Emily 2.0 Ch. 02

Satisfied at last that her pubic area was as smooth as it was ever going to get, she reached around to do her rear end. What did 4NR call it? The rear coupling area? Emily hated anal. She had tried it once with the same boyfriend she had mentioned to 4NR. While she had allowed him to finish at the time, from the moment of penetration she decided that it would never happen again. She hoped she wouldn't have to change her tune about that. It was disgusting and uncomfortable, not to mention degrading.

After she finished washing and shaving, she stepped out of the shower to dry herself with one of the fluffy towels 4NR had given her. She was unable to resist looking at herself in the mirror. The sight shocked her. Instead of the patch of dark pubic hair that she was used to seeing, now there was only pale white skin. She looked like a child. Well, a child on her Earth anyway. Here it seemed to be the other way around and only teenagers had pubes, and clothes. She had a rather forward-facing crease with prominent labia, which was now far more obvious without the hair. She felt that she didn't just look more naked now, she looked somehow vulgar, showing a whole lot more than she should be. She reddened at the thought of going out in public like this. Being seen without pubes was something she felt squeamish about even in an intimate setting. She had always felt embarrassed and stupid when she had shaved for that old boyfriend and had immediately discontinued doing it the moment the short-lived relationship had ended. His proclivities and demands on her played no small part in that decision.

As Emily re-entered the living room, 4NR was very pleased and didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her anatomy. She made no comment about it at least, but perhaps she was just being polite. Emily wished she had a vagina like 4NR's, figuring it would be much easier being naked and shaved in public if everything was more tucked away neatly inside.

"At last, the woman emerges! Is it not so much nicer to be revealed and not hidden like a child?"

Emily couldn't help but smile at 4NR's elation, even though inwardly she felt that having completely denuded genitals now just added to her humiliation.

"It isn't the custom where I come from," Emily tried to explain. "Well, some women choose to do it. Others choose to let nature take its course. Many more are somewhere in between."

"I am very glad it is not so here," 4NR responded, obviously aghast at the idea of a woman having body hair. "Now, sit with me and we will drink tea. In the late afternoon we will begin the rest of your preparations for Debutante. For now, though, I am sure you have many questions."

As 4NR served the tea, Emily was trying to decide what to ask about first. This place was a nightmare, and she didn't know where to begin. The idea that she might have to have sex with strangers both appalled and terrified her, but hopefully it wouldn't come to that before Collingwood came up with a solution to get them out of here. In the meantime, having to walk about nude and attend this Debutante thing seemed unavoidable, at least for the time being.

4NR sat down and appeared to be waiting on Emily to start. She took the cue.

"Um… so how long have women been required to be nude?" she decided on.

"Many, many generations at least," 4NR began. "So long that no one remembers it being different, but the legends do tell of a time of trouble and a new beginning many centuries ago where we needed to rebuild and repopulate. Some believe that women wore coverings before this time, but most think that is only a myth told to frighten debs."

"Oh wow! Do you know what happened?" Emily asked, suspecting something may have decimated the population and they'd decided on a policy of open sex in order to rebuild. It still seemed totally crazy but there had to be some explanation for all of this.

"It is not known. Some say perhaps a plague or a cataclysm, but it is hard to say with certainty. The books do not tell. Since then, and perhaps as it always was, a woman's gift is to reproduce and to give pleasure. Giving pleasure extends beyond womanhood into motherhood and then into cronehood."

"Old women still have to have sex?" Emily asked incredulously.

"Of course. Why would they not want to? And there are old men aplenty who prefer those their own age."

"Ok… and why is it so important to be shaved?"

"It has always been so. Only a girl not of age would be otherwise, but I think many start doing it anyway at the first sign of hair. I think it is mostly so a woman can be revealed in all her glory. Just as her body is revealed without clothing, so is her sex revealed without hair covering. It is a woman's gift and her honour to show herself."

Honour?

This didn't feel so honourable to Emily. It felt objectifying, degrading and humiliating. Knowing those perceptions would seem very foreign to 4NR, she dismissed her objections and continued with the questions.

