PART 1
HORNY
_______
“They are not going
to chop off your balls…” I said to Horny, “it’s just a minor incision…”
“No. No. I don’t want
to do it…” Horny pleaded, in an apprehensive voice.
“It’s not
“castration” – it’s a simple vasectomy…” I said to him.
“I am enjoying a good
sex life…” he said, “I don’t want anyone meddling over there…”
“Your sex life won’t
be affected – in fact – your sex life will improve…” I said, trying to assure
him.
“Improve…? How…?” he
asked, still unconvinced.
“You will ejaculate
normally – only – your semen won’t have sperm – so – there will be no fear of
pregnancy – so – you can enjoy unrestrained sex…” I said, trying to convince
him.
But – Horny wouldn’t
budge.
“I don’t want to do
this vasectomy operation…” he said, with a tone of finality.
“Okay…” I said, “I’ll
have to tell the CO…”
_______
It all started with
that letter on “Family Planning” from Headquarters.
The letter said that
all married personnel with two or more children were to be “motivated” to get
sterilized.
The Commanding
Officer (CO) was required to forward a “completion report” within 15 days.
On our ship – there
were quite a few potential “candidates” – most had 2 children – a few had 3
children – and “Horny” topped the list with 4 children.
_______
“You’ve got four
children…!!!” the CO bellowed at Horny.
“Sir – it’s not my
fault…” Horny said to the CO.
“What do you
mean “it’s not your fault”…? You made your wife pregnant – didn’t you…? Or
– is someone else screwing your wife…?” the CO shouted at Horny.
“No, Sir – we had two
daughters – we wanted a son – so – we took a 3rd chance – and –
twins were born – what can I do, Sir – I expected a son – but – I got twins…”
Horny said to the CO.
“Twins…? Both
daughters…?” the CO asked Horny – looking curious.
“One Son and One
Daughter…” Horny said.
“So now you have
three daughters and one son…?” the CO asked Horny.
“Yes, Sir…” Horny
said.
“That’s good. Your
desire to have a son is fulfilled. Now – just get that “family planning
operation” done pronto – okay…?” the CO said to Horny.
‘Sir – I don’t want
to…” Horny was speaking – when the CO rudely interrupted him.
“What do you
mean “You don’t want to”…? You will bloody well have to do it – that’s an
order – do you understand…?” the CO thundered angrily at Horny, “Now – get out
my sight – you will get the “family planning operation” done immediately – do
you understand…? If you don’t obey – you’ll be up shit creek – I’ll screw the
hell out of you…”
The CO gave Horny a
threatening glare as Horny saluted the CO and left the CO’s cabin.
_______
After Horny had left
– the CO looked at me.
“Tell me – “Doc” –
what about the others…?” the CO asked me.
“Sir – I have made a
list of all officers and sailors with 2 or more children – some have already
undergone vasectomy – like you, Sir…” I said to the CO.
“I know that…” the CO
shouted, “what about the others…?”
“Sir – all those who
are unsterilized – they are being “motivated” – most of them have agreed…” I
said to the CO.
“And when are you
going to get the job done…? I have to submit a “completion report” to
Headquarters – they are taking it very seriously…” the CO said to me.
“Sir – there is a
special sterilization camp in the Dockyard Dispensary tomorrow – I have already
spoken to the Dockyard Medical Officer – he is my batchmate…” I said to the CO.
“That’s good…” the CO
said, “You will personally march all those “eligible” buggers to the
Sterilization Camp and get them “chop-chopped” – do you understand…?” the CO
said to me.
“Aye Aye, Sir…” I
said to the CO, “they are eligible for 3 days SIQ after vasectomy, Sir…”
“Give them 5 days SIQ
– I don’t care …” the CO said, “but I want the job done 100% – all buggers with
two or more children are to be sterilized by tomorrow evening – I want to be
the first CO to send a 100% completion report to Headquarters…”
________
Dear Reader – if you
are aware of the situation in the 1970’s – when this story happened – you may
understand why the CO was so anxious about rendering the “completion report” on
implementation of family planning norms.
