"A Jewel of a Woman" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (female masturbation) 10, 9, 9, (Not Archived. See Mary Anne's website at

"A Jewel of a Woman" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@rainbow.uchicago.edu). When
the narrator masturbates, she doesn't fantasize about men. Instead, her
mind's eye is filled with beautiful precious stones: rubies inside her pussy
and emeralds up her ass.

Ya know, this poses a serious moral problem, which you can use if you go to
confession in a Catholic Church and want to have Fun with Father. Father is
supposed to maintain the belief that masturbation is a grave sin. Really. He
probably doesn't believe that himself, but it's Doctrine. So here's the
question: is it more evil to have a ferret or a ruby up your pussy when you
masturbate? I don't know the answer. The last time I asked that question was
back in the days when Catholics went to confession in dark boxes, and the
priest recognized my voice and told me to get the hell out of the
confessional. He subsequently left the priesthood and married a friend of
mine. I gave them a ferret for their tenth wedding anniversary. I couldn't
afford a ruby.

Anyway, Mary Anne has written better stories than this one, but it was still a
very good story. And I appreciated the opportunity to get this moral problem
off my chest. Confession is good for the soul. So are Jewels.