"And what's with the collars? Why are women not allowed to have names?" Emily asked.

"Women receive a new name at Debutante when they come of age. It is an honour. I am not sure if there was a time when it was not so. Perhaps it is because if the father of a child is unknown, then it is only right that the mother is unknown as well. That way every child begins life on equal standing, and it is up to them what they do with it. Our successes and failures are all our own. Therefore, as a girl reaches womanhood, she gives up her sense of self and becomes a vessel for pleasure and reproduction. It is at Debutante that she receives her first collar with a gold tag to show that she is now a woman. It is a time of great excitement and celebration. Soon she will produce children."

So, women aren't just sex slaves here but baby machines as well? Good grief!

Still, Emily remembered kids she went to school with who had been born into a life of privilege and wealth. It had never seemed fair. Maybe some aspects of this world weren't so insane?

"Womanhood lasts until the age of 34 when she is given a collar with a silver tag like mine to show that the time of reproduction is finished and she is now a mother," 4NR continued. "Motherhood continues until the age of 49. They are tasked with raising the children of women so that they can quickly return to the task of coupling and get with child again. I work mostly with debs who are struggling in their studies and need help and support for Debutante. Usually, they are just nervous and need guidance, but sometimes they have more serious issues. I guess that is why they assigned you to me, but you are the first grown woman I have been called upon to help with Debutante."

"So, a woman doesn't keep her baby?"

"No, infants are a burden to a woman. It is better for mothers to raise them."

15 years of pumping out babies followed by 15 years of looking after someone else's brats. Seems fair…

"You mentioned cronehood?"

"Oh yes, bronze tags. At the age of 49 a mother enters cronehood and is given a collar with a bronze tag to show retirement, but they still play important roles in assisting the mothers with the infants as well as giving the gift of pleasure to those that offer themselves to her."

"Ok…," Emily responded, thinking about how undignified it must feel for an old woman to have to parade around naked as well. Her thoughts moved to how women might be trained and conditioned to accept all of this. "So, what sort of education do girls receive?"

"They are taught etiquette, reading, writing, arithmetic, and many other things that will help them when they become women and begin to serve society. Likewise, the boys are taught similarly with added academic subjects that they will need when they go on to become men and serve society in their chosen vocations."

"Are girls' educations limited then, or can they go on to tertiary learning?"

"There are opportunities for those who have a gift for the sciences and other skills, but it is not so common."

"I assume part of a boy's education teaches him how to treat women then?" Emily asked, thinking that this was probably where the social conditioning began for these people to accept the absurdity of this place.

"Indeed. A boy must learn the coupling commands, and how to offer himself and his seed when he comes of age, just as a girl must learn how to obey the commands to display herself to gain his arousal when she comes of age."

'Display herself to gain his arousal' rang in Emily's ears for a moment. The concept seemed so sexist and horrible, not to mention humiliating and degrading.

"I guess that's the reason why women don't wear clothes?" she asked.

"Indeed. It is important to stimulate desire in a man so that he will offer his seed. The female body is a thing of beauty and should never be hidden, especially from men. It is her gift. I think this is why we have such strong laws about it. I am sorry you experienced the rattan, but it is a lesson you needed to learn."

Emily could only stare blankly for a moment at that. She could think of no words, so she shook her head and continued on.

"You mentioned you had not heard of rape or non-consensual sex. What about pornography and prostitution?"

"I have not heard these words before," 4NR replied with a puzzled expression. "What do they mean?"

"Um… well they're basically forms of sex a woman offers in exchange for payment," Emily attempted to explain.

"I am not sure I understand. Why would a woman need the currency, and why would a man pay when any woman would give herself gladly and willingly?"

"I see your point," Emily conceded.

It was still fucked up how women were treated here Emily decided, but at the same time maybe there were other aspects where they were treated better than on her own Earth. A woman seemed to be able to live without fear here, assuming she was willing to fuck anyone who asked, anytime she was asked, and was happy to parade around naked and on display constantly. On that note, STDs must be rampant here.