The family planning
drive was enforced with full “enthusiasm”.
At first – “small
family norms” were encouraged – and – there were slogans like “Small Family
Happy Family and “Hum Do – Humare Do” [We Two (Parents) and Our Two (Children)]
etc.
Initially – birth
control measures like condoms, contraceptive pills, IUDs (copper-T) etc. were
propagated – to have a gap between children – and – sterilization (popularly
known as “nasbandi”) was encouraged for those with two or more children – and –
various incentives like special increments in pay, family planning allowances,
subsidies etc. were offered to those who got themselves sterilized.
Later – though on paper
– family planning measures were voluntary and there was no forced sterilization
– disincentives were introduced to those who refused to adopt “small family
norms” – also – “coercive tactics” were sometimes used – and “sterilization
targets” were given to organizations.
An example of these
“family planning tactics” was the letter which had landed on the CO’s table
directing that all married personnel with two or more children were to be
“motivated” to get sterilized and a “completion report” was required to be
submitted.
It may not be true –
but – there were rumors that some organizations had given individual targets to
officers – each officer was required to “sponsor” at least two individuals for
sterilization otherwise pay was withheld.
In short – there was
immense pressure to get all married persons with two or more children adopt
permanent family planning measures (sterilization)
________
PART 2
“NASBANDI”
________
The next evening –
after the “sterilization camp” – I reported to the CO.
“Sir – the sterilization
drive has been completed successfully – all vasectomy operations were done
today…” I said to him.
“Excellent – Well
Done…” the CO said to me, “I want you to immediately send a “completion report”
that 100% of personnel with two or more children have been sterilized – also –
attach a list of those who have been sterilized today at the camp…”
I looked at the CO –
hesitating to give him the “bad news”.
“Sir…?” I mumbled –
with a bit of trepidation.
“What is it…?” the CO
asked me.
“Sir – Horny…” I hesitated.
“What about Horny…?”
the CO asked me – raising his eyebrow.
“Sir – he refused to
get the vasectomy done…” I said to the CO.
On hearing this – the
CO got furious and blew up into an angry rage.
“That bugger is going
to screw my ACR…” the CO shouted at me.
“Sir – if he doesn’t
want to get sterilized – let him be – Sir – I haven’t understood how it is
going to affect your ACR…” I said to the CO.
“Are you dumb or
something…? Next year is my promotion board – this is my last ACR before the
promotion board – a critical ACR – we are a large batch of Captains and there
are very few vacancies of Rear Admiral – extremely stiff competition – just one
negative point can ruin my chances of promotion – it will look bad to the
“higher ups” if I am the only CO has not been able to implement “Family
Planning Directives”. It will reflect poorly on my leadership and command
ability. They will think that I lack motivational skills. Do you understand…?”
the CO said to me.
“Yes, Sir…” I said to
the CO.
“I don’t want my career
ruined just because of one obstinate bugger…” the CO said, “I want Horny to be
sterilized tomorrow – I don’t care how you do it – in fact – why don’t you do
his vasectomy in the sick bay right now…?”
“Me, Sir…?” I said,
surprised.
“Why not…? It’s a simple
operation – isn’t it…?” the CO said to me.
“Yes, Sir – but I
don’t know if I am authorized…” I was speaking – when the CO interrupted me.
“Then – get the
bloody authority – I see in the news that everyone is doing “nasbandi”
operations – even nurses are doing it – you are a bloody doctor – you just get
hold of that bugger Horny, take him to the sick-bay and do his “nasbandi”
chop-chop – you will get it done pronto – that’s my bloody order – do you
understand…? And – the “completion report” must go to Headquarters tomorrow…”
the CO said firmly.
“Aye Aye, Sir…” I
said to the CO.
“You will do Horny’s “nasbandi”
today – do you understand…? If you can’t do it – learn from someone – otherwise
– I will send you back to medical college for a bloody “rescrub” …” the CO said
to me in a threatening voice.
