Mrs. Cherry Popper
J. R. Shane
- Every
- young
- man
- dreams
- of
- finding
- an
- older
- woman
- to
- teach
- him
- about
- sex.
- From
- the
- time
- a
- young
- man
- enters
- puberty,
- all
- he
- can
- think
- about
- is
- sex,
- and
- so
- it
- was
- with
- me.
- When
- I
- was
- young,
- I
- felt
- like
- a
- blind
- man
- driving
- a
- bus.
- So
- much
- energy,
- so
- much
- drive,
- yet
- with
- NO
- idea
- what
- I
- was
- doing.
- As
- the
- girls
- in
- school
- developed
- from
- silly
- lumps
- of
- clay
- into
- desirable
- sex
- goddesses,
- it
- left
- me
- with
- the
- front
- of
- my
- pants
- bulging
- at
- the
- most
- inconvenient
- of
- times.
- In
- class,
- my
- body
- seemed
- to
- know
- when
- it
- was
- my
- turn
- to
- stand
- and
- read
- aloud
- and,
- of
- course,
- that
- would
- be
- the
- moment
- for
- 'Mr.
- Winky'
- to
- suddenly
- get
- as
- hard
- as
- a
- tent
- pole.
- That
- would
- leave
- me
- standing
- with
- my
- free
- hand
- jammed
- tightly
- into
- my
- pocket.
- From
- the
- amount
- of
- female
- snickering
- I
- generated,
- apparently
- that
- lame
- attempt
- at
- cover
- was
- a
- total
- fail.
- And
- that
- was
- but
- one
- of
- the
- many
- circumstances
- when
- a
- youthful
- hard-on
- was
- NOT
- a
- good
- thing
- to
- have.In
- the
- late
- 1950's,
- there
- was
- really
- no
- source
- for
- information
- about
- sex
- available
- to
- a
- boy
- living
- in
- a
- rural
- area.
- There
- were
- the
- half-assed
- tales
- told
- by
- classmates,
- but
- those
- varied
- from
- the
- unbelievable
- to
- the
- absurd.
- Even
- I
- knew
- to
- discount
- them.
- If
- I
- managed
- to
- eavesdrop
- successfully,
- the
- stories
- told
- by
- older
- men
- carried
- more
- credibility,
- but
- they
- might
- as
- well
- have
- been
- tales
- of
- high
- adventure
- in
- foreign
- lands
- for
- all
- the
- good
- they
- did
- me.
- My
- father
- had
- died
- when
- I
- was
- very
- young
- so
- I
- did
- not
- even
- have
- him
- to
- talk
- with.
- About
- the
- only
- source
- I
- had
- for
- sexual
- information
- was
- my
- mother's
- secret
- stash
- of
- erotic
- literature
- that
- provided
- me
- with
- stimulation
- leading
- to
- many
- a
- happy
- session
- of
- releasing
- my
- little
- swimmers.Meeting
- Mrs.
- Easton
- was
- probably
- the
- greatest
- gift
- that
- God
- could
- ever
- give
- to
- a
- naive
- young
- man.
- By
- today's
- standard
- she
- would
- probably
- be
- called
- a
- "sexual
- predator",
- but
- back
- then,
- she
- was
- God's
- gift
- to
- young
- men
- who
- would
- otherwise
- not
- have
- known
- the
- pleasure
- of
- a
- woman's
- body
- until
- they
- were
- old
- enough
- to
- own
- a
- Master
- Card.
- Rather
- than
- being
- shamed
- as
- she
- might
- be
- today,
- such
- a
- woman
- typically
- brought
- askance
- glances
- from
- others
- while
- being
- generally
- accepted
- as
- a
- type
- of
- 'community
- service
- provider';
- her
- service
- being
- to
- enable
- parents
- to
- avoid
- the
- awkward
- effort
- of
- explaining
- the
- 'bird
- and
- bees'
- to
- their
- young
- sons.
- Goodness
- knows
- that
- she
- certainly
- provided
- a
- valuable
- service
- to me.
