* "Skinny Dipping with My Maiden Aunt" by Day Dreamer. Because of his mother's job, the 15-year-old narrator of this story has to stay with Aunt Sue on Grandpa's farm just outside town. The main difficulty is that they have only two bedrooms, and so he has to sleep with Aunt Sue in her big double bed. Talk about a transparent plot! Actually the situation not all that difficult: Aunt Sue is beautiful and the narrator has a deep and abiding interest in losing his virginity as soon as possible. In spite of sharing the bed with his aunt, Donny is initially virtuous, settling for simple wet dreams in which his imaginary partners look a lot like his bed-mate. When they go swimming, they initially wear their underwear, but it's hard to hide a hard-on in a skimpy bathing suit, and Sue's panties, do not remain opaque when they get wet. As I said, talk about a transparent plot! Well, opacity having been eliminated, Sue decides that it will be OK to go skinny dipping if Donny would like to go swimming again. Boy, would he! And remember, we mustn't tell Mom. And, of course, there's a rule: "Everyone can look all they want, but no handling the merchandise." I guess if the U.S. Constitution can be amended and if the Berlin Wall can come down, we should not be surprised that the Rules of Skinny Dipping can change; and they do. It gets to be pretty hot stuff. The New Rule is that touching and its concomitants should take place only in the pool at the creek, certainly not in bed, where they sleep and have mutual wet dreams together. Eventually the New Rule gets modified with a simple codicil that says it will be OK for them to mutually take each other's virginity. And maybe it would be OK to do it in bed if they were really quiet and didn't wake Grandpa, who seems to be pretty much deaf and senile anyway. As the song says, "Life gets complicated when you get past fourteen...." This is a very good story.
