One late Friday afternoon while working at my desk after all the students had left the building Crystal walked into my room shouting.
"You ready?"
"Give me a quick second." I responded.
"I don't do quickies Nikki!" the smart ass replied.
Once in the car we were on our way down Highway 5.
"Another week and I don't think the bastards learn a fucking think?" Crystal blurts out.
"They are going through so much, don't you remember that part of your life Crystal?" I questioned.
Crystal replied, "Fuckers purposely push my buttons!"
Classic Crystal. Great friend but no filter what so ever around me. Sometimes I think she says things to get a response from me. Being the prude I am I never respond.
Today was different!
Crystal started describing her own life and the things she went through sexually.
I had no idea people were so open sexually.
She lost her virginity, gave a blowjob and swallowed a load of cum on the same day...
Weeks later she discovered her lesbian wants and anal. All by her 21st birthday...
"Active little fucker weren't you?" I blurt out.
She smiles a devilish smile. "Didn't know I was bi did you Nikki?" Crystal quips back.
"NO I honestly did not know that." I said.
In my head I was reviewing my own sexual experiences, a comparison between myself and Crystal.
I first got laid in my junior year of college, gave a blow job the same year and have never been with a woman. Fuck, I have only been with one man my entire life.
Depression set in as I noticed for the first time in my life that I was a sexual prude.
"What is it Nikki? You look so sad all the sudden." Crystal says.
"Nothing, I was just thinking of my own sexual experiences and lets just say, I am a sexual prude." I replied.
"Probably not!" Crystal said.
In a aggravated tone I started to outline my sexual experiences for Crystal to understand where I was coming from.
"Fuck, your not a prude, your sexually depriving yourself Nikki." Crystal quipped.
Tears ran down my face as I agonized over her statement. I was sexually deprived.
The car turned into my driveway and I noticed Patrick, my husband, mowing the lawn.
"Too hot to mow today." said Crystal. "See you Monday!" she shouted as I exited the car.
Patrick walked to meet me in the driveway and noticed I had been crying. "Bad day at work?" he asked.
"No, sad about something Crystal and I were talking about." I said.
Patrick looked at me and asked, "Anything I can help with?"
"No." I replied and walked into the house greeted by the cat, my 17 year old and my 21 year old daughters.
"Mommy!" This was the best part of my week.
Patrick came in and went straight to the shower. I followed, after the girls left for their Friday night outings.
I walked to the bathroom and said to Patrick,
"Question? Am I a sexual prude? and be honest. I was talking with Crystal and she said something that really got to me. She said she had sex by her 21st birthday but I never had sex until we started dating in college."
"I am not sure a prude is the right term. Too derogatory, I would say you are not sexually mature to be honest." Patrick stated.
"NOT SEXUALLY MATURE?" I said with a hurting tone.
Patrick waited a minute, turned off the shower and exited to stand beside me.
"What I mean is that you don't let go sexually, you have hangups most people grow out of over time. You do not like having your pussy licked, does nothing for you. You will not give a blowjob after intercourse, too disgusting, and with that said, our sex life is Sunday morning rolling over you parting your legs me humping you for 15 minutes and then small talk and shower. About right?, You asked for honesty."
Tears streamed down my face as I heard the truths explode from Patrick's lips. Everything he said was true. I have never let myself sexually mature past my childish fears. I was always fearful of receiving oral sex and felt it would be disgusting to give oral after intercourse.
I needed some one on one time with someone who could look at this objectively.
I called Crystal, "Crystal, lets go out for some drinks tonight, I'm buying." I said on the phone.
"Great can Frank come too?" She asked.
"Sure bring Frank!" I replied.
We met at the Pelican, a local dive. Not being much of a drinker I had a glass of wine, Crystal had a rum and coke and Frank had a beer.
We sat talking small talk about work.
I was so nervous, especially with Frank there but I was determined to get this out of me.
"OK, I am going to describe how Patrick and I enjoy our sexual time and I want you two to give me your honest opinions. OK?" I asked
Frank, snickers but Crystal slams an elbow into his ribs. "You have our honest opinions and it stays between the three of us. Right Frank?" Crystal states.
"YES" Frank agrees.
I describe what Patrick was outlying and I saw the look of horror plastered on their faces.
"Really?" Crystal states. "I would Divorce you in a heart beat." Frank blurted out.
"What he said." Crystal chimed in pointing to Frank.
"Nikki, that is very immature as an adult. Whats the hangup?" Crystal asked.
"I led a sheltered life and was raised to be a proper woman. Proper woman do not indulge in such activities." I answered.
