Pornucopia

by Piers Anthony

  “The girl in polka-dot?” he asked, recognizing the description. “She takes an incubus?"

  “She will tonight.” The succubus elevated her knees, causing her cleft to open wider.

  “I haven't washed in a week. I'm cheesy and under four inches erect,” he pointed out. “You like six and can take eight."

  “Or even nine, in a bind,” she agreed. She sighed, her breasts almost flowing out of her dress, which was fashioned for support, not enclosure. “Harvesting you is something of a handicap, but there's something about your produce. I had a load from an advanced syphilitic later that night, and the spirochetes all shriveled up and died.” She shook her head, and her chin almost banged a breast. “Just like that, they expired—but the sperm cells stayed fresh. There's something unnatural about that."

  A succubus talking about the unnatural? Yet despite his aversion to her, Prior found his curiosity piqued. “How did you know about them dying?"

  “I tasted them, of course."

  He remembered. Her remarkable demonic vagina could taste and measure. “So you're VD resistant. What's that to me?” Then: “Say! That's why I never caught the clap!"

  “But I'm not resistant! I pass along whatever I receive, diseases and all. That's the beauty of it. I have no curative properties. I'm only a run-of-the-furnace sex demon, after all. So it must have been your fault. Nothing like that ever happened to me before, and not since."

  “My fault!"

  “Some residue from you must have acted on the next load, changing it. So I thought I'd try you again, after the effect wore off, and see if the same thing happened.” She shrugged out of her dress with a maneuver Prior couldn't follow, and lifted her legs up toward the ceiling. She had a fine looking aperture, and Prior's penis responded manfully—until he remembered again what he had seen on the beach. She might not have VD right now, but the idea of that hole forming into a phallus caused his own phallus to shrink in dismay.

  “Put it right here, lover,” she invited, twitching the muscles of her buttocks so that her vulva winked at him.

  Prior knew how persistent she could be. She would keep after him until she got her crevice properly stuffed. How could he get rid of her without a scene that would bring the nosey landlord galumphing down the hall?

  His eye fell on the cigarette dispenser. Something clicked snidely in his mind. The succubus was lying with her head away from him, tilted so that she could not see him below the general region of his waist.

  “Let's have ol Lingam right up Yoni,” she murmured, doing a brisk bicycle-pedaling exercise that was something to behold from this angle.

  He picked up the machine and turned it on, holding it low. “Coming, lover,” he said.

  He tilted the business end appropriately and set the box against her half-creased buttocks.

  The sensor-filament poked out and tickled her crack. “Oooh, you've been practicing!” she whispered, wriggling with delight.

  The machine hummed. Prior hummed too, to conceal the noise. “You sound happy,” she said. “Glad you changed your mind. Fucking can be fun, you know."

  Then a slender cigar popped out and nudged into her vulva. “You don't have a full erection, though,” she complained. “That's not even a four inch penetration. Come on, get it hard!"

  Obligingly, the machine poked the cigar in farther. “Now you taste like tobacco! What have you been doing to that little prick?"

  The machine lit the projecting end. Smoke curled aromatically up between her legs. “You're really getting hot now,” she said, smiling blissfully.

  “You don't know the half of it,” he told her. And waited. The cigar would ordinarily have taken much longer to burn, but its deep placement brought the lighted end much closer to the nether lips that held it.

  “Aren't you going to squeeze me a little?” she asked. “Not that I care, as long as your meat is fired up like this, but it is an odd technique."

  Prior mumbled something reassuring, his eye on the advancing glow. He began to experience apprehension. How did demons react to hotfoots in their cracks?

  By and by she hit the ceiling, almost literally.

  “Hot box,” Prior remarked as she bounced down. Was that a set of footprints in the plaster up there?

  The cigar shot out of her cleft and threw sparks against the rug as it bounced and rolled. The succubus took a moment to assess what had happened, rubbing her crotch vigorously. “You shithead pekkernosed pimpsucker,” she said. Then she worked up to some ugly language.

