How to Be a Superhero
The
first few sessions, you ride on top of him. You take control. You rock
back and forth on his hard, little dick. Not too aggressive. Not too
soft either. You don’t want to overwhelm him, but you don’t want to
baby him. The trick is to take it nice and easy. You have to remember
that he’s never done this before. You have to remember that you’re an
expert. This is your fiftieth, your hundredth, your thousandth time.
You’ve lost count. You could do this in your sleep the same way your
grandma can bake cookies. The kid you’re banging, the one you’re going
to turn into a man, today his name is Patrick. He’s your tenth, your
twentieth client. You’ve lost count.
One day, you look in the mirror, and you’re beautiful. It’s as simple
as that. One day, you step out of the shower, and you wipe the fog off
the bathroom mirror, and the naked girl looking back at you, skin still
slick and shiny, she’s gorgeous. For the first time, you look at
yourself from an outsider’s perspective. You see yourself the way other
people see you. You stand there like an idiot for you don’t know how
long, astonished by your own reflection.
You hold an ample breast in each hand. They’re round, firm,
gravity-defiant. Your prominent, half-dollar nipples poke out between
your fingers. Your tits are so perfect, they’re almost fake. You turn
sideways and rub your flat stomach. Not an ounce of fat to be found.
You turn your back to the mirror and peer over your shoulder. That
sweet ass, not too big or too small, it’s so tight you could bounce a
quarter off of it. The elegant curve of your back, it merges gracefully
into the curve of your ass, the curve of your slender legs. The smooth
curve of your body, the way it goes in and out, no interruptions. No
time to think.
Then you lean forward to examine your face. Your eyes are unusually
blue, unnaturally intense. Your nose, your lips, your cheekbones, it’s
all flawless. You realize you’ve never had a pimple, you’ve never
gotten sunburn. Your blonde, wavy hair is damp and disordered but sexy
nonetheless. Your face is a woman’s face, but it will be forever young.
You step back. You close your eyes and open them. You take it all in.
Everything in the precise proportion. Everything working in harmony.
Where did this girl come from? You were always pretty, but you don’t
ever recall being this magnificent. This exhilarating. Puberty crept up
on you gradually, chipping away a little bit at a time, molding you
into a goddess. Yes, it sounds narcissistic, but it’s true. You didn’t
choose it; it chose you.
You leave that bathroom a different person. You’re not you anymore.
You’re a better you, a you that’s been given a wonderful gift. You
perceive the world in a new light. Those perverts who wiggle their
tongues at imaginary clits, who stick imaginary penises in their
mouths, who squeeze imaginary breasts as you walk by them in the hall,
they’re not jerks. They’re critics, Eberts and Roepers giving you two
thumbs up. They like what they see is all. You still act disgusted, of
course. You shake your head and roll your eyes, but you’re nodding on
the inside. You’re thinking, of course you want me to suck your dick,
just look at me. I’m fucking beautiful. It’s not egotism. It’s a fact.
The third or fourth session, you let him be on top. You let him roll on
his own condom. You lie on your back and spread your legs. You pull
back your knees, and you tell him, fuck me. Fuck me right now. His
hands shake nervously as he puts his thing in you. You help him gently
glide it through. It pokes around awkwardly in your vagina, no rhythm,
no consistency, and you remind yourself that he’s an amateur. You moan
a little, you breathe harder, you pretend you like it. The way you fake
pleasure is you exaggerate everything. If it doesn’t feel like
anything, it feels good. If it feels kind of good, it feels really
good. Nothing feels great though. If you overdo it, it looks like
mockery, the way you ask your boyfriend’s hideous mother if she’s lost
weight, that for a moment, you mistook her for Julia Roberts. Playing
with your clit helps. But do it offhandedly. It’s merely complementing
his actions. It’s an extra in the background of his movie. The trick is
to make him the center of attention.
After you discover you’re smokin’, not much really happens. You feel
different, but you act pretty much the same. You see other attractive
girls abuse their power, taking advantage of horny boys with pussy on
the brains and then breaking their hearts. You don’t want to do that.
You want to use your cleavage for good, not evil. In what way, you
don’t know yet.
