"Define... obsessed", said Isabelle, peering over the upper rim of her readers. "You use that word often Jane, and I just want to hear in your words how you experience it."
"It consumes me" started Jane. "It absolutely just fucking consumes me."
"And by it you mean...?"
"Sex... well more specifically orgasm, climax, the big O... that perfect minute where every part of my body ignites in rapture. So much so that I'm not really sure how it doesn't similarly dominate all of our thoughts... all of the time."
"Priorities. Responsibilities. Worries. Hopes and dreams. The dishes. The laundry. I can think of plenty of reasons," shot back Isabelle, attempting her best to temper the obsession with practicality. "It's the same reason we don't eat doughnuts for breakfast and candy for dinner."
"But see, those have consequences. Tangible ones. But being obsessed with the a neuro-chemical climax... no harm, no foul. My dishes are done Dr. Bennet, my underwear are clean, well..." Jane paused to laugh slightly, "At least they are when I first put them on."
"So... all day, just... sex?"
"Not all day, like I said, and not just sex either... but sexual pleasure and all the wonderful emotions that enhance that... but that arena... yes ma'am, every fucking minute."
Isabelle felt her professional discretion slip slightly into genuine interest but her experience was able to keep her impartially focused, at least for the time being.
"Explain a little more about that, about these enhancing emotions."
"Confidence is always good," started Jane, "but sexual confidence is everything. Believing that your body is desirable, that you are deserving of it, that you can command it to certain ends and train it to certain... tolerances. Indiscretion is another. Allowing yourself to be ok with it dominating your thoughts. It's a constant inside joke that only you know the punchline to. How in a room of people, everyone else is pre-occupied with this or that, but my mind is consumed with my next orgasm, where it might happen, what are my immediate potentials, if that cute guy at the gym would get me there... does he fuck hard, or like to use his hands, and what does that feel like when I spread my legs for him? You see..." she snickered, "It devolves quickly."
"Those are very primitive emotions though Jane", contested Isabelle. "Discretion requires evolution... higher level thinking."
"Well consider me a happy fucking Neanderthal then. And I just... I think it's even further than that, in a way it's an evolution from what we have been to what we can be. But in another way, it's simply acknowledging that at our primitive core, we are hedonistic, pleasure seeking creatures. Over time, we women have felt it proper and saw fit to build a maze around that, and every worry or responsibility, the way we prioritize other emotions or endeavors, just adds another turn to that maze. Instead of winding my way through... I just live at the center of it. Did you ever see that movie The Matrix? Everyone walking around content and unaware because the machines built that construct to keep everyone asleep and complacent? Well I woke the fuck up."
"So why then, are you seeking therapy Jane?" Isabelle let the question linger intentionally for a moment. "If you feel so resolved in this, so justified in these indulgences... why are you here?"
Laughing slightly without looking up, it was the question Jane had been waiting for.
"You mistake my participation for desire Dr. Bennett. Apparently it is frowned upon to proposition a masseuse in the fine state of Colorado, even further less appreciated when you cum so fucking loudly on that masseuses hard cock that you empty the entire spa." Looking up, Jane intentionally locked eyes with her naive therapist, silently conveying her amusement. "It was the oil... and the sweat, the heat of room, and his fucking, glorious hands that could touch me what seemed like everywhere... all at once."
"I knew this was assigned but I don't need to hear..."
"But you do", interrupted Jane, "you absolutely do. If at the end of this you don't agree with me, we can call it a professional difference of perspective, but you need to hear me out before you can pass judgement. It wouldn't be scientific for you to do anything less."
"I'll agree to listen Jane", conceded Isabelle, "I'm not astounded by anything I've heard yet and trust me I've heard it all. You know what every sex therapy patient has in common, the witty intelligence to make the mundane sound extraordinary. You fucked your masseuse, and got off too... good job. Not everyone turns it into a seduction narrative from a smut novel. That's why you're here... to re-connect you with behavioral norms."
"The societal norm is wrong. It's just flat wrong", shot back Jane. "And newsflash... our role was contrived BY MEN. Be dutiful and doting. Raise a family. Have the dinner ready, house clean, chores done, and be ready when HE wants it cause his work is hard... wah wah, FUUUCK that. I've achieved a lot, and worked hard to get it, work ever harder to keep it, and I deserve mine. I deserve to choose what I want, where I want it, and as often as I like, even if that means fucking a massage table off its mounts."
"But see that's just it... you're prioritizing your wants over everyone else's. Everyone in that spa wanted, expected, 'earned' if you will, a peaceful spa experience... one free of vulgar interruptions and hedonism."
Jane smiled back reflexively, but it was evident from the slight shake of her head and pursed lips, that she took that comment with more pride than shame.
"I should have been quieter... I should have stifled it. I tried to apologize, and I honestly couldn't tell you if it was just unnaturally long or if it was just part of our divine giftedness in lacking a refractory period, but by the time I wound down, it was too late."