  By the time she got her first impressions out of her demonic spleen, she had converted to the male form. The incubus advanced on Prior, his monstrous penis projecting like a cannon. “I'm going to fuck your asshole right into your gizzard!"

  “You can't,” Prior said, backing away nervously. She was certainly overreacting, but the threat put an unholy fear into him. She? He. It was overreacting. “I'm not asleep, so your supervisor would object."

  “It's supe's night off. He's fucking herself blind on sperm whale oil, so I can do what I want."

  So an incubus/succubus could fuck himself! That would have been intriguing to contemplate, at another time. ‘Well, you don't have a load on yet."

  “There's some stale stuff left over from last night. What did you think you were doing, ramming a lighted weed up my cunt?"

  Prior eyed the menacing phallus with increasing apprehension. He had hoped she would go away mad. She was mad, but not going away. He had miscalculated.

  “It's an invention. A—” Here he had a flash of sheer genius. “A tampon machine!"

  “You shrimpcocked idiot! I'm a demon! A supernatural creature. I don't have periods. I never have the rag on.” But the incubus paused. “What was it doing with a cigar?"

  “I ran out of tampons."

  The incubus pondered. His ferocious erection drooped slightly. “Oh, all right. We'll call it a nicotine dildo with a live fuse and forget it. Just don't do it again. Now let's finish our business."

  Prior watched as the massive member shrank into itself and the flat male breasts swelled. It was as though the substance was being siphoned from the lower torso to the upper. Finally the penis was a mere button, no larger than a clitoris. In fact, it was the clitoris. Meanwhile the scrotum sucked up and became an empty sac, a flap, a wrinkle of skin, and finally a concavity. Prior was now looking at the lips of the vagina, and knew that the deep aperture was forming between them.

  How convenient. The succubus received the semen in her inverted scrotum. When she changed into the incubus, it was right there. Probably her ovaries became his testicles—if the demon had need of either.

  Somehow Prior's own genital remained quiescent. He had no slightest urge to entrust his precious penis to that demonic grinder again, or to let this spook retail his ejaculate. Not even to the polka-dot girl, who was a fetching number.

  “Come on, come on!” the succubus said impatiently. “And I do mean ‘come.’ You aren't the only cock of the morn."

  “I'm rather busy with my tamponer,” he said. “Research and development, you know.” Would the Hygiene Clinic be interested enough to bestow a grant?

  “Well, I'm busy with my researches too,” she countered. “I want to know whether your jism cures VD or not.” She backed against the bed and sat down.

  On the now-upright machine.

  Water squirted as the after-smoke rinse started. “Mouthwash!” she screamed indignantly. “It fucked me with mouthwash!"

  Prior grabbed her in time to prevent her from smashing the tamponer. She immediately exerted her sex appeal on him, trying for a sneak collection, while he tried to escape.

  In this moment of crisis he suffered his second consecutive flash of genius. “We can test them both out—box and juice—on the slots!"

  She considered. “Very well. For now. The night is yet young."

  Chapter 5—Slots

  She dressed, her dress magically flowing to her and enfolding her. He changed, and they both adjourned to a drug
store for a box of tampons and thence to the corner coin bordello. Here there were half-stalls in a row, each with its fleshy display and listed price. The most elegant cost six tokens; the cheapest was one token.

  Prior brought out his credit voucher and bought a dozen tokens. This set him back, at present exchange rates, about sixty dollars. Not a major expense, but not chickenfeed either, for one experimental session.

  “That won't go far,” the succubus remarked.

  “Far enough on the one-per slots,” he pointed out. “Those are the VD slurps, after all. From two-tokens up they're inspected, and the fives and sixes are guaranteed germfree."

  “That so? I never patronized a coinery before. Not in my line."

  “You might consider it. Those are real whores in the booths, you know, mostly. Apart from the animals and machines, I mean. Figure it out. In the first place, it's completely anonymous; nothing but the business end ever shows. In the second place, it's concentrated action. A girl can get serviced maybe ten times an hour with normal traffic, ten hours a day. Even an average three-toke ass can make three or four hundred dollars a shift. That's not bad pay at all."

