"Ripe" by BronwenSM (bronwen@anon.nymserver.com). I was once in a graduate course where, for some reason, the professor showed on the big screen a picture of a woman with really large breasts. I think the purpose was to demonstrate the impact of distractions on meaningful information. The professor asked us to summarize the contents of what we had seen and, of course, none of us could do this, because we were all overwhelmed with the thought of those magnificent tits or related events. However, as soon as he asked the question, one lady shot her hand up, and said, "The whole thing reminded me of the value of motherhood." She was serious, but the rest of us howled with laughter.

So in this story we have a women who is obscenely large, cradled like a peach in packaging, a pillow between her thighs, another under her belly, three supporting her head and shoulders, a melted pack of peas between the soles of her feet, sweating bullets in the hottest summer of hot summers, and yet she is beautiful. Maybe you have to have been there - or gotten somebody there; but pregnant sex can be beautiful, even in Great Britain.

This is a very nice, romantic, sexy story.