Eventually, you get a boyfriend named Stephen. He’s tall, thin,
handsome. Stephen isn’t too bright, but he plays football and rumor has
it that he’s got a great big cock. He’s in your English and History
classes, and you notice him eyeing you from time to time. When you look
back at him, he doesn’t look away like most guys, which means he’s
confident and secure. One day he comes up to you at your locker and
asks you out, and you can’t not say no. He is, after all, pretty cute.
The first few dates, he’s a perfect gentlemen, opening doors for you,
complimenting you on how you look, hanging on to your every word like
he really cares about yesterday’s episode of House.
He’s polite, charming, funny. You start to really like him. Then you
find out he’s a great kisser. Gentle, coordinated, not too wet, easy
with the tongue.
About a month into the relationship, you’re making out on his living
room couch. His parents are out of town for the weekend. The lights are
off, and the TV’s on, flickering behind your closed eyelids. He has a
hand up your shirt. You can sense his other hand fiddling in the dark,
trying to open something or take something out. For a brief moment, you
think maybe it’s his cell phone, maybe his parents are checking up on
him. He takes your hand and wraps it around something thick and sweaty,
and for a brief moment, you still think it’s a cell phone, some kind of
weird, phallus-shaped cell phone. You open your eyes, and there it
is—his wanker in all its glory. Your hand only covers half of what’s
there. A part of you is impressed, and the other part of you thinks
this is the most disgusting thing you’ve ever seen. His hand moves to
the back of your neck, and he says, “Suck it, baby.” You don’t want to
suck it, but you can’t not suck it, so you lean forward and wrap your
lips around his sausage. Your head moves up and down, and the whole
time you’re thinking, oh my God, I can’t believe I’m giving a blowjob.
You’re thinking, it kind of tastes like penis.
Five minutes later, he’s nice and hard, and he pushes you away. Quick
as a cat, he takes off your shirt, your bra. He unbuttons your pants
and slips them off with your panties. He takes off his own shirt and
pants. Twenty seconds and you’re both completely naked. He sticks a
finger inside you. He sticks two fingers inside you. While he’s
fingering you, he sucks on your nipples, he buries his face in your
chest. Foreplay is another word for preparation, another word for
getting you wet. When you’re ready, he stops and digs through the pile
of clothes on the floor. He finds his wallet, finds a condom, rolls it
on his throbbing manhood. He slips his big cock in your tight pussy.
You gasp, you wince. It hurts, but the more he works it inside you, the
less it hurts. It hurts less and less until it feels good. Really good.
You can tell Stephen knows what he’s doing. He’s got the whole thing
perfectly timed, starting off slow, then going faster and faster.
Twenty, thirty, forty-five minutes go by. You lose count. On TV, an
episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, an episode of Seinfeld. Kramer slides through the door, and the invisible audience laughs.
Your arms wrapped around him, your hands digging into the meat of his
back. You feel his warm breath against the side of your neck. All of a
sudden, you freeze, you stop breathing, your body tenses up, your legs
twitch. Ten seconds later and he does the same thing. You hold each
other for a few minutes, gasping for air. The thing inside you is
melting, shrinking, the way the Incredible Hulk shrinks after
destroying a city block. Eventually, he goes to the bathroom and
flushes the condom down the toilet. He returns and holds you in his
arms. Together, you watch the television in silence. The whole time
you’re thinking, I can’t believe I just had sex. You’re trying to
remember what just happened, but it’s all a blur. Some people plan on
losing their virginity. They set a time, a date, a location. For some,
it just happens, and you don’t realize it happened until afterward.
Losing your virginity isn’t the same as losing your wisdom teeth or
your tonsils or your pet goldfish. People use the term like it’s a
tangible item, a physical attachment that you can have surgically
removed. The fact is you’re not losing anything; you’re losing the lack
of something. You’re losing a state of mind, the way you lose ignorance
through education. You’re losing the idea of not knowing what it feels
like. After the first time, it’s no big deal. It depreciates in value
the way a new car depreciates in value as you drive it off the lot. The
way your favorite movie loses its power every time you watch it. You
may still enjoy it, you may pick up on details you missed before, you
may even admire it more with each viewing. But you’ll never get that
initial feeling again, that feeling of wonderment when you think, wow,
this is the best movie I’ve ever seen. That’s what losing your
virginity is like.