  “What use have I for money?” she asked disdainfully.

  “But she gets a load each time; too. You could store up a week's worth, just like that."

  “No go. I have to pass it along as I get it, or it loses its potency. One shot at a time."

  “Maybe you could have two booths. Then when you get one load, you shift to a male-booth and dole it out at another couple tokens per squirt. You could go through your whole evening's business in less than an hour. If you don't want the money, give it to me. I'm natural, not supernatural; I have to eat to live."

  “I'll think about it,” she said, intrigued.

  They walked by the higher-priced models of the female section. Each booth contained a pair of buttocks projecting from the wall, the distaff genitalia plainly visible. About half were occupied: men stood against them, flies open, organs pumping. The more expensive stands had armholes, so that the customer could reach through and fondle or abuse the breasts and torso while thrusting, and the six-toke booths were partially transparent when activated so that the prosperous client could even see what he was doing.

  Prior stopped by the first of the cheapies. The buttocks were plump—grossly so. The cleft was hardly visible, being buried beneath overlapping avoirdupois even in this flexed position. There were pimples, and the crevice was creasy. Perhaps it was only sweat—but there was a good chance that it was the flow from venereal sores.

  Prior reached out gingerly and tried to spread the fleshy masses to verify this. They resisted. They were surprisingly hard, as though glazed. A sign lit, above: ONE TOKEN.

  He drew out a token and pressed it edgewise between those mounds. There was a click as it entered the slot set in the anus; the disk vanished, something gulped, and the buttocks relaxed. Another sign came on. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

  “Well, shove it in!” the succubus said. “A four minute fuck is too long; you see the sign."

  Prior did not want to admit that he still had no erection, and was unlikely to get one at this stop. This fat ass was repulsive. “But I'm not sure it's infected! If I shoot my wad and there's no VD to begin with—"

  “I'll check it for you,” she said impatiently. She poked a finger into the cleavage and slid it along the blubbery labia until it entered the sunken hole.

  “Don't play with it!” a muffled voice cried from behind the wall. “Fuck it! That's what it's there for!” It was the owner of the ponderous derrière.

  The succubus ignored this intemperate outburst. She swished her long-nailed finger inside and brought it out dripping. She touched her tongue to it. “Neat's-foot oil,” she announced.

  “What?"

  “Neat's-foot oil. Old standby to soften saddles and shoe leather."

  “Saddle soap?” Prior gaped but saw she was serious. “It figures. A one-toke slot gets a lot of rough action. Probably has to be lathered up right or it hardens and cracks."

  “Fuck it, eunuch!” the muffled voice pleaded.

  “All in good time, ass,” the succubus snapped, slapping a buttock.

  “But does it have VD?” Prior demanded.

  “No."

  “Then we'd better try the tamponer,” he said with relief.

  “That's right! I forgot."

  YOU HAVE THIRTY SECONDS TO COMPLETE YOUR BUSINESS, the sign warned.

  “What happens if you don't finish in time?” the succubus asked, curious.

  “It freezes up, and anything in there is stuck. Then you have to pay again, or have the fairy janitor pry you loose."

  “Clever!” She shoved the box against the buttocks.

  The filament came out and performed its exploration. “Stop that!” the muffled voice cried angrily. “Quit tickling and fuck it, you fuckin’ impotent!"

  A cigarette emerged and found loose lodging. “You forgot to stock it with those tampons you bought!” the succubus exclaimed, smiling. She evidently found humor in the situation, now that she was not the victim.

  VIOLATION, the sign said, and a red flag popped up. The labia and buttocks closed around the cigarette and stiffened as though instant rigor mortis had set in. Any dawdling penis would have been in sorry straits.

  “Serves you right, slowpoke!” the muffled voice chortled, thinking it was a pinioned penis.

  Undismayed, the machine lit the cigarette, doused its light, and closed up shop.

