More of a conversation starter than anything:

What's the strangest place you've had sex?

[aspolyhymnia]

[She hates the way women have been kept in the dark about so many things through the centuries. Men always deciding that women are lesser, or delicate.]

The knowledge will absolutely change the way you look at people, especially couples. But I am willing to tell you if you really want.

How do you personally handle or answer to societal expectations and perceptions that are hoisted on you based on physical features or the color of your skin? Specifically, in this case, being a black, gay man who bottoms. People seem to have trouble reconciling personal preference with masculinity, and even then, it's seen as shameful to want it, or a given that I always top.

[coldsong]

Personally? I handle it badly, I suppose.

Where I come from, same-sex relationships are perfectly normal, but there's still a ridiculous standard of masculine behavior within them, which I have never been able to meet. I was defensive at first, then aloof, then vicious and now I've just run out of fucks to give, metaphorically speaking.

It's worth remembering that people in a society will inevitably find a way to other someone for some reason or another. That's just what social groups do, and sexual expectations are one of the easiest ways to do it, because people--humans especially--find sex inherently funny and embarrassing. You don't have to answer to it. Do what you want, as long as you're not hurting anyone.

[fistsofchange]

Does anyone have any advice about picking out a good, um.

A good sex toy? Like a vibrator or something.

[i_will_live]

It depends. Do you want something portable to take with you, or do you want something you just have at home?

If it's at home, you have a lot more options.

[fistsofchange]

You know I never really thought about it? I was just picturing something like a rubber dick, but now I'm curious what the options are.

[i_will_live]

Well, even with just a vibrator, if you can plug it into the wall it'll be a lot stronger than the stuff that can run on batteries.

For stuff exclusive to inside... there are machines that'll thrust a toy for you so it feels more like you're having sex. Then there's stuff like the sybian, it's a machine you straddle and it has really strong vibrations and can even rotate.

Those are the most popular things, but there are a lot of other toys too.

[fistsofchange]

Wow I kinda want to try them all out.

[i_will_live]

Well somebody's pretty ambitious!

Um... my name is Futaba and um, you're very pretty so if you wanted to try them with me, we could?

[fistsofchange]

I grew up with the cold showers and early morning training lifestyle. It was only in the last few years that I was able to start trying out fun stuff, so I'm trying to make up for last time.

So, um...yeah. If you wanted to show me some of the options, I'd be okay with that. My name's Lin.

[i_will_live]

Seriously? Then maybe you can help me exercise sometime. I... won't get into it right now, but half my childhood had things forced on me that made my body weak.

[However, they could talk about that serious stuff later.]

Thanks, Lin. Maybe we could get two of those sybian things? Then I can control the one you're sitting on and you can control the one I'm sitting on.

[fistsofchange]

I think it should be okay to be weak, but if you want to get in shape I could probably help you with that a bit.

[Later, though.]

That sounds like a super fun way to get familiar with a sybian...

[i_will_live]

I don't need to be as strong as you, but being able to do more things would be good. I'm not allowed to tie up my friends during sex if we're alone anymore because I kind of fell asleep for a long time when I had one of my friends tied up.

[She let out an embarrassed laugh, but it at least illustrated her point in a sexy way.]

Okay let's see... this place should provide everything we ask for that fits what we want so...

[Futaba opens up a random closet, and there they were. Two saddle-shaped devices and all the accessories. Futaba pulls them out and lines them up so one is facing the other. That way they'll be in prime position to touch and kiss if they want.]

So, you can put on different attachments to this part right at the top. It can be just a bump you rub up against or one of these dildos. Pick whatever size you want.

[She'll show Lin how to change out attachments, as Futaba wanted to put on a dildo that was a bit on the smaller side for herself.]

[fistsofchange]

Oh NO that sounds terrible awkward.

[She tried to avoid it, but a giggle still slipped out at Futaba's story of her friend's predicament.

She stood behind her while Futaba acquired the toys and listened attentively while helping her get them set up. When it came time to choose an attachment, she eyed the BIG dildos thoughtfully for a moment, but ultimately went for something smaller that looked like it was designed to stimulate her clit with minimal actual penetration.

Not that she had anything against penetration, but she figured she'd work up to that with this.]

...Alright, that looks all set up. Now I just...sit on it?

Oh! But I should probably take my pants off first, huh?

[i_will_live]

It was, but they forgave me... eventually. Now it has to be three of us in a room if I want to do the tying up.

[Futaba was embarrassed by the giggling, but she knew Lin only meant it in good fun.

When Lin brought up taking off pants, she nodded.]

Yeah, unless you want to soak through your pants. These things are really powerful.

[Futaba bit her lower lip, her face flushing a bright red.]

Do you want me to help you undress and you can help me undress?

[If Lin agreed, she'd step forward to pull down Lin's pants and panties.]

[fistsofchange]

I don't own a lot of pants so...yeah probably a good idea not to make a mess of them.

