This story draws on a conversation 'driving home from the
Cartwrights' I sketched several years ago, forgot, partly used in
"Coupled," then forgot again. I'm embarrassed to see I used some
of it here too. With a different POV and leading elsewhere, but
still, if a few lines of dialogue early in this story seem a little
familiar, that's why.
That's not why, as some observe, my other stories also somewhat
resemble each other. The reason for that is, I like them that way.
Dream Vacation
by Vickie Tern
i.
Karen surprised me. We were driving home from the Cartwrights,
we'd met them at an art gallery opening and then stopped by their
house with a few other people afterward for a drink. Nice people,
we'd enjoyed the conversation and all. A sociable evening, like
many. So I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
Karen suddenly turned and said to me in an unexpectedly sprightly
tone of voice, "Dan, you really do like pretending you're a girl,
don't you?"
"What?" I replied. I couldn't think of anything else to say. It
was true, in a way. But how did she know?
"Oh, sweetie, don't worry, I think it's sweet. I mean, feeling
curved and pulchritudinous. Attractive in a feminine way, you
know, imagining you have breasts and hips and can make attractive
girlish moves and gestures and all." She paused. "Trying on my
clothes to see if they help. Using my make-up. True?"
If it weren't dark she would have seen my face go deep red. She
knew! How had she found out? Had I slipped up anywhere? But our
marriage was built on honesty. Neither of us felt bound to tell
each other the whole truth about anything, that would be
insensitive, tactless, sometimes risky. But we never lied or left
wrong impressions uncorrected. I couldn't deny it.
"I guess I do," I said, stalling. I was staring at the road ahead
and driving very carefully. As if I expected the sky to fall in.
"Like tonight. There were all those husbands talking about
somebody or other top-seeded in the semi-finals of something or
other, and meanwhile the wives are describing Helen's Versace and
wondering whether sequins are coming back for formal wear, and when
Beth will finally leave her husband. And who do you choose to be
with?"
"The wives."
"Because?"
"I like the way women talk. They share. Men can get pretty
pompous when they aren't actually bullying each other."
"And?"
"OK, yes, I like what women talk about too."
"Yes, you do. And it shows. You join right in with us. A few
women congratulated me tonight for having a husband who's so
knowledgeable about things we care about. About style, for
example. 'He must be a great help when you're putting together an
outfit,' that's what Maureen told me during when you went to
refresh some of the women's drinks. I had to agree. I told her
I'd intended to wear pearls tonight but you thought this silver
choker was much more appropriate, and everyone agreed you were
right. I'm sure they envied me."
"So you surmise from that kind of conversation that I want to be a
girl?" I tried to sound incredulous.
"No, not exactly. That you like to imagine that's what you are.
That you like getting dolled up and letting the mirror persuade
you. Because it feels sexy to be inside a girl when that girl is
you. Am I wrong?"
I swallowed. No lies between us, ever. "No, Karen, you're not
wrong." Then tried to swallow again. She nodded and looked
triumphant. No, not triumphant, just pleased. I'd confirmed what
she already knew, and honesty had triumphed. I cleared my throat,
then asked, "How long have you suspected this?"
"How long have I suspected? Oh, honey, for years and years! How
long have I known for sure? Well, I'm ashamed to say I began
setting little traps fairly early, leaving out certain items of
clothing, certain shades of makeup I thought might appeal, and then
later I'd always see they'd done just that. I've always thought it
was a lovely hobby, and harmless enough, so I've done everything I
could to try to help you without embarrassing you."
"You've been helping me?"
"Of course! Don't be such a silly! Do you think it's accidental
that my dresses and undies and all fit you so well? Remember when
we put ourselves on that crash diet and you lost forty pounds and
me ten, and we ended up nearly the same size? The same dress size
I mean? Well, after that I could buy skirts and blouses and bras
and panties, all sorts of things for both of us to wear. I stowed
yours up front in my drawers and my closet where you couldn't miss
seeing them, and the ones I wanted for me alone way back. It was
fun! Like buying for a daughter or for a really dear friend's
birthday! We've been sharing our clothes for a long time now."
She was right. I was certainly embarrassed now. Talk about
"Busted!"? I couldn't say anything for a while. Then I managed to
mutter, "That was considerate of you, Karen. I've loved wearing
them. Though I've always felt guilty about it. Thank you."
"You're very welcome, love. I have something else to confess, too.
You remember all those weight-loss pills you've been on, how you
lost weight but also started getting soft here and there, so you
wanted to join a gym and do workouts? And I persuaded you not to
worry, that I liked you soft, so I steered you to my Yoga class so
you'd stretch your tendons instead of beef up your muscles?"
"So instead of getting buff I got limber. Yes. But I stayed soft.
Even got a little softer. I don't know why."
"Yes. You're better than soft, you're actually curvy here and
there. Distinctly, some places. I like it. You don't?"
"I do notice that some parts of me look a little ... well, more
like you than me."
She glanced at me. "Well, I should hope so. When you try on your
panty hose these days -- and I know you do -- aren't you impressed
that your legs have gone glamorous?"
I was silent. I had noticed. They were altogether satisfactory,
my gams. I loved them looking that way. "My calves look like a
woman's, that's true," I said finally. "The way they curve down to
a narrow ankle."
"And look like dynamite under a skirt, in high heels, right?"
What could I say? Uncomfortably I confessed it. "Yes. Dynamite."
"But only you ever get to see them, and that's a terrible pity.
Then there are your breasts. You're a B cup now, aren't you?"
Now that was really embarrassing. I glanced at Karen -- she was
looking at me with the widest-eyed, most accepting expression I'd
ever seen on her face. Waiting for a reply. "Well, all right,
Karen, yes, I do borrow your bras. And the way my pectoral muscles
sag these days I guess I do fill them. But even so, your breasts
are way bigger than my pitiful excuses for ...."
"Oh they aren't at all pitiful, they're darling! They're coming
along beautifully! And I have news for you. I'm not a B cup, I'm
a C cup, I have been ever since my teens. Those are your bras
you've been borrowing from my undies drawer, not mine. I got them
just for you. And it isn't just your pectoral muscles that are
sagging. You've been wearing B cup bras for months now, because
for months now you've had a lovely B cup chest. You may end up a
C cup like me, but that we won't know for a while yet."
"I have breasts?!"
"Honeybun, calm down. You know you do, every time you lean forward
and see then sagging straight down, and then catch them in your bra
cups and hook up so they'll stand straight out the way a woman's
should. You have a perfectly respectable figure, and perfectly
appropriate boobs, even if they are still a bit small for your
chest. Narrow hips, true, but a marvelous tush nowadays -- you
never get to see those globes from the rear when you're naked and
wiggle-waggling down the hallway, poor dear. But I do. Sooo
seductive! Do you think I've never noticed?"
I had nothing to say.
