Recap: Mary and Stan were two frequently arguing coworkers who, through an unfortunate set of circumstances involving money troubles and Mary's husband's badly broken leg, found themselves on the TV show "Intimate Explorations."
They had just finished filming four rounds of the cable show that combined counseling and nudity to resolve conflicts. During the fourth round, they were edged repeatedly on the pretense that it would improve their communication skills. Now they were on break waiting to participate in the internet-only subscription follow-up show, "Intimate Explorations: In-Depth."
Stan spoke quietly, "This is surreal. Did you think that the two of us would ever be sitting naked on a couch in front of a live audience?"
"Not just naked, but horny!" Mary laughed. "Even weirder, this is the most relaxed I've been since the show started."
Mary asked, "Do you still want to go on?"
"If we can get another $10,000, why not? They said we could stop whenever we wanted. Besides blue balls, I'm enjoying this way more than I expected."
"Me too. I thought I'd be mortified, but I'm loving these feelings! Who knew? Maybe I am an exhibitionist, like the counselor suggested."
The two watched as the set was rearranged. Most of the stage was removed, leaving a small stage in the middle. The audience seating wrapped around the remaining stage. Stagehands rolled out a sturdy terry cloth-covered massage table, which appeared wider than usual. They realized that they would be the center of attention and that every part of them would be visible to the audience.
"Whoa," Stan exclaimed. "It looks more like a zoo exhibit than a stage. My nerves are picking up again. How about you?"
"Me too; I think we better have a couple more gummies. Even with my nerves, I'm still wet. Good grief."
Barb, the MC, approached the two guests and said, "We're just about to start. Do you have any last-minute questions? Are you ready to go?"
"Just to be sure, every step requires our consent? No more surprises like shaving our pubic hair?" Mary asked.
"Absolutely," Barb replied. "No more personal grooming or make-up. This goes on the internet on an age-screened private subscription show, so anything goes. That also means that what goes online won't have blurring or fancy camera work to hide Stan's hard-on or your wet pussy. But to answer your question, you can stop anytime with no penalty. Remember, you must complete six activities to earn the $10,000 appearance fee. So, are you ready?"
Mary looked at Stan, "I guess we are, let's see how much we can make before we quit."
"Excellent!" Barb said as she led them to the center of the stage.
"Welcome to Intimate Explorations: In-Depth! Let's welcome our business colleagues in conflict, Mary and Stan!" After the applause settled down, "In our first show, our counselors led Mary and Stan to explore their conflict and its origins. The show finished with a communication exercise which, as you can see, Mary and Stan greatly enjoyed." Barb explained as she gestured towards Stan's hard cock, and Mary's swollen and glistening pussy. "In 'In Depth,' we continue the communication exercises by focusing on communicating each other's wants and needs as well as non-verbal communication.
"We begin by offering cash rewards for completing exercises to which both Mary and Stan must consent. As the show continues, Mary or Stan can make their own requests to each other, for which they may also receive rewards. If they make a request that would have been mine, they will receive twice the value I would have offered."
"Let's begin. Stan, for $100, would you massage Mary's neck and upper back?"
"Yes."
"Mary, are you Ok with Stan massaging your neck and upper back?"
"Yes."
"Mary, please lay face down on the table."
After Mary settled her nude body onto the table, Barb offered, "It can be uncomfortable for well-endowed ladies like yourself to lay on your stomach, so our massage table has a breast recess. Let me lower it for you." Barb explained as she lowered a portion of the terry-cloth-covered table under Mary's D-cups.
Mary was able to lay flat, but Barb made sure the lowered section would still touch Mary's stiff, dark pink nipples. As Barb stepped away from the table, she gave Stan a warm bottle of massage oil.
The oil contained a cocktail of skin-sensitizing and arousal-inducing herbs and drugs. All afternoon, everything Stan and Mary ate, drank, or contacted had been similarly dosed without their knowledge. The effects of the microdosing were planned to peak during this show.
"Remember, this is all about communication; let each other know what you want and how you are doing!"
As he began working the oil gently into Mary's neck, Stan asked, "How's the pressure?"
"It's ok for the neck, but please use more pressure when you reach my shoulders. That's where I carry a lot of tension."
After a bit, Mary asked, "You're pretty good at this. Have you had lessons?"
"No, but I've been getting weekly massages for years, and I know what I like," Stan replied.
"Really, where do you go?"
"I've been seeing Vera at Hands of Grace."
"I was seeing Tom at Hands of Grace before our money troubles began. Something we have in common I didn't know before."
"That's a comfortable conversation," Barb interjected. "But you're supposed to be communicating your feelings. Stan, how does Mary feel?"
"Her back is quite muscular; I'm enjoying the massage; she feels warm and alive under my fingers."
"Stan's touch is wonderful," Mary sighed. "I thought I had finally relaxed, but he's working out even more tension. He has great fingers! As he works the muscle, I can feel every fiber it's connected to; it's great!"
"Ok, you've finished the first activity," Barb announced as Stan massaged his way to the bottom of Mary's shoulder blades. Stan, for $200, would you massage Mary's mid-back down to the top of her butt?"
"I'd love to."
"Mary, do you consent to Stan massaging to the top of your ass?"
"Yes."
Each time Stan applied pressure, Mary's nipples rubbed on the terrycloth, sending a current of excitement to Mary's loins. As Stan rubbed lower along her ribs, he rubbed the sides of her breasts; Mary enjoyed it too much to object to the inappropriate touch.
"Your touch is heavenly," Mary sighed.
"So is your body." As he approached the top of Mary's ass, Stan felt his blood surge into his cock. "I have to say, your ass is as nice as your tits; it makes it hard to concentrate!"
"You two are doing great. Let's switch positions, Mary; for $100, would you massage Stan's neck and upper back?"