"How do you get around sexually transmitted diseases?"

"We have had issues in the past, but we now have very good inoculation programs and treatments, so they are no longer an issue."

That sounded more advanced than on Emily's Earth, and there they weren't anywhere near as promiscuous as the people here seemed to be.

"What about love?" Emily asked. "Don't people fall in love and want to be together exclusively?"

"Love? Yes of course, some men and women do form bonds, but exclusively? Do you mean only couple with each other and no one else?"

"Yes," Emily replied. "Do people who fall in love here only want to couple with each other and no one else?"

4NR seemed troubled by the question and paused for a moment.

"Exclusive coupling is not a thing I had ever considered," she began. "It sounds selfish. Primitive. It would limit the gene pool for breeding. I do not think this would be a good idea."

"Where I'm from, a man and a woman form a bond to couple exclusively and then go on to become the mother and the father of any children," Emily tried to explain. "Um… I mean, he provides his seed, and she provides her womb. Together the child is theirs and they raise it together."

4NR looked aghast.

"But how would the woman return to coupling if she had an infant to tend to? Her reproductive capability would be greatly reduced. She would have to wait so much longer before she could breed again. I think our way is better where the older women raise the infants. That way a woman is able to couple again and be with child again much sooner."

"Don't you think children should have a father, though?" Emily attempted.

"Why?" replied 4NR, seemingly quite confused by the concept. "Men have more important tasks than changing diapers and such, and once the children are of school age, the teachers are men so then they are exposed to the male perspective, if that is what concerns you."

It seemed Emily's world was as foreign to 4NR as this one was to her. She decided to try another angle.

"What about if a man falls in love with another man, or a woman with a woman?" Emily asked.

"You mean same sex bonds?" 4NR responded. "Yes, they are not uncommon, but men still have a duty to couple and share their seed, and women have a duty to offer themselves for pleasure and breeding."

"Do you also have men who come to realise they have been born into the wrong bodies and wish to be women, and vice versa? What about people who identify as neither, or those who are either mentally or physically unable to couple?"

"There are surgeries and treatments for those who wish to change. It is no problem," 4NR replied with a shrug. "And there are also considerations for others who do not fit into either. I have had several such cases in my care in the past. Usually, they just choose to live as men and do not couple. There are also some men who go on to live as women without surgeries, and also women who go on to live as men."

Wait, maybe I could identify as male or non-binary, or even just asexual…

"What if I say I'm a man, or if I cannot stomach the idea of coupling?" Emily suggested.

4NR giggled at that.

"You do not have the signs, Emily. Clearly you are a woman. This you should be proud of. Honestly, I do not understand your apprehension. Are you not ready to embrace womanhood since it has been denied to you for so long?"

"Um… err…," Emily began, trying to come up with some other way out of her predicament.

4NR suddenly glanced at the clock on the wall.

"I am sure you have more questions but the time approaches when we must eat and then begin preparations for Debutante," she noted. "I should explain the ceremony next."

4NR got up from the table and went into her room. She returned moments later carrying a pretty little white dress.

OMG clothes!

"This is a Debutante dress. It is designed for the occasion and is the last clothing a girl wears before she becomes a woman," 4NR explained. "At the shoulders and sides are tear-away seams. One sharp pull at the neckline and it will come away in one motion. When you are called upon to reveal yourself, simply hold the neckline and pull."

Short lived clothes…

"Ok…" Emily began, wondering how she would ever have the courage to do that on a stage in front of an audience. "What happens next?"

"Next, you will be fitted with your new collar. After that you will be welcomed to society and be told to go forth and multiply. Then you will be given your first commands as a woman. The first is 'Sit'. You know 'Sit'?"

Emily remembered 4NR performing it outside her cell that morning. She knew physically she could handle it. Mentally would be another matter. She nodded her agreement, wondering how she would manage it in front of an audience.

"Good. It is not so easy at first, especially in the deb shoes. Perhaps show me?"