"Moreover, you know your body's been changing, and I know you like
those changes. Because they're making you look more and more like
a girl, and that's what you've dreamed of. And that's satisfying
even though you don't understand it. You may even be in denial
that anything's happening. Did you think you were imagining it
all?"
"Well, yes, in a way, I ...."
"That's why we're talking about it now finally. Honey, your
birthday is coming up soon. Your last birthday I was racking my
brains to think of a really fabulous present for you, something to
really express how much I love you and at the same time give you
the greatest possible enjoyment. I decided then to get you a whole
wardrobe of women's clothes of your very own, and a whole day's
makeover at Sally's, Then finish up with a long weekend at a
resort hotel in the mountains, so for a few days at least you'd
feel free to go everywhere looking really fabulous. That was how
I was going to let you know that I know all about your hobby and
that I don't mind it, that in fact I find it flattering. That it's
nothing for you to worry about ever again. That I want to help you
with it!"
I looked over at her. She looked back at me, loving and utterly
reassuring. Smiled at me and reached over and began stroking the
back of my neck. "My sweetie!" she said. "My darling Danny.
Then she took a breath and continued. "But I knew you'd never
accept a present like that! Not that you wouldn't love it, but you
simply wouldn't allow yourself. That male shame thing would
interfere. You'd think I was humiliating you, that I was
condescending, humoring you, thinking the less of you. Sweetie, I
don't think the less of you, I think all the more of you! Because
after all, you want to know more about what it's like to be ... say
... me. And you're courageously trying to do just that, risking
exposure and shame and everything. That's true, and I admire you
for it!"
I drove on. This was all welcome news, liberating in a way. But
then she dropped the other shoe.
"It's also true that I've had to think different thoughts about you
ever since I found out for certain about your ... habit. Ever
since I first noticed that you use my make-up sometimes -- that was
my first clue. It's true that I no longer can think of you as a
man. Oh, don't be terrified, I know you're still partly a man.
But obviously there's also a girl inside you trying to get out, and
that's so marvelous, to know that I'm partly married to a girl!
I'd love to live with her too, do daily things with her -- have
breakfast, shop, go to the movies, everything. You know. I've
felt such sympathy for you, for both of you, because you've been so
... ashamed of her, so fearful she'll be found out. I felt so
helpless sometimes."
True enough. I did feel ashamed and fearful, both of those things,
often. Especially now, now that I'd been found out.
"So you know what I did last year just before your last birthday?
I asked Dorrie what she thought about it all, she's had experience
in these things, being a marriage counselor and everything."
My hair rose and I cringed, horrified, though still looking
straight ahead at the road. "You told Dorrie? Dorrie knows about
me? My dressing up to look like ...? Karen, how could ...?"
"No, listen, Dorrie told me how to solve your problem beautifully.
Just listen. There's this private clinic or club she knows about,
really sort of a resort hotel people can go to, or get sent, for a
kind of mixed therapy and learning experience and luxury vacation.
She thought it would be perfect for you. So I inquired, but it
seems they don't accept anyone there until they've been properly
prepared. All their guests need preliminary attention of a kind
that takes about a year. So their stay can mostly put the
finishing touches on what's already happening. Bring it into full
bloom, so to speak. That's why instead of a women's wardrobe I
gave you golf clubs. You remember? A whole set? You thought I
was being so thoughtful and that they proved how much I love you
and everything, you were so delighted?"
There was a lump in my throat. "I remember," I said.
"But I love you a lot more than that. That was the present you
knew about. The one you didn't know about was much bigger, baby.
This place, this kind of hotel, gave me some very specific
instructions how to prepare you for your ... time there, and
referred me to people who could help, apart from Dorrie I mean.
Help locate and strengthen the girl in you, I mean, so she'll feel
more comfortable when she emerges, if that's what she wants to do.
I followed their directions exactly. You've been on full doses of
female hormones for a whole year now! That's why your body's been
changing so marvelously! There's a whole new you getting ready to
be reborn!"
She sat back, looking pleased. Her delicious secret was out at
last.
But I was stunned! Almost rigid! I'd fantasized about going on
hormones now and then, of course, changing my body and developing
tits and everything, what crossdresser hasn't? So my clothing --
all those bras and blouses and so on, they really are my clothing,
that's what she said? -- all that stuff would fit me properly. But
to do it? To have it done to me without my even knowing? My body
transformed into ... a girl's? Made literally, physically ...
effeminate?
I couldn't think of anything to say! I began to feel a little
sick. The car lurched, so I concentrated and drove it more
carefully, a little slower. Thank God we were already most of the
way home..
"That's what this vacation resort requires, honey, a full year on
female hormones before they'll accept you as their ... guest.
Dorrie told me she sent her husband to this place some time back,
and she's absolutely convinced that it saved their marriage. He
used to be a pompous bully, she said. And even though she's a
marriage counselor and a psychologist and everything, and she's
saved hundreds of marriages, she was getting ready to divorce him.
But instead, she sent him there and now they couldn't be closer."
I had to say something. I cleared my throat. "She sent him away
and now they're closer? Dorrie lives with her ... that's her
girlfriend, or her cousin or something, isn't she? Dorrie isn't
married. I don't get it."
"That's the way he came back to her."
"Which was?"
"As a complete woman. As her dearest girlfriend. Her one true
love. You should see them nowadays, always together, they're
inseparable in fact, forever consulting each other about
everything. Touching and nibbling at each other all the time,
practically plastered together. Wearing his and her dresses and
his and her lipstick and shoes, and everything. They even go out
on his and her dates!"
"His and her dates? With each other?"
"Of course with each other. Their guys pick them up at the same
time and then they're two couples together for dinner and dancing
and so on. They separate for a time toward the end of the evening
of course. Each to his own, and her own, and so on. To have fun.
They get adjoining hotel rooms for privacy for an hour or so,
sometimes all night, and then when they get back home they have so
much more that's new and wicked they can talk about with each
other!"
This sounded appalling. Frightening. "What did they do to
Dorrie's husband in this ... vacation club?" I asked her gingerly.
"They fulfilled his fondest dreams. Dorrie explained it to me.
Some men would love to be women and live their lives as women, or
anyhow live as women now and then, but they just ... can't get over
the shame of it. They think silly thoughts like, 'It isn't manly.'
Well, duh, but even so, that keeps them in denial. So some of them
overcompensate and become bullies, they go way to the other
extreme, they think that's being manly. That was Dorrie's husband.
Others, instead of fessing up and acknowledging that they want to
be girls, they sneak around in their wife's borrowed clothes and
try to imagine they're the real thing, but never really live it.
Never become the real thing quietly and proudly as their
birthright. Guess who that sounds like!"
I remained altogether unresponsive.
"It is your birthright, you know, honey. Transvestites and
transsexuals and so on, all transgendered people, you're all born
that way, you know? You don't become what you are at first, no
more than people who're born all girl or all boy. You start out as
what you seem to be, what seems to fit your body even though it
doesn't exactly fit your mind. Then you find out what you'd rather
be and try to fill in along the way."
