I always thought of it as a fun, imaginary world where people lived underwater like Aquaman, had dolphin friends, and mermaid brides. As it turns out, there are some serious people who believe that Atlantis was a real place, and that it was home to a technologically advanced civilization and as we have seen with alternatives to the Egyptian timelines, any time discoveries conflict with the historical narrative carved into stone by mainstream academics, we might be treading in deep water. On this episode of Renegade Files we will do just that. We'll go back to the times of Plato and hear what he had to say, then we'll navigate the waters of Edgar Cayce the sleeping prophet, travel the Bimini Road, explore undersea locations where diving could get you arrested, and tie the whole thing together with a cast of unlikely characters such as Hemingway, the CIA, and even the Satanic cult involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's Island, and…Cousteau? This episode is a long one and by the end we will be off the deep end into some of the craziest circumstances and connections I've ever come across. It gets grade-A Chiquita Bananas.  So take a deep breath and dive deep with me as we get into Finding Atlantis: Plato, Hemingway, and Epstein Satanism. If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

When perusing Reddit for information that's isn't NSFW, Turk came across the Cool Guides sub-reddit and a guide to writing. The guide outline story structure in a 3 Act process, with smaller story/character arc within each act. Not having ever followed a detailed writing guide of structure breakdown before, Turk was curious about how his style matches to what you should use. Lastly, Turk tells Acomi about the mostly unknown Kanye West film Cruel Summer (2012), starring rapper Kid Cudi. Only playing once, at The Cannes Film Festival, Cruel Summer utilized cutting edge camera work and techniques created by Kanye. The most impressive being the Seven Screen Experience.

I went to what I'm calling Cult Fest 2024, also known as the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That was a site to behold. But with all that said, president Joe Biden has decided not to pursue a second term for 2024. Without a primary, without an open process, vice President Kamala Harris has quickly become the Democrat's. Presumptive nominee. Is this democracy or a Bernie Sanders? Redo. Stay tuned. We're going to answer those questions, Announcer (00:41): Connecting the dots with Dr. Wilmer Leon, where the analysis of politics, culture, and history converge. Wilmer Leon (00:49): Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon. I'm Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they are current, a vacuum failing to understand the broader historical context in which most events take place. During each episode, my guests and I have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between these events and the broader historic context in which they occur, thus enabling you to better understand and analyze the events that impact the global village in which we live. On today's episode, the issue before us is the 2024 presidential election and how the Democrats are selecting their nominee. My guest is Tom Porter. He's a lifelong activist and scholar, former dean of the African-American Studies Department at Ohio University, former director of the King Center in Atlanta, former host of morning conversations with Tom Porter. Tom Porter. Welcome back to podcast, my brother. (01:57) So Tom, as I said in the open President, Joe Biden has decided not to pursue a second term for 2024 without a primary, without an open process. Vice President Kamala Harris has quickly become the Democrat's presumptive nominee. I believe she has now amassed the requisite delegates in order to become officially the nominee on July 8th. Clinton advisor, James Carville, who is one tricky, somebody wrote a piece entitled Biden Won't Win, Democrats need a Plan. Here's one wherein he wrote, the Jig is Up, and the sooner Mr. Biden and Democratic leaders accept this, the better we need to move forward. But it can't be by anointing Vice President, Kamala Harris or anyone else as the presumptive democratic nominee. We've got to do it in the open, the exact opposite of what Donald Trump wants us to do. Tom, it doesn't appear, at least at this point that the Dems are listening to Carville Tom Porter (03:09): And they shouldn't. Wilmer Leon (03:10): Okay? Tom Porter (03:11): And they shouldn't. I remember the most important black labor leader in the country came out of a meeting with Clinton Carville and Al from, and he said, Tom, they're a bunch of fascists. It is the Clinton Wing that took over the Democratic Party under the leadership of the Democratic Leadership Conference, which was made of Southern governors, which has gotten the Democratic Party in trouble ever since. And what that means is that CarVal didn't want Kamala Harris. That's what that means. It had nothing to do with the open process and what have you. He would know open if he had a can opener, Wilmer Leon (03:58): But to his point about an open process, because further on in that piece, he talks about Clinton and Obama selecting, I think it was eight potential nominees, and that they needed to have regional town halls where these individuals would travel the country explaining their policies, introducing themselves to the electorate, and then based upon that, an individual would be, I think the term was selected, Tom. Tom Porter (04:30): Well, the effect of it is one of the things that Jesse Jackson and the Jackson campaign of 1984 is instructive and people should study that more. What Jesse found out that even though he was leading the other presidential candidates, that the rules of the Democratic party was stacked against him. It was called front loading. So for CarVal, they throw the word around democracy. First of all, the America's never been a democracy. It was born in slavery, genocide of Native Americans, and still the land from the Mexican. So the fact of it is it only had the possibility of becoming a democracy, and it has yet to come there. So what car is talking about it seems very, very interesting. But he crow controls the process, controls the day, and I'll guarantee you that Clinton and CarVal and that bunch are not going to have any kind of process that they don't control. And so it may look like it. I mean, it looks like Biden was chosen. He was number four. How did he get past three candidates and become number one? It wasn't open process. And I tell you one thing carve out and nobody else said anything because he was their choice because they wanted to stop Bernie Sanders. Wilmer Leon (05:52): There are those who say that Joe Biden was selected not to defeat Donald Trump. Joe Biden was selected to defeat Bernie Sanders, Tom Porter (06:03): And you are absolutely right. And that is what they have done. They did it with Jesse in 84. The whole Jaime thing was just that a hoax. Jesse never said it in any kind of way that was demeaning towards the Jews, but the JDL disrupted interrupted Jesse's announcement when he announced that he was going to run for president and hounded us, us being me, Florence Tate and Jesse, who were three people called the road team. When Jesse first started running in 84, they hounded us to JDO every place we went. And before we got secret service protection, it was Farhan and the FOI that protected us. So they were after Jesse from the beginning. It's instructed for people to read the platform of the Rainbow Coalition because Jesse has had the most progressive populous campaign in the 20th century. Wilmer Leon (07:00): I'm glad you brought that up. This takes us a bit off topic, but I think it is relevant because James Clyburn and a group of African-American leadership went in and met with Biden a couple of weeks ago, and that's when Clyburn came out with the line, we Riding with Biden. And one of the things that I said as a result of that was, what did you get for that endorsement When you walked into the room and you sat down with Joe Biden, did you put your own project 2025 plan on the table and say, look, Joe, here's what we need. Here's what we want. Here's what we demand. You're going to sign this or we're going to go back out here and tell people that you just fell asleep in the meeting. I don't know what they got for that. And based upon the way that this whole thing has gone, it seems as though they were once again on the wrong side of history. So for you to say that people need to go back and read the plan from the Jackson campaign, and then we can even go back to the black political, the Gary Conference, Tom Porter (08:15): Gary Convention, that Wilmer