Hi, I'm Amanda.
My parents are hippies. They are very open, accepting and loving.
I'm a 21 years old student, and I could be considered a hippie too. I am vegetarian, wear natural clothes, and try to be loving to everyone around me. And no, I don't keep my body hair shaved. How could I, in a family like mine? My father would not approve. 'Female submission' he would call it.
Now you might think, what business is that of his if I keep my pubic hair trimmed?
Well, I would definitely not be able to hide it. You remember how I told you we are an 'open' family? That includes bodily openness. In my family it is more shameful to try to hide your body than to be naked.
I mean--it's not as crazy as it sounds. It's not like we were nudists or walked around naked all the time. It's only that you're not supposed to be ashamed of your body.
After a shower, for example, it's not uncommon that I walk through the house naked. I don't even think twice about it. That's just one example of a hundred when we would see each other naked; I am not the only person in my family that doesn't mind showing my pubes. Neither do I want to be. I am very happy with the close relationship we have.
Besides, I know it's a turn on for my dad. The way that he spoke about it if it was brought up--and believe me, it was--it almost seemed as if he thought it erased the woman's femininity, like it took away something from her personality, if she would shave.
"I could never make love to a woman that looked like a baby down there," he would say.
He made it very clear how he wanted my mom to be--unshaven. And by extension, how he wanted his daughter to be. With his words, he made sure that both my mom and me had our pussies covered in hair. By now, I even got a pubic hair bush.
I know all my friends shave their pubes off. I have not told them that I don't, but I think they realize it. I'm probably the only girl in the entire school that has a real bush. I don't let it get to me, though.
I know some guys like it, or at least don't mind it. I've had boyfriends in the past. Or, maybe not 'boyfriends' per se, but I'm not a virgin. Not by a long shot. To me, sex is not such a huge deal. I'm not one of the girls that think a woman loses something every time she gives her body to a man. I love sex, and believe the body is there to enjoy.
My parents had brought me up like that, I guess.
"Having your father inside me is the most beautiful feeling I have ever had", my mother once said. This was not said in secrecy. Quite the opposite--it was said at the dinner table, in the presence of my father.
He was not late to add, "And that, Amanda, is something I would never deny you."
Sex, I assumed he meant.
Even for me and my openness, this was a bit much. I felt myself blushing. My mom using words like "your father inside me" made me uncomfortable. I did not want to picture my father having sex with my mother. But now it was impossible not to imagine it: My dad on top of my mom, with horny expressions, pumping his hard dick in and out of her pussy.
Of course, I know how I was made. But maybe I don't need all the details, I thought. Still, the thought did not want to leave my mind: my father's penis in my mothers vagina. Filling her up with cum. I was uncomfortable with the thought. Uncomfortable with the effect it had on me.
I had to stop my thoughts from going any further, and I changed the subject to something about the food we were having.
A while later, the three of us were in the living room talking, and I was telling them about a debate we held in class, about gay rights.
"I for one do not understand them," my father said with a grin. "How can you pass up women?" I guess he has somewhat of a conservative side, after all. He looked at me and continued, "But I strongly believe love is the greatest force of all. Anyone should be able to love and make love to whomever they want."
My mother took his hand and looked proud, "Well said, honey. I agree."
He added "As long as they are consenting adults, obviously."
"Sex, race, who you are or what you do should not matter," my mom said, "what matters is that you enjoy the lovemaking."
"Yeah, I guess that's true," I said, "I wonder why it even matters to someone on the outside if you're having sex with someone you love. That's weird."
My father said, "That's a serious problem." He looked at me and laughed: "But imagine if everyone had to love the same gender! How boring life would be."
I looked at him. I just smiled as a response, but in my mind I began to see my father's penis in my mothers vagina again.
The subject had begun to turn a bit off the main topic, but I didn't want to redirect it. My father had a way of talking that just made your interest in whatever conversation he was having skyrocket. He'd be talking about politics or history, and you'd just want to discuss it and listen to his reasoning. He never tried to force his opinions on you, but instead was open to hear all ideas and perspectives.
I looked at my father and laughed. "You've definitely got a soft spot for the ladies, huh?"
My mother looked at my father, then at me. "Yeah, I think he has an aversion to sex with men."
"You're very perceptive," he replied. "My mind tends to wander if there are any beautiful women around."
"Well," my mom said, "I would imagine that if we tried to force people to love the same gender, it wouldn't be such a good world. I wouldn't mind dating a girl, but I wouldn't want to sleep with her just because I was supposed to. I guess that's how many gays must have been feeling."
"That's probably right," I said.
"And what about you?" My father asked me. "Would you have sex with a woman?"
I looked back at him and thought about it. That was an exciting question. "I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not into the whole thing," I answered.
"Neither am I," my mother agreed. "But I've... Had relationships with women in the past. I mean, I made love to a woman once."
My mother's confession had caused a great shock to me. I thought she and my father were both strict and straight in that regard, like, at least in practice. It was odd to me that my mom would be sleeping with a woman. "Really?" I asked.
"Yes, but it was a one-time thing, a long time ago," my mother said "Before we had you."
I tried to put what she just said together in my head. So NOT before she met my dad? I looked at my dad. Did he know about this, and was okay with it?
He must have read my thoughts, because he said: "Well... we had kind of an open relationship when it came to sex." He looked at my mother. "Or rather, we still do. It was just more active in the past."
It may seem odd, but I had never even considered the possibility. That my parents had been fucking around. Both of them.