She paused. "That's you. You sneak around in my clothes too,
don't you? Except that what you think are my clothes are really
yours."
It was long past time to break in on Karen's ... well-meaning
intentions! She was making far too much of this! I had to end it!
Hormones or no hormones! My God, tits or no tits!
"Honey, I don't want to be a woman!" I said it as emphatically as
I could without turning to face her.
"Of course not, baby. But you love imagining it so you can live it
as if you did want to be one. Not just now and then but as often
as you can, and you know that's true. The problem is, it doesn't
seem natural to you, it all seems so very exotic and different and
strange as well as shameful. So this place Dorrie recommended
makes it all seem easy, perfectly natural, no big deal, and no
shame attached to it at all. They make changing your gender so
easy that her husband decided for himself that he wanted to live as
a woman full time, not change back again ever. Most of their
guests decide the same thing, she says."
"Most?" Now I was really fearful. What did Karen have in mind for
me? "Has it occurred to you that this private vacation club of
Dorrie's must really be some kind of brainwashing laboratory, if
most of the men who go there return as women full time? What drugs
do they use? What hypnotherapies? What kind of conditioning do
these men go through that they all end thinking they want to be
women?"
Karen began to sound a little impatient. As if I was being
impolite, ungrateful. "Dear, they don't all think they want to be
women! I mean, a lot of them do go ahead and get themselves
castrated and get their genitals changed into vaginas and so on.
The way they make vaginas these days you can't tell what's born
from what's made, Dorrie tells me. Her husband's for instance ...
the first time a man actually put his finger onto the mini-clit
they left him, and stroked it, and then slipped it into the slit
there, it actually started to lubricate, would you believe it?
Just like any woman's. And his first visit to his gynecologist
...? But even those men ... well, my point is, most men who
vacation there don't end up as women, they only end up living like
women. They still think they're men in some ways, but men who are
living the full lives they've only dreamed of living before."
"That's reassuring," I said with a certain irony. Karen didn't
seem to notice.
"A few really stubborn cases actually return as men. Sort of. Not
many. It's true that after the treatment they've received they
don't have much talent for masculinity any more, nor desire for it
either. It isn't easy once you've changed your looks and your body
and your voice and your desires and habits and so on. But some do
insist, so that's how they end up. What's the word they use these
days for men who carry purses and use makeup and have arched
eyebrows and beautiful grooming, but still like to call themselves
men? Oh yes, they're 'metrosexual,' that's how they end up."
"Hmmmp!" was all I could say. What I was thinking was, that's how
men emerge from this so-called vacation? As women or as faggots?
I suppressed a gleam of envy and hunkered down into all the manhood
I could muster. Not for me!
Karen got serious. "Honey, listen! The thing is, the doctors
there tell me that men who sometimes dress up like women are one
thing, and men like you who dress up at every opportunity and
prefer being with women, not men, they're something else. They're
really different. They may actually really be women underneath,
but afraid to let it out even to themselves. I've suspected for
some time that's you, honey. If it is, then as they say, you
should let it out and be yourself!"
Now I was seriously worried. What was Karen cooking up for me?
There was a teeny submissive streak in me that loved being
overwhelmed by my own femininity, that gloried in it, that even
loved hearing what she was saying. I knew that. But that wasn't
most of me!
"There are ways to tell in advance what a man will choose, they
told me. The easiest comes during their year of hormone therapy.
As their bodies change slowly, those who will choose to be women
gradually feel more authentic, more feminine. More whole. So the
rule for wives and girlfriends -- sometimes sisters and mothers --
is, don't tell them they're on the same hormones that flow through
you. Just do it. When a man would rather live as a woman but
feels ashamed of it, he'll notice the changes but won't acknowledge
them, not to themselves nor to anyone else. He'll like what's
happening and be grateful that it's happening and he'll enjoy it
secretly as a kind of miraculous gift. Like you."
"Like me?" I was afraid I understood what she meant.
"I mean, look at you, sweetie. It's nearly a year since I started
you on those womanizing hormones, and now you have B cup breasts
and protruding nipples -- don't deny it, I've seen them! -- and
curvy legs. And that simply gorgeous tush -- you really must get
a peek at it some time, honey, you'll be so pleased with it. I'm
really envious, it's crying out to be seen in a bikini! Anyhow,
you've been enjoying it all, feeling grateful that your clothes fit
better and you look more feminine and so on, and yet you haven't
said a word about it. Not a word. Certainly not to me. Danny,
for real now! Isn't that true?"
It was. I hesitated, then came out with it. "I ... Karen, I was
ashamed. I thought you'd be repelled that I was losing my ...
masculine shape. That my chest wasn't a six pack wall any more,
but instead I had ... pointy nipples and was beginning to sag.
That I filled your bras pretty full. My bras. I kept hoping that
with a little exercise ...."
"You see? Was I right? You like looking more womanly, but at the
same time you're afraid to look less manly. So you're ashamed of
your own body. Talk about hangups? That's what we have to break
through. Honey, I love what's been happening to your body! That's
why I've been encouraging it! Down underneath I know you love it
too! And exercise isn't what matters, the kind of exercise is what
matters. You've been getting a lot at our Yoga sessions, that's
why you've been developing a svelte, toned body, why you look more
like a ballerina than a body builder! Do you think I haven't been
noticing? I have been! And I love it!"
I didn't know what to say. Karen has her enthusiasms, and when she
fixes her mind on something, that's that, she doesn't ever let up.
And in fact she was half right. I did like ... pretending that I
have a woman's body, and I have been pleased that lately it's been
seeming ... more so. And I've always loved dressing as a girl,
looking like one, ever since I was a teenager. Even doing those
jazzercises at the Y with a roomful of housewives, the class
peppered with a few gays and a few teenage kids there to stare,
I've loved noticing that my figure had gotten more feminine than
many of the others. I've been ashamed to see it, but I loved it
anyhow, I couldn't help but. I was always a pleased when other
women in the class noticed and said something, even though it
mostly embarrassed me. I mean, I think girls are great! I admire
them, their looks, the way they move, their ... appeal. Everything
about them! I do love girly things. That's why I fell in love
with Karen to begin with, and that's why I just had to live with
her, to care for her, to marry her. Because she is herself so very
feminine.
"Honey, give up. Don't deny it. You want to be more of a girl and
that's what I want for you too. It'll probably mean a few
adjustments when our lives when you get back. Different friends
maybe, maybe even a different kind of job, though I've talked with
both your bosses, with Cathy and with her boss, that Ms. Carstairs,
and neither of them see a problem."
"You told people at work that I'm a crossdresser? You actually
...?" I was shocked. How humiliating! How could I ever hold up
my head there ever again? "Karen, that was absolutely ...!"