“Yes, Sir – it will
be done today…” I said, trying to assuage his anger.
“Good. I’ll tell the
XO to put some sense into Horny’s head – and – Horny is not to proceed ashore
till he is sterilized…” the CO said to me.
“Yes, Sir…” I said to
the CO.
I saluted the CO –
and I walked out of his cabin.
_______
PART 3
“BIRTH CONTROL”
_______
The XO called Horny
to his cabin and told him that he could not leave the ship and proceed ashore
till his “nasbandi” (vasectomy) was done.
Then – all officers
were called to the Wardroom to “motivate” Horny to “volunteer” for
sterilization.
“Listen, Horny – it’s
a simple procedure – I had my vasectomy done last year – and I am absolutely
fit and fine…” the XO tried to convince Horny.
“No, Sir – I don’t
want them tampering with my balls and cutting them up – I’m scared…” Horny
said.
“No one is going to
cut your balls…” I assured Horny, “just two small incisions – the small tubes
in your scrotum that carry sperm are cut and blocked – so that your sperm can’t
leave your body and cause pregnancy…”
Horny looked alarmed
on hearing this – and he spoke excitedly.
“What…? My sperm
can’t leave my balls…? Tell me – if all the sperm remains in there – won’t
my balls get overfull, swollen and bloated…? Bloody Hell…!!! It’s scary – I
don’t want those bloody quacks buggering up my sex system which is functioning
perfectly…” Horny said – his voice full of anxiety.
“Nothing of that sort
happens…” I said to Horny, “the sperm will be absorbed by the body – you will
ejaculate as you do now – nothing will change – you will be able to have sex as
you do now – in fact – you can start having sex within a week of
sterilization…”
“One week…? Are you
saying that I can start having sex within one week of the operation…?” Horny
said, looking sceptical.
“Yes…” the XO said,
“You can have carefree unrestrained sex. In fact – my sex life improved after
vasectomy…”
Everyone tried to
“motivate” Horny.
“There are a lot of
financial incentives for sterilization – you will get special increments of
pay, family planning allowances etc if you get yourself sterilized…” the
money-minded Supply Officer said.
“I am not interested
in money…” Horny said.
“I read somewhere
that they are giving a transistor and a blanket to all those getting
sterilized…” some smart-aleck piped up.
“I have already got a
transistor radio and plenty of blankets at home…” Horny said.
“They are making a
list of people who don’t adopt “small family norms” – you are supposed to have
only two children – and already you have four children – you have to adopt some
“birth control measures” – otherwise you may get your wife pregnant again…” the
XO said.
“I am adopting a
birth control method…” Horny said – emphatically.
“What birth control
technique are you adopting…? What precautions are you taking to ensure that
your wife doesn’t get pregnant again…?” I asked him.
“I don’t want to tell
you – it is my private matter…” Horny said.
“Whatever you are
doing – it is not reliable – vasectomy is the only permanent solution…” I said
to Horny.
We tried our best to
convince Horny to have a vasectomy – but – Horny wouldn’t budge.
Horny bluntly told us
that he wasn’t going to have the vasectomy done.
“Listen, Horny…” the
XO said threateningly to Horny, “you have four children when the upper limit is
two – if you don’t get yourself sterilized – your promotion may be stopped –
they may even throw you out of the Navy…”
“I don’t care if they
don’t promote me – and – if they throw me out – I’ll get another job – but – I
am not going to let anyone touch my balls…” Horny said – in a determined voice.
After saying this –
Horny walked out of the Wardroom and went down to his cabin.
_______
The XO looked at us –
he seemed worried.
“This is getting serious…”
he said, “the “Old Man” has given me clear-cut orders that Horny’s “nasbandi”
is to be completed today…”
“Sir – but he is
unwilling…” I said to the XO.
The Gunnery Officer
gave a wicked smile.