Leon (08:17): There's enough data. Go ahead. Tom Porter (08:19): Those are two documents that people need to read. Not only read, but they need to update them. That is the agenda that came out of the Gary Convention and Jesse Jackson's platform. Not only was Jesse's platform the most advanced in 1984, when I left the university, I was looking for something to do, so I decided to run for Congress and Jackie Jackson called me Jesse's wife and said, Jesse wants to meet with you. And I was in Cincinnati running for Congress, and I went to Chicago, spent the night at Jesse's house the day before 1983, and that's when Jesse asked me if I would work with him in the campaign. But I ran for Congress in Ohio and I ran in two counties that were 99% white and blacks and white in Cincinnati, which was a big city, said, don't go out there, show your literature, but don't show your face. Long story short, Mondell was at the top of the ticket. I got 2000 more votes than he did in Brown County and a thousand more than he did in Claremont County. He was at the top of stick. He was supposed to ticket, he was supposed to help me. The fact of it is it was just as populism that got basically these working class, mostly Republican whites to get behind Jesse because of his platform. It was a very populous platform to the left. Trump came along with a populous platform from the Wilmer Leon (09:52): Right, from Tom Porter (09:53): The right. And so the Democratic Party, instead of embracing Jesse's platform, which came out of the Gary Convention, instead of embracing it, they moved the leadership of the Democratic Party to the Democratic Leadership Conference and hired all of Jesse's people and gave them jobs which are meaningless jobs, moved the structure from the party someplace else. But these Negroes became deputy. This deputy, I call their names, but I don't want to, some of my still call friends, but they drank the Kool-Aid. And if you read some of the press around Clinton and his crew Al from, and James Carve, one theme was We don't need Jesse Jackson anymore. They marginalized Jesse so much so that in the convention in New York, Jesse didn't have a VIP pass. He had to come through the door like everybody else. That's Clinton and his crew, and Nancy Pelosi and Clyburn and all of the Negroes come out of that. Obama's position was to negate the progress and the black leadership that had gone before he calling Dr. King a simple country preacher, he couldn't carry Dr. King's dirty underwear. Wilmer Leon (11:12): Well, in fact, wait a minute. First of all is that negating the negation is the one question. And to your point, you can go and read President Obama's acceptance speech at the Nobel where he talks about Dr. King and then says, but I'm an American president. I have a different set of concerns that I must address. You don't quote Dr. King and then say, yeah, but you say, yeah, yeah. Tom Porter (11:43): But his job was to negate the advances that had been made and our responsibility, and this is what this generation of young people, when Joe Biden has to pass the torch, but not pass the torch, the Hakeem Jeffries and that crew, we have to negate them, which is called a negation of the negation, which is an affirmation of something at a high level Wilmer Leon (12:11): Because two negatives make a positive. Tom Porter (12:13): That's right. That's right. And so getting back to where we are now, of course Kamala Harris was not chosen as a result of some democratic process, and one would not expect that coming from the Nancy Pelosi, bill Clinton and them. And so the responsibility of this generation of young people and young people have actually shown from the mass worldwide protests around the George Floyd lynching, Greta and Climate can change the mass protests around the war and Gaza, the mass women protests around the world. There's a new populism that is emerging. And if Kamala Harris does not pick somebody to be the vice president to the left of her, she may have problems. Wilmer Leon (13:16): Now, when you say to the left of her, that's a very, very interesting designation because there are many who will say she is the left, that she was the left to Biden. And by the way, folks, Tom mentioned the Democratic Leadership Council, Joe Biden was an instrumental part of that as well. Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Joe Biden, they were all Nancy Pelosi. They were all part instrumental parts of moving the Democratic Party from the left. They want to say center, but it was actually to the right. So Tom, what do you say to those that say, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, Mr. Porter, vice President Harris, it's to the left of Joe Biden. Tom Porter (14:03): It wouldn't be difficult. (14:07) I mean that's a distinction without a difference. They say Twi D and Twiddly dumb. She was as a black person, as a black person, she would have to be given the history that she is a part of, be the left of most white candidates. But at the same time, she was not on the left. And so for her to pick conventional wisdom is a bunch of Bs curse of all. Somebody's always been telling me, well, Tom, conventional wisdom or you don't understand real politics. I say, I'll tell you where you can go with both of those. So conventional wisdom says that she should pick somebody from a state that she needs a governor. The protests and the mass movements that are happening, the populous movements that are happening are to the left. And they're to the left because the Democratic party and the Republican party are so far to the right. But what used to be when we said left, we meant socialists or communism. (15:28) But the left today is anything left of the Democrat or Republican parties. But if she is to, there are two things that I think that are important now. One is the platform. One is the platform. I mean, she's going to be the vice president, the president nominee. That's a foregone conclusion because any of these other people who want to jump up, they can't go anywhere. What's this guy out of? West Virginia said that he was thinking about running, right? The base. Yeah. The base of the Democratic party is black and growing Hispanic, and he's not going to get any votes from them. And so for him to say that he might run and they know it. They know it. And that's why they use Clyburn in 2020 who just as he said, we riding with Biden, we know Joe and Joe know us. I mean some of that old coon foolishness. So they know they can't move without black folks. But the same time they hoping that they got other cly burns Wilmer Leon (16:45): And they know they can't move without black folks, but they never offer substantive legislation to demonstrate a commitment because for as much as they know they can't move without us. They don't want to appear to the broader demographic that they're with us. Tom Porter (17:11): Well, the fact of it is if they were true and honest, Jesse Jackson would've become leader of the Democratic Party just like Trump did. Obama could have become the leader of the Democratic Party, but that wasn't his job. His job was to look good. He and his wife while doing nothing, my daughter sent me a magazine cover the other day where Obama was on there, and it was something about the new generation of Kool. He was supposed to be the replacement for Miles Davis and Malcolm X, all of the black people. We considered to be cool just because they taught him how to dress and walk black and he could shoot a basketball. So he did not want to be head of the Democratic party. He liked his job. He had barbecues and all kind of black folks in the White House, and they line dance and did what they did, and then he came out and did nothing. So the key thing now for the Democrats, if they want to win, I wasn't going to vote for Joe Biden anyway, and I already said it, and anybody that co-signs what he did in Gaza, he could be running against the devil and I wouldn't vote for him or the devil, so I wasn't going to vote for him. (18:38) Kamala Harris, black people going on the glory, they went on the glory with Jesse Jackson. They went on the glory with Barack Obama because black people feel their late nationalism that when we get somebody black, we'll get a better deal if we get somebody white. But as they say, you might be my race, but you're not always my taste. But they're excited about Kamala Harris. They're all this money and black women on Facebook are putting on with camera. I don't have a problem with that. The problem is what's going to be the platform and is she going to choose somebody to the left of her a more populous candidate? Because if she's not going to do that, then what are we talking about more the same? And the other thing