"Oh, pooh! Stop it! To begin with, you don't need to work -- we
have your inheritance and my salary, and that's enough for us.
Besides, Honey, I told them a year ago, when we first started you
on those hormones and you started blossoming out so beautifully!
I've heard lots of comments, and they're all favorable. Did you
think women don't notice changes in a man's complexion when it
begins looking like a woman's? Or in the line under his chin?
Don't notice smudged make-up on days when you couldn't resist and
tried some on before leaving the house in the morning, then forgot
you were wearing it? That's why I've been preparing you all year
for this year's wonderful birthday present, your vacation at this
place Dorrie recommends. That's why I've been planning it for so
long! So when you emerge you can be completely yourself whenever
you wish, all the time if that's what you wish. So you'll never
feel ashamed of yourself again! That's guaranteed, the doctors are
quite certain of it. Moreover, they guarantee that we'll be as
intimate and loving as ever when you come back. Not in all the
same ways, but even more so in some. Because we'll be sharing so
many more things, and understanding each other's desires so much
more completely..
"I see." I didn't know what I saw, but I had to say something.
Karen was on a roll and I hadn't yet found a way to slow her down.
"As I say, there may be a few changes in our relationship,
depending on how you ... adjust to yourself. If so, then, well,
we'll see then what we need to do. We'll deal with it."
We arrived home. I pulled into the driveway, turned off the
engine, and now, finally, at last, I was free to turn and face
Karen. This was serious. Time to return her to reality. "Karen,
listen," I said. "If you think ...."
She didn't listen. Nor pause to think. She just ran right on.
"Oh, honey, I just want you to live your dream. Of course you feel
ambivalent about it right now, that's part of the problem, isn't
it? But when you return you'll find you don't mind what's happened
at all, that in fact you love it, that it's wonderful. I guarantee
you that. You'll fulfill yourself and come back to me a new man,
partly a woman, maybe even completely a woman, a new woman.
That'll be entirely up to you. What matters is that you'll be
happy and you'll feel that you're completely yourself. And that's
all I want. I'll want you and love you and be happy for you any
which way."
There was no stopping her. "We'll talk more about this when we're
in the house," I said, trying to force a gentle tone into my voice.
I sounded gruff anyhow, even severe. But I knew I had better take
charge and right now, or this whole thing would run its course like
a runaway train. "I appreciate that you have my best interests at
heart, Karen, my supposed best interests, but what you.... There
are .... I ...."
I couldn't go on. Talk about feeling torn between all sorts of
cross-purposes? I sat for a moment, then opened the car door and
got out.
And glimpsed shadows moving swiftly, though I couldn't discern what
they were. Suddenly I felt myself gripped firmly, half-lifted off
the ground. And my sleeve slid up, and a wet chill on my arm, and
then a pinprick.
"Ah," someone said. A man's voice. "Lovely! I was afraid we'd
gotten here too early, or too late, or something. But here you
are, right on time, sitting in the car and waiting for us just as
your wife told us we'd find you."
I heard another, a more gentle voice, a woman's voice, tell Karen,
"It's best if you don't follow us back to the clinic, ma'am. He'll
be fine. She'll be fine soon enough. Trust us. Dr. Matthews will
call you in the morning to set up a visitation schedule. I suggest
you say goodbye to him now. It may be some time before you next
...."
My mind heard, but I couldn't make myself move. I felt lips press
against mine. Soft lips. Karen's. I heard her soft voice,
"Goodbye, sweetheart, and hello my new sweetheart! Happy birthday,
my sweet love!" Then nothing. I didn't mind, I felt warm. At
peace.
ii.
The first thing I noticed when I came to consciousness was the
smell of flowers everywhere -- no, not of flowers exactly, if they
were flowers my old allergies would have been triggered and my nose
would have crinkled into a sneeze. It was a pale, sweet, flowery
perfume, so seductive, so sumptuously provocative, promising ...
what? Coming from where? My eyes were still shut, and as I
stretched out I realized I wasn't on a bed but some sort of padded
floor. Soft, warm, and satiny, lying against pillows here and
there. Firm warm pillows. That I was wrapped, surrounded, plumped
up and supported by pillows. Swathed in smooth, soft ... no, satin
and nylon never felt this smooth, not even Karen's panties and
slips, the undergarments I loved, though her pussy lips did.
Everything felt more softly compliant, more yielding and supple,
warm, puffy with only a hint of solidity underneath.
It was skin. I was lying against smooth, satiny ... skin. My head
rested on someone's soft ... tummy! My mouth was filled with -- my
God was it a breast? My tongue flicked it to be sure -- yes, a
nipple! A woman's skin and breast and ...! What woman...? Women!
My hand rested on what felt, had to be, a smooth, soft, satiny
derriere, and another seemed to be snugged into my hip, all warm
and comfy, as if it were a part of me. I reached down to be sure
and ran my palm over a curve in the body pressed against me. Yes,
there it was, that marvelous familiar curve women have from their
waists and then up over their hips to their languorous thighs!
No, this wasn't Karen's hip, the curve was longer! Where am I?
Karen will kill me if she ever finds me with this other woman!
Music? Yes, I hear strings and woodwinds somewhere, new age
chords, sounds that seem to go on forever, extending and never
developing. Do I? Where am I? How did I get here?
I opened my eyes and saw salmon colored satin wall hangings. A
huge vase of flowers a little distance away, near what might be an
opening to a corridor. I was in a wide, silken conversation pit,
sort of, filled with bodies. There was white and pink flesh
everywhere. And breasts, and pussies both hairy and clean as a
baby's. And twats and thighs and legs and bellies, red-dotted here
and there with toenails and fingernails and lips. And darkened,
smudged eyes. One girl's dark eyes looking down on me mildly --
her red lips blew me a reassuring kiss when she saw my eyes open
and looking at her. Joanna, my special girlfriend. She was
leaning over me, hers was the breast in my mouth. Another breast
ripe in my hand, the one near my hip. Soft buttocks pressed were
against my back, another girl's. And mouths were nursing on each
of my own breasts. My wonderfully opulent breasts. Two
long-haired blonde women nursing on me, their faces pressed against
me, their hair sprawled everywhere over me, covering my smooth skin
like a blanket.
"What the..." But my mouth was filled to overflowing by that
breast, no room for my tongue to move. A soft body was lying on me
as I lay face up on those others. Smooth, creamed, silky ...
Another girl came into my field of vision and spoke softly to me.
Her eyes held mine and never left them. "Sweetheart, Diana, if you
don't mind, would you sit up and brush out my hair for me? Then
I'll brush out yours."
She thinks I'm ... Is that who ... I'm ... Diana? Isn't 'Diana' a
girl's ... I'm her sweetheart? No, she's just being affectionate,
it's only a manner of speaking. She's handing me ... a hairbrush.
I better sit up.
"Yes, of course, Marnie." Was that flute-like voice mine? Yes,
the words had come out of my mouth. I knew her? I knew her name,
certainly.
