“What gift?” Mia asked; seemingly mesmerized.
“The gift of you,” Petra told her with a warm smile.
“Precisely,” Claudia confirmed. “And this is particularly true for women. You see, women are considered the fairer and gentler gender. We’re nurturers by nature and we tend to act much more based upon our emotions than upon our intellect. And as we are the ones whose body is entered; or violated if you will during sexual intercourse, sex in general, is a much more personal and intimate matter for us. And as we are generally smaller than, and not nearly as physically strong as a man, we are also far more vulnerable to physical abuse and emotional trauma. So, it is crucial that we trust the man to whom we are giving ourselves to.”
Claudia glanced at Petra and for the first time that evening, Petra truly agreed with Claudia.
“Your auntie is right Mia,” Petra said. “You are openly and freely sharing your body with him. So, you must trust him to appreciate it, respect it and do his best to fulfill you. Not to mention, if you deeply love him, you’re freely sharing your mind, heart and soul with him as well. And for a woman, these things are extremely private and priceless. Not to mention, very precious and delicate. You must feel comfortable and have complete trust in him. Do you understand?”
“Yes,” Mia and Kurt replied almost simultaneously.
“Very good,” Claudia said with a smile.
“But what if I’m having sex with a woman,” Mia asked. “Is it the same?”
“Absolutely,” Claudia replied. “Even more so actually. Remember how your mother just explained how a man should appreciate, respect and fulfill you? ”
“Yes,” Mia replied.
“Well, even though you are a woman; you’re now having sex with a woman. And so, it’s your responsibility to appreciate, respect and fulfill her.” Claudia explained. “Because not only are you sharing the precious gift of yourself with her, she’s sharing the precious gift of herself with you. That’s why the love made, and the sex shared between two women is so beautiful and breathtaking.”
“But also, never forget Mia,” Petra jumped in. “That when you’re having intercourse with a man, he’s giving you the gift of himself. Men have feeling too and that he is sharing himself with you every bit as much as you are with him. So, whether you’re with a man or a woman, you should always appreciate them, respect them and do your best to fulfill them.”
“Very true,” Claudia said as she smiled at her sister. “Excellent point. But, lets now discuss an element of sex that comes even before trust. It’s the element where it all truly begins. Anybody have any idea what I’m referring too?”
“Attraction,” Mia chirped.
“Attraction,” Claudia stated. “Exactly! Being physically attracted to someone is the very first step on the wondrous path of sex. And it can happen anywhere and at any time without you even knowing the person or them knowing you. You might just see them passing on the street or be sitting next to them on a bus or an airplane. Or just see them on TV or in the movies.”
