CHAPTER 6

       For the next few hours John explored his city and discovered it anew as it existed in this future age. It goes without saying that he made many startling discoveries. As he approached the downtown area he noticed that the skyline was no longer the same. His city had not been extremely large in his time, but it had contained a few fairly tall buildings. These were no longer in existence nor did he recognize any of the other structures. He thought it strange that at least some did not remain but, he was unable to draw any conclusions from this fact.

       Shortly before reaching the downtown area, he came to an enclosed shopping mall and decided to go in. When he had seen the displays in the shop and furniture store windows he assumed that the trophies and other items were probably used primarily in homes. It did not take him long to discover that he was mistaken. The first thing he saw upon entering the mall was a large indoor fountain. Standing in a circle, on a raised platform in the center, were the stuffed bodies of a group of naked men facing outward. All had full erections from which heavy streams of water spurted to splash into the pool below.

       It was here that John discovered, beyond any doubt, that the bodies of members of the opposite sex did indeed sexually arouse women in this society. He was gaping at the unbelievable fountain when he heard a moaning behind him. He turned and saw a young woman, sitting on a bench, staring intently at the same thing. She had one hand under her skirt and was clearly masturbating. A moment later, she uttered a cry and hunched forward. Even after all he had witnessed, he was startled to see such behavior in public. Almost equally as startling was the fact that other women walking by paid no attention. The young women sat in relaxed contentment, continuing to gaze at the fountain, and then had gotten up and walked dreamily away.

       John made many shocking discoveries as walked through the mall. Everywhere he went, in both the wide mall walkways and in stores, he had seen stuffed bodies, and countless other humiliating displays - of which on the majority, exposed genitals were most prominent feature. Walls were adorned with trophies mounted on plaques, identical to ones that he had seen previously, along with stretched hides. A department store had arches across the aisles that women passed under when going from one section to another. The arches were made from men's lower torsos and spread thighs. Every other torso was inverted so that the waist of one joined that of another and spread thighs connected in a like manner. In the lower part on the arches, the genitals on the upright torsos hung in a normal flaccid state, and the inverted ones dangled upside-down on abdomens putting scrotums on prominent display. On the upper part of the arches, as the torsos began to curve over the aisles, genitals started hanging outward an increasing amount until hanging straight down at the top.

       In one of the shops, John observed a display that succeeded in ridiculing his sex to an ultimate degree. It consisted of a large panel that was attached to a wall. The entire panel had been covered with rows of male sex organs hanging from ever-present patches of hair. They had been mounted so close that hardly any portion of the panel surface could be seen. All of the penises were in a flaccid condition, and the skins had been filled with a type of material that realistically duplicated the sensitive reaction to motion in the same manner as on a living man. The testicles had likewise been made from a material that caused them to react to motion identical to those on a living body. The feature that made this particular display so humiliating was the fact that the panel had been in constant motion. It rocked rapidly back and fourth while jerking up and down at the same time. As a result, the limp shafts flailed wildly in every direction, and the testicles jounced violently in a similar manner. The overall effect created the impression of a sea of frantic motion that appeared to be alive. The first thought that struck John had been a vast array of worms wiggling violently back and forth. His face had immediately flushed with acute embarrassment at seeing so many sex organs of his own sex humiliate themselves, in such a degrading fashion, before an amused group of women who giggled and laughed as they watched.

       John entered a jewelry store where he saw necklaces and bracelets hanging from erect penises that were attached to slowly rotating upright acrylic tubes. Oval shaped leather pads, made from the tanned hide of men's chests, were being utilized for placing rings and other items being shown to customers. The hair had been removed, but there was no mistaking the identity of the two nipples on each pad. The usual array of trophies and hides hung from walls as in all other shops and stores. He noticed something in the jewelry store, aside from the displays humiliating his sex, that was totally different from anything he would have seen his own era. All of the merchandise, even things of extreme value, were out in the open and easily accessible to the public. In addition, he did not see anyone that appeared to be security personnel. The honesty of the general public in this society was obviously trusted to a degree that would be unthinkable in his time.