The seventh or eighth session, this loser you’re turning into a winner,
you let him take you from behind. You give him complete control. You
let him spank you. You let him pull your hair a little. You let him
stick a wet thumb up your butt. This is stuff he’s seen in pornos,
stuff he thinks all women like. Later, you’ll tell him the truth, but
for now, you let him think what he wants. You let him live out his
fantasies, because this is his time to shine. At this point, his
nervousness is minimal. He’s beginning to develop rhythm. He’s starting
to pace himself. He’s still a long way from great, but he’s showing
improvement, making progress. That’s the important thing. This isn’t
all about false hope or temporary happiness. It’s about education.
Teaching a man to fish to feed him for a lifetime. Some Chinese proverb
shit like that.
You lose your virginity, and before you know it, a year goes by. Sex is
now a regular activity, a part of your weekly routine. You’ve mastered
the art of giving head. You can tell when he’s going to come just by
instinct. You know each other’s bodies so well you orgasm
simultaneously almost every time. Sex is so matter-of-fact it’s like
brushing your teeth or taking a shower every day. It stills feels
marvelous, but the concept of it has lost its excitement, the way
drinking as an adult isn’t as fun and forbidden as drinking as a
teenager.
Before you know it, you’re not “dating” anymore. You’re not “going
out.” You’re at a point in your relationship when you’re a couple.
People think of you and your boyfriend as a single entity, the way
people called Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez “Bennifer” when they were
together. Stephen, this perfect gentlemen, one night he drives up to
the restaurant, and you sit in the car waiting for him to open the door
for you, and he’s standing in front of the car like an idiot, asking if
something’s wrong. You recount an argument you had with your girlfriend
that day, and he’s staring off into space, not even bothering to nod.
You go back to his place and fuck, and then you watch TV. You say, “I
love you,” and he says it back, but neither of you mean it. More and
more he’s getting on your nerves, little annoying things like not
returning your calls or not meeting with you in the hall between
classes like you usually do. Seeing a movie is more about the movie
than it is about spooning in a dark, public place. You don’t love him,
but you don’t exactly hate him either. You stay with him, because you
feel obligated to after all this time, because you would gain nothing
by breaking up with him. He is, after all, a good lay. But you need
more than a good lay. You need excitement again.
So you come up with a plan. A way to use your physical attractiveness
and sexual prowess for the good of mankind. All you need is a subject.
This is where your Chemistry lab partner comes in. His name is
Christopher. Picture the stereotypical nerd. Skinny. Short. Shy.
Glasses. Cheap clothes. Hair parted to one side. Inhales sporadically
when laughing. This is who Christopher is. It’s not prejudice. It’s
genetics. It’s a fact. You can’t imagine him ever kissing a girl, let
alone sleeping with one. He doesn’t look at you when he speaks, because
he’s intimidated by you. But he’s sweet. He’s patient when you make a
mistake, or when you don’t understand something. But sweetness doesn’t
get you laid. Sweetness doesn’t buy you happiness.
You’re doing a lab, mixing something with something else and watching
it change color and timing how long it takes. Without warning, you turn
to Christopher, and you ask him if maybe he could do you a big favor.
You don’t understand the material. You’re not doing so well on the
homework. There’s a test coming up, and if you don’t pass it, you might
fail the class. You ask him if maybe he’ll tutor you. He makes a
reluctant face and begins to say I don’t know, but you say please. You
need help. You’re desperate. You ask if maybe he’ll come over to your
house after school. If maybe he could help you do the homework. And of
course, he says okay. He can’t not say no. Just look at you. You’re
fucking beautiful.
Your client will inevitably try to kiss you. The earlier the better,
because it allows you to establish the nature of your cause. He’ll try
to kiss you, and you’ll have to push him away. Kissing implies
intimacy, romance. You don’t want that. You don’t want him to fall in
love with you. You tell him this is strictly sexual. He’ll ask why a
girl like you is doing this with a guy like him. And you tell him the
truth. You want to educate him. You want to raise his confidence level.
The reason he can’t talk to girls is because he lacks the courage and
motivation. You want him to feel more comfortable around girls. The
first hurdle is always the hardest, so you want to give him a little
boost. He’ll think it’s pity, but you assure him it’s not. You pity him
as much as a dentist pities his patient, as much as a barber pities his
customer. You’re merely providing a service. Helping him overcome his
weaknesses and insecurities.
