Religious Liberty On Trial

by Debbie Lawrence

  Daisy was concerned "Doesn't it upset you that I'm out with these men?"

  Tina giggled. "You're with a different guy every night, but you're with ME every night. If that works for you, it works for me!"

  Daisy smiled "I know! We need to get you a guy too! That way I wouldn't feel so bad, because you're getting something too."

  Tina winced "Guys - not really my thing! Beatings?"

  Daisy smiled "I'll find you a guy so sweet you won't feel threatened."

  Tina calmed "I guess, if that's what you want, I could at least try."

  Daisy squealed with glee "I can't wait. I'll take care of everything!"

  Research

  Alice came into Nancy's office with an entire three-ring binder 3 inches thick full of research.

  Nancy was confused "What's all this? A NEW project?"

  Alice shook her head "No, this is all the research I found in the downtown library. You were right, that's a great resource, I had no idea there would be so much material."

  Nancy chuckled "Neither did I. I figured you'd be lucky to get more than a few pages. This looks more like around 200 pages."

  Alice beamed "Over 300 pages actually. I put them in sheet protectors so I could pull them and copy them without punching holes in them. There's almost 50 years’ worth of information here, from Lille Elbe, the first transsexual woman to get a sex change, all the way to some recent adult film stars like Sulka, Kim Christie, and Shannon. Both have made movies of before and after their operations."

  Nancy's eyes went wide "Wow! I had no idea that there was so much information. Those operations, were those done is Europe?"

  Alice shook her head "No, there's a doctor in Trinidad who does the procedures here in the United States. I guess John's Hopkins was doing them or a while and botched them so badly that they had to stop. Badly taken notes and insufficient screening and preparation."

  Nancy squinted "Wait, you've READ all this?"

  Alice giggled "Of course! I had to decide which ones were worth clipping, which was noise, and which was just superstition. I even included some information on some of the cultures that involve voluntary castration."

  Nancy nodded "Like in India?"

  Alice nodded "India, China, the Philippines, even Africa and the Middle East."

  Nancy was impressed "All those places?"

  Alice smiled "And North and South America. In most of these cultures, the voluntary castrati were considered exceptionally wise, able to tell the future, able to predict outcomes, and had the ability to give very reliable political advice. Perhaps because they could see things as both a man and a woman, or perhaps because they challenged conventional thinking, families, and existence itself. The Oracles of Greece, Egypt, and Rome may have been castrati"

  Nancy "I'd only heard of Eunuchs guarding harems"

  Alice laughed "The Hollywood version of Eunuchs being big strong men is comical. Actually, the eunuchs would live among the wives, but were armed. They looked just like the other women, so by the time an intruder got in, the eunuch could very quickly and discretely terminate the threat."

  Nancy smiled "So were the eunuch's gay?"

  Alice shook her head "Actually, the stories of Don Juan or Don Giovanni, were actually based on a real person, Giovanni Casanova, who was a soprano castrati and played women in operas. He was such a great lover because he was a castrato, and thus, even when a husband knew that she was cavorting with Giovanni, he knew that she couldn't get pregnant, or even diseased. When a political official got upset, Giovanni was forced to show his lack of equipment - to prove that he couldn't be having intercourse with his wife."

  Nancy nodded "I'd always thought Don Juan was a myth. But I can see how he could please so many women over such a short time. He didn't have to uh - recharge."

  Alice went on "William Shakespeare's witches were supposedly castrati. In Macbeth, where his wife is getting ready to kill the king, she asks to be unsexed. Seems that many believed that witches were castrated men. Possibly related to their status as wizards or seers before the Christians took over and killed the witches. It's possible that in pre-Christian times, some witches or wizards were castrati"

  Nancy leaned forward in her chair "I had no idea that this was so common."

  Alice smiled "I also found some interesting statistics. Which I included, of course."

  "Alice, I'm amazed. You absolutely should do this as a thesis. You already have an A in my class. May I look this over for a few days? I'll return it so you can do your paper."

