"Janey's Bet" by Miles Naismith (mnaismith@hotmail.com).

This is another one of those "true" stories. Its disclaimer ends with the

sentence, "Have I ever lied to you?" As I read those words, I couldn't help

thinking, "Is it right to answer a rhetorical question with a rhetorical

question? Does the pope shit in the woods?" Has this author ever done

anything OTHER than lie to me?
 

I knew nothing except that I knew nothing; and so, like Xanthippe, I

terminated my Socratic dialogue and got on with the story.
 

Our narrator (Miles) and his wife Jackie have meet Bob and Janey at a bar not

far from Harvard Yard. Janey is the author of those erotic stories you have

cum to know and love on this newsgroup. Miles and Jackie are both aficionados

of Janey's stories, and so they figure maybe they'll get some action. They

arrange to meet for dinner and then retire to the condo, and Miles has his

hopes boosted when Janey utters these sexy words to him: "Miles, you're nice.

I know I will enjoy being with you." Miles replies, " We need to do at least

something, I think. I expect Jackie would feel guilty if I didn't participate

in this somehow, and you seem to feel the same despite the lack of chemistry

for you."
 

So, while Bob and Jackie go for a romp in the bedroom, Miles makes a wager

with Janey. From Janey's perspective it's one of those "heads I win, tales you

lose bets": if Miles wins he gets to pamper Janey, and if Janey wins she gets

pampered by Miles. There are also side bets or corollaries or whatever

gamblers call it when the loser has to give the other person his/her pubic

hair as part of the bet.
 

The sex involves some things that don't particularly turn me on (bondage and

shaving), but it was very tasteful and sexy. This tale is not in a class with

Janey's own descriptions of her adventures, but it's still a very good story.