You meet Christopher after school and drive him to your house. Your
sister is still at the middle school, and your parents are still at
work. You take him up to your room. “So what are you having trouble
with?” he asks, and you take off your shirt, your bra. Five seconds and
you’re completely topless. The trick is not to give him room to think.
Mouth open, he stares at your spectacular bosoms, confused, shocked. He
says something stupid, like “Uh…you’re…uh…what…uh…” And you say
something stupid, like “Yeah.” You kneel on the floor and take off his
pants. He tries to stop you, he tries to resist, but he can’t not let
you suck his dick. You blow him until he’s nice and hard, and you tell
him to lie on the bed. You remove the rest of your clothes. You
retrieve a condom from your underwear drawer and roll it on his boner.
You get on top of him. You take control. You rock back and forth on his
hard, little dick. Not too aggressive. Not too soft either. You don’t
want to overwhelm him, but you don’t want to baby him.
He reaches up to touch one of your tits but hesitates. You take his
hand and put it there. He squeezes it cautiously. He thumbs your erect
nipple in fascination. The only sounds are bed springs, heavy
breathing, skin slapping skin. Sex is always quieter than you imagine.
In movies and pornos, the girl groans and screams, and the guy mutters
rhetorical questions, like “You like that baby? Huh? You like me
fucking you?” They switch positions four or five times, most of which
look unpractical and uncomfortable. The guy jizzes all over the girl’s
face, and the girl pretends she likes it. It’s always fake and
over-the-top. In real life, sex is about focus and concentration.
Three minutes later and he comes. It’s okay that you don’t, because you
get off on his satisfaction. You robbed him of his virginity, squashed
his ignorance, abolished his poverty. You changed his life, and that’s
more satisfying than any orgasm you’ll ever have. You’re high on power,
stoned on generosity. There is no such thing as an unselfish good deed.
Helping others makes you feel better about yourself. It’s why people
volunteer in soup kitchens and give to charities. It’s why Superman
fights crime. Why Santa delivers gifts to children. Why Christ
sacrificed himself on the cross. It’s partly out of the goodness of
their hearts, but it’s also because it makes them feel good to be good.
There’s nothing wrong with that. Everybody wins.
Christopher lies on the bed panting. You dispose the condom and lie
down next to him. “Becky?” he says in a low voice. “Yeah?” you say. He
looks at you drunkenly and says something stupid, like “Thank you.” And
you say something stupid, like “You’re welcome.” You smile and place
your hand on his chest, feeling his heart beat. You tell him if he
wants you to keep doing this, he has to keep it a secret. If Stephen
finds out, he’ll kill both of you. He says he understands. You tell him
to promise, and he promises. After a long silence, he says, “What now?”
And you reach for your pants and say, “Teach me this stoichiometry
shit.”
The fifteenth, twentieth session, you know the periodic table like the
back of your hand, and he knows your pussy like the periodic table. He
can fuck you on top, below, doggie-style. He can finger-fuck you. Eat
you out. You don’t have to fake coming anymore. Nerds are fast
learners. People think nerds can’t have sex, but learning how to have
sex is not much different than playing chess or programming computers.
It’s all about strategy, problem-solving, reaching a goal in the most
efficient way possible. Making a chick climax and designing an
algorithm? Same thing.
At this stage, you ask Christopher who he likes. He’ll deny he likes
anyone, of course. But you press him, you tease him about it. Everybody
has a crush on somebody, you say. And he says, well, there’s this one
girl… Her name is Sammy. She’s in his Latin class. You’ve seen her
around. She’s short, smart, pretty. Maybe too pretty for him but not
unattainable. You tell him that he should ask her out on a date. What
does he have to lose? She says yes—great. She says no—nothing changes.
He seems reluctant at first, but then he thinks about it and says
you’re right. Sammy may be out of his league, but you’re not even in
the same sport. He figures if he can fuck you without a problem, he can
at least talk to any other girl. He doesn’t say this out loud, but you
can tell he’s thinking it.
The next day, you watch as Christopher walks up to Sammy at her locker.
He says something, and she says something. Both smile at one another.