  "Of course, Nancy. I'm so glad you're supporting me in this effort. It's just too fascinating to pass up"

  Nancy nodded "I agree. Women's studies are big here, but to have an alternate gender study is a special opportunity. I would like to talk to him. Maybe you can get your friend to have him come and talk to me?"

  "Yes, and to me too. So far, I've been covert, but I really need to make sure it's safe for him/her to talk."

  Larry

  Daisy was so excited. "Larry, I talked to Ted and he might be willing to play with you, but you need to do it after his dance class, Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. You should probably try to be a little feminine too."

  Larry was so excited. "I've had my eye on him for over a year now. We had dance class together last year. He's so femme, but he's a guy. I didn't think he was into guys though?"

  Daisy nodded, "He finds guys attractive, as well as girls, but he was so badly beat up as a kid, he really had some issues with guys"

  Larry nodded "Tell me about it, I think they started in on me when I was in 7th grade. Gym was horrible, the guys whipping me with towels. I hated it. The funny thing is that a few years later, those same guys wanted to have sex with me."

  Daisy smiled "For Ted, the beatings started in 1st grade and they happened before school, recess, lunch, gym and after school, every school day for almost a decade."

  "Jesus! No wonder he's not so keen on guys. But you think he might go for me?"

  Daisy nodded "I see other guys and I asked him to see other guys. He said he'd try. I agreed to set him up. I don't think you would scare him as much as some of the more butch guys would."

  Larry giggled "I hope not. I'm just curious how he'll react."

  Daisy smiled "Just take your time and be a little bossy. He seems to respond to that."

  Larry was excited “How about tonight?!”

  That night, Daisy met Ted for dinner. They went up to Ted's room. He was still in his dance-wear, and Daisy couldn't wait to play with Tina again. As soon as they got in the room, she pushed him onto the bed and pulled his pants off. They weren't belted so all she had to do was unzip them. They came off with one quick tug. His shoes came off with the pants. Not wanting to lose the buttons to his shirt, Ted unbuttoned it for her. Daisy couldn't believe how cute Tina was.

  Daisy climbed up on the bed and pinned his arms with her shins. Then she lifted her skirt, there were no panties. "Tina, I want that amazing mouth NOW, with NO TEASING. If you tease, I'll sit hard so you can't breathe. Got it?"

  Tina just nodded "Yes ma'am", and immediately began please Daisy in the ways she loved so much.

  Within seconds Daisy was in heaven. She rode his mouth, and suddenly realized that Tina was caressing her clit with her nose, while she probed with her tongue. It was amazing. Daisy just pressed down and enjoyed it all. In a few seconds, she was having her first peak.

  Somehow, Tina had gotten her hand free and was pressing her thumb into Daisy's ass. Daisy couldn't believe it. She just let the feelings overwhelm her. Finally, she fell over sideways next to Tina, who took that as a queue to move down and drive her wild.

  Finally, after an hour, Daisy couldn't take it anymore "STRAWBERRIES".

  Tina, giggled and moved up to give Daisy a nice warm hug. Daisy was shivering, but she didn't know why, the room was warm, but she couldn't stop convulsing. Was she quivering? It was nice to have Tina giving her a hug.

  After about 20 minutes of cuddling, Daisy got on top of
Tina, so she could hold her down and look her in the eye. She had to see his reaction.

  "I have to go in a few minutes but stay dressed. You'll have a visitor in about 30 minutes. A cute guy who has been dying to meet you. He knows about your girly side, and he thinks it's exciting. You could even put on that skirt in your drawer."

  Tina giggled "How did you know I had a skirt in my drawer? Did you go through my drawers?"

  Daisy laughed "Of course silly, that night I had you take your shower. I suspected, and when I saw the full outfit, I knew that you were a sissy - I'm sorry - that you were hiding your feminine side. One of my friends was in your dance class last year and told me about your dance outfit. I'd love to see you fully dolled up sometime."

  Tina reached up and pulled Daisy into a big warm hug. "You are so wonderful! Thank you!"

  Daisy hugged back then pulled herself back up. "So you don't mind a visit from a cute guy?"

  Tina smiled half-heartedly. "I guess not. I have no idea what to do."