"Afterward if you'll help me with these rollers I'll help you with
yours. Your hair does look so much nicer with those highlights in
it, Diana. I told you it would and it does. We were so right to
insist!"
I felt a surge of pride, of helpless satisfaction. So sweet! "I
can't wait to see," my flute voice informed her. "You were such a
dear to help me persuade them! I'm so grateful!"
What was this talk? These pleasantries! Who was she? Who am I?
I sat up. The heads nursing at my breasts disappeared, and
momentarily I felt their loss. Then Marnie wriggled her way
closer -- how did I know her? -- and I began removing large rollers
from her hair, my fingertips with their elongated red nails -- red
nails? -- deftly undoing the clips and unspooling each roller from
her head. I'd done this before, and often. When the last one was
gone I smiled at her and turned my back and she undid the rollers
in my hair.
I'd told them I wanted to try a bouffant style even though they
were no longer fashionable, and that was just what the rollers
would confer one on me. For now, anyhow. Call it play time --
tomorrow I'd get a more sensible style, gracefully long and
flattering and still quite feminine but more easily cared for.
More presentable.
She brushed and brushed and there, at last, a cloud of hair crowned
my head! It was ... well, I'd wanted it bouffant back when they
were still fashionable, I recalled, when I was still a boy looking
enviously at all the girls who had them. But back then I still
thought I was masculine, had to be masculine. I even got a
crew-cut once back then. Now, no chance of that happening ever, I
loved my long, full hair! This was the very last of my heart's
desires I'd be granted, that's what they'd told me. My lovely wife
Karen was soon coming to take me home with her. I'd slept with all
my girlfriends for the last time, and we'd played with each other
as girls will for the last time, our fingers and noses and bumps
and clits and lips and tongues all into and onto each other's
bodies everywhere they could go. We'd given each other pleasure
and we'd fingered and caressed each other's orifices for the last
time.
It was sort of sad. That dark-eyed girl Joanna and all the other
girls I'd been sleeping with, among, on, all around, all the
feminine flesh I'd tumbled with in sensuous disarray until I
couldn't tell where they ended and I began, we'd all -- well,
they'd all move on to help some other disoriented girl find herself
at last. They were staff. I was their guest. Special, but only
a visitor, and the time had come for me to leave them, to try to
live as if I were one of them but with only one other woman, with
my beloved wife. The woman who'd sent me here. We all appreciated
each other and we were all were fond of each other, but my wife and
I, well, we loved each other, and that made us special.
I didn't feel I was any different from any of the other women in
the room. We were always naked and eager for sex with each other,
to rub against and into each other's folds and wet places. They
always made sure I felt like one of them, because I was one of
them. For weeks and months we'd tumbled all over each other like
puppies, never out of each other's sight or touch and feel. We'd
helped each other dress and make up our faces every morning, and
then we'd go down together for breakfast giggling and telling each
other silly stories.
I'd miss them, my girlfriends, my dear, lovely companions. But I'd
always known I was a little bit different from them. My dearest,
special, dark-eyed darling Joanna set down her own hair brush and
came around in front of me. I looked at her lovingly.
"Diana," she said to me. "Think of the many months you've been
here as something you did when you were a little girl. A long
pajama party maybe, one that's gone on and on. You needed to know
what kind of person you were so they put you in with us, and we've
had such good fun, all of us. We've all been wonderfully happy
being girls together. We've licked and sucked and pushed into each
other everywhere we could with whatever we had, all over, our lips
on each other everywhere all the time, until you couldn't begin to
imagine you weren't one more of us."
She was right. I was one more of them, it would be silly to think
I wasn't!
"So that's what you've become. One of us. Like all of us. And
believing that's what you are, you now behave just as if you were.
You now look as lovely as any of us, and you keep yourself that
way, and you're as graceful and delicate in your motions and
thoughts as any of us. You'll be a marvelous lover and friend and
helper for your dearly beloved wife Karen. She's coming today to
take you home with her so the two of you can resume your marriage,
so you can be one flesh with her. But this time you'll know who
you are and what you've always known you wanted to be. We all wish
you a long, happy life with her."
And she kissed me. Her pearl pink lips pressed against mine. So
sweet. And once again as so often before she reached down and
clasped my breasts, one in each hand, and cupped them and held them
and felt for my nipples with her thumbs and fondled them. And once
again I melted into a small puddle and moaned, then swooned. She
felt for my cock and without hesitation it grew softly larger.
Pump after pump inside her soft fist and I came and came, throbbing
over and over into her beautiful hand. Then she lifted that soft
palm of hers and fed me the whole puddle of ejaculate. All of it.
Yum! So sweetly salty and so creamy yet clear! "You love the
flavor now, don't you," she commented as she watched me lick her
palm, then my own lips. "The way we all do."
"Oh yes!" I said. Because there was nothing else to say. It was
true. Mine and any man's.
"Men taste like that," Joanna'd reminded me. "Other men maybe a
little stronger, because it's more cloudy, because there are still
lots of teeny sperms swimming around in theirs."
"I know." I did know. Mike and Pete and Kevin had all tasted
almost the same, pretty much the same, anyhow, though a little
stronger, when they'd put their tubes into my mouth. Their cum had
been my reward for sliding my lips up and down them just the right
way, the way a girl should. I'd gotten really good at it with
whichever of their tubes because I loved the flavor and craved the
feel of those sperms in my mouth. The other girls had long ago
showed me how to do it.
There was especially that slab of a man who'd spent the whole night
with me, oh yes, Burke! God, I'd tasted Burke's tube three
different times that night, and then toward morning while I was
mostly asleep he'd pushed it all the way up into my bottom and just
pumped away into me the same way the girls would push their dildos
into me sometimes. He'd left me dripping so much juice I'd had to
borrow a tampon from one of the other girls and push that into me
too, after everything else! I loved that feeling, so much so that
I've used tampons regularly once a month ever since. Like the
other girls. I always kept some in my purse, even though I never
went anywhere. Until today.
But even though it felt wonderful I shouldn't tell anyone, Burke
had told me, because he'd forgotten that I wasn't written up for
getting fucked by men. For cocksucking yes, of course, but not for
getting fucked. Even so, he'd seen the round globes of my bottom,
he'd said, and then he'd been unable to resist sinking himself into
them.
I thought he was just trying to make me feel good by saying that.
As if his cock in my butt hadn't felt simply terrific all by
itself! Better than any of the other girls' dildos.
"You know who you are now, Diana," Joanna was still telling me.
"And you'll never know anything else. Enjoy a beautiful life!"
"I will," I whispered. It was so sad, yet so joyous an occasion.
"Thank you so much for everything, Joanna! I love you!"
"You love Karen," she reminded me. "Because Karen made all this
possible for you. She gave you this because she loves you too!"