that the Democratic Party has to do in the new world that we live in, they've got to loosen the grips that the Israeli lobby has on the party. Wilmer Leon (19:38): What about, I want to quickly go back to the issue with the African-American women and this proclamation or this statement, this sentiment that Vice President Harris has earned the right to be the vice president. And that any attempt to either have a more open process or anything that might challenge that is a threat to black women, it's a threat to black womanhood. Your thoughts on these politics, this whole identity politics thing, because she's a black woman, now all of a sudden is hands off. Tom Porter (20:24): Yeah, I understand that sentiment, but I understand it. It's like with Obama, we knew we questioned Obama, but the black women said that Michelle would keep him in line. Remember that? Wilmer Leon (20:42): Oh yeah. Tom Porter (20:43): They said, Wilmer Leon (20:44): Because Michelle we're from Chicago. And when she said that, I said, oh, we got some straight gangsters up in this joint. We got some Tom Porter (20:52): Elkins. But it was also because she was darker Wilmer Leon (20:56): Than Tom Porter (20:56): Obama. And even though Obama himself said he was a mu mother, he was sure about one thing, and he really wasn't black. He was clear about that. So I understand the sentiment, but everything else in our politics we've got to be serious about. Wilmer Leon (21:20): Not sentimental. Tom Porter (21:22): Not sentimental. That's what Dr. King said and his great thing about power, he said love without power. He said, power without love is reckless, but love without power is weak, sentimental an anemic. And so I understand that everybody wants to see somebody. I'd like to see short guys run the world. I'm five six. Nobody's deeper than that. Wilmer Leon (21:53): No, Tom, it's taller than that. Tom Porter (21:57): You're absolutely right. So I understand the sentiment, but that's the reason why I tell people that you must study deeper. You can't be all form and no content because then you end up saying that Michelle is darker than Obama and therefore she'll keep him in line. They were both like Clinton and Hillary, which was their role model, latter Day Bunny and Clyde's. So I understand that sentiment, but unless they turn it into something, unless they talk about the platform, what is the platform going to look like? What is camera going to run on? I mean, I see her quietly distance herself from Netanyahu's visit. She's going to be in Indiana, but then she's going to secretly meet with him. It's not so much a secret. So we've got to be, these are very, very serious times. And as they say in my neighborhood in Ohio, now's not the time to be nut rolling. So these are very, very serious times. And so when we look at passing the torch, who are we passing the torch to? Not Hakeem Jeffries, not the rest of these niggas, Roland Martin, they're all getting in line. They're getting in line without even discussing the platform. Wilmer Leon (23:26): Well, first of all, could Kamala Harris get away with not meeting with Netanyahu, understanding the power of apac, not meet with Netanyahu and still win the election? Tom Porter (23:42): I think she could. Wilmer Leon (23:43): Okay. Tom Porter (23:44): I don't think, see, APAC has never been challenged, (23:49) And APAC represents that group in the Jewish community who attempts to control everything that they can, particularly in the black community, whether you're talking about the music, the culture, or what have you got to say it. We got to say it because if we don't say it, then we allow ourselves to be chumped. And the fact of it is, is that it's got to be challenged and she won't, but she can challenge it by who she picks and what the platform's going to be. In apacs power is basically through the media, the media and its money. It's not the numbers that they have that can put a candidate in office except maybe in New York City, but she won't. But that has to happen. We cannot allow a group of people to control significant aspects of our community and not say something about it. Wilmer Leon (24:58): Wait a minute. And to that point, to those that listening to this conversation, want to jump on the antisemitism train and accuse us of being antisemitic, APAC said, and you can go back and look it up in the newspaper, they were going to invest 100 million into the Democratic primary process to be sure that they would unseat or prevent from winning candidates whose politics were to the left, and that they deemed to be anti-Israel. That's not us making this up. That's them making the declaration. All we're doing is highlighting and calling your attention to what they said. So we're not making this up. Tom Porter (25:51): I let those kinds of conversations roll off my back that you anti-Semitic, the same way when somebody says, if we get into disagreement and the first thing they go to is you got a Napoleonic complex. And my answer to that, would I be wrong if I was tall? So you can't be afraid of all these things because they going to come at you anyhow. I said to Jesse, when the ING thing came up, I said, man, just don't cop to that. And some of the people who were around him told him to cop to that. It was the biggest mistake that he ever made because they never heard him said it, and he never said it in a derogatory way. About, on the other hand, in our first meeting in New York, Percy Sutton met us before we were supposed to meet with the Jewish leaders of New York with a yako on his head telling us how we had to talk and act in front of the Jews in New York. So look, I don't pay any attention to that. We have to challenge, we have to cash all checks when it comes to us. And it has to be a Pan-African perspective where we really, where the continent and blacks in the new world. We've got to challenge those things that oppress us because if not in this serious time, Trump them are going for all of the marbles. Wilmer Leon (27:18): Yes, they are. I mean, Tom Porter (27:19): They're going for all of the marvels, and there's enough Democrats, white Democrats who will side with that stuff. Because quite frankly, where we are right now, in order to solve the world's problems, we have to understand two things. Who's been in charge of the world for the last 400 years? White men look at the state of the world. They forfeited the right to run the world, but you're not going to give up just because you enslaved. A bunch of people stole the land from the Native Americans. If we give up, we'd have to give up what we got. It's too bad, but we not giving that up. And that's what trumped them. That's what Hitler was riding on. That's what Trump didn't riding on. We don't want to give. Democracy is what it means to pay reparations, give some of the land back to the neighborhood. What the hell with democracy? That's what they're saying. Wilmer Leon (28:13): I want to quickly go back to your point about challenging APAC and other type of organizations, and I want to tie it to what's going on in Gaza now nine months into that conflict. And the Zionist government of Israel has been taken a ass whooping for nine months straight. And so this whole mythology of the invincibility of the IDF, that they're this phenomenal military force and they're getting their ass whooped. And so the whole mythology behind this thing is being exposed. And so just as it's being exposed there, it's being exposed here. The question is, are we willing to do what we have to do to challenge that mythology in alliance with those that are fighting in Gaza? Does that make sense? Tom Porter (29:12): Sure, it makes sense. Well, the fact of it is, given the geopolitical alignment in the world today with China and Russia and Brazil and different formations coming together, even the EU who has been lockstep with Israel, the eu, it can no longer hold to that position because without Africa, Europe is broke in terms of the resources. And so the Israel, where it appears to be winning because of the devastation that it is reaping on the Palestinian people, there will be a reckoning, and it's coming slow, but it is coming even among the evangelicals who say that the rapture will come when Israel is safe and secure within its borders, and then Israel will be destroyed. Wilmer Leon (30:12): Look at Yemen. Look at what Yemen has been able to extract or the force that they've been able to exact upon in terms of their involvement in this process. A small Yemen is considered to be the poorest country in the world. They control the Red Sea. They're sending missiles 1200, 1400 miles across Saudi Arabia and decimating important ports that Israel controls. The whole dynamic is shifting. So