A few years after an encounter with “Jennifer,” which is its own, separate tale, I was doing my usual drive-by attempts at online witticism with a semi-public conversation about nothing with her in a chat room of an adult dating site when “Claire” showed up. As a curvy brunette with an outgoing personality, she was lusted after by countless men who flocked to chat her up, disturbingly many promptly offering to collectively show her enough penises to fill a bottomless pit. My strategy was, of course, to politely acknowledge her presence and move on. As she looked at a few specimens she was curious about, offering commentary on them not unlike a young, female porn version of David Attenborough, I gave Jennifer a brief hint-hint in private, kept up my polite distance and waited until she chimed in asking if I was going to join the Claire-inspired webcamming parade just to make it an even number of cams up and running in the room.
“Oh no, no…” I demured. “I’m positive she has more offers than she even cares to get.”
“Maybe I want a reminder?” Jennifer tried again. “I mean it won’t be as fun as it was in person but it would still be nice to see.”
