What is the ultimate heterosexual male fantasy? To be able to have sex with any woman you choose. And for a few amazing, dizzy, years in the 1970s, I was able to do just that. Yes, really. The secret? Pheromones. Or, rather, fake pheromones. Created in the 1960s, after long research, by my friend Phil, a brilliant biochemist. Having narrated some early experiences using this sexlixir, I go on now to an adventure with an older woman.
She was Hungarian, which may have been significant. She was seventy-four. She was not actually the intended target, and what happened was an example of how care had to be taken in using the sexlixir. In this case the result was delightful, but there were potential hazards.
I was giving a slide presentation, and leading a seminar afterwards, at a conference held in a hotel, and my topic had attracted an all-female audience of a dozen or so. I had not had many sexual opportunities lately, so was feeling frustrated, and reckless. Any of those women would have done, whatever age or shape.
The slide show went fine till the last couple of images, but these were not vital. After it, I nipped up to my room, while the seating was being rearranged, and applied the sexlixir. I also stopped at reception to report the projector fault. As I was approaching the room again, however, the fire alarm sounded.
Rather than re-entering, therefore, I summoned the women into the corridor and pointed them to the exit, whither I hastened myself, having checked all the rooms on the vicinity. Outside, on a damp winter day, the potion's effect would have been greatly reduced, even supposing I could stand amidst my group. Further, the disturbance lasted almost all the time allocated to the seminar, so by the time we were back inside it was time to get ready for dinner.
I therefore headed back to the seminar room to collect my slides. My targets were all elsewhere, of course, but there was an elderly woman up a ladder tinkering with the ceiling mounted projector. Her legs, in tights, were in fact what drew my eyes when I went in. She was dressed in a suit, and though the skirt was not all that short her elevation allowed me to see up it a certain way as I moved to the foot of the ladder.
To cover the voyeurism, I said, 'Shouldn't someone be holding this ladder?'
Continuing with her work, in an accent I did not at once recognise, she said, 'The technician has gone somewhere and this is needed after dinner.'
The legs were shapely, and the bottom, just above my head, was also shapely, and further up was a prominent bosom. Perhaps there would be enough potency left in the stuff to do the trick. I held the ladder and awaited developments.
After a few minutes the lady descended to the lowest step, and I found myself looking into a pleasant, smiling, lined face under elegantly-cut short, white hair. Her grey eyes studied me and her mouth twitched as if she found me amusing. She asked, 'Did you want something?'
I was tempted to say, 'Yes. You.' Instead, standing as close as I dared, I explained about the laptop and that it was I who had reported the fault.
'Do you know anything about these things?' She pointed upwards. Then she stepped down and offered her hand. 'I am Ilona. This is my hotel, so I have to do anything if my staff is not available.'
I took her large, strong hand and told her my name. She was in no hurry to release me, and continued to regard me with that slightly mocking smile. I looked into her eyes with the gaze I thought of as my 'through the eyes down into the knickers' look.
She said, 'Dinner will be soon. Are you hungry?'
I was sure she had read my look and the enquiry was not about need for food.
'Yes,' I said, 'I am hungry.' Emphasising the word with a squeeze of her hand.
'You know,' she said, 'I have not been in this situation for some time.'
'Are you finding it enjoyable?' I asked.
'Let us be clear about the situation,' she said. 'I think you are wanting to have sexual intercourse with me. Is that right?'
'That's right,' I said.
'From when you stood below me I thought that was it.'
I wondered if the sexlixir had been performing its magic or if she had picked up my need and desire, my response to her appearance.
'Would you like to have sexual intercourse with me, Ilona?' I ventured.
