Liddy had been too subdued by the intensity of her orgasms to really talk much as we wound up after our impromptu exercise in Skype (or whatever it is you use these days) sex. Clearly she had been flooded with Oxytocin, but without a physical body to hug, she could do little but offer up a stream of sincere, softly spoken thank yous before we rung off.
In a way I was pleasantly surprised she was missing sex with me so much. When she'd first come aboard the yacht all those years ago, she was fairly shocked, not just by the fact there were already three younger women sleeping with me on it, but as much by the fact sex was a daily demand for most of them.
She'd inferred that after a while sex surely became a bit of a take it or leave it thing for older women; nice in controlled doses, but something that could quickly become a burden if there was too much of it and the absence of which was no big deal. Her cynical approach at that time may not have been helped by the abusive nature of her short lived second marriage after her first much loved husband had died in a car accident.
It had been Liddy who had coined the "effervescence" description of Amy's completely over the top sexual appetite; inferring it was something that would soon run out of bubbles.
Well many years on, and Amy is still effervescing. And Liddy did a pretty good job of effervescing herself for a while, eventually settling down to the two to three times a week we were having sex just before she left to visit her daughter in New York.
It was a chirpier Liddy that Amy and I spoke to by Skype the following day. However, there had been consequences of the previous day's activities. The noise of Amy's profanity strewn orgasmic screams and even, it appears, Liddy's far from quiet moans, had penetrated through into the other rooms where her daughter, son in law and new born baby were sitting. Liddy seemed amused by how shocked her daughter had been. Shocked that her mother had Skype sex, shocked by the fact that it was effectively a threesome and shocked by the intensity of it, let alone the profanities. Then there was the usual yuck factor of any child in contemplating their parent having sex.
Her daughter may have been aware, even accepting, that Liddy was in a polygamous relationship, but confronting the reality of it was another thing.
But probably Liddy's real amusement lay in seeing how much of her former self she'd built into her daughter. Liddy had been brought up in a very conservative Jewish family. She remained amused by the contradiction of her mother insisting that Liddy, then still a teenager, get sizable breast implants to give her the sort of bustle or bulge, in the very modest, figure hiding, clothing they wore, which would attract a good Jewish boy as her husband.
She'd had no complaints about the outcome. Her surgeon husband of 30 years had been good and kind, if a tad unadventurous and probably on the high functioning end of the Asperger's spectrum. But while that had meant nothing but missionary sex for those thirty years, over time they'd effectively become non-practicing, even if they hadn't outright rejected their faith and the community around it. The rejection of it for Liddy came when the community - including her parents - shoe horned her into her second abusive marriage and rejected her when she abandoned it; but that's another story.
But it seemed her daughter had been left behind somewhere along the trail of conservatism while her mother broke out.
Anyway, headphones were a definite necessity for the next time.
We spoke with her daily during the rest of the week, but I was soon to find out that Amy was having additional conversations dealing with topics well outside those covered in our group one.
Amy's an interesting character now her extroverted self has been allowed to escape. One of the sides to her that endears her to others is that she'll always go the extra mile to help someone else to the best possible outcome. So it turned out to be with the Skype sex with Liddy. Amy had followed up with Liddy on the good and the less good with what had occurred and set out to deal with the less good. I think some fairly explicit details had been gone into, so I could understand why the girls decided to deal with it between themselves.
A package arrived during the week for Amy and as she opened it, she showed me a stereoscopic camera with optional head or hand held mounts; sort of like a stereoscopic GoPro.
It seems that one limitation for Liddy had been the side view of the whole thing. To use my own phrase to describe the issue, for Liddy it had been a porn show to masturbate to and while it worked quite nicely because it was Amy and me as the actors, something more immersive in its point of view might work better.
Amy had done enough research to know it could all be hooked up through the internet to artificial reality goggles Liddy would be wearing, without us risking going public with the connection - or so I hoped anyway. Plus Liddy's goggles would have earpieces to stop Amy's screams from being quite as public.
I was a bit more sceptical about the other modification to the arrangement, but happy to plead total ignorance. Amy told me Liddy had trouble keeping the dildo in when she wanted to use her hands elsewhere or just not have them between her legs in a way that spoilt the constructed reality. So they were going to use a tightly drawn up pair of bikini pants, the crotch pulled aside or returned into place as the need arose, to keep it in place; the inference being Amy would wear a matching pair to maintain the point of view consistency.
I was sceptical because sex with her bikini still on is one of Amy's little occasional peculiarities, something I'm happy to indulge because the origin of it goes back to her own abusive relationship. Plus the twisting movement on that dildo looked as though it would drill through concrete. I didn't see how a pair of bikini pants would stop it worming its way out. But who was I to judge such things against Amy's reassurances they would do a satisfactory job.
When the next date night (for want of a more literal description) came around, Amy had spent the morning on line with Liddy setting things up and testing it. I think there was some fairly explicit discussion occurred, so I left them to it; not doubting I would be told what my job was when the time came.
Ten minutes before we were due to set up the conference, Amy came to me...
"OK, lets go in and discuss the script."