with that, when you look, you've talked about the platform. I remember when the platform committee meetings used to be broadcast on television, and I used to sit and listen to 'em. I know I need to get a life, but I used to sit and listen to 'em. That's not happening anymore. So how does a candidate, Harris, what type of platform does she articulate having sat there for years while the Biden administration is involved in genocide, while the Biden administration has wasted trillions of dollars in Ukraine, how does she formulate a platform that takes us away from that failed, attempted world domination and moves us closer to the direction that the world is actually going as in bricks in the South and the Chinese? Tom Porter (31:47): Well, as if we look at the Middle East, Wilmer Leon (31:52): The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is what I was trying to get to. Go Tom Porter (31:55): Ahead. If we look at the Middle East, Wilmer Leon (31:59): Is that a reasonable question to Tom Porter (32:01): Ask? Not only is a reasonable question to ask, but it's a reasonable question to expect that it be answered. You can't allow a small country in the Middle East, which was settled by people who were not from, that had no connection to the original inhabitants of the Middle East to control the future of the Western world women. There's a movie called Rollover, and this was when the Arabs dominated the money thing through it started Kris Christoff and James Fonder and the Greenspan character played by Hume Cronin. At one point, the Arabs were not going to roll over the money, and Hume Cronin said, you are playing with the end of the world. That's where we're at. You can't allow a group of people since Jesus time to control your system in the way that these people do, because it won't work with people talking about if they leave the dollar, Wilmer Leon (33:26): Which they are doing, Tom Porter (33:28): Which they're doing, somebody else loses their influence because there's nothing back in the dollar to begin with talking Wilmer Leon (33:38): About other than more dollars. Tom Porter (33:38): Yeah, talking about only a paper Moon Wilmer Leon (33:45): And Tom, people really need to understand for it because it's not really being articulated here in the Western media. Again, the power of the bricks, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and now about seven or eight other countries have joined the organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, those two as quiet as is kept in the West man, they kicked the French out of Niger. You look at the development of the Sahel cooperation organization, man, they are kicking ass and taking names. They are finally moving beyond flag independence, and they are now actually taking control of their economies and they are taking control of their countries and they are kicking the west out. Tom Porter (34:42): The Palestinian leadership met for two days in Beijing. I mean the world, one of the most popular soap operas used to be. As the world turns Wilmer Leon (34:55): In daily city, Tom Porter (34:58): The world is turning. And quite frankly, it's turning away. Not so much from the West, but from the ways of the West. And they don't get it. They don't get it. You can't put sanctions on the whole world without putting sanctions on yourself. You can't tell people they can't come to America, and you'd be welcome in Panama and Costa Rica and Brazil. It doesn't work like that. Or you'd be welcome in Africa. It doesn't really work like that. You tell the people they can't come. Well, clues the borders work both ways. We can open 'em and close, and you can't. I mean, the policies are so stupid in the West. I mean, it's almost particularly in the United States because they have sold this white nationalism for so long, they'd actually believe it themselves. The world is going on without them. Wilmer Leon (35:52): And to their point, I'm looking up here seeing if I could put my hands on it, but I can't quickly, Dr. Ron Walters wrote a book a while ago, white nationalism, black Interests, and I strongly suggest that people get ahold of it. To your point about the policy and the borders, which they say that the Biden administration put Kamala Harris in charge of the borders. I was at the RNC and this woman, Latinos for Trump is who I was talking to. And she was talking about the border, the border. The Democrats have just, I said, wait a minute, wait a minute. You are not even talking about the American foreign policy in these countries that is decimating their economies and forcing these people to leave their countries to come here. And she looked at me very puzzled and quizzical, and I said, lemme give you an example. Chiquita Banana last week was convicted in federal court in Florida of having sponsored death squads in Guatemala. So Chiquita Banana, a US corporation is killing Guatemalans, torturing Guatemalans. And that isn't motivation for them to leave their countries. She didn't even want to touch that, didn't want to Tom Porter (37:18): Touch it. I mean, it's very interesting that Trump would say that the people who are coming across the border are taking jobs from blacks and Latinos. Who does he think are coming across the border? Wilmer Leon (37:33): Oh, I asked her about Haitians. I said, the United States. Thank you. Hakeem Jeffries, thank you Kamala Harris, thank you. Linda Thomas Greenfield, the United States is trying to rein invade Haiti. Where are the Haitians supposed to go? Tom Porter (37:51): I mean, the fact of it is we have got to make sure and say to anybody that says that they represent us. Hakeem Jeffries, John Clyburn, governor Wilmer Leon (38:06): Gregory, Gregory Tom Porter (38:06): Meeks. Gregory Meeks, that if you're going to represent us, this is the platform brother. I mean, you had Hakeem Jeffries and Jonathan Jackson down here in Maryland supporting the guy from that owns Total Wine and Liquorice who was running for Senator Now, I dunno, Wilmer Leon (38:28): David Tron. Tom Porter (38:29): Yeah. And also Brooke. I didn't have no dogging hunt. But how do you come down here in this neighborhood and you support a white candidate who was no more distinguished than Officer Brook for what? Well, I know what Johnson Jackson did. He's in the same business. He's a liquor distributor and by man owns Total Wine. But I understand that he paid off some of Hakeem Jeffries and John campaign debts. So I don't know. But that's not representing us. You're not representing us if you're not on the side of the Palestinians. If you don't believe in the two state Wilmer Leon (39:10): Solution, Tom Porter (39:11): You're not representing us. If you don't understand what's happening in Africa or Haiti or Cuba, 70% of the people in Cuba of African descent. So you putting sanctions on your own people, you can't be co-signing that. And we got to say this, we got to negate the negation. We, as Margaret Walker said, let a new race of men and women rise and take control. That's what time it is. Wilmer Leon (39:38): So how do we get the presumptive right now, democratic nominee, Kamala Harris as a woman of color, as a multi-ethnic woman, Jamaican and Indian, how do we get her to speak to those issues? Tom Porter (40:02): First of all, we got to energize the black community because they're counting on that. And we've got to say to black women, these are the issues that we think, and there are black women who agree with us. These are the issues that we think that are important to the black community, and we need to have townhouses. We got to not only reenergize our black community, but we need to reenergize a movement because the struggle's not over. And we've got to put before, we can't just say that Kamala, you black, and therefore whatever you do is cool because it's not cool. Wilmer Leon (40:45): But that's the narrative right now, we are so ecstatic, and I'm speaking in the global, we are so ecstatic now that she is in this presumptive position and they are saying that she has earned the right to be there simply because she's black, because she's a woman and because she's been the VP for four years. But when you go back to when she ran for the number one slot, she was the first one out the race. She had zero delegates. She got less than 5% of the vote. Black people didn't even vote for her. Wait a minute. And final point, Tulsi Gabbard torched her ass in 45 seconds. And folks, I ain't hating. I'm just putting out the data, Tom. Tom Porter (41:39): Well, I mean she's earned the right as much as anybody else, but that's not really saying anything. Wilmer Leon (41:46): Okay? Tom Porter (41:47): It's not ever saying anything. The question is, now you here and this is what we're