"Yes," I said. It was true. I remembered now. We'd talked about
it while we were driving back home from that party, why did I
prefer being with woman at parties. That was when Karen had told
me that my birthday was coming up so she'd arranged this present
for me because she wanted me to feel fulfilled and she loves me.
I felt so grateful!"
And that explained why I was feeling so good when I woke up this
morning, my last morning in this wonderful place. Woke up singing
a silly song in my pretty new voice. Or did I only dream I was
singing? My voice really did sound like a flute, and I loved
hearing it. All the previous days seemed hazy, hundreds of them.
Today I seemed especially to be waking up.
I dressed myself in my best Spring dress, a pink organza, and I
slipped into moderate pink pastel heels, not an exact match but I'd
go shopping later for outfits that did match. That prospect really
pleased me. Then I spritzed my nicest perfume on me -- I did so
want Karen to like it! Bouffant had been fun, but now I brushed my
hair straight back neatly so it barely touched my bare shoulders.
This was a flattering style I could easily maintain, they'd told
me, and I found it was true.
I was wearing only a simple gold necklace I'd selected to match the
thin gold wedding band I'd found on my night stand when I woke up
this morning. They'd taken away my broad man's wedding band that
first day, so I wouldn't be reminded of my other life. The new one
was the very same ring, they assured me, but cut back into a
woman's style. Like my life now, and all my desires. It would
keep me reminded that I'm a woman, and a married woman at that.
Now that I was wearing a wedding band again, I felt as happy as
when Karen had first slipped it onto my finger in token of my
promises to her. And hers to me. Whatever those had been.
I swallowed my pills as every morning, my mood marvelous, just
perfect. And as every morning, feeling both smart and chipper, I
left the room.
Usually I'd be wearing only a robe or a peignoir and my favorite
fuzzy bedroom slippers as I headed down the hall toward the
Fleshpit, that was what we all called the padded sunken room where
I spent all my days and many nights, with a half-dozen naked women
already lying there, eager to rub their nakedness up against my
own, to smooth and soothe away any uneasiness, to reassure me that
I was one of them, with them, indistinguishable from them and
content to be among them. They might give me as many as three
orgasms as we just lay there breathless, woman on woman, and I'd
try one more time to reciprocate with my mouth and fingers and
tongue.
I ejaculated only clear fluid with no sperm, and not much of that
any more, so cleanup was never a problem. Heavy daily doses of
hormones had completed my physical transformation by shrinking my
testicles to the size of beans. It was wonderful, such a relief,
because now my tightest shorts and slacks wrapped my crotch into a
naked 'V', with no hint of anything else underneath! Even so, when
I orgasmed I could feel ecstatic pulsing squeezes down there
nevertheless, beginning at the base of my penis and radiating from
there through my whole body, even through to my fingertips. When
we'd all had enough, we'd smile and return to various rooms to
dress properly, and go down together to breakfast.
I loved those mornings.
This time though I turned the other way down the hall to the left,
toward the executive wing, where I'd been asked to sit in on
Karen's final chat with Dr. Matthews before we returned home
together. I didn't glance back toward at my Fleshpit companions --
we'd already said goodbye with one last round of sliding hugs,
wistfully but gratefully pressed against each other, acknowledging
the pleasure we'd shared yet recognizing that after all, everyone
needs to move on. I was so very much looking forward to my new
life with Karen!
Dr., Matthews greeted me delightedly when I entered her office, the
way she always did, and I reciprocated with a smile and toss of my
head. She praised my shoulder-length bob -- "It's not quite a page
boy, is it, Diana? But it's perfect for your face! Just lovely!
Very becoming!" That made me feel even more marvelous. Girls love
compliments.
Then she motioned me to a deep, wing backed upholstered chair set
back a bit from her desk. Karen would enter from behind me and
then sit immediately alongside that desk. "She might not even
notice you at first," Dr. Matthews explained. "So the sight of you
-- you really are stunning, dear, a credit to this place and
yourself too -- so your beauty won't distract her from the few
things that remain for us to discuss." That was how she explained
it. Filled with anticipation, I sat where I'd been told and
perched my purse in my lap and waited silently.
A few minutes later Karen entered. I turned to see her and my
heart reached out to her. I was overwhelmed -- she was so
wonderful to look at. She looked so much like ... home! She'd
redone her hair too, I saw -- it was shorter and more -- amine?
Mischievous? As instructed I only sat and beamed at her. She
glanced at me, apparently didn't recognize me, then moved to sit
where Dr. Matthews motioned her.
"But shouldn't you greet your husband first?" Dr. Matthews said to
her while her eyes twinkled at me? "He's right here," and she
gestured in my direction.
Karen turned and looked at me for a moment with the conspiratorial
smile women reserve for other women when they're impressed by their
appearance. Then glanced elsewhere to see where her husband might
be. She inspected each corner of the room, but there was no one
else anyhere. So her eyes returned to me. Then slowly, a wide
smile broke out on her face. It became exuberant! She began to
look as though she could eat me up!
"Sweetheart!" she exulted. "Oh, my one true love! You are just
gorgeous! Aren't you happy that you're now so beautiful?" She
glanced down at my hand. "I love your new wededing ring! It's
just like mine now! Exactly! Signifying a new relationship
between us!"
"Yes, Karen," I told her in my new sweet voice. "My darling Karen.
I am happy. I'm so glad you did whatever you did to get me here."
I remembered the actual event, what she'd done, the last I'd seen
of her after I'd parked the car in our driveway. Sort of. And
mock-pouted. "Even though it was a little underhanded, having me
carried off that way. I've thought about it now and then. You
were right, it's true, I guess I never would have gone off so
blissfully in this direction on my own. I had to learn first how
much nicer it is to be what I am than to be what I was, to stop
wishing I could become what I now am. If you know what I mean. So
I forgive you. These past months have been so incredible! I've
loved every minute! In the end you were so right about me!"
I lifted my face to be kissed. She came back toward me immediately
and bent over and we pressed our lips together. She tasted so very
sweet. We held ourselves together for the longest time. My heart
went out and joined with hers. Again.
"Ladies," Dr. Matthew said. "We have things to go over. Then you
can spend the rest of your lives kissing and so on, if that's how
you decide to spend the rest of your lives."
"Oh, we do, we will," we both said in unison. Then grinned at each
other. We sounded as if we'd rehearsed!
Karen smiled lovingly at me, reassuringly for some reason, then
turned, went back to her seat, and sat down. While Dr. Matthews
was seating herself and arranging her file on me on her desk for
easy reference, Karen said in a quiet voice, almost as if I weren't
there, "Doctor, I have a few questions I've meant to ask for some
time, but there's been so little opportunity. I suppose the
biggest one is, do all of your patients ... ahh, I mean guests, do
they always choose to commit themselves to their ... feminine side?
I mean, Dan here now seems so completely to be, now ... Diana. I
was never sure that he'd ... she'd ... is he a woman now?"
