It started on a rainy day. My last college course of the afternoon was canceled which allowed me to go home early. And to my surprise, when I arrived home, I saw my mother's car parked in the driveway. It was unusual because she was such a busy woman and often worked late.
The house was quiet when I entered through the front door, with the exception of the heavy raindrops falling outside. Mom was nowhere in sight. I figured she must have been in her room upstairs since there were no signs of her except for her shoes, which were neatly placed by the door.
But as I made my way up the stairs, I heard something; a faint noise. It was coming from my mother's room and her door was wide open. She obviously hadn't expected me to be home. I heard it again. Could that noise have been what I suspected it to be? Was she moaning? I was curious what she was up to and if my suspicions were correct. The wind and rain outside were more than enough to cover the sounds of my slow footsteps.
My mother is the prototypical church-mom. Very conservative. Very proper. Devout in every way imaginable. Proudly displays the cross around her neck at all times. She's obsessed with her standing in the community and being involved with all of the religious activities. You get the idea.
I peeked inside her room from the doorway to see my beautiful mom in the most vulnerable position I had ever seen of her. She was laying on her bed, face up, legs spread.
She was completely bare from the waist down. Her pants, pantyhose, and undergarments were scattered on the floor, but her buttoned-up top remained intact. Her hair and makeup were still neat, showing that she just arrived home not too long ago.
But it wasn't just her partial nudity which grabbed my undivided attention, but what she was doing to herself. Her milky white legs were spread wide open and two of her fingers were furiously going in and out of her hairy vagina. She was soaking wet down there, with her fluids brightly glistening along her brown labia and thick pubic hairs.
I was mesmerized by the sight of my once-thought-to-be sexless mother, masturbating herself with such intensity. I couldn't believe how aroused I was becoming just by watching her. I loved the sight of her clenching her eyes shut, which brought out the slight wrinkles on her face, as her mouth was open with her moans escaping. Her chest was moving up and down from her rapid heartbeats. Her legs were slowly moving and her feet were curled up and clenched tight. And of course her fingers; her fingers were still busy at work, taking turns rubbing her clit and fingering her dripping wet vagina.
Mom's pussy was a sight to behold. Despite how she presented herself in public, her pussy was drenched like a porn star's. I wondered what she was thinking about, or if she was usually this wet when she masturbated.
Her feet and toes started moving around even more, and her heart rate climbed even higher- she was reaching an orgasm. Her eyes opened in a flash, and that's when she caught me, lifting her head up to see her son watching her.
"Oh my god!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, with her eyes wide open.
Out of panic, I rushed to my room as she covered herself with a blanket to spare herself any further humiliation.
But that wasn't the end of it, no matter how horrible both of us felt at that moment. She sloppily put her pants back on, still barefoot, and followed me to my room.
"Why aren't you in class?" she asked, fuming and fumbling for the right words to hurl at me. "You... you weren't supposed to see that!"
"It was an accident," I replied, trying to calm things down.
She crossed her arms. "And that makes it okay for you to spy on me?"
"I wasn't spying on you... I was headed to my room..."
"I know you were watching me," she hissed. "God, I can't believe this is happening. I don't know what came over me. I... I don't usually do that..."
The mood in the room suddenly became somber as my mother was now on the verge of tears. Her roots and upbringing had made her feel shame. Even at her age, she still preferred the old customs.
I tried my best to calm her down, telling her, "It's okay, mom. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's normal."
"No, it's not okay. You weren't supposed to see me like that. Just my luck, right? The one day I get to come home early, and this happens."
"It's normal," I repeated, with nothing else to offer.
She took a deep breath, "Please, forget about this. I don't want to talk about this ever again. And I don't want you to think any less of me. Understood?"
"I understand."
Our generational differences were perfectly highlighted. For a woman like her, masturbation was a grave sin. Something never to be done. And sex was something only to be had during marriage.
At the same time, my mother had just been on the urge of a massive, earth shattering orgasm from her own hand.

A professor of mine, Ms. Halper, was a trained psychologist who's an expert in sexuality and repression. She's a genius, but admittedly, it was always hard for me to concentrate in class because of how sexy she is.
During office hours to discuss my research paper, my professor finally asked why I had suddenly become so curious about the topic of repression. We had an informal teacher/student relationship because I've known her for many years, mainly from church, and our community is tightly knit.
She knew my mom well. They worked together on several church fundraisers and community events.
