I didn't have long to wait before being shown into Professor Larnham's office. The waiting time had been enough to increase my uncertainty. I wasn't a fully fledged psychologist and had really only taken a couple of years of an Open University course before I realised that I probably wasn't in that league. In spite of that, my experience with the opposite sex had led me into certain avenues of exploration.
I liked women, although I had always doubted whether there could be one that could hold my attention for a lifetime.
Now I was here, armed with my notes, entering the office of one of the leading sexologists in the country. How I'd ever been able to persuade him to meet me, I don't know. Maybe he thought I was a suitable case for treatment. And maybe he was right!
Professor Larnham was a tall, very thin man, with a lean, lined face and piercing green eyes, aged mid-fifties, I would have guessed. His office was large with long windows, but apart from the desk there was only a black leather sofa, a large filing cabinet, and three chairs.
"Good morning, Mr Siter. How can I help you?" His voice was deep, and I felt as those green eyes were probing into my brain as we shook hands.
I drew a breath, and told him of the personal studies I had been doing. His face instantly fell and had an expression that said, "Not another one?"
"What kind of study?" he asked with a tone of weariness, glancing at his watch.
Tentatively, I held up my notebook, "I have some findings listed here."
His head nodded irritably, "Go on."
"In all cases I've used the findings from ten different ladies" I started.
"Hardly a definitive sample," he observed, and waving his hand in the air added, "Well, get on with it. I won't stop you unless I have to."
I opened my notebook and began, "This has been going for about two years now. In the first instance I was interested in how a woman reacted to being totally naked in front of a man who was fully or partially dressed. It took some practice to find the best way of gaining that situation. But the final results indicated that three quickly covered themselves with arms across the breasts and hand over the --er-pubes"
Don't know why I hesitated at that indication, and a quick glance at the professor revealed a deep scowl. I went on, "Two dived for the cover of a bed sheet, two stood awkwardly while looking to me to know when I was going to strip off, two flung themselves wantonly on the bed, while the other one posed elegantly on the edge of the bed. Turned out she had been an artist's model."
The professor held up a hand, "Where did these events take place?"
"Seven of them in my flat, two in their place and one in a hotel room."
"It would be helpful if you qualified which of the reactions occurred in which location," the professor stated flatly.
I nodded and told him, "The two more eager ladies were in their own flat, and the model was in the hotel room."
Professor Larnham shrugged, "Nothing too surprising there then. And you do realise these results would differ greatly if the ladies were in front of a stranger. Anyway, go on."
I drew a deep breath before going on to my next topic, "In this case nine were in my flat, and one was in a hotel room. And this part was most difficult because I was studying their reaction to a naked man being close up---but with a flaccid penis."
I wasn't sure but I thought I heard the professor groan. I had difficulty with this particular part of my research because remaining flaccid with a naked lady is quite a tall order, but remaining flaccid was not always essential. Initial reactions were more important.
"I had no problem in getting them to look at me, and they all eyed my member. It was when I asked them to touch that I got different results. Four said they could never touch a flaccid penis, although later while they were still aroused after orgasm, two of them were kissing it although it was flaccid once more. Two stroked it rather unwillingly, another two took it firmly in hand and flexed it until it was erect. Another pair stroked, and them ran their tongues along it. One actually took the limp member in her mouth and looked up at my face as I swelled on her tongue. Intriguing, that one."
Professor Larnham's green eyes were staring at me now, "You've been a very active young man," he commented. "Continue."
Encouraged, I went on, "Next it was reaction to an erect penis, and like the earlier trial, three said they needed to be somewhat aroused before they took a man in hand. Yet of the others, three were keen to stroke, squeeze, firmly jerk it, and mouth it as their passion rose, two had their mouths and tongues licking and kissing it, moving it up and squeezing it between their breasts, and two had it, almost eagerly, straight into their mouths."
Professor Larnham's head was nodding and he wore a strange smile, as he said, "You seem adept at choosing your samples. Were both of these tests the same sample."
"Oh, no--they were entirely different."
The narrow face creased in a half smile, "A very confident young man, aren't you? Is there much else?"
I told him of a section on which parts of their body they preferred initial touching, and how that changed as foreplay advanced, there was a section on foreplay in general, something on position and domination. Quite a range of areas still to cover.
"What work do you do, Mr Siter" He smiled, "Apart from teasing ladies?" I told him I was in an audit office where I worked as deputy chief accountant. I added that there were a number of nubile women working in the general office, always visible through the windows of my personal office. but that I was always careful to avoid any close contacts with them.
The professor sat silently for a few minutes, as though deep in thought. It made me feel slightly uncomfortable. At last, he said, "I admire your efforts, Mr Siter. All willing ladies, I note." The green eyes regarded me coolly. "Would your scheme work with less willing ladies?"
"It would be difficult," I admitted.
"Maybe impossible. Unless you're a Don Juan. And few of us are that, Mr Siter. Agree?"
Uncertain at where this was going, I agreed, and he went on, " "What would you say was the most important part of the body in sexual congress?"
No more confident, I cautiously replied, " Genitalia?"