  “Let's get out of here,” Prior said, seeing the weed glow slowly down toward the oiled flesh. “Does neat's-foot oil burn? There could be an explosion. The management might not approve."

  “Serves her right,” the succubus said smugly.

  They moved on to the next unoccupied booth. This offering was sunny side up, the spread thighs disappearing at an angle into the wall above. Prior found the coinslot and pressed in a token.

  “Doesn't it stretch those twats?” the succubus inquired.

  “No more than a turd does. The tokens aren't that big, and the mechanism is self-contained and shaped to the bowel. The same unit injects the flesh-stiffener and its antidote. A very efficient setup."

  “I'd still call it dirty money,” she muttered. “The management must have a ball collecting and counting it."

  The vagina came alive. The succubus inserted her finger again and sampled it. “Jackpot! Syphilis!"

  Prior's member acted as though he were turning into a succubus himself. He didn't like the sound of this. “Are you sure my—that it works on syph, too?"

  “Of course I'm not sure! That's why we're here! If you die of syphilis I'll be generous enough to admit my theory was wrong."

  Prior couldn't debate that reasoning, though somehow he was not reassured. He brought out his penis, and it tried to elude his grasp and hide. He hauled it out again, and it dangled like a decapitated snake. He massaged it, trying to work it into a suitable erection. The organ inflated only to half-mast, then began to subside.

  “Hurry it up!” the succubus said. “Time is money."

  “I thought you didn't care about money."

  “I don't; you do. Get your midget pekker into the soup!"

  But it shriveled like an embarrassed worm until it was largely absent. The VIOLATION sign came on.

  “Oh for pity's sake!” she said. “Here—I'll take care of it. Come on over to the arcade section."

  She led him to the sexview stalls, his fly still open and his little penis peeping out pitifully. No one noticed. The succubus seemed pretty knowledgeable for a creature who had never patronized a place like this.

  Here, for a token, men and women could assimilate three-dimensional stereophonic odoriphorous semitactile eroticism.

  Each item was rated on a sliding scale: guaranteed to bring a person to spontaneous climax within a specified period. If it failed to do so, his token was refunded. Of course he had to submit his genitals to a quick machine inspection to verify that his gun had not
been fired within the past half hour, and the offer was void if certain suppressant drugs were employed. Men had been known to try to beat the machine by injecting Novocain into their erectile tissue to deaden all sensation. (It didn't work; the climactic stimulus acted on the brain, not the meat.)

  Of course it was rumored that a sensitizing drug was injected by the arcade machine during its check for desensitizing drugs—but hardly anybody worried about that. An orgasm was an orgasm, after all, and a sexview orgasm was mighty good regardless.

  Prior rammed in his token with more authority than his penis evinced, and passed inspection. He donned the helmet, settling the binoculars over his open eyes, the headphones over his ears, the nosecone over his nose, and the tactile band over his forehead and the back of his neck. The tape came on and the timer started.

  The succubus watched his penis climb rapidly and achieve full turgidity. It quivered and thrust toward the collection basin, on the verge of detonation, while Prior's open mouth gasped and drooled. There was obviously quite a show going on in his head! Fifteen seconds had passed; five to go. (The price rose exponentially for emissions within twelve seconds, or for males under thirteen, or for frigid women.)

  As the fit came over him, she hoisted her skirt, turned her torso about, and jammed her thirsty cavity onto the short pole, receiving the full ejaculation. It was a large one—a dozen jets—showing that he hadn't been tapped in some time. She smiled with satisfaction as she eased off the perch.

  Prior removed the helmet. “Whew! That was so real it felt real!” Then he noted her position and remembered what they had come for. “You—did you—"

  “Next time I incubate,” she said as she straightened out, “I'm going to try one of those shows. This one sure lifted your counterweight."

  “Incubate?” He was still groggy from the sexview presentation. Whoever had authored the script for the sequence he had just experienced must have had a hot jock and a sick mind. It was potent stuff!

  “I'm succubating at the moment."

  “Oh.” Obviously. Apparently she didn't have to change sexes the moment she got her load on; she could do it at her convenience.
