THAT MORNING

I read the first three volumes of a manga, O Maidens in your Savage Season (Mari Okada, text; Nao Emoto, art). Five teens in a school literature club wrestle with sex.

The shortest student still looks like a kid but is attracted to an old friend; will showing her feelings wreck the friendship? In contrast, the tallest (and busty for her age) has been harassed for years by older men; it's left her wary, lonely, and numb to her own sexual feelings. Too busy evading predators.

THAT AFTERNOON

My sister Althea & brother-in-law Jonathan are visiting. Walk around Bernal Hill with them. On the wooded side, on the Emerald Steps, a woman says a new couple of owls are nesting.

I beta-read three alternate openings for Althea's fantasy novel. Should it be:

1. The Welves (wolf-people on a subpolar continent) find old records implying their land's headed for an ice age...
2. Fox (heiress to a throne) pressured toward a loveless state marriage...
3. Hummingbird (a half-dragon girl) entering puberty--and with her genes, she'll be stuck in teen angst for decades...

THAT EVENING

Off to Okazu-ya on Taraval Avenue. The street's still torn up for trolley-line construction--how many years now? We park blocks away and walk through the barriers to a Japanese feast... Wow, I crave deepwater fish--mackerel especially.

THAT NIGHT...

I'm trapped in a manga. I meet a coordinated, disciplined team of little girls, none over ten years old. Ninjas? Cat burglars? Literal ones I mean--cat ears, tails.

All I'm sure of is, they're too young to be placed in such risk. But they're precociously competent, and their boss doesn't care. I don't trust him--just another manga cliché Mastermind. But I like them.

Seems to be mutual--they mob me, climb on me, rub against me purring like cats. I get turned on. One girl clings to me. Stroke and scratch her like a cat, though I'm unsure what she'll like. Soon find out: any and all touch. Soon I'm massaging her thighs, then her pussy as she rocks and comes.

Others see that and pile on me, beg to be petted and kissed and licked too. They're too young for penetration, I'm sure it'd hurt them, so I manage to hold back from that. But... non-pen sex play feels so good that I just can't pull away, just can't stop...

And wake embarrassed--but insanely turned on.

NOTES IN THE MORNING

• Group of little girls: The book club in O Maidens in your Savage Season? But they were teens old enough to experiment with sex; these catburglars, well, kitburglars, were way too young, elementary school kids. The dream's shoving a taboo in my face. Why?
• Older male mastermind I don't trust: in Maidens, the dean persecutes the book club, demanding an adult sponsor when he knows teachers won't want to; the club's notorious for geeks & weirdos (they read!)
• Public actions, Japan, orgy: the exercise of climbing Bernal Hill, followed by a sushi orgy!
• Why catgirls? Well... cats love fish. And sex. They personify my appetites--instinctively know what they want.
• Guilt, but can't stop: not sex, food! I'm usually vegetarian, so I felt guilty about the sushi. But my body craved strong, oily deepwater fish--mackerel & salmon.
• ACTION: Don't grope gangs of little ninjas. But perhaps in exchange for this commendable restraint, I could unbend my harsh leftist conscience enough to get more...
  1. Fish oil--my body's starved for it. I have a rare genetic syndrome making me inflammation-prone, and my current diet (flax seed and all) is clearly not enough.
  2. Exercise. My work habits keep me busy yet sedentary--sketch dreams, play piano, write on computer. But my body finds exercise as sexy as, well, sex.

• In bed with a guy with erection problems? Maybe your dream finds his thinking less than firm.
• In bed with a child? Maybe you leapt prematurely into something, and now you worry you'll hurt someone...
• In bed with a politician? Maybe you like that party's program (but if it's awful sex, rethink your support!)