saying. Wilmer Leon (41:52): So what you going to do? Tom Porter (41:53): Yeah, this is what we're saying. We already went through Obama with this stuff and see, we got to quit accepting this notion of the first black to do this. The only reason why, I mean, you take the question of black quarterbacks. The only reason why there were no black quarterbacks in the NFL until there were some had absolutely nothing to do with. There were black quarterbacks, quarterback at junior high, black high schools and colleges ever since. There were some. And so the fact that you decide to let us in don't have anything to do with it because we've earned the right, we've earned the right. Our ancestors paid the price for us to be any damn thing. We want to be in this country. But now, if you're going to represent us, this is what we need at this point. And if you can't do that, it's okay. Do like Biden did go sit next to him while he's fishing, but we have got to have more programs like this. Too many people are not rolling in the press. You have people who, when I was in radio, well, you got to do both sides. There's no good side to slavery. I'm not even going to attempt that one so Wilmer Leon (43:04): Well. In fact, Tom, I've always, particularly when I started talking about Palestine, and I'd get calls from Jewish listeners who would tell me that I'm not balanced. And I said, no, I'm not trying to be balanced. I'm the counterbalance. Because anything that the positions that you want to articulate in the narrative that you want to hear, you get it in the Washington Post, you get it in the New York Times, you get it in the LA Times, you get it on M-S-N-B-C-I-A, you get it on CNN all day every day. So I don't have to present that because it's already presented. I'm the counter to that. And I think I got that from you, by the Tom Porter (43:46): Way. Well, it's very, very interesting. I was watching the BBC yesterday and the BBC hosts was saying, Kamala Harris is black and Asian, as if these would become factors. And she had an affair with Willie Brown. I mean, first of all, she's running against the cat who's damn near serial rapist Wilmer Leon (44:12): And admitted as such. Tom Porter (44:14): But then nobody mentioned that JD Vance's wife was Indian. Nobody talked about Nikki Haley being Indian. It only comes up with his black people Wilmer Leon (44:29): Who I talked to at the convention and was an empty can just full of talking points. Go ahead. Tom Porter (44:38): And so we going have to, the black community is going to have to defend her even if she doesn't want us to defend her because they coming at her. Wilmer Leon (44:49): Oh, no question. Tom Porter (44:50): They're coming at her and somebody's going to slip up and use the N word. Wilmer Leon (44:56): In fact, when I was at the convention, I was on the floor right after they nominated JD Vance, and that whole process ended the day session. I'm doing my standup with the convention floor in the background. And this other news entity had allowed us to use their standup space. And as I'm wrapping up, I say, I find it interesting that a guy who just three years ago was telling America that Donald Trump was the next thing to add off. Hitler is now going to be standing next to this add off Hitler as his vp. I said, how does that happen? And when I said that, the guy who allowed us to use his space came up and said, you guys got to go. You guys got to go. And we said, well, wait a minute. So anyway, but I raised all that to say that question. I'm not hearing many people ask, JD Vance said that Donald Trump was the next thing to Hitler, and he's now standing next to his Hitler. Tom Porter (46:13): Well, I say this about JD Vance and I put it on Facebook that he is either the white version of the Spook who sat by the door or he is the opportunist of the highest order. And I think it's probably a combination Wilmer Leon (46:28): Of nation of the two. Tom Porter (46:29): Yes, yes, yes. And I think Trump may be a little bit concerned now because Trump is in hot water because people don't like him now. They tolerate him. You think Mitch McConnell lacks Trump? Wilmer Leon (46:44): No. Oh, well see, in fact, I'm glad you said that because my advice to the Democrats right now is just put together a clip, a montage of JD Vance, of Little Marco Rubio of what's the dude from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, all of these folks who were, most of whom were sitting in Trump's box last week at Cult Fest 2024, which is also called the RNC Convention, put a montage of them, of Lindsey Graham saying, he's a narcissist, he's a bigot, he's an idiot. All of those put all that language Cruz, all the folks that were in that box kissing his butt. They need to tell the truth. Tom Porter (47:40): And at the same time, the Democrats, they've got some work to do. Oh, where do you think all of those people who were supporting Bernie Sanders in 2020, it's one thing for Bernie Sanders to be with the party, but those people, that's the reason why I said if she doesn't really pick a populous candidate as Vice President running mate, or if the platform is not one that is of a populous nature, she's got serious problems. Wilmer Leon (48:12): Those former Bernie people are part of that new crew called the Dual Haters. They're part of that new crew that is saying, we don't want either of these buffoons talking about Biden and talking. Tom Porter (48:25): And the fact of it is a significant number of the American people didn't want either one of 'em either. Correct. It was the press and the polls. And I say to people that polls are designed to shape and mold public opinion not to reflect the truth of public opinion. And of course, the other thing that nobody's ever, we haven't looked at, who are these people in the press? How many of them are actually Republicans? I know Lester Ho is Now, I'm not saying he's a Trump, but I'm just simply saying, because the press has been very, very lack in covering Trump. I mean, he lies. They never say that he lied. We are going to fact check him. Why don't you just say he lied about this? He lied about that. That's, that's the operative word. He lied. Wilmer Leon (49:21): In fact, I'm glad you brought up the polls because that part of the conversation got away from me for a minute because, and I know that the whole issue with Kamala now has just surfaced. So current polling hasn't taken place yet and hasn't been analyzed. But when you go back to, in looking at the numbers, you go to real clear politics. Trump at 58.4, Kamala Harris at 32.9. Now she has gained traction over the last couple of days, but still 58.4 to 32.9, that's not where you want to be with four months out from the election. Tom Porter (50:14): Yeah, but I think she has ignored the polls. I remember again. Wilmer Leon (50:18): Oh, absolutely. Tom Porter (50:18): Absolutely. I remember, again, traveling with Jesse and Negroes always ask these questions. They don't ask these questions. And they said, well, let's face it Jesse Jackson, you can't win Reverend Jackson. You got no organization, all this kind of stuff. And at that time, it was seven candidates in the race, and Jesse said, I'm number three, at least four other candidates that'd like to have my place. And so I think she has to ignore the polls because the polls are all part of the establishment, and they got a dog in the, and what's on the agenda now? What's on the agenda now is whether or not capitalism can in fact solve depressing problems that are facing the world today. And I would say that it can't. And so then what is the solution? I mean, I'm not saying that I have a solution, but I can say, what ain't the solution because it hasn't worked. (51:19) And therefore we got to be trying something new with some new people. And so the changing of the guard and the passing of the baton includes the passing away from white men, the same white men that who've been running the world, and the same white women who've been aligned with them. The passing of the church means that we got to not go with these Negro leaders who've been appointed, but to find our own leaders and to elect our own leaders, and the ones that don't do what we want 'em to do, we punish them by not electing them. Again, Wilmer Leon (51:54): Final question to you then. As you look at Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee, I've been saying it can't work by just changing the messenger and not changing the message. Tom Porter (52:12): Oh, absolutely. Wilmer Leon (52:13): Go ahead, Tom Porter. Tom Porter (52:14): I mean, absolutely. We've already been there before. We've been there with Obama. Obama had, in the first term, he had the House and the Senate. He did nothing. And so