Here we are – we aren’t really into the surreal parts yet. There’s a lot of strangeness to come. This is Messny discovering sex.
8.
At school Messny worked exceedingly hard at avoiding work. His brain was besotted with the imagery of girls. He sat in lessons feeling his body ache and yearn. Focus was impossible. During lesson after lesson he learnt to gaze intently as if alert and enthralled while secretly residing in his head analysing his feelings of frustration. He decided that it was always as if he were being sexually stimulated, tantalisingly aroused. Who could expect any rational function in such a state?
Messny had discovered the delights of masturbation and rapidly become an addict. It temporarily relieved the frustration, but never for long. He analysed the art of masturbation as if it was a science. He recognised that it was all psychological. What was the neuronal difference between the jellifying heights and a neuronal twinge? Why was novelty such an important ingredient? Why was the female induced orgasm so greatly different? He set out to explore the subject in depth. There had to be a reason behind what made one experience intense and satisfying, and another merely a release. The main focus of his investigations was the female induced orgasm. Everything else in life was secondary.
To further this scientific project he spent much of his free time in school talking to groups of delectable young ladies, practising his techniques and nurturing his status. The rest of his time he spent thinking about them. He teamed up with Oz Groinburger who had a similar outlook on life and set of preoccupations. Together they were a formidable team. The double act of wit and repartee was highly successful. They were pure vaudeville with a routine that couldn’t miss. There motto was – ‘never ventured – never gained’.
Sometimes this was awkward. Girls had a habit of going around in pairs and often one was attractive and one not. Oz was quite cynical on this but Messny often found himself naturally inclined towards more retiring of the two. He found the prettier girls were arrogant and manipulative. Yet to maintain status it was essential to be seen with the prettiest girls in town. If you let that slip the supply dried up. Life was about having a good time for an hour or two. Nothing else mattered.
Frustratingly Oz was always the most successful with the prettiest girls, who he treated incredibly badly. Messny trailed in his wake picking up the debris and consoling the distraught.
There came a moment where Messny woke up to the fact that going with girls of lesser status made him less desirable. He had to raise the bar.
