You could have heard a pin drop when the class read the document in front of them. It simply stated,
'SENIOR YEAR SEXUALITY AND THERAPY COURSE β PRACTICAL EXAMINATION.'
This year the faculty will be doing an investigation into how males and females regard each other's genitalia. We know a lot about sexual attraction but very little about how partners regard each other's genitalia and whether this has any influence on their relationship. The class will be divided into males and females and each participant will agree to be both an exhibit and a reporter. Females will be expected to sit on a chair with their knees up and their vulva exposed while males will be expected to stand up. Participants will be given 10 minutes to observe and take notes.
Participation is voluntary. We will attempt to preserve your privacy by allotting each candidate a letter/number and when the results come in those letters will be replaced by a number in a lottery so that no individual can be recognised from their original letter and therefore comments can be made which will not be hurtful or embarrassing to any individual. Each person will expose their genitalia from behind a wall with a cut-out leaving only their genitalia exposed. Those who do not wish to participate can suggest their own topic of research.'
The class contained 10 males and 10 females, and only one of each gender withdrew from the examination. No instruction was given as to how each student was to classify what they were looking at β they were simply to describe what they saw and make judgements as to what was attractive and what was unattractive.
In groups of three, first the males stood in front of the cut-out and were examined by the females, and then the females were examined by the males. The results were handed in for collation and later discussion with both sexes present was held.
The discussion afterwards was most interesting as it became apparent that the range of difference was much larger than anybody expected. Hairy, shaved, large clitoris, small clitoris, large inner lips, small inner lips, short, long, light, dark, circumcised, cut - everything. It didn't seem to matter. Further research was needed.
The week after the discussion Tony singled out Maria and his opening gambit was direct.
"Were you F7?"
"Whatever makes you think that?"
"You are one of only three girls in the class who are not blonde or brunette and I've been watching and I haven't seen you with a man on campus. I know I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't resist β what I looked at was so inviting that I touched the clitoris with my finger and the person jumped. So I thought it must be someone who wasn't used to being touched."
"Well there's logic in what you say, but it wasn't me."
"Don't be embarrassed. You had the best looking pussy of them all. Was it you?"
"Okay. It was me. Let me guess who you were. You were M4."
"No. I was M6."
"Let me look at my notes. M6 was just after M4 in total attractiveness."
"What do your notes say for M4."
"Let's see. Nice pink colour, circumcised, estimated length 4 inches, prominent tip, I wonder what it would be like erect. Generally looks very good."
"So what did you say for M6?"
"Let's see. Length about 4 inches, uncircumcised, foreskin covers tip. Nice colour surrounded by light bush. I came back a few minutes later for second view. Now erect. Tip fully exposed β nice pink colour. Length now about 6 inches. Really attractive."
"That was nice. I'm glad you liked it."
"Okay, so what did you say about me?"
"F7. Very dark curly hair, neatly trimmed. Clitoris is very wide and large. The colour of the vulva is nice and pink and moist and stands out against the light covering of hair on the external labia. The lips are prominent but not too prominent. It smells very good."
"So how did you know it smelt good?"
"Well I touched it with my finger and then you jumped and I smelt it. You remember that? Why did you jump? Was it the first time a man has touched your clitoris?"
"I jumped because it was the first time a man had touched me down there. I'm a lesbian and my partner has touched me many times down there but that was the first time a man had done it."
"Was there any difference?"
"Yes. The pad on the woman's finger is much softer than a man's."
"If you're a lesbian, why did you participate at all?"
"That was my chance to see a man's cock. I'd never seen one before in the flesh and I had been wanting to for a long time."
"How did you become a lesbian?"
"I wasn't a lesbian before I came to the University. I had a good Catholic upbringing and all the boys my mother allowed me to meet were very well behaved. My first roommate was Alice and literally on the first night she jumped into my bed and kissed me and used her vibrator on me and I had my first orgasm. I was pretty much hooked from then on. That hasn't stopped me being interested in men."
"What an amazing story."
"So overall, what did you think of the results?"
"Well, remember, only the men looked at the women and the women looked at the men. I found it interesting that there were hardly any negative comments from the men. I think there was only one negative, comment about a woman being too hairy but apart from that everybody liked what they saw. I think women would have been a bit more critical. It seems that women are more worried about how they look and if they've got long inner lips, they seem to think that's ugly. You have to remember most women have never seen another woman's vulva close-up unless they are a lesbian or they've seen one on porn. As for the men, I found them all interesting. It didn't matter what shape or size, I didn't find anything objectionable about any of them. I really don't think that it makes much difference what a man or a woman looks like unless they are virgins who don't know what they're doing. What did you think of the results?"
"Let me say that I have been with a few women and they were all interesting to look at. Nothing would have stopped me making love to them when we got that far. I found it interesting to look at the diversity just within our group but nothing more than that. I think there are a lot more important factors involved once you got a girl naked and you're about to make love."
Maria said, "I would like to see you again. I mean really see you. My roommate Alice goes away every Saturday for the day. Can you come over to my room at around 9.15?"
"Sure."
At 9.15 on the dot Tony knocked on her door. Maria opened the door dressed in shorty pyjamas and welcomed Tony into the room. She looked stunning. Her breasts and nipples were visible through the almost sheer top and you could see the shadow of her dark bush through the bottom. There wasn't much furniture β two desks, a couple of chairs, two largish beds, a lounge, some paintings on the wall and a television.
"Sorry I cannot offer you anything to eat. We can go down to the cafe later."
"Sure. I'm not hungry."
"I've been fantasising about your cock every night since we last spoke."