we can't just change the message, the messenger or be satisfied that the messenger looks like us. We can't have got the demand and insist that people who represent us at whatever level, they represent us from the city council to the Congress and what have you, that if you're going to represent us, represent us. And if you not get the hell out the way, Wilmer Leon (52:55): But Tom, so what do you say to those AKAs that are ski win and doing the electric slide behind Kamala Harris and saying, oh, no, no, no, you can't do that now. Oh, no, no, no. You can't say that now because you can't put that on her now because we have to get her elected. And if you play those cards now, you're going to put her in a very precarious position and we'll lose the opportunity to have the first woman as a president. So what do you say to them that will respond in that manner? Tom Porter (53:30): We don't need a first black woman president because she's black. It's like people who say people fought and died for the right to vote. That's a lie. I fought and I didn't die for the right to vote, not for the right to vote, but the right to vote for something and somebody that would represent me. And so as the old folks say, you might be my race, but you're not my taste unless you willing to do what the ancestors have done. The legacy that you've inherited is not a legacy of people who went along to get along. It's a legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer. It's the legacy of Dr. King. It's the legacy of SNC and Core. That's the legacy. And if you ain't in that legacy, then get the hell out the way. Whether you a KAI don't know nothing about Greek organizations because I'm gamma delta iota damn independent. But my point of it is, we could no longer listen to these kind of arguments. I mean, these arguments go slow, slow. They say go slow. I mean, Wilmer Leon (54:43): Yours will come by and by. Tom Porter (54:45): Yeah. But we are past that. The world is in a serious position. And last side, look, we're in the world whether we are talking about the environment, whether we are talking about violence in the street, whether we are talking about homelessness, whether we're talking about whatever we're talking about, black people are impacted about that. And if you ain't for that, then get back. And we have to say that. I mean, I have no problem with saying to people, including in my own family, now look, if you ain't going to do nothing, get the hell out the way. I mean, I say that to my daughters, my grandkids, my friends. If you ain't going to do 'em, don't come around me because that ain't my style. And my heroes were Dr. King and Malcolm X and Fannie Lou Hamer. They weren't AKAs or Deltas. We didn't care nothing about any of that. And some progressive people were part of those organizations. But we can't, if she can't get elected on a platform that's a progressive platform than how is she going to govern as a progressive. Wilmer Leon (56:02): I want to thank my guests, brother Tom Porter. Man, thank you so much for joining me today. Tom Porter (56:10): It's been a pleasure, brother.

Passion at the Camp Meeting - The Joy of Nymphomania. The revelation of Koinonia. (erotic coupling) By Loveangames69.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It was an impressive country estate, twenty-some acres with an expansive board fence around much of it to keep the horses in. A long gravel driveway led through woods and pasture to a large stone house with vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams that could be the set for a BBC drama. Instead, it was the center of a religious camp meeting, and impressed as Kyle was by the setting, he was asking himself what the hell he was doing there. Dave, a friend, had recently become absorbed with an obscure middle eastern religion that apparently had adherents in high places, and they had opened their estate to missionary efforts designed to increase the numbers of the faithful. Doing his bit for the cause, Dave had invited several friends, including Kyle and his girlfriend Lindsay to a weekend of camping, music, social interaction, barbecue and hours of boring religious indoctrination. [[MORE]] Kyle and Lindsay arrived early Friday afternoon and found a nice spot by a small stream to set up their small cabin tent. They joined Dave walking around a series of exhibits with religious displays, pictures and literature handed out by gurus who seemed tuned into ultimate truth on a higher spiritual plane. Most members of the order were dressed in normal casual wear, although some were decked out in saffron robes and gold-colored necklaces and amulets. There were some decent flute players and tambourine shakers, but nothing to attract agents looking for the next Springsteen. The tour led into the impressive house, where Dave introduced Lindsay and Kyle to its owners, a pleasant middle-aged couple who had serene smiles painted on their faces, and then to another of his friends, Paul, who he had known from college. Paul was rather quiet, not contributing much to the conversation. Already converted, perhaps? They all attended a lecture by one of the high preachers of the order, whose resonate voice and elaborate hand gestures failed to draw Kyle into appreciation of the doctrine being espoused. Instead, his eyes rolled and wandered around the large room serving as lecture hall, taking in its exposed beams, drapes, overstuffed leather chairs and sofas and sculpted walnut tables. The magnificence was cheapened, he mused, by rows of cheap metal chairs squeezed in to accommodate the audience. More propaganda talks followed an evening barbecue on the stone patio. Kyle tried but failed to understand the attraction this sect had for Dave. His friend had enjoyed a rather wild and libertine lifestyle in college – lots of booze and women. Perhaps Dave was looking for more in life as he got older, or maybe just for “more” from an attractive blonde adherent of the order who had introduced him to it. Anyway, by the time the evening schedule had been completed, Kyle was thinking he had made a serious mistake in accepting this invitation and was wasting a weekend. He expressed that foreboding to Lindsay and silent Paul around a campfire singalong featuring religious themes in Persian folk music. As Dave mouthed verses in harmony with the faithful, Paul revealed he was not a convert, admitting he had similar reservations about the doctrine, but added that he questioned most other doctrines as well. He was just taking in the atmosphere, he said. Lindsay nodded. “Look upon it as an introduction into a different culture,” she said. “Talk to a few people of the different persuasion. You may not convert, but you might learn a few things and have an interesting experience.” Kyle's tall, dark haired, shapely girlfriend with the deep brown eyes was an open-minded sort, and he had learned a lot from her, both intellectual and sensual. Paul was also looking at Lindsay with a serious expression, appraising her words, or maybe appraising her. Soon, even the open-minded had enough, and they returned to the camping area. Night had set in, and Kyle held a light while Paul set up his small dome tent a short distance away, then started a fire. The three of them sat around it for a while. As earlier, Paul was not a great conversationalist, although when he did say something, it was interesting. He had been deployed with the armed forces in the Middle East, and been involved in some traumatic situations, which he was reluctant to go into detail on. Now discharged, he was readjusting to civilian life, trying to figure out what to do, he told them. Lindsay looked sympathetic Not too far away was a large cabin tent. Three males and a female of college age were milling about, throwing wood into a ring for a campfire. The girl was good looking, medium length blonde hair, blue eyes, nice body which showed off well in shorts and tight blouse. She seemed high spirited, and from what Kyle could hear, had a vocabulary that did not seem in line with staid religious doctrine. Next morning, Kyle and Lindsay invited Paul to ride with them to a nearby cafe for breakfast. They were in a booth when a young woman approached and asked if she could join them. Kyle recognized her as the one at the neighboring tent. She sat down on Paul's side. “I saw you out at the mansion,” she stated. “Thought we should get acquainted. I'm Joy.” After full introductions were completed, Kyle warned Joy, “We're just visiting here at the invitation of a friend. We're apostates, except maybe for Lindsay, who hasn't decided yet if this particular god is dead, or only has a bad flu.” Joy smiled. “I kind of figured that. You guys didn't look to me like you were chanting or