  Daisy smiled "Tell you what, whatever you do for him, I'll do for you. Would that make it more interesting?"

  Tina was hesitant "I don't know if I can..."

  Daisy smiled "Just do what you can. A hand job wouldn't be so terrible, would it?"

  Tina shook her head "It's not that. It's just that I've never let anybody touch me down there. I don't know if I can enjoy it."

  Daisy understood, "It's OK. I'll touch you like you were a girl. Will that be OK?"

  Tina smiled "I hope he's cute, not too butch, and nice."

  Daisy giggled, "You're going to love it"

  Daisy gave him a big deep kiss. "If it's not too late, knock on my door after, we can talk"

  Daisy left the room and closed the door behind her.

  Tina pulled on a pair of yoga pants. They were loose and could be removed if she wanted. With the leotard on over the tights, she knew that her visitor wouldn't be doing anything with her, but she wasn't ready to put Tina on display quite yet.

  As she sat reading, studying a scene she was directing, some new ideas came, and she jotted them down. It was like there were things that Ted hadn't seen that Tina realized would make the scene so much more powerful. Maybe Tina should come out more often when she was doing homework.

  There was a knock on the door.

  Ted got up and opened the door. "Larry? Can I help you?"

  Larry smiled, "Daisy said you'd be expecting me? I love that top on you. Very feminine!"

  Tina smiled, opened the door, and pulled him in. Then she shut the door and gave him a big full hug.

  "I was so afraid it might be one of the other guys, you know, like Mike or Ed. I'm glad it's you."

  Larry smiled. He was tall, slender, and had long wavy hair. His lavender button-down shirt was slightly tapered to fit his waist. Larry worked in the costume shop and hoped to be a costume designer or fashion designer someday. He also sang baritone in the choir. Ted knew him, and they had been friends.

  Larry pulled Tina in for a kiss. It was warm and passionate, but the stubble on Larry’s face jarred Tina for a minute. She surrendered to the kiss. It wasn't as exciting or intimate as when she kissed girls, it was rough and forceful, but she still found herself enjoying it.

  Larry started to put his hand down into Tina's pants. He tried to feel around for his prize, hoping to get Tina more excited, but he found nothing.

  Tina giggled "Looking for something?"

  Larry was stunned "Where - where is it?"

  Tina gave him a seductive smile "Nicely hidden inside my dance belt. Not easily accessible. Let's see what you have!" She reached into Larry's pants. They were loose, and she could feel it trying to break free.

  "Are you wearing tights?"

  Larry smiled "Daisy said it might make it easier for you. From last year."

  Tina smiled "Thank you for that. Let's make some room here." and unzipped his pants.

  She reached under the tights and began to caress his bulge over the underwear. They were the thick spandex type made for men, smooth and tight, but with extra room for the "package". She could feel it grow to about 6 inches. At least he wasn't going to be so big that nothing would be possible. It finally outgrew his shorts, and she gently caressed the shaft.

  Larry's knees buckled. "Why don't we go over to the bed. I'm not going to be able to stand up much longer."

  Tina pulled down his pants to his knees but left the tights on. She knew he wouldn't need to take them off completely for what she had in mind.

  Larry smiled "Oh yes."

  She started to caress Larry's package again, she was very gentle, playing with his balls, then delicately stroking the shaft hiding under his underwear. She could smell cologne and soap. At least he didn't smell horrible.

  Larry started to groan "Oh, yes! This is amazing, you're teasing me and it's so hot!"

  Tina continued to play with her new boy toy. She could see a little droplet, so she leaned forward to kiss it, to see what it tasted like. Not terrible, a bit like a salty sunny-side up egg. Maybe she could do more, but for now, she wanted to play a bit.

  She wrapped her fingers around his shaft. Her soft smooth fingers were delicate. She squeezed gently, and he groaned. "You seem to like that."

  Larry just groaned, "Oh yeah, like that baby!"

  She put her other hand under his balls, and pressed just behind them, she knew that Ted liked that, maybe Larry would too.