Lips move. Heads nod. She writes her number on a scrap of paper and
hands it to him. You meet him after school. He’s excited but scared. He
doesn’t know what to do next. You tell him to calm down. If he can
master the pussy, he can master dating. You walk him through it. You
show him the ropes. You teach him how to be the perfect gentlemen. You
tell him to make eye contact at all times. Focus on what she has to
say. Show an interest. Relate. Respond. Compliment her, but don’t
overdo it, or it looks like mockery, the way you ask your boyfriend’s
hideous father if he’s been working out, that for a moment, you mistook
him for Jean-Claude Van Damme. Most importantly, be yourself. Just not
the bad part of yourself.
The twenty-fifth, thirtieth session, this pussy turned pussy magnet, he
says sorry, he can’t do this anymore. Things are getting serious with
him and his girlfriend, and he can’t fuck you anymore. And you tell him
congratulations. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. The day
your baby bird leaves the nest to explore the world. From then on, he
calls you less and less. At school, you watch him and his girlfriend
walk hand-in-hand. You watch them hug and kiss. It’s okay if he doesn’t
talk to you anymore, it’s okay that your own relationship isn’t as
meaningful as his, because you get off on his satisfaction. You were
the cause of something wonderful. It makes you feel good to be good. He
doesn’t talk to you anymore, but whenever you see him, your eyes meet
for a split second, and there’s an understood connection. A secret that
only the two of you know. A secret that now seems like a dream from so
long ago.
The kid you’re banging, the one you’re going to turn into a man, today
his name is Patrick. He’s your tenth, your twentieth client. You’ve
lost count. Patrick is in your Calculus class. He’s sweet, but
sweetness doesn’t get you laid. Sweetness doesn’t buy you happiness.
This is where you come in. You’re going to build his confidence. You’re
going to teach him how to fish to feed him for a lifetime. Some Chinese
proverb shit like that.
Sex is just another example of human beings defying nature. Evolution
is all about survival. The organisms where sex was like setting your
genitals on fire, they didn’t last fifteen minutes. Nature made sex
feel good so we would reproduce. It’s inherent. If sex didn’t feel
good, it wouldn’t exist. But our brains have become so developed that
we’ve been able to turn a basic survival mechanism into a recreational
activity. We can prevent the outcome of sex while still retaining the
pleasurable side effects, the same way people sniff glue without having
to glue anything. We have masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, tit sex. We
have condoms, diaphragms, birth control pills. You slap a special patch
on your ass, and you’re good to go. What separates us from the animals
is limitless orgasms with limited reproduction. Evolution made us so
smart that we don’t have to listen to it anymore. Life is more than
survival now; it’s about love and happiness. Yet, in a way, the rules
of evolution still apply. Only the fittest find love and achieve
happiness, while the weak die alone and unfulfilled. But it doesn’t
always have to be that way.
What you are is a real-life superhero. Your powers: a terrific ass, a
fantastic rack, an aesthetically-pleasing visage, the ability to seduce
any man in the world. By day, you’re Longtime Girlfriend, Innocent
Daughter, Well-Behaved Student, Regular Churchgoer. But by night,
you’re Miss Big Tits. Captain Cleavage. Super Pussy. Lord of the Nerds.
Your duty: to defeat evolution on a new level. To bring happiness to
those less fortunate. You won’t be doing this forever, of course.
Eventually, you’ll graduate and go to college. Eventually, you and
Stephen will break up, and you’ll find someone you really love. But for
now, this is who you are. A superhero.
Three minutes and Patrick comes. He promises to preserve your secret
identity and then shows you how to maximize the area of a cylinder
using integration. You drive him home. On the way back, you stop at a
red light. You turn and see a little boy and girl in the back seat of
the car beside you. They wave. You smile and wave back. You wonder how
many of your clients will grow up and have families. You wonder if any
of your clients’ children or great-grandchildren will cure cancer or
end world hunger. You wonder how much the future of mankind has changed
merely by letting a guy stick his wiener in you.
Even if you don’t alter the course of history, you know you’ve affected
at least one man’s life. You imagine yourself ten, fifteen, twenty
years from now, pushing a cart down the can food aisle of a grocery
store. Your husband and son walk beside you. You see an old friend
moving in the opposite direction with his wife and daughter. Will he
recognize you? Will he stop and say hello? Will he introduce you to his
family? Or will it be some cheesy Hallmark moment? Your eyes meet for a
split second, and there’s an understood connection.
He mouths something stupid, like “Thank you.”
And you mouth something stupid, like “You’re welcome.”