“Let’s get him drunk
– or better still – I’ll spike his drink and “Mickey Finn” him – and when he
unconscious – “Doc” can take him down to the sick-bay and do the “chop chop” –
or – “Doc” can do his vasectomy right here in the Wardroom…” the Gunnery Officer
suggested.
“No. No. We can’t do
that…” I said, “he has to volunteer – he has to give his willingness for
sterilization…”
“Well – either he
volunteers – or – he will be forced to volunteer…” the XO said, “I read in the
newspapers that they are doing “forced sterilization” of people like Horny who
have more than two children…”
“Sir – I am not going
to do these unethical things…” I said firmly – and – I walked out of the
Wardroom.
________
PART 4
“PSYCHO”
________
I went down to
Horny’s cabin – he was lying down on his bunk – looking fretful.
“I don’t want to talk
to anyone…” Horny said angrily, “you buggers leave me alone…”
“Please Horny – I am
your friend – I am not going to ask to do anything against your will – it is
your choice…” I said – trying to soothe him.
“I am going to
request for an immediate transfer from this ship…” he said, looking distressed.
I observed that Horny
looked quite distraught and I didn’t want him resorting to desperate measures –
so – I decided to drive some sense into his head.
“They will hound you
everywhere – this “family planning” drive is becoming a serious affair – you
have four children already – you have to adopt birth control methods…” I said
to him.
“I am adopting a
birth control method…” he said.
“What birth control
method do you practice…?” I asked him, “Do you use Condoms…?”
“No – I “pull out” at the right time…” he said.
“You “pull out”
before ejaculation – well – the “withdrawal method” is most unreliable – it
doesn’t always work…” I said to him.
“I will make it
work…” Horny said to me, “now – I am feeling tired – you please go away and
leave me alone…”
“Okay…” I said – and
– I left his cabin.
_________
I decided to go
ashore – take a walk on the jetty in the refreshing sea breeze to perk myself
up.
There – I met my
batchmate – he was the Medical Officer on a sister ship of my squadron.
I hadn’t seen him for
a few days – so – I asked him if he had gone on leave.
“I was sent to run a
bloody sterilization camp – it’s like a bloody factory conveyer belt – the way
they are getting buggers sterilized - I have become such an expert that I can
do a vasectomy with my eyes closed…” my batchmate said.
I told my batchmate
about Horny.
“I have a feeling
that Horny will make his wife pregnant again…” I said to my batchmate.
“Doesn’t he use birth
control measures…?” my batchmate asked me.
“You will be
surprised to hear this – Horny told me that he uses “coitus interruptus” as a
birth control technique – he doesn’t like to use condoms as he feels that they
reduce pleasurable sensation…” I said to my batchmate.
My batchmate smiled
at me.
“No wonder he’s got
four children…” my batchmate remarked, “and if he continues the same way –
he’ll have many more – he better get himself sterilized…”
“I told him – but he
is adamant – he says that he will “pull out” at the right time – he has gone
crazy – he thinks “coitus interruptus” is the best birth control technique…” I
said to my batchmate.
My batchmate laughed
and started speaking:
“You will be
surprised if I tell you the crazy ideas people have about birth control methods
– there was this bloody pervert – the bugger thought that…”
I saw Horny walking
towards us – so I held up my finger to my lips and indicated to my batchmate to
stop speaking.
I had guessed what my
batchmate was going to say – and – I didn’t want Horny to get wrong ideas about
birth control into his head and try to experiment those perverted methods.
As it is – the
“coitus interruptus” he was doing was bad enough.
Horny smiled at my
batchmate.
Then – looked at me
and spoke.
“I am going home…” he
said.
“You are not supposed
to go ashore…” I said to Horny.
“I don’t care – I am
feeling stressed – I need a bloody screw…” Horny said – and – he walked away.
“The guy is going
bonkers…” my batchmate said to me.
“Yes…” I said, “he is
becoming “psycho” – hope the CO doesn’t initiate AFMSF-10 on him and send him
to the psychiatric ward…”
“Those “shrinks” may
even get him sterilized over there…” my batchmate laughed.