       A restaurant was located in the center of the mall. When John arrived it had been at the height of lunch hour, and the restaurant was crowded. A menu was posted at the entrance and he paused to look it over. Most of the meat items had routine names such as various cuts of steaks, breast and liver. There was no attempt, however, to disguise the identity of the more ominous selections. They were plainly referred to as "broiled or steamed testicle", and, most ominous of all, "broiled or roasted penis". One of the selections under appetizers was listed as "crispy strips of deep-fried intestine with a tangy prostrate gland dip". John, in remembering his resolve, felt that it was important for him to observe the actions these women as they ate their astonishing meals. He knew that he must try to remain rational and, therefor, took a firm grip on himself upon entering.

       Once again he saw women eating penises and displaying the same degree of obvious pleasure that he had observed earlier. He also saw testicles being eaten, and the reactions made it apparent that these male glands were also considered a choice delicacy. He overheard a conservation between a woman and waitress that made a vivid impression. He was certain he would never forget the words or the casual tones in which they were spoken. "I think I'll have the broiled penis please". "Yes madam, how would you like that cooked"? "Medium rare please." "Very good madam and what type of dressing would you like on your salad?" The dialogue and attitude of both customer and waitress had been no different than a woman ordering a steak in John's time.

       While walking around the restaurant, he observes women also getting extreme pleasure while eating male breasts. He watches, feeling slightly embarrassed, as a woman playfully flips a small, strutted, nipple back and forth with her tongue before laughingly putting it in her mouth. He would have been unable to identify the other types of meat as being anything unusual if it were not for already knowing the source. He can not help but notice that women are able to slice and chew all meat items with remarkably ease. The women that were not eating sex organs did not have looks of ecstasy on their faces, but all appeared to be fully enjoying their meal. It had not taken him long to conclude that, contrary to his earlier belief, the flesh from men’s bodies, especially the genitals, is tender, juicy, and delicious.

       One thing in particular that John become aware of was that he did not seen a single plate that did not contain a generous portion of some type meat. He had no idea how these women maintained their lovely figures, but it was obviously through some other means than resorting to eating salads as did many women in his own time. The quantity he saw being consumed made him begin to doubt his earlier theory as to the size of the male population being limited. It would require being extremely large to maintain the supply if all women ate like this on a daily basis.

      He finds himself feeling a strange sensation at seeing meat he knows had come from bodies of human males, of which he is a member, being eaten in a public restaurant in the same nonchalant manner as meat in restaurants of his era. He also experiences a similar sensation at the sight of bare bones left on plates.

       As John was leaving, he pauses a few moments at the checkout counter. Most women pay in cash, and he looks at some of the bills placed on the counter. The money is very similar to his own time. One discernible difference, however, was that the pictures in the center were women. He was about to leave when a woman comes up and places a blue card down along with her check and money. John looks at the card and sees two rows of numbers with about half of both having been punched. It had an official looking emblem, and along the top were the words "RATION COUPON - RESTAURANT”. Above the top row of numbers were the words “TESTICLES (2-EACH), and above the bottom was the word “PENIS”. The cashier punched the next number in the “PENIS” row and returned it to the woman. This transaction makes him realize that, apparently, the sale of these desirable parts of the male body is being regulated.

       John left the restaurant and continued his tour through the mall. In spite of himself, he could not help from being impressed with the extraordinary innovation that had been utilized in making countless items and displays from male bodies and sex organs. Even the spouts on drinking fountains were partially erect penises standing upright and curving at a convenient angle for water to flow from open holes. In addition to merchandise similar to what he had observed earlier, there had been many others that he had not seen before. There seemed to be no end to the countless variety of humiliating articles that could be manufactured. He strolled through a clothing store that had garments made in part or entirely of extremely soft leather. He would have had little doubt as to the source even if many did not have small nipples artistically placed. In addition, he recognized that what at first appeared to be fur trim was, in fact, pubic hair.

      In a candle shop he saw that stems for candle holders, from single to full arbors, were erect penises. The tapered parts that held the candles, made from wood, brass, or silver, apparently had spikes inserted into the holes giving an appearance of being balanced on the tips of cone shaped heads. In numerous shops, he saw handles on an almost endless variety of items, even vacuum cleaners, made from penises. The majority of cooking magazines on newsstands featured glossy pictures of cooked sex organs shown in a wide variety of fancy culinary presentations – such as “Pasta and Penis Primaver”. The number of displays and items went on and on. The extent of the imagination that women of this society possessed in finding humiliating ways to utilize this intimate part of the male body seemed to be practically endless.