Emily reluctantly stood up and then easily dropped into the position, squatting with her knees open and her hands behind her neck. This was hard enough in front of another woman. She couldn't imagine how humiliating it would be to do this in front of a man, let alone in front of a camera and a crowd.

"Perhaps a little wider with your knees?" 4NR suggested.

Oh God! Seriously? Aren't I showing enough already?

Still, she did her best to get them wider.

"That is much better," 4NR said approvingly. "The second command will be 'Display'. It is like this."

4NR then turned around and demonstrated the pose, spreading her buttocks and labia apart towards Emily as easily as if she was demonstrating a yoga pose or something equally inoffensive. This wasn't inoffensive, though. It was completely graphic! Performing this one in front of an audience would be beyond mortifying.

"You know this one?" she asked Emily.

Emily knew it only too well after having performed it for the cops on two occasions already, so she nodded in confirmation while simultaneously imagining the horror she would feel doing this in front of a crowd or a camera.

"That is good," 4NR responded. Then a man will come to lead you away to your first coupling."

Emily swallowed at that. In the situation she was currently caught up in, it would seem this sexual encounter at least was going to be unavoidable. She felt sick at the thought.

"You mentioned it would be five men and you just smiled when I asked if they would… err… couple with me consecutively?"

"Oh yes, the others will be waiting in the bedchamber for you. No, it is not a consecutive coupling. That would be silly," 4NR replied with a smile. "Do you know the position where a man lays on his back and the woman straddles him?"

"Uh… yes," Emily admitted.

"One man will assume that position. At that moment you will straddle him and couple with him. Then you lean forward to allow another to enter your rear coupling area. At the same time, one will have taken position in front of you allowing oral coupling, and the two others will place themselves either side to allow hand coupling. Do not worry about staying upright as you take hold of them. The man under you will support you in his arms once this occurs. In this moment you will be coupling in every available way at once, and it is then that womanhood begins."

Now it was Emily's turn to look aghast.

"You can't be serious?" she asked. "I can't do that!"

"Why not?" 4NR replied with no small amount of surprise. "Every woman has done it. It is a moment of joy and extreme pleasure. It is her coming of age."

"Where I'm from, a woman only has sex with one man at a time, and only if she has feelings for him," Emily attempted to explain. "I would feel very frightened and humiliated to do the things you just described, and with strangers."

"You are nervous then?" 4NR asked. "There is no need to worry. Sometimes this happens and there is a solution. I have a pill that will stop the nervousness and allow you to experience the true pleasure of the moment."

"It might take a whole bottle of those," Emily replied with a frown, which made 4NR laugh.

"No, one will be enough, I assure you."

"I'm not so sure about that," Emily replied.

"You will be fine," 4NR added while continuing her smile. She glanced at the clock again. "Ok. Are you hungry, Emily? Shall we fetch something to eat?"

"I could eat a horse," Emily replied.

"You have such a strange way of speaking," 4NR responded with some amusement. "Your accent is unusual too. I do not think I have heard someone speak in the same manner as you before. Everything is shortened, and so many strange words, and the ways of the world seem to be completely unfamiliar to you. May I ask where you were raised?"

"Um… I'd rather not say," Emily replied as she tried to come up with a convincing explanation and couldn't.

"As you wish," 4NR replied as they left the apartment.

A few minutes later they were back outside and making their way to one of the restaurants Emily had seen earlier. She couldn't help but notice how different it felt being shaved. The air touched skin that hadn't been touched in a very long time. She was extremely conscious of how exposed she was now. No one had seen her with a shaved pussy apart from that one ex-boyfriend. That felt like eons ago now, and it wasn't out in the open like this where everyone could see it. The one saving grace was that she was not alone. Everywhere she looked there were naked women, and there was not a pubic hair to be seen anywhere.

An older woman approached on seeing Emily. She was clearly in her sixties but still held her figure surprisingly well for her age. Her breasts were even full and perky. Emily noticed the bronze tag on her collar.

"Where is your collar, woman?" the older woman began, obviously instantly noticing that Emily didn't have one. "Do you not know it is an offence to be without it in public?"