  Larry let out a roar, a deep groan, then held his breath and pressed. In just a few seconds, the moment had been reached, and Larry grunted. Tina started to pinch it down, so it would go back to where it came from and she wouldn't have to deal with so much mess, but that just seemed to excite Larry that much more. In about 15 seconds, it was over. Larry was done.

  Tina was disappointed, she was having fun getting him all hot and bothered, but he came too quick to play. "Are you OK? Was that too soon?"

  Larry saw her face and leotard, and smiled "No honey, that was perfect."

  He leaned forward and gave Tina a gentle kiss "Maybe next time you can suck it."

  Tina liked the fun of bringing him pleasure, and it was really easy, but could she do that?

  "Did you want me to do that now?"

  Larry smiled and said "No, that was enough for tonight, maybe tomorrow?"

  Tina nodded "Maybe tomorrow." Not much enthusiasm but interested.

  Larry stood up, pulled up his tights and his pants. "Is it OK if I don't wear the tights tomorrow?"

  Tina nodded "OK. We can try that. Things were a bit awkward. That might be easier."

  Larry gave her another kiss, "Are you sure there isn't anything I can do for you?"

  Tina shook her head; she was miles away. Just calm and relaxed "No, I'm fine. Anything more I can do for you?"

  Larry gave a sheepish grin "I only wish you could. Unfortunately, I'm not really up for it now."

  Tina giggled "Sorry!"

  Mohamed

  Two floors below, in Mohamed's room, Daisy was having the opposite problem. He was at least 9 inches long and they had been at it for almost an hour. Daisy was loving it, loving the way he filled her up, and he seemed OK with her stimulating herself as he pounded away. She'd already had several orgasms, and yet her Arab stallion was still ready for more.

  She finally came loudly and clenched Muhammad's throbbing shaft, pushing him over the edge.

  It took him a minute to recover, but within a few minutes, he was ready to talk. He held her close.

  He sighed "You are amazing, I can't believe you, you seemed to be enjoying it so much."

  She smiled "Yeah, it was wonderful. How do you last so long?"

  He smiled "Something we are taught before our first time. A combination of breath control and pacing."

  "I thought your country had strict rules about that"

  Mohamed laughed "Yes, we do, but we go to Dubai for that. It's like the Middle-east equivalent to Las Vegas. We marry them for a few hours, giving them a bride price, then di
vorce them when we're done."

  Daisy was shocked "You can just divorce a woman that easily?"

  Mohamed nodded "Yes, we are allowed four wives. The first wife's family gives a dowry, it used to be camels or cows or goats. Now days, they often set the man up in business. If he divorces her, he must give back not only all the livestock, but all the increase as well. In the case of the business, his wife would own the business, so he would have to give that back."

  Daisy propped her head up so she could see him "Four wives, isn't that complicated?"

  Mohamed shook his head "No, the first wife gets to choose the second wife and both get to choose the third wife. The first wife has all the authority, but generally they get along with each other. The husband actually has very little to say in the matter."

  Daisy had to ask "So what about the fourth wife"

  Mohamed smiled "She's usually a temporary wife. Usually the husband chooses her, he pays her family a bride price, usually for a certain period, and then at the end of the time, he divorces her."

  Daisy giggled "Sounds a bit like prostitution"

  Mohamed could barely keep a straight face "Oh NO! Prostitution is ILLEGAL in Saudi Arabia!"

  Daisy was puzzled now "So what's the difference?"

  Mohamed smiled "Only the girl's father has the authority to offer his daughter this way, if he is dead then her mother or brother. They must be introduced to each other in a public place, and the time and place of the wedding must be arranged, usually her family's masque. If they are married, they can do what they like. Sometimes the other wives join in, but usually not."

  Daisy smiled "So would I be your fourth wife then?"

  Mohamed got serious "No, I would want you to be my first wife!"

  Daisy smiled "But I don't have a dowry, I couldn't set you up in business!"

  Mohamed laughed "That's not a problem, King Abdullah is my cousin. I already have a position when I get finished with college. I'm very serious, I want to marry you!"

  Daisy laughed "I hope you're joking. I'm not ready to get married yet, I want to finish school first."
