S.: Yes, there was. It was in a little more than a week.
M.: But in this week you visited the Agency’s house several times?
S.: Yes, at least three times. I think.
M.: But what were you doing if you were not preparing for the… next thing?
S.: We prepared for the next thing too. But more it was – I would say… Actually, I was spending my time in a great company. And I’ve learned a lot of useful things there.
M.: Things? Sex things?
S.: Yes, mostly about sex. It changed my understanding of the matter really seriously. Jess read us a couple of interesting lectures, and I learned some practical things too.
M.: You mean it was like some school?
S.: Someway. Kinda. It was the academy to me. I would call it the Academy of the Venus [giggle]. In general, you know, Jess was indeed like some teacher. She told us about the history of eroticism in art… And about human perception of it through the centuries in general. She also told us about concepts of sex in different historical and ethnic cultures and some other very interesting things. Gosh, she is very smart. She is. Yeah.
M.: Can you tell us about the technology used by the Agency? What about all these terms and these rates? I mean, reality-fantasy and others alike. Seems quite weird.
S.: You know?!
M.: Yes, I have a paper, this one. I received it from the same source that told me about you. Don’t ask me who it is, because it is a secret, but I just have this paper, and I was told I had to talk to you.
S.: Oh, really?!
M.: And… what about these terms and rates?
S.: Yes. Jess explained us it all. When I first saw it, I was a bit puzzled. But Jess is one who knows how to explain everything in a few words. Well, reality-fantasy rate and possibility-fantasy rate, that means… that means that we should estimate how much it is possible. What we can afford from person’s wish list. You need to know what the person dreams about. And if we can’t do it all, we should try to compensate it with something. Maybe to do something that has… a value to it. An example can be when a person dreams of making love with elves…
E.: With Elves?
S.: Yeah. But we can’t give it, kinda. But maybe we can arrange that this person will have a sexy adventure featuring someone dressed as elf or we should propose something that will do well to a person who as we know have fantasies about elves. I mean that we kinda know what this person’s fantasies are. We should use it to please a person, adequately estimating our sources, our possibilities. Jess says it is all the same, no matter whether it is industrial production, some services or some filmmaking. It is the same in any production. I mean our unlimited wishes and real possibilities. And stuff.
M.: Oh… Got it.
E.: And you said about art. I mean that you learned there about eroticism in art. What was that you learned? I mean at least can you tell us what authors you had discussed?
S.: Authors? Well. There were guys like… Velasquez, Botticelli, Helmut Newton and also this one – forgot the name – Collier. And there were many others.
M.: So, it was the art you discussed in these lessons? If it is possible to call it lessons, of course.
S.: Not only this. We also discussed the types of sexual fantasies. It all was learned by me during the first week. There were other things next week too. And it all was fascinating [giggle]. Fantasies, as Jess told us, are as different and complicated as the people who have them. Every person has some very private set of own fantasies because it is part of her unique individuality. Jess explained to us why it is important to remember about a personal side of the question every time you deal with person’s intimate part of mentality. But no matter, as we should have some practical view about our doings, we should classify people’s fantasies. And then there is still a question of proper choice among classified items when you deal with individual, but not with the mass of people. And also, there are some most common fantasies people enjoy. There are fantasies when one would like to pretend to be a teacher or a student – it is called the school fantasies no matter what kind of school it is, secondary school, college, university or even an imaginary school. If you want an example, it can be a school of sex. Or some kind of the magic academy, it doesn’t matter. There is sports type, and it is when a person would like to have sex with sportsmen or sportswomen or to have it in some athletic or training… way. There are different types of S&M fantasies, of course. And in this case, you should know what a person would like to be – submissive, dominant or both, and what extent. And there are also some physical and emotional aspects of perception. A person may like only some soft spanking or a more hardcore thing. A person may like something hard. Or to be punished more morally than physically. In some cases, a person may even enjoy punishment and humiliation in the presence of someone else. And it is crucial that this third one would be present as it makes humiliation a more real thing. I learned that. It is because, for some people, it is an excellent way to relax and to let another one to do things to her or his body. To receive more pleasure you need to relax as completely as possible and take off your control and your defense. When a person takes off clothes, it is not for sure that the defense is off too. And it also may be a useful thing as some people enjoy to make love with someone whom they feel to be strong and powerful. It is a very animal way. I mean a natural thing. And the other way, a person may like to dominate someone just to feel himself or herself more confident and sure and then more relaxed too. And also, preferences about clothes, costumes may differ. There are many things like this. Many guys like a woman to be dressed in sexy policewoman dress. Others prefer a lot of black latex. S&M is very common type today as I know. In general, Jess said you could make a picture of people’s mass preferences through an understanding of what is typical for porn films today. She said it is even not because porn industry exactly knows what people want. But it is because people’s tastes and demands are defined by porn as they start to watch it in very young years and it affects their secret sexual desires very much. It kinda affects their fantasies.
And one of the most important things I’ve learned about the fantasies is that the person’s reality perception may be different from what he dreams about. Yes… And it’s OK. Some woman may dream about rape, but it doesn’t mean she would really like it in reality. Actually, one can’t really dream about rape, because what one dreams about is a pleasurable and desirable thing. And rape is an unwanted thing. It is some misssterming… It is an issue of terms. Mixture of terms. It is not a rape this woman dreams about, but a specific kind of sexual intercourse. I mean sex in some specific conditions. And it is a wanted one. And there are a lot of such things too. You should adjust the desired to the reality, I mean. And stuff like this.
And also, Jess gave us a separate lecture on the celebrity fantasies. She said it doesn’t matter that the people don’t fantasize about it too much, though they do, of course. And it is not true that they do it very rarely. People don’t fantasize a lot about stars as they feel it is almost impossible to make love to a star, but high status is something that was always of a high sexual attractiveness for any tribe or group of people. She said it is something of nature for people. She explained to us why exactly Freud would agree with her theory, her understanding of it.
M.: And why?
S.: It is because… it is at the core of people’s mentality. It has biological roots. And something. People gathered in tribes like animals gathered in the flocks to have additional opportunities which can be provided by society. And so, someone who is on top of the group is always more desirable. That is why, no matter how much the people have it in mind, they most probably would like it. Stardom is a very sexy thing [giggle]. The problem is that it is not so easy to turn a celebrity fantasy into action.
