Perspective: The Nympho Sister
I'm sitting in my downtown office typing notes about the sexual deviancies of older women. Particularly what drives older women to do naughty things. It may sound like an odd thing to write about, but I'm a sex columnist for a major publication.
My phone beeps while I'm in deep concentration. It's my older sister Miranda and she wants to know if I'm interested in a family camping trip in two weeks. Of course I'm interested.
For some reason this clicks in my mind. My older sister Miranda is the prototype for what I'm writing about. She's 45 years old, a suburban woman, a soccer mom, a church wife -- the exact opposite of me.
I text her back:
Sure! Send me the details.
A few minutes later, Miranda sends a text which details the plan. For context, we're both married with college-aged kids. Our personalities are worlds apart, but we make a concerted effort to maintain a strong bond. That means lots of family parties and trips. I'm always interested in parties.
The plan is for our families to drive to an outdoor location and spend the weekend there. We ride in two vans. The fun is that each van is always mixed. Our families blend and we get to catch up during the long rides.
I forward the message to my husband and daughters. They're excited, as always.
To everyone, this is a family trip.
To me, this is work. The article I'm conjuring about mature women and their sex lives is something long term. I'm in no rush to publish it. However, it's a great opportunity, isn't it? Miranda always lets her guard down on family vacations and I think I'll take advantage of that.

We meet at her house on the day of the trip. It's the break of dawn. Both of our families are loading things in both vans. Everyone else is outside, but I'm with Miranda in the kitchen, doing a final raid on the refrigerator for snacks and drinks.
Even at 6:30 in the morning, Miranda looks like a model for a clothing catalog, something that advertises towards middle-aged suburban white women. Her clothes are symmetrical and pressed. Pants and sweater are form fitting. Every strand of hair on her head is styled in the right direction.
"How's work?" I ask, moving things toward the inevitable conversation.
"Work's good. You know, the usual. I have a client that recently suffered a mental breakdown. I've been helping her through the worst parts, which keeps me busy."
Like I care, but it's a good start. She's a therapist and does good deeds.
"Mental health is very important," I say.
"Absolutely. What about yourself? Doing anything interesting?"
We finish loading two baskets of snacks, one for each van. It's time to lay the foundation while we still have privacy.
"If you had to fuck one person on this trip..." my voice lingers. "Besides your husband, who would it be?"
Miranda's jaw hangs for a moment. Then she squints at me. These are my usual hijinks and oddball questions. Growing up together, I loved throwing her in a loop. She was a straight-A student and perfectionist. She's still a perfectionist at everything she does, which is why it's fun to tease her.
"You're talking about family?" she asks.
"Yeah, I'm interested."
"Family?"
I nod. "Yours or mine. Blood relations. Who would you fuck? Your daughter?
My
daughter? Me?"
"You expect an answer to that?" she says.
"It's for an article I'm working on. Seriously. Don't worry, your answer is anonymous. I always protect sources."
She laughs it off. "My son, I guess. Have you seen his body?"
Her son? Interesting choice. I could imagine Miranda having secret lesbian fantasies, lusting after one of my daughters, or even me. But her son?
"So you'd fuck Leo?"
Miranda's jaw drops. "You realize that was a joke, right? Don't repeat that. Ever. Not to me. Not to anyone."
"Like I said, I always protect sources."
When I smile, Miranda smiles in return. It's easy to calm her down and she never holds a grudge against me. After all, we're family.

The younger members of the family swim in the lake. Miranda goes with our husbands on a brief hike because they're desperate for pictures of the mountainside. I prepare the grill. Trust me, I know how to make the most delicious steak sandwiches.
As it turns out, the moment is too perfect. There are loud whistling noises from above. I see green and red lines in the sky and they crash miles away from our location. The sound of the crash is thunderous.
There's commotion amongst all the siblings. They calm each other. I'm still shocked by the booming sounds. The green and red streaks are still in the sky. It's faint but I can see it. I run to the van to grab my phone. I need to record this, since I work in the media business.
"Damn, a meteor strike," Leo says, after stepping out of the water.
The young man approaches me with water dripping from his body. He's excited by the sound and fury of the situation. I'm focused on the scoop I've recorded along with his physique. No wonder Miranda wants to fuck her own son. I don't care if she claimed to be joking, I know she wants it.
"Pretty cool, right?" I smile.
"That was incredible. Send me the video you recorded."
"Sure, but don't put it on social media. This scoop is mine."
He laughs. "Yeah, of course."
I avoid gazing at his body. Normally, I'd just think he's a handsome young man. Now, I'm plotting to get Miranda and Leo to suck/fuck. It's plausible as far as I'm concerned. I've read enough about human sexuality to know that women are capable of anything if pushed.
Speaking of which, Miranda and our husbands return to the camp site around ten minutes later. There's something wrong. Miranda appears to be trembling in her husband's arms. There are green ashes on all three of them.
We rush to meet them. We ask if they're okay. They say they're fine.
"Miranda is a bit shaken," the husband says. "The sound of the impact has given her shock. She'll be fine. She'll be fine."
Whatever her husband says, I trust, because the guy is a doctor.
I take over the responsibility of caring for Miranda, hugging her and rubbing her arms. She's trembling. Her eyes are wide. There's green dust in her hair and clothes from the meteorite.
"Come on, I'll get you cleaned up," I say.
Miranda nods. "Thank you. I'd like that."
