Chapter One - Flashback



               It was a Wednesday, hump day; I remember that was why I agreed to do it. It was sweet and sweaty. He was gentle and asked if I was okay. I remember moaning softly and looking at his face hovering above me. He didn’t look pleased, so I asked him to stop. He pulled himself out of me very slowly, making sure not to hurt me. I asked him what was bothering him; apparently nothing was except my lack of noise. That silly man thought he wasn’t pleasuring me; rest assured I let him know that he was doing everything perfectly with a kiss on his neck followed by a quick bite. He gasped and pushed himself against me, making him go deep within me. This time I did not care about noise control; I moaned and groaned loudly, checking his face every now and again to make sure he was enjoying himself as well. He was a muscular, but not too muscular, 20 year old man. I was a small, petite woman, finally giving it away to a man who knew what he was doing. The thing was, this wasn’t sex, this was love making.
That was the first time I had felt any real connection with another person. I wouldn’t say I wasn’t loved as a child, but I wouldn’t say I was my parents first priority, either, which is why I now have a hard time connecting with people. So, for me, this first real connection sent me into a spiraling whirl wind of confusion, addiction, longing, needing, and desperation. I needed to be with someone, anyone, it didn’t matter who I was desperate, like that again. I was addicted to the feelings I received from him, yet at the same time the feelings confused me. Were these emotions always felt this way? Could I possibly feel them again without being with a man? Would a woman give me better pleasure than a man?
               I was only 17 when I lost my virginity. I was a crazed, sex driven teenager that needed answers, but I had to wait. I was due to graduate in a matter of two weeks and turn 18 three weeks after graduation.

               “Five weeks, Mar. I can do this. Just have to keep my head on straight for five weeks and then I’m out of here.” I told myself Thursday morning before school.
                Thursday night came around. I lay in bed remembering the night before. I want so badly to feel my lover, Jack, again. I know, though, that he will not climb through my bedroom window tonight; tonight he is sitting at a cash register in the gas station on the other side of town. I try to fall asleep, but only toss and turn for hours. My urge to have sex grew stronger and stronger by the second. I want it, now. I couldn’t take it anymore. I got up out of bed and put my pants back on. Quietly, I sneak over to my parent’s room. I hear my father snoring and I know this will not be an easy task, but I know that I must do this. I get on my hands and knees and crawl across the floor, stopping every time my father’s snoring ceases. Finally, I make it to the bed and reach under it. I swing my hand around until I feel the plastic. Relief rushes over me as I think, they haven’t moved the box. Soundlessly, I slide the small, plastic tote out from under the bed and into the hallway. I stand back up, box in hand, and creep back to my room. I flick the lamp on by the bed. I pop the top off the box and there they are. Some have measured ridges, others with random bumps and dots. I can feel my urge getting more intense as I stare into the box. I choose a thick, ridged, blue, vibrating dildo from the box. I know my parents have used them, but not recently. To be on the safe side, I slink to the bathroom with it in my hand and wash it. I arrive back at my room and look at the box, what to do with you in the mean time?  I decide to put it in the closet towards the back until I can put it back under the bed tomorrow. I toss the dildo onto my bed and take off my pants. I start to get back into bed when I realize I should probably remove my underwear as well. I slip them off and get in bed. I lay there. I’m nervous. My urges have changed; no longer am I starved for an orgasm, but now worried and scared.  Should I really do this? Of course I should is how one side of me is feeling, the other side screaming no. Fuck this, my dysfunction is getting the better of me, and fuck me, too!
               No longer caring about being careful, I shove it in me. I let out a small moan as each ridge pushes and massages inside of me. I contemplate turning the vibrating part on, wondering if it will be too loud. After ten minutes of thrusting it in and out I decide to turn it on. Oh my god! Vibration brings on a whole new feeling! I am getting answers to questions and quickly reaching climax. I can’t stop now, my legs jerk and my pelvis thrusts upward, as if to throw the dildo out of me. I reach for it, but I am too late. I spasm and moan; being mindful of the quiet house. Finally, I turn off the vibrator. This orgasm was different, but in a good way. I think to myself. I take it out and put it in a sock in my underwear drawer. I decide to keep it for next time. No one will notice.

Who I Am Not - Epilogue



               I've been doing this for a while and I actually enjoy it. No strings, no attachments, except that one time, but I quickly got over that; he wasn't more important than my freedom. I know it sounds crazy but it’s true, doing this has made me realize a great many things. All of which are good. Well, I take that back, a few things that I have realized aren't good, bad you would say if you're all goodie two shoes, but not me, they aren't bad but they aren't good; mutual, I like that word for this in between. Oddly, that description is perfect for what I've been doing. Mutual. Let's muse over that word for a moment...
               There, we've mused. As you can see I've got little patience for much of anything. If I have any patients at all, it's always up in the air with me.
               Oh, right, I haven't told you what it is that I have been doing. Well, here in the US, we call it being a whore... I don't know about that definition though. That is the definition that someone who wasn't doing what I'm doing came up with. I like to call it experiencing and experimenting. That's all. Saying that I'm whoring around makes it sound nasty and like I'm dirty and have an STD or that I'm a prostitute, both of which are untrue. I am a young woman, 23 to be exact. I shower every day, therefore I am not dirty, but to further prove this, I live in an apartment on the north side of town. I have a steady job as an assistant for McTuran and Holmes. I visit my doctor every six months for my check up and it always ends with good results. I am not what society thinks I am. I am a clean, smart, upper middle class woman who just so happens to enjoy sex and intense emotions received from extreme pleasure from another person, man or woman. I am not gay or a lesbian, nor am I confused. I am bisexual, meaning I feel attracted to both men and women. This does not make me a whore, skank, or a slut; this makes me a bisexual woman.