going hallelujah at those boring talks last night.” “So you're not one of the faithful either,” Kyle said, returning the smile. “No, in fact I'm really bummed,” she said. “One of my classmates at State invited me. He said he and two other guys were going to a group camp-out, and they really wanted me to join them. He was so intense, I thought it was gonna be a love-in or something.” Lindsay snickered. “Bunking in a tent with three guys – that could sound like an invitation to something other than a religious revival.” “Yeah, I thought I might have difficulty walking by the time I got back, but all they've been doing is trying to save my soul. They have their noses in the scriptures rather than around my pussy. I can't interest any of them in taking a sniff.” Kyle felt a stirring in his groin. “What is wrong with the male congregation around here,” he asked rhetorically. “Well, maybe you'll just have to convert.” “No way. I can't get interested. I like to fuck too much.” Joy said it with a smile, but also as a simple statement of fact, no humor intended. “If anything, I'm going to convert some of the guys around here to my philosophy – sex is a higher calling than any religion; fucking is the closest we're ever going to get to divine love.” Kyle's eyes bugged out, as he smiled broadly at this girl's candor, also feeling more of a stir between his legs. Through the corner of his eye he saw Lindsay put a hand to her mouth, her eyes wrinkling in amusement. Paul's expression was placid, with no noticeable change. He took a drink of his coffee. The conversation continued; the subject matter just as provocative. Joy was voluble and animated, talking about places she had been and guys she had been there with. One detailed account was of a sailing trip with a boyfriend, during which she had sex with the captain and one of the crew as well. Kyle was curious if this nymph was really hot to trot or just all talk. It would be a shame not to find out, he decided, as she looked delicious. He and Lindsay had an “open” relationship. In the three years they had been living together, they had not gone actively looking for new people to spice things up but did take the bait a couple of times when someone cast a line in their direction. Nor did either of them try to dissuade the other from netting an interesting catch. Back at camp, as they prepared to endure the day's spiritual propaganda, Kyle told Lindsay of his attraction to Joy. “I got that vibe from you,” Lindsay said, taking his arm. “But maybe you should check with Paul before you start out hunting. He's here all alone, and my intuition tells me the poor guy is lonely. He might be able to use a pick-me-up, and after all you already have such recourse if you need it.” She batted her eyes. She was right, although Kyle really preferred to seek his own enlightenment with Joy and did not feel overly altruistic when he went to Paul's tent, just mentioning offhand that the girl might be a nice choice to brighten up the weekend. Fortunately, Paul was not greatly interested in Joy. “She came on to me at the restaurant when you went to pay the bill, and I told her I'd think about it, but frankly, she's like the B-girls around the base, not out for anything more than money and a stiff dick. Nothing against sex, but I'm trying to find a woman with more than just hormones – one with some depth and substance.” Kyle reported that conversation to Lindsay. She looked thoughtful for a moment, then said lightly, “Go ahead and try to scratch your itch. I'm cool to hang with Dave and Paul at today's agenda.” They walked over to the proceedings. Kyle told Lindsay he was going to scout around “for something interesting,” and she smiled knowingly. He soon spotted Joy at a lecture. Her companions, the three guys, were listening attentively to the speaker. Joy looked completely bored. He walked over and took an empty chair next to her. “I've been thinking about what you said during breakfast about your philosophical convictions. If you're bored, maybe we can find something more stimulating around here,” he whispered, with a suggestive smile. “I think we should,” she responded with a coy look, and rising from her chair, told her friends, “I'm going with this potential convert to see if I can develop his inspiration into something solid.” They looked a little confused but smiled their blessing and uttered some Persian phrase for “see you later,” before renewing their concentration on the lecture. “It may be a challenge converting those guys to your ecclesiastical views,” Kyle said, as they walked away. “Lost cause,” Joy agreed. “But this weekend may turn out good after all. I may not get three guys at once to play with, but maybe it's not a total loss. So, tell me, what do you have in mind and where do you want to do it?” she asked with a grin, taking my arm. “I think you should take the lead in this endeavor. I'm open to any guidance. As for location, we could strip to our souls and start in my tent near the stream of living water.” “Oh, I'm getting wet just thinking about it,” she responded, skipping a little, her loose blouse bouncing a little in the strategic location. We picked up our pace. “I guess your friends Paul and Lindsay aren't joining in,” she said, sounding a little disappointed. “No, they're still reviewing that rival theology, but gave their blessing to our endeavor.” “Does Lindsay fuck both you guys?” A direct question, for sure. “No. She and I live together. Actually, we just met Paul yesterday.” “I was hoping he might join in too. I get excited in a crowd, and you guys both look like studs. But you'll do by yourself if you can keep up the energy. Guys say I'm very demanding.” “I'll do my best for you, Joy.” Do my best to enjoy Joy, Kyle thought, an erection well under way. They reached the tent. Kyle unzipped the door, and they went in. Fortunately, it was shaded by a large oak, so not too hot inside. There was no need for preliminaries. Joy quickly pulled her blouse over her head, her well-formed braless boobs jiggling a little, and slid down her shorts and panties. She had a nicely sculpted bush, Kyle noticed. He took off his own t-shirt, at the same time she pulled down his lined shorts. His dick was already semi-hard from anticipation. “Let's pump it up a little,"Joy said, taking hold of it, and giving a few yanks. It quickly responded. She sank to her knees before it, and he had an impression of a high priestess worshiping a phallic image. "I love these things,” she said, licking up and down it enthusiastically. “It appears you've studied the liturgy. How many such icons have you had?” Kyle asked. ‘Oh, I don't know. I lost count. Maybe over a hundred by now. I just turned 19. I've been fucking for a while. Really picked up speed my freshman year. It would probably be advisable to wear a condom, Kyle thought. Joy enthusiastically sucked his cock. He was enjoying it, but slowed her down so he did not lose control. He thought about returning the oral favor but was hesitant, thinking about what might have been left by some of those hundred-plus cocks that been in there before him. She solved the dilemma, coming off him and lying down on the sleeping bags, spreading her legs widely. “Come into me, Kyle. I need a good, hard fucking from a big dick.” He quickly complied, dropping between her legs and poising his erection at her entrance. He was about to stick it in before remembering the condom, quickly retrieving his wallet and taking out the little package. He tore it open. “Oh, let me. I like doing this,” Joy said, taking the little vinyl ring from him, and rolling it down his stiff cock. “Now, come in.” He inserted the tip in. There was very little resistance, and he pushed a little deeper, quickly sliding all the way in, pubes meshing against pubes, and started thrusting. Joy had her eyes wide open and was encouraging him with cries like “good fucking cock, deeper, stop there, go round and round, kiss the sides.” Kyle remembered her saying she had received complaints that she was demanding. “Wait a minute. Let's change positions,” she said. She rose and told him to lie on his back. He did and she straddled him, taking his dick in hand and guiding it back into her. She rode him vigorously for a minute or so, then dropped her torso for some boobs-to-boobs contact between their chests. Her boobs were firm the nipples at attention, he noted happily, as she began twerking with her butt, controlling the rhythm of the fuck, her vagina almost expelling his dick, then reclaiming it with vigor. Damn, but the girl is enthusiastic, Kyle thought. A short while later Joy directed another change, coming off him and assuming the position for doggie style. He entered her again. She dropped her head so one cheek