"To answer your question briefly, Karen, yes. It's almost in the
nature of things. As you know, this treatment is designed to
relieve bigendered men of their stress, the guilt and shame they
feel when they betray either part of their nature. Their feminine
part is the most shameful for them, since as males they've been
raised to protect women as the weaker sex. As protected women
rather than protecting men they seem to be violating their most
solemn duty. They think they're betraying a responsibility every
time they pull on a pair of panties or pick up a lipstick. Then
too, if they've been reared to repress all physical affection for
other men -- and everyone is born to some degree bisexual --
they'll detest their identifiably feminine feelings all the more.
So to relieve their guilt and self-contempt we emphasize
development of their feminine side. Being a woman is what we try
to make seem most desirable, accustomed, pleasurable, and
instinctual for them, as normal and natural as breathing and a lot
more enjoyable. The fact is, we find that anyone who experiences
their femininity this way prefers it. Even men with no tendencies
that way whatever, we've found. It's nicer. It's more fun."
Karen heard her out quietly. Then leaned forward and began
speaking to Dr. Matthews in a low voice, confidentially. "Dr.
Matthews, my dearest friend Dorrie told me that much about this
establishment. She told me that was your official explanation, and
that it satisfies nearly everyone. But I want to be frank with
you. Everything you've said seems credible enough. But you do
imply is that feeling feminine is a default condition of our
species, that all men would want to be feminine if they weren't
deliberately bred to make extra efforts to be masculine and to feel
shame at any implication of femininity. You imply that it's human
nature to be soft and yielding, and that it's only cultural
conditioning that turns half of us into tough, unyielding brutes,
supposedly the protectors of the other half. Well, that may be
true for many of us, women and men. But there are also many tough
women who take care of themselves, and many compliant men who yield
utterly to women and each other. Yet I've been told that all men
emerge from here with their feminine traits reinforced and no
masculinity whatever."
She leaned even further forward, and I could barely hear her.
Maybe I wasn't supposed to hear her? "Dorrie told me the official
story, but she mentioned that there's more. I've entrusted my
husband to you for many months now because she assured me that
there was more. I've always thought he'd be happier as a woman,
and I wanted him to feel persuaded of that too. Apparently, you've
done that. So now, tell me what you do here, really!"
She sat back. Dr., Matthews hesitated a moment, then leaned forward
toward Karen and also spoke quietly, also I suspect in a louder
voice than she intended.
"Karen, you're right. We are not quite what we seem, and many
women know this, including your friend Dorrie. As a marriage
counselor, Dorrie has referred many guests to us since we first
treated her own husband so successfully. I suspect you've known
from the beginning that your husband never really had a choice.
Our ... behavior modification procedures require that every one of
our male guests emerge as women. There's no element of choice in
it for them at all. They're bribed and acculturated into
womanhood, conditioned to it, made to want it despite whatever they
think they want. We believe they're all the better for it
afterward, and they all come to believe that too. None ever
complain, and many later send us contributions to support our
charitable work. For example, at no charge we take men who beat
their wives and then prepare them for marriage to other men,
sometimes to other men who beat their wives. And impossible
teenage boys, street toughs, they'll often leave here as delightful
girls physically well equipped to cope with other such teenage boys
and eager to do so."
Karen nodded as if to say she'd suspected so all along, in fact
she'd counted on it.
Dr. Matthews leaned back. Her dark secret out, she could relax and
expatiate. "You see, my predecessor didn't invent this treatment
as a way to relieve stress in transgendered men, though that's how
we nowadays advertise ourselves. She didn't intend this place to
be a treatment facility at all. It was designed originally as an
expensive holding tank for a wealthy husband whose wife was
conducting a wild and wonderful affair with her dress designer.
She wanted to park him someplace out of the way, where he could be
sensuously glutted, mindlessly saturated in sex so completely that
he'd become incapable of feeling jealousy or rage, not the least
interested in her whereabouts. She asked us to create an erotic
daydream for him, in effect to drown him in decadent femininity
laced with tranquilizers."
"How nice for him," Karen commented.
"So my predecessor hired skilled professional escorts --
prostitutes and show girls -- to set the scene and create the
impression that he was in a harem of sorts, a harem without a
Sultan, with only beautiful women indulging themselves with each
other and with him, forever. Well, after she tired of her dress
designer his wife lost herself in a succession of other ...
interests, but eventually she did recall that she'd stashed her
husband here. By the time she got here to reclaim him she found
that living in a harem for so long, soaking so unrelievedly in its
luxuries, had changed him. He'd become what he'd been seeing and
feeling. He couldn't discriminate himself from the women who were
surrounding and pleasuring him. Everyone seemed to be part of one
wallowing flesh, and he thought he was only one more of them. In
short, he'd become one more woman." Dr. Matthews smiled. "A woman
like all the others, one who loved pole dancing and also sex with
men."
I couldn't quite see how Karen was taking this information, but she
didn't seem surprised or upset.
"Thereafter his wife had no problem taking control of his fortune
and selling his share in the business, and this particular
industrial magnate spend his last decades happily serving her
fancies and satisfying his own. First as a maid, then as a call
girl and stripper, even for a time as a street whore. Loving every
minute of it, I should add."
"That's unbelievable, Doctor!" I heard Karen say. "He wasn't
hypnotized or anything?"
"No, nothing like that, though nowadays we do keep all our new
girls tranquilized heavily when they first arrive, and lightly the
whole time they're in residence -- Diana here is coming to full
consciousness of herself only now, for the first time since she
arrived. No, at first he was simply content to be a man among the
girls, though that soon began to bore him. How often can you fuck
or suck or be sucked, after all? So he occupied his mind with
whatever occupied theirs, with hair styles and nail polish
applications, and all the arts of teasing and tempting other men.
He took to imagining he was actually one of them, and that began to
affect his own sense of identity.
Which amused the other girls of course, so they encouraged him.
During the first week, one wicked girl, Tanya I believe was her
name, she had marvelously flowing hair I hear, Tanya sucked his
cock and rubbed her breasts on him and then lay down on his body
and as she fed him his own sperm she slipped in his first hi-test
estrogen pill. That got to be fun for all of them. After that he
was never without at least three women with soft mouths feeding him
hormones and attending to his body. Everywhere he looked or felt
there were breasts, mouths, eyes, or hands stroking him and
nourishing him, and now and then cocks invited from the
neighborhood. Between multiple doses of estrogen and
tranquilizers and penises and all those other women's bodies he
felt no pain whatever, and began to grow his own woman's body.
Also, he came to climax so often he was no longer aware of his own
orgasms -- they became his usual state of mind and feeling, and
needless to say, that state of mind blots out all others. Which is
why he chose to be a street whore until his wife rescued him.
Eventually his balls dried out completely -- I've always suspected
it was the hormones and not the excessive sex that did that."
"Well, jump ahead twenty years and here we are. That's basically
what we still do, but we've refined our techniques to the
well-tested procedures just administered to your husband. Who,
like everyone else who's ever been through this regimen, now loves
being a woman and would want it no other way."
"So there was never really any likelihood that he -- she --
wouldn't emerge as she is? As the lovely woman sitting here?"
"Not really. Don't mistake me, we do relieve transgendered men of
various anxieties as claimed, by releasing them from their double
identities and settling them into just one, as single women, so to
speak. But in the beginning this place was where wives could bring
husbands to keep them busy and uncomplaining while they did ...
whatever they chose to do. Their conversion to womanhood were an
unanticipated side effect that eventually became our main purpose.
Nowadays, for that very reason, some women will send us overly
macho husbands and ask us to reform them, make them into more
ingratiating companions for their leisure moments, someone to
occupy them perhaps in between their other men. We're always able
and happy to oblige."
Dr. Matthews smiled. "There are problems, but they'll be more
yours than ours at this stage I'm afraid. The women who leave here
often don't know much about the practical lives women lead.
They're often quite helpless. They don't know how to dress for
different occasions, how to behave in different social situations,
when men hit on them for example, or what to ask from their lives
and how to deal with their frustrations when they find they can't
have those things because... well, because they're only women. So
we don't like to see them leave here without mentors to look after
them for a time. As a loving wife -- and it's obvious that's what
you are -- you're certainly suitable. But if you don't mind, we
like to assure ourselves of that. That's why I've reserved this
little talk for now rather than troubled you with it when we first
accepted your husband as a suitable candidate for treatment. We've
always known what he'd be like when we returned him to you."
"Of course," Karen said. "But I've known too. Dorrie's husband
became what I was hoping my husband would become -- I should say
what he now seems to be. He can always guide Diana through the
appropriate kinds of social behavior, the parts that can be
learned. I'm sure Diana will enjoy using her feminine attributes,
in varying degrees, just as she'll enjoy learning to flirt. And as
far as how to dress goes -- I suppose Diana is a 'she' to the world
now, but he'll always be 'Dan' to me, a feminized man -- he always
did have a better eye for women's wear than any of my friends.
He'll have no problem that way. But Dr. Matthew, there's another
issue."
Karen got up and closed the door to Dr. Matthew's outer office,
even though it was occupied only by her secretary. Then came back
in, glanced at the window to make certain it too was closed, and
sat down again.
"My husband's figure and its implications. Well, my 'former'
husband's figure, I guess I should be calling it. Before I brought
him here his body was well on its way. His face had softened, his
breasts had arrived at a B-cup, and his rear end was ... well,
scrumptious! Now I see that his waistline is narrower still, that
my dear has lost a lot of weight except on his chest and in his
rump, where he's even more ... generously endowed. He reminds me
of that song from 'A Chorus Line.' What is it they celebrate?
'Tits and ass' I believe.
"Yes," Dr., Matthews replied. "He's gifted in both places. His
breasts stabilized as a generous D cup, a bit more full than we'd
expected. Fortunately, they're proportional with his shoulders.
And quite erogenous by the way-- you'll find that if you stroke
them he'll invariably have an orgasm. So of course he'll love you
for it, he'll feel grateful to anyone who strokes him, willing to
do anything in return for them -- he can't help it." She paused.
"I see," Karen replied. She turned and looked at me. Smiled at
me, and I smiled back. Then turned again to Dr. Matthews. "Dr.
Matthews, look at that face and figure! He's a man-trap! I'll
need to spend my days beating men away from him!"
Dr. Matthews' eyebrows shot way up. "Why bother? It's true, we
did thin him way down for the sake of his figure -- we wanted him
to have the same hollow tummy and protruding hip bones as our other
girls, as all the women he was attempting to emulate because he
wanted to be more like them. You can see how his narrowed chest
now shows off his breasts as if they were enormous. As with any
thin, well-endowed woman, they're features you can't take your eyes
off. And his sensitive nipples are a further asset. He's spent so
much time here sucking breasts as well as cocks that it's now a
need for him, and he'll expect his lovers to feel the same way.
Wasn't that your original intention for him?"
"One of them. Are you saying that Dan -- my Diana -- feels the
same delicious anticipatory delight real women feel when we're
making ourselves attractive to men? That he desires men."
"Of course. Though mainly, he makes himself beautiful the same way
he sleeps or feeds or bathes or sucks cock, without strong desire,
because that's what one does, scarcely aware that one does these
things mainly because one wants to. He's been living without
desire because all the pleasures he can imagine have been
immediately available. And nothing changes here. It's a silken
paradise where nothing grows or fades, appears or disappears,
except perhaps an occasional orgasm. And even those can seem
pretty similar after a while. In fact he has no idea how long he's
been here. Tell him it's been less than a month or over a year and
either will sound reasonable."
"I've lost track myself. Let me see, I sent him here for his
birthday early last Fall. I'd broken up with Barry by then and had
taken up with Scott -- yes, it was Scott who came over the next day
to help me get over missing him. Then when the weather turned
chilly it was with Scott I spent a week in Acapulco, and it was
still Scott when we went skiing in Vail. Then Ben kept me busy
most of the rest of the winter -- the poor dear wanted to marry me,
and simply couldn't understand that I have no intention of ever
getting a divorce from Dan now that he's Diana, even though he's
now Diana -- Ben never did understand true love. So we broke up.
Came spring there were a few other men, no one man in particular.
And now it's getting toward summer again -- and good heavens, I'll
be buying Dan a bikini after all, it's the better part of a year
since I mentioned to him that his ass would be well-advantaged by
one. I assume it's still as delectable. I had no idea his
conversion would take this long."
"He has no idea either. Not only don't things change here, but his
tranquilizers diminish his sense of time passing by reducing his
curiosity about things as they happen. As far as he's concerned,
they just happen. He can't tell. Why bother, when everything is
always the same hour by hour and day by day?"
Karen sighed, and checked her watch. "We'll need to move on soon,
Dr., Matthews. So let me be clear about the one big thing you've
been saying. Does he think he's a girl now? That he's no
different from any of the other girls he's been with?
"He knows he was once a man, but the idea lacks interest. He knows
his clit is a little bigger than the other girls,' but he thinks
it's a soft dildo. He knows that girls' use stiff dildos on each
other, though they need to enter his particular pussy a little
further back. And he knows about men's penises of course. We've
provided him with lots of penises to suck on so he wouldn't feel
deprived. So he's feel he's as authentic a girl as any. And there
are always men attached to those penises of course. So unlike many
girls he sucks cock routinely these days, without it seeming to be
that big a deal. Oh yes, he's mostly still a virgin as far as real
men go. His special friend here Joanna told us that a man named
Burke did once take him to bed and fuck him -- he loved it I hear,
but he wasn't sure what had happened, and the sperm pouring out of
his ass afterward seemed more an inconvenience than a memento.