[She actually started to reach down to just take her own pants off, but stopped at Futaba's suggestion.]

Hmm, yes I think I'd be okay with that.

[Lin lifted her arms up and did her best to strike a kinda sexy pose, the end results of which were a solid B effort. As Futaba pulled her pants down she learned two things. First, was that Lin was wear boxers today, rather than panties. Second, was that Lin's bright red hair was apparently dyed that way, and did not match the ordinary black hair on, shall we say, other parts of her body.]

[i_will_live]

We... should probably do something about you not owning a lot of clothes. Another time.

[Even a B effort sexy pose was enough to get Futaba's attention. Especially with an attractive, strong woman like Lin. When she found Lin's hair didn't match, she let out a brief giggle, but said nothing. Instead, she placed a kiss just above Lin's bush.

Then she stood up and tried for her own sexy pose... though it ended up more looking like a mix between a sexy pose and a Kamen Rider pose. Still, she was trying!

What Futaba was giggling about would be made clear when Lin pulled down her tight shorts and panties. Futaba was in a similar boat, her red-orange hair was dyed and beneath her hair was revealed to be black.]

Hah, we match!

[Then it was time to straddle the sybian. Lin might have had the right idea going with the bump first because even with a small dildo, Futaba was having to tease herself against the tip to take it in.

Soft moans left her lips as she teased herself and eventually managed to seat herself all the way on the toy. Then she grabbed the controls for Lin's. Everything was clearly labeled. Switches to turn on the rotation or vibration and dials to adjust the intensity of each.]

Ready?

[fistsofchange]

[What on EARTH was that pose? Lin didn't comment on it other than grinning as she pulled Futaba's shorts down and was surprised to see that they did, in fact, match.]

Hey, we do!

[Once they were both properly bottomless, Lin stood back up and gave Futaba a quick peck on the cheek.]

Thanks for this, by the way.

[Okay, now down onto the sybian. Her attachment didn't go very far in, so she was able to get comfy with a minimum of breath catches and sensual moaning.]

It's actually pretty comfy just like this. But yeah, I'm ready!

[She picked up the remote which, fortunately, was quite idiot proof. Lin was not at her best with technology.]

[i_will_live]

[The peck on her cheek actually made her blush more than anything else. It was just so sweet, and Futaba was a sucker for romance.]

Y-you're welcome! Any time. And we have lots of other stuff to try out other than this.

[Settling her racing heart, Futaba smiles up at Lin.]

Alright, start slow because these things are really intense.

[Futaba demonstrated by flipping on the vibration to the lowest possible setting. There was a rumble that could easily be heard, definitely not the sort of toy that you could stealthily use.

The vibration was deep, and would spread across Lin's pussy, and she'd even feel it in her inner thighs.]

How do you like that?

[fistsofchange]

I can't wait to see the other things!

[Lin actually turned the dial up to 1 at the same time Futaba did. Which was a good thing because when it turned on she almost dropped the remote.]

Oh! Oh wow. That's...a bit more than I was expecting.

[She had been expecting the lowest setting to be like a warmup. Something you could coast on for a while, but she felt like she could finish herself off on just this if she was willing to work at it.

Fortunately, today she had no reason to hold back like that. Lin leaned into it, pressing the silicone ridges against herself.]

I could get used to it, though. Do you want to go up to 2 yet?

[i_will_live]

[Futaba groaned openly, her entire body shuddering as the pleasure went through her at the same time as Lin. Though, she had a little more experience with this stuff so she wasn't in danger of dropping the remote.]

Mmh, let's try the rotation first.

[As long as Lin had no complaints, she'd turn on the rotation. With what Lin was using only being a couple inches deep at most, it wouldn't be too intense at first, but it'd hit a lot more spots than just having it vibrate alone.]

I was- mmmh, thinking, maybe it'd be a fun to make it a game if we're being cautious like this. Maybe something like we each ask each other a question? Could be sexy or not. As long as we can answer the question, the other person turns our dials up one extra notch. If we can't answer, we turn it down a notch.

[fistsofchange]

I- Oh god...

[As the plug in starts to spin beneath her, Lin is finding it pretty hard to concentrate. She had to reach out and put a hand on Futaba's shoulder for balance.]

This is hard to concentrate.

Yeah...let's do...let's do that thing you said.

Um.

Do you actually own one of these?

[That's her first question.]

[i_will_live]

[Having Lin hold onto her for balance broke the feeling of there being a barrier between them. It also pushed Futaba's petite body down harder against the dildo. She whimpered softly as her hips began to rock into the toy.]

Ah... I...

[It took her a moment, but she regained her focus.]

Yeah, it was a gift from my friend Haru, who I also live with now. Her place is pretty big, so once I turned eighteen, I moved in with her. It was a big change, but living with family would've been... awkward for the kind of stuff I wanted to experience.

[She placed a hand on Lin's hip as she thought of her question.]

Would you rather be fucked by a double-ended strap-on, or would you rather be the one fucking somebody else?