was lying on the sleeping bags, her butt high as Kyle thrust in and out. “Oh, yes, this is my favorite – your dick is just the right size, shape and length for this,” she said. “Fuck me. Harder.” He did so for several minutes more. She urged him to slow down or speed up occasionally, but for the most part just made happy little moaning sounds. Kyle lost track of how long they fucked, going into a sort of mechanical zen state of pleasure. Joy brought him out of it eventually when she began making grunting sounds mixed in with dirty talk. “Hear that dick sliding in and out, hear the sounds it's making, like spitting and slurping. Now it's like a suction cup. Hear your thighs bounding off my ass, or is that your big ball sack bouncing around between your legs, slapping me just below my cunt as you come in. Oh, that dick is so big and powerful. It's one of the best I've ever had. I wish I could take it home. It's better than any dildo.” All that talk had the predictable effect. “I'm going to cum,” Kyle announced, and he did with a loud grunt or two. “Keep going, you fuck! Keep going. I'm almost there,” Joy yelled. He valiantly complied, willing himself to stay hard, and she screamed so loud he was sure it could be heard at the mansion house and the cops would be called to investigate. He slowed his pace as her screams died down, finally ceasing. He remained inside her for another minute or so, then leaned back, his dick popping out with a final suctioning sound, and collapsed on his back next to her. She dropped down on her stomach, her face turned to the side, smiling at him. She. was soaked in sweat, as was he. “You are one good fucking man,” she said. “That was better by far than my three friends could have done if they took turns on the best day of their lives. I'm rating your dick in my top ten.” “Thanks,” Kyle said. “You were good too. Your experience shows.” They lay there a while, recovering energy. Finally, Kyle took off his condom and tied it against spillage, putting it in the trash. He opened the tent flap and peered out. Seeing no one around, he suggested they take a dip in the brook to wash off the sweat. Gathering their clothes, they picked a location on the stream bank shielded by bushes in case anyone should come walking that way, entered the water and splashed around. Joy took his now flaccid cock and scrubbed it with her cupped hand. Sitting on the grass in the sun, drying off, Joy rattled on about how great a fuck it was and how good Kyle's dick was, then began reminiscing about guys she had fucked, in what positions, with details about the sizes and shapes of their cocks and how long they went. “The largest dick I've had was a foot long, but it wasn't as good as a fat eight-incher belonging to one of my instructors. He gave me an A in the course even though I flunked most of the tests,” she said, laughing. “The smallest dick I've had was barely five inches, but it wasn't too much of a disappointment because it made contact with my G-spot.” It was only a little after noon, and Kyle wondered what to do now with this nymphomaniac, finally proposing they eat at the food court and take a drive somewhere, “maybe even into the city. There's a lot to see and do there – parks, art galleries, museums, …” “Let's do that,” Joy said excitedly. There's a museum I've wanted to see for some time.“ So she did have some interest in cultural things, not only fucking, he thought. They drove to the city, bucolic countryside giving way to strip malls and urbanization on increasingly busy roads. There was not much new conversation of a memorable nature, just more on the "fucktastic sex” they had just experienced, which jogged her memory anew on “sexsational times” with other lovers, exotic positions, almost getting “busted” by her parents, etc. Once she had fucked two cops in their patrol car so they would not write her up for reckless driving. Looking at her phone occasionally, she gave Kyle directions on how to get to the museum, which she did not name. “Saving it as a surprise,” she said. “It has a lot about my favorite subject.” So it was not a great surprise when they eventually arrived at the “Museum of Sex” in a rather tacky art deco building on a side street in a questionable neighborhood. Kyle paid the admission charge. They were given a guide to 15,000 items on display, including an antique vibrator, a dildo resembling Chiquita Banana and a Braille issue of Playboy Magazine. Also, several accessories used for “enhancing pleasure or pain.” A museum highlight was the “Erotic Carnival” – a sort of fun house entered through a design resembling giant pussie lips. Once inside, patrons could roll skee-balls into rings and pull at plastic penises that projected through a wall, which if done right earned tokens to feed into small viewing booths that featured “a curated selection of cinematic and music video compilations and experimental films.” The tokens were also good for “discounts” at a gift shop that sold the cinematic delights along with authentic replicas of historical erotic artworks and the other museum items on display. Joy did well in the carnival, and put serious contemplation into the gift shop, figuring how to use her discounts. At one point she grabbed Kyle and said her earlier fantasy was possible. She virtually begged him to give her a “Favorite Member Remembrance” item, promoted as a means to “renew the pleasure after the lover is only a fond memory.” But Kyle refused to stick his dick into a conveyance resembling a sausage grinder which would make a cast of his erection for use in manufacturing “a customized, one-of-a-kind dildo out of the finest latex.” “Who knows how many other dicks have been stuck into there, and what they might have been carrying,” he told her. “But they say they sterilize the mold after each cast,” Joy said. “Pick something else.” Joy settled for a novel “French Tickler” dildo and a video on the Kama Sutra. Since her discounts did not come close to covering the cost, Kyle paid for them as a present. Joy bubbled over, recounting the sex “museum” in detail on the drive back. She took Kyle's present out of the bag, pulled down her shorts and exercised herself with it, emitting appropriate vocals. “Oh, pull over there,” she said at a cleared area along the side of a rural road. He did so, figuring she had to pee. Instead, she reached inside his shorts and began fondling him. “I want to play with the real thing again,” she said. Kyle was no longer feeling sexual need, but still, when an attractive young blonde massages you, it is difficult to be apathetic, and he soon expanded. Joy extricated it from his shorts, and went down on him, slurping with abandon as she used her free hand to continue manipulating his present inside her. She was good, and in a few minutes he lost it. She took in what he had to give, gulping and swallowing, then licking him clean. Back at the religious camp meeting, Joy was so happy with how her day had gone that she insisted on taking Kyle into the tent for another round of passion. Stripping and lying down, she resumed putting Kyle's gift to work immediately, plunging it in and out to warm herself up, directing Kyle to “hurry up.” He was actually feeling sated by this point, but she was so insistent that he disrobed, managed to get it up again, with some vigorous ministrations from Joy, and donned a condom. He exercised her missionary style for a while, but she wanted it doggie and then to ride him. As earlier, Joy was very enthusiastic, overusing her vaginal muscles, which pained him so that Kyle had to urge her to lighten up. He managed to get her off rather quickly by furiously manipulating her clit as she rapidly bounced on him, and as Joy's screams faded he managed his own orgasm. It was his third time, in only five or six hours, and he had never been so glad to stop sex. There had been just too much of a good thing this day – in person and vicariously, with extensive commentary by Joy the entire time. For the first time, he truly realized the significance of the words “insatiable” and “superfluous.” There was some rare silence as Joy came down from her sexual high, during which they could hear a man and a woman vocalizing nearby – grunts and moans – and vinyl material being thrashed. Could it be the walls of Paul's small tent nearby? Kyle heard Lindsay's voice cry out, “Wonderful, just like that, oh so good,” and a low male voice respond with something inarticulate. There were further exclamations and sounds of abused tent fabric. “So, you guys only just met Paul,” Joy said. “Sounds like Lindsay is getting to know him fast.” She lifted a leg and rose off of Kyle, plumping down alongside him. He saw that his dick had shrunk rapidly and took the condom off before it