We talked for some
time.
I told him that my CO
wanted me to do Horny’s vasectomy.
My batchmate – who
was now a sterilization expert – told me that vasectomy was a simple procedure
and offered to do Horny’s vasectomy.
“It’s very simple –
they have issued an illustrated manual too – just look at diagrams and follow
the instructions – in case you want my help – I’ll come over and do the
vasectomy in your sick-bay…” he said to me.
I thanked him – and we
walked back to our respective ships – tied alongside each other – on the jetty.
_______
PART 5
VASECTOMY
_______
Next morning – we –
XO and Me – we were summoned to the Captain’s cabin.
Slimy was standing
there with our Captain (CO)
The CO looked at us
sardonically and spoke in a derisive tone of voice.
“Slimy has done what
you buggers couldn’t do – he has convinced Horny to get his “nasbandi” done…”
the CO said to us.
“What…?” I said,
surprised – and then – I looked at Slimy and asked him, “How did you manage to
convince Horny…?”
“My wife talked to
Horny’s wife and my wife convinced Horny’s wife to deny sex to Horny till he
gets himself sterilized…” Slimy said, “and – it worked – Horny is ready to get
himself sterilized…”
“I can’t believe
it…!” I said, incredulous.
“I am Horny’s
course-mate – and I know how crazy he is for sex – now – Horny wasn’t nicknamed
“Horny” just like that – he had everyone in awe by his tremendous libido and sex
drive – that’s why we nicknamed him “Horny” during our cadet days…” Slimy said
to me.
“Yes – course-mates
know everything…” I said to Slimy.
Slimy gave me a canny
smile and spoke.
“And – to make doubly
sure that Horny remains “motivated” – we have sent Horny’s wife to her mother’s
place – and – she has told him that she will come back only after he gets
himself sterilized…” Slimy said, with an air of triumph.
“That’s good
thinking…” the CO said to Slimy.
“Yes…” I said to
Slimy, “you achieved what we couldn’t do…”
Slimy gave me a smug
smile and spoke.
“Actually – Horny’s
wife told my wife that she is always worried that she may get pregnant since
Horny doesn’t use any precautions…” Slimy said.
“Yes – Yes – I know
that – Horny told me everything – he “pulls out” at the last moment – it’s a
very unreliable birth control method…” I said to Slimy.
The XO looked at
Slimy.
“Tell me – how
exactly did your wife manage to convince Horny’s wife to tell Horny to get
sterilized…” the XO asked Slimy.
Slimy gave the XO a perspicacious
look and spoke.
“Well – my wife told
Horny’s wife that how her sex life had become terrific after I had got myself
sterilized…” Slimy said, unashamedly.
“That’s good
thinking…” the CO said to Slimy, “well done – to you and to your wife…”
As usual – Slimy had
succeeded in “one-upmanship” – no wonder he was the CO’s “blue-eyed boy”.
Then – the CO looked
at me and spoke in a stern voice.
“Now listen “Doc” – I
don’t want any “fuck ups” – I want the job done immediately – you take Horny to
the sick-bay right now – and – “chop chop” – before you can say “Jack
Robinson”…!!!” the CO said to me.
“Aye Aye, Sir…” I
said to the CO – I saluted – and – I exited from his cabin.
_______
I found Horny sitting
in the wardroom – reading the newspaper.
“Let’s go…” I said to
Horny.
“Where…?” Horny asked
me.
“To the sick-bay…” I
said to him, “to do your vasectomy…”
“Who is going to do
it…?” he asked, with an apprehensive look.
“I am going to do it
– don’t worry – it is an easy procedure and will be over in half an hour…” I
said to Horny.
“You…? You are going
to do it…?” Horny looked at me with trepidation, “How may operations have you
done…?”
“Well – I haven’t
done a vasectomy so far – but it is simple – I know the procedure…” I said to
Horny.