       As John walked through the mall he could not help but notice that the warmth and congeniality he had seen women display between each other earlier was the same. He had not seen a single woman that did not appear to be happy, nor did he see a single incident that showed even the slightest amount of irritation or discourtesy. He also noticed that all of the shops, as in the jewelry store, placed even their most expensive items out in the open with no security precautions or personnel present.

       During his tour, he observed several other women openly masturbating while looking at some of the more explicit displays. The astonishing actions of these women, like those of the one he had seen earlier, were not drawing any attention from others. He also noticed numerous women who, while not engaging physical stimulation, made no attempt to conceal the fact of feeling sexual excitement when looking at various trophies or naked bodies. These observations convinced him, beyond all doubt, that the women in this society possessed a strong sexual attraction toward the opposite sex while, at the same time, resorting to treating its members in the most humiliating and inhumane manner that could possibly be imagined. The only thing this discovery served, however, was to bring forth what appeared to be yet another baffling conflict in the very nature of this female society.

       John left the mall by a different entrance that contained another fountain identical to the first. He continued his journey until reaching the downtown area where he explored office and professional buildings. He did enter a single building that did not contain humiliating displays in large number. Lobbies and other places had stuffed bodies standing in various poses, and he had not entered a single office or meeting room that did not have trophies and tanned hides on walls. Hides used as rugs were also a common sight. He did not see a single lamp whose base was not made from male bodies. A popular item, lying on almost all desks, were paperweights made from penis and scrotum skins filled with steel shot. Throughout his entire journey of the downtown area, he did not visit a single place that put any degree of restraint whatsoever on displaying a wide variety of items that humiliated and ridiculed his sex. This had even been the case in lobbies and waiting rooms of doctor’s offices.

       There had been one item, however, that John frequently observed which had nothing to do with the male sex. He first noticed it in the mall but paid little attention at the time. It was only after observing it hanging in prominent places of numerous lobbies and offices that he had taken notice. It was the portrait of a woman that appeared to be in her mid forties. She was attractive, but not to the extent of most women of similar age that he had seen in this society. For some reason, he received the impression that she more closely resembled a woman from his own era more than a member of this future age.

       When it become apparent that the woman was obviously a person of importance, John studied her features closely. Her face displayed a look of intelligence combined with one of extreme confidence. But, her most outstanding feature had been the look of a woman who felt deep compassion for the welfare of others. He had been greatly impressed and had no doubt that she was held in very high esteem.

      Another thing he noticed in the downtown area was the same lack of security precautions he had seen in the mall. There were no locks on doors or on cabinets and drawers. He also did not see any police or security personnel. The extent of what he observed made it obvious that these women placed an almost unbelievable amount of trust in each other’s honesty.

       John also observes the same happy and courteous attitude being displayed in the work place that he had seen elsewhere. Supervisors showed no hint of overbearing authority, and subordinates gave no indication of feeling resentment toward either fellow workers or superiors. All of the women had been hardworking and he did see a single case of what would be considered slackness or goofing off.

      It goes without saying that John had been overwhelmed by the unbelievable extent which men’s bodies had been displayed, ridiculed, and humiliated in every place he visited. It had staggered his imagination and far exceeded anything that he imagined could be possible while contemplating next to the stream. He could not even begin to estimate the number of stuffed bodies, trophies, hides, lamb bases, and countless other items made from men's bodies and genitals. The most common item of all had been, by far, the penis. It had been displayed and utilized in every possible humiliating way that could be imagined. Without a doubt, the number of these prominent male organs that he had observed, in only a few hours, would be well over a thousand.

       After exploring a number of buildings, John stopped to rest in a small park located in the downtown area, and he began to reflect upon what he had learned. He had made many startling discoveries and had found answers to some of his earlier questions. But, he knew that he had not even begun to find answers that would shed any light on the profound mystery of how and why this female society had come to live such and unbelievable and astonishing lifestyle. These thoughts made him realize that, up to this point, the more he discovered the more confused and dismayed he became. He begun to feel frustrated until remembering his earlier determination to have the fortitude and courage to try every possible means to find some type of solution. He quickly put all negative thoughts out of his mind and resolved to continue the search.