When I finally budged and told her everything - and I mean everything - she pried ever last detail out of me.
"Your own mother?" Ms. Halper chuckled.
I tensed. "My mother isn't that rigid."
"I didn't mean it in a bad way. Frankly, I'm not totally surprised either."
"You're not?"
Ms. Halper shook her head. "Public personas are often different from sexual desires or drive. She was raised in a certain way. I respect that."
"Yeah, that's true. You swear you'll never tell her, right? She'd kill me if she found out."
"Your secret is safe. Unless..."
My professor's voice trailed off and I saw a deviant little expression in her eyes. She was so beautiful that it was hard for me to read her intentions.
"Unless what?" I asked.
"Well, I'm working on a book about this sort of thing. Your mother would be a perfect case study, don't you think?"
I laughed. "She'd never go for it."
"Why not? Your mother has quite the sex drive, if your description of her vaginal activity is any indication."
"I've never heard my mother talk about sex before."
"Maybe I can get it out of her," my professor said confidently.
"You sound sure of yourself."
"I know women a lot better than you do." Ms. Halper gave a sly expression. "It's hard for me to explain, but let's just say that there's more to your mother. Trust me, I see her at church every week."
"I don't get it. What are you hinting at?"
"Call it a working theory ," she replied. "Nothing concrete, but I don't want to talk about it unless I'm certain, and, well, I think she'd be an amazing case study for my book."
"Whatever your theory is, she'll refuse and deny it."
"She doesn't have to know, at least not yet. I'll work my magic on her. Then I'll ask her if I can use the results for my book. Anonymously, of course."
"You're really confident in your abilities," I said.
"I know. And I'm also confident that your mother is what I suspect she is. Trust me, I know women really well. I can sense these things."
There was a sultry look on Ms. Halper's face. I was still confused by all this, though it did sound exciting.
"Whatever you do, leave my name out of it," I joked.
"For now, it'll be our private thing."
"Can you at least give me a hint?"
"Hypno-therapy," she replied, almost proudly. "I've been working firsthand with the people who've created this new treatment. I think your mother would be the ideal candidate for my first attempt at it. It could be a drastic change for your mother, but only with your permission first, of course."
I laughed, thinking it was doomed from the start. "Yeah, sure, why not?"
"Are you sure? Absolutely positive? I'd like to open her up sexually. Are you okay with that?"
The thought of my beautiful mother changing was an interesting thought. It seemed most unlikely, but the idea was interesting. At the very least, I'm sure mom would be happier, that is, if she was even interested at all.
"How sexual?" I asked.
"Depends on what's inside of your mother. One of my specialties is pushing a woman to her limit, in a good way. No, she won't go out and became a stripper or something. I would never do that to anyone. But I want to make her in touch with her inner-self. Would you be okay living with your mother if she was like that?"
Once again, I laughed it off. "Do whatever you want, but she might be really offended if you started asking her about these things."
"I have my ways," Ms. Halper said with a sly expression.
There was a vague tone in her voice. Ms. Halper knew what she was doing. She had the skills.
I tried wrapping my mind around all this, assuming it could actually happen. How would life change if my beautiful mother agreed to all this? I wondered.

Three months had passed. I never asked my professor about it again. I assumed nothing had happened. After all, it all seemed so crazy.
I knew my mother better than anyone else (or so I thought) and I knew that there was no way that anyone could ever get her to discuss sex, not even her closest friends. That just wasn't her style. It wasn't who she was. Mom's reputation and moral beliefs were everything to her.
But one day I came home early and saw my mother's car in the driveway again. It was the same scenario as before, when I had caught her masturbating. The house was quiet and there was no sign of mom in the living room. I made my way up the stairs, praying that mom wasn't masturbating again. The odds of the same thing happening again were slim, but you never know. The last thing anybody needed was another big blowup from an awkward encounter.
Almost out of nowhere, my mother stepped out of her bedroom, having just had a shower. She looked bright and happy. In fact, it seemed like she had a smile glued to her face. She also looked uncharacteristically casual for a woman with her level of class; wearing only a robe, standing barefoot, and her hair was a mess and she didn't have any makeup on as she usually does.
"You're home early," she said with a perky attitude.
"The teacher was sick. You seem like you're in a really upbeat mood today."
"I am, actually."
"Any good news?" I asked.
"Sure, your plan worked."
"My plan?"
Mom smiled, "The plan you've been working on."