“Am I a bloody
“Guinea Pig”…? You want to experiment on me…? If you botch it up – I’ll become
impotent for life…” Horny shouted at me.
“Okay – Okay – I will
call my batchmate from the neighbouring ship – he a sterilization expert – he
has done hundreds of vasectomy procedures…” I said – to assuage Horny’s
anxiety.
Then – I took Horny
to the sick-bay.
I sent the Sick Berth
Attendant (Medical Assistant) to the neighbouring ship to call my batchmate.
My batchmate arrived
within a few minutes.
I watched as my
batchmate deftly perform the vasectomy on Horny.
The procedure was
over in less than 30 minutes – and we told Horny to take rest for some time in
the sick-bay.
I thanked my
batchmate – who left for his ship – soon after Horny’s vasectomy was done.
I told the Medical
Assistant to prepare a 3-Day SIQ (Sick-in-Quarter) Slip and Sterilization
Certificate for Horny – and – I went up to the Captain’s Cabin to give him the
good news.
________
PART 6
“WIN WIN”
________
“Sir – Horny’s vasectomy
has been done…” I said to the Captain (CO)
“Excellent – so now –
we can say that 100% of all those eligible have been sterilized…” he asked me.
“Yes, Sir…” I said to
the CO
“Very Good – make the
“completion report” and deliver it by hand to the Command Medical Officer (CMO)
today…” the CO said to me.
“Aye Aye, Sir…” I
said.
“Send copies to the
Fleet Commander, NHQ etc…” he said.
“Yes, Sir…” I said.
“Was this the first “nasbandi”
operation done on board a ship…?” the CO asked me.
“I don’t know, Sir – but
it is possible – since most vasectomies are being done in sterilization camps
in hospitals and dispensaries ashore…” I said to the CO.
“You just write it
down in the report – that this was the first time a sterilization operation has
been done in a sick-bay on board a ship…” the CO said, “this will enhance the
good name of our ship…”
Yes, Sir…” I said.
“I will tell the C-in-C
that we will do sterilization operations at sea while sailing too – floating “nasbandi”
camps…” the CO said.
I smiled to myself – our
CO was really going all out to earn “Brownie Points” which would contribute to his
ACR
I saw the CO smiling
at me with a rather smug expression.
“I am going to
recommend you for a commendation too…” the CO said to me.
Me…? Commendation…?”
I said – taken aback.
“You are the first
Navy Doctor to perform a “nasbandi” in a sick-bay of a ship – you deserve a
commendation…” the CO said to me.
“Sir – I really don’t
know if they have done vasectomy procedure in any ship’s sick-bay – and – actually
– even here – my batchmate did the vasectomy procedure while I watched…” I said,
truthfully.
“That doesn’t matter –
you are the Ship’s Medical Officer in charge of the Sick-Bay where the “nasbandi”
was done – and – your batchmate – that bugger is running a bloody “nasbandi” camp
– isn’t it…? Let them recommend him…” the CO said.
“Yes, Sir…” I said to
the CO.
Now – get cracking –
I want the “nasbandi” completion report delivered today by hand to the CMO by
you personally…” the CO said to me.
“Aye Aye, Sir…” I
said to the CO.
I saluted – came out
of his cabin – and went to the sick-bay.
Horny seemed okay.
I gave him his copy
of the Sterilization Certificate and the 3 Days SIQ slip.
“You take rest for 3
days – I’ll send a copy of the sterilization certificate to the Supply Officer
so that he can initiate the process for your family planning special increments,
allowances, incentives etc…” I said to Horny.
Horny thanked me and
left the sick-bay.
I told the Sick-Bay “Writer”
to make the completion report letter and add the points mentioned by the CO.
“Sir – should we ask
for transistors and blankets for the sterilized personnel…?” the Sick-Bay “Writer”
asked me, “I heard in the radio news that they are giving…”
“Okay – Okay – put it
in the letter…” I said, “do it quickly – I have to deliver the letter by hand personally
to the CMO today…”
______
PS: One month later –
the transistors arrived – one each for every “victim” who had undergone sterilization.
