As mentioned previously, this is a shorter story with a lot more talk than action. If that's for you, great. If not, I'm certain there are quite a lot more stories in the library. Thanks

"So, Darla... technique?" Lauren asked leaning in.
"Oh don't be silly. I was just. It was just that I, too, like a little tipple. As one does."
"We're aware," Lauren and I answered.
"Funny."
"But, yes, pour me another son." I did. She went on.
"So, I like a glass of wine from time to time. And when I was getting pregnant I knew that I would need to quit for at least a year, right?"
"My developing brain appreciates it," I said.
"So, yeah, no booze, no cigarettes, no drugs-"
"Geez, it's a miracle I was ever conceived," I joked.
"You kid, but no shit." Darla said. "You're lucky. I was a big fan of the... er... process." She smiled. "And enthusiasm in that department helped a lot."
"Ah, so... the technique was lots of banging?" Lauren asked.
"Uh. Okay, so look. I was worried I would slip up while I was pregnant. And Donnie's dad said he wouldn't let me."
"Booze Cop Dad. That sounds fun," I said.
"Yeah, that's what I said. Well, not exactly that way, but yeah. I thought it sounded like a shitty way to spend the next year. He explained, however, that he had something else in mind."
"Do tell," Lauren said.
"Well, he said, what if we make a deal. You know when you want to quit smoking you might start chewing gum, right? Gives you something to do with your hands and your mouth. You sub in one habit for another."
"Okay. So I get that. You chewed a lot of gum, then?"
"No, shithead. Your dad said that since we were trying to have a baby, maybe we should substitute sex for alcohol. Anytime I'm craving a drink, I-"
"Get a dick," Lauren laughed.
"In so many words," she agreed. "But, I told him, no fucking way."
"You have a way with words, mother," I added.
"Damned right," she took another long drink. "So, I told him that that sounded good for him, but it didn't really work for me. See, if we did his little substitution I would need him around every time I might crave alcohol. What happened if he was at work? Or the store? And what if he was less helpful some times than he might be at other times. I mean, I don't want to cast aspersions-"
"Never," I rather snidely answered.
"But, boys don't always have the right goals or the ... I guess, bandwidth... to be a real substitution for a vice."
"Sing it sister," Lauren giggled.
"Gee, thanks," I grumbled.
"Oh, you're amazing, baby," my girl said, "But sometimes you're in a bit more of a hurry than I am. Or maybe I really crave a glass of wine right after we've had a really ... uh... complete... time, right? Then what do I do? Wait 20 minutes?"
"My point exactly," Darla said. "So, I said, the substitution habit would work, but it had to be a little more specific. Orgasms for booze. Crave a drink? Get off. Pretty soon, you're craving orgasms rather than alcohol. And that would keep me sober and help to get me knocked up - at least in the early stages."
"Well, that's a notion," I said.
"Yeah, so, every time I wanted a drink. Before dinner. Watching television. Before bed. At a party-"
"Your hubby got you off?" Lauren asked.
"He sure tried," Mom answered. "Of course, it didn't always work that way, but he had to be okay with me taking things in hand, as it were."
"Well, that makes for an interesting solution," I said.
"I mean, it got a little awkward some times. We had to stop going to bars or parties for a few months-"
"Oh, shit. Do tell," Lauren hunkered in closer.
"Honey, I was getting way too familiar with closets and bathroom stalls there for a while. I mean, look, the pressure to drink in social situations is all good and fine, but trying to find a place to get your wife off in the middle of the Office Christmas Party is not as fun as it might sound."
"I don't know," said Lauren with a bit of a far-off look.
"Okay, so, yeah, that was actually kind of fun. But I was six months pregnant and I can never go back to Brenda Kordmeyer's powder room - or home- again," Mom said seriously. She leaned forward and loudly whispered, "But it was pretty fucking awesome."
The two of them cackled like old friends. It was, I admit, good to see them getting along like pals. Even if it was a little awkward to be talking about my mother's sex life with my braless girlfriend. There were a lot of impulses floating around. I guess luckily, I was stone cold sober. So, that probably made me less likely to say something stupid. Still, that was a lot of sex talk.
Lauren leaned back with her glass and made eye contact with me. She said to Mom, "So, Darla, you're recommending an addiction substitute plan."
"I don't think I'm an add-" I began.
"Dickstitution plan, as it were," she finished.
Darla grinned and said, "Worked for me. I didn't touch alcohol for like 24 months. Of course, I wore out the husband and kept Energizer in business for a long while there."
"You should really go with the plug in varieties. No power loss," Lauren countered.
"Honey, I know. I'm just saying it was a different time. I wasn't, in the early days, as tuned into my options. Of course, eventually I picked up the bottle again."
"Yeah, I suppose so," I mused. "So, I gather that it wasn't a long term satisfying solution."
"Baby boy, it was great. But by the time you were off the teat," she said lifting one of her own boobs this time. "I could have all the orgasms I wanted with all the booze I wanted and we could stop getting tossed out of social situations that your dad felt he couldn't return to."
"I guess I can see that," I said.
I looked over and saw that Lauren had emptied the current bottle into Darla's glass. Mom was looking at me and didn't see that when Laur put the bottle down she reached over and dipped her finger in the drink. Weird.
She then leaned back and with that same finger gently pinched at her left nipple. Well, damn. That's going to provoke a reaction. I mean I know we'd been talking sexy time, but I'd been keeping things under control. Yes, I could see more of Lauren's boobage than was strictly standard for a family visit, but I was trying to not focus below the neck. Now she was manipulating her hardening nipple through a slightly damp shirt. Great. Transparent, erect, and I'm trying to have a mature conversation with my tipsy mother. A bit awkward.
Darla saw that I was distracted and glanced over towards Lauren. Her hand had dropped, but the transparency was still pretty obvious.
Mom chuckled and said, "Lactating Lauren-dear? I had no idea I had that effect on you."
"Awww, I think you're trying to have that effect on me, Darla. I can't help it if it's chilly in here."
"It's chilly," I said "because you've managed to moisten your bits."
"Okay, so moisten is not a fun word," Laur countered, "But I'd say your mom's naughty youth has done the moistening. I mean, don't tell me you aren't a little chubbish hearing about her gettin' busy in the broom closet."
"I'm not going to entertain that. Remember... sober."
"Yeah, I remember. And I'm wondering what sort of fun we'd get up to with her strategy."
"Lots, as I remember," Mom chimed in.
"Lots. Parking and otherwise," Lauren smirked.
"Hey," Darla answered, "I never did it in a parking lot... oh, except... oh, nevermind, yeah, I did do it in a parking lot. Fair point."
We all got a kick out of that.
"So, where haven't you done it, Darla?" my girlfriend joked.
"Hmmm. By 'It' I guess you mean fucking?"
"Mother! Language!" I played for offended family values that we didn't much have, though, to be honest, while Mom was often flirty she was never really this openly naughty around us.
