from the rack and I turned to be confronted by mother.
Now let me be clear; if she'd been wearing those awful pantyhose things all might have passed off without difficulty. We both might have been a little embarrassed, but nothing more. I mean, pantyhose are about as sexy as a wet Sunday afternoon in a grimy industrial suburb when you're visiting your Alzheimer inflicted great grandmother.
But mother was wearing sheer silk stockings held up by a suspender belt, plus panties and bras obviously designed by some minimalist minded couturier. The bras that embraced her substantial breasts barely concealed her nipples.
The panties were notable, not so much for what they were, but for what they were not. They seemed to consist of narrow strands of cloth, one of which passed under her crotch, sinking into the firm cleft of her vulva.
I had seen naked females a few times before when I'd been enjoying their favours, but although they had been years younger than mother, none of them had the same impact on me as the scantily clad woman who now stood before me.
For a long time I'd been aware of mother's female attractions, but to see her as she was at that moment held me transfixed. Her luxuriant breasts with their nipples visible though the filmy cloth of the bras; the narrowing of her waist before it gave way to gently curving hips as if to balance her competing breasts, and those silk stockings that seemed to emphasis her long slender legs.
I thought for a moment that I could smell her heady female fragrance through the thin strip of cloth that covered her pudendum, but it was probably overexcited imagination.
Mother seemed to be equally fascinated and I could see her eyes fixed on the embarrassing protuberance growing in my loins. Aware of her intense gaze, and dressed as I was, I felt like a clown who under the impression he was in a circus, instead found himself to be in the midst of a performance of Shakespeare's "Richard the 3rd."
You see what I mean, there was mother looking like every guys fantasy of sexy Bathsheba about to step into her roof top bath, and me feeling like king David but not looking the part (See 2 Samuel 11:2-5).
Funny thing is, mum's name is Bernadette, a bit like Bathsheba, don't you think?
"I-I-I just came t-to g-get my shirt," I stammered as I went to pass her with every intention of retiring to my bedroom to engage in a little self abuse.
What happened next was to change the course of my life.

I have complained about the unfairness of life's handouts, and I still stand by what I have said. On the other hand I have to admit that Fortuna sometimes comes up with a double six. As mother and I stood face to face in the laundry Fortuna rolled the dice my way.
As I passed her mother caught hold of my underpants and said, "Just a minute."
"Aah...er...yes?"
"I think we might have some business to attend to," she said, her green eyes staring into mine.
"Her-have we?"
Now mother is an extremely forthright person and expects others to be the same. I'd always been used to that aspect of her character, but what she said next nearly floored me.
"How long have you fancied me?"
"What?"
"Adrian, it was a perfectly plain question and deserves an equally plain answer; how long have you wanted to fuck me?"
That sort of jolted the answer out of me.
"Ser-since I was a-about fer-fourteen."
"Then why the hell didn't you say so you stupid boy?"
"But yer-you're m-my mer-mother."
"What the hell has that got to do with it?" she said angrily. "Do you realise for how many years I've spent evenings with bloody idiots just so I could get a...and you...I could have had it with all the comforts of home. Don't you ever think of anybody but yourself, do you ever consider me -- what I might want?"
"Ber-but I ner-never knew you..."
"No, of course not, you were too concerned with those girls and that widow in the next street."
"I didn't..."
"Don't bother to deny it, everybody in the neighbourhood knows about you and Mrs. Drummond. God knows what you see in her; she's at least fifteen years older than me. Well go on; tell me, what is it about her?"
"She...er..."
"Oh never mind, I know the story; the older woman, experienced, gives as much as she gets, if not more. I suppose I'm too young for you?"
"No...no...but you're my..."
"Mother, yes; but I'm not suffering from an identity crisis so you needn't keep telling me I'm your mother."
"But what..."
"But what....but what..." she mimicked. There's no "but what" about it. I fancy you like hell and that thing that's sticking out tells me you fancy me so...are there any questions?"
"No, but...ouch..."
She had continued holding on to my underpants but now she pulled the down to somewhere round my knees, and then taking hold of my penis she had jerked its foreskin back with considerable violence.
"I'll teach you to neglect your mother and go off sniffing round old widows," she muttered.
"But I didn't go sn...ah..."
She had shoved my back against the washing machine moving it slightly on its castors and then pulling aside the strand of panty cloth that passed over her pudenda she had impaled herself on my penis.
I felt the head of my penis pass over her pubic bone and enter the soft wet depths beyond. She dropped down hard on me and I felt the head of my penis ram up against the top of her vaginal canal.
From being aggressive she suddenly went limp and I put my arms round her to support her.
"Oh God," she whimpered, "I didn't realise you were so b...aaah...oh my darling...kiss me..."
I kissed her but it didn't last long because she broke from the kiss moaning, "I can't hold it back...I'm coming darling...I'm coming..."
She tensed again and started to bounce up and down on me while I did my best to help her, my hands under her buttocks, lifting and dropping her."