However – we didn’t receive any blankets.
______
It was a “Win-Win”
situation for everyone – for the CO – for Me as the Ship’s Medical Officer – for
our Ship – for the “Family Planning Movement” etc. – but – most importantly – it
was a “Win-Win” for Horny and his Wife.
Horny told us that
his libido and sex drive had improved after the vasectomy.
But – it was Horny’s
wife who seemed to be most happy.
Slimy told me that Horny’s
wife confided to Slimy’s wife (her best friend) that her sex life had improved tremendously
after Horny’s vasectomy and she was having terrific orgasms.
The radiant glow on
her face was a testimony to her happy and fulfilling sex life.
She confided that she
was enjoying carefree sex because there was no fear of pregnancy.
“Since there is no
fear of pregnancy – I can really enjoy carefree sex…” Horny’s wife had said to
her best friend Slimy’s wife.
Earlier – the
constant fear of getting pregnant while having sex was spoiling her enjoyment
of lovemaking and Horny’s sudden “Pulling Out” (coitus interruptus) was
preventing her from having unrestrained orgasms.
A “Win Win” Situation
for all.
As they say – All’s
Well that Ends Well
________
But – Dear Reader – does
the story end here…?
Not quite.
Here is what happened
10 years later.

10 YEARS LATER
________
PART 7
HORNY’S GIRLFRIEND
________
Dear Reader – as I
told you earlier – vasectomy had boosted Horny’s “libido” – and – thanks to
this heightened sex drive – Horny started having sexual conquests.
Most of his sexual
peccadilloes were casual affairs – or – “one-night stands”.
But – his latest
affair seemed to be a serious one – Horny had moved in with the woman and was
living with her for nearly a month.
Horny’s wife panicked
– and – she asked me to intervene.
Instead of wasting my
time trying to drive sense into Horny’s head – which many people had already tried
to do – but in vain – I decided to meet the woman (Horny’s “live in” girlfriend)
– and – appeal to her conscience and better sense – to let go of Horny – so that
he could return to his wife and family.
______
I discreetly visited Horny’s
“live in” girlfriend’s flat when Horny had gone out.
I introduced myself
and I spoke to Horny’s girlfriend.
“He is a married man
– he has four children…” I said to her.
“I know – I have seen
his wife and children – he has such beautiful children…” she said.
“I don’t think he
will divorce his wife…” I said to her.
“I am not asking him
to divorce his wife…” she said to me.
“Then – what do you
want…?” I asked her.
“I want a child from
him – he is so handsome – I am good looking and healthy too – we will have a
lovely baby together…” she said to me.
“You are unmarried – aren’t
you…? But you still want a baby…?” I said to her.
“It doesn’t matter –
in my country it’s okay to be an unmarried single mother – no one asks for the
name of the father…” she said.
“Have you told him
all this…?” I asked her.
“Of course, not – I
don’t want complications later – I will leave him and go back to my country
when I am pregnant – and I will break all contact with him – he won’t even know
about the baby…” she said.
“Are you sure he will
make you pregnant…?” I asked her.
“Of course, I’ll get
pregnant – we are having so much unrestrained sex – I am absolutely in my peak
– and – he is such a virile man…” she said, with an air of confidence.
“Virile…?” I asked,
trying to suppress my surprise.
“Oh yes – he is a
terrific lover – we have amazing sex…” she said, “and he has produced four
healthy children – hasn’t he…?”

I wondered whether I
should tell her – but – I decided that it was best to keep silent.

The woman looked at
me – and she spoke.
“Tell his wife that I
don’t intend stealing her husband – I want a child from him, that’s all – I
will leave him the moment I get pregnant – and go away forever – and he can go
back to his wife…” she said with a smile.

Then – she got up
from her chair – she walked to the door – opened it – and she indicated that I should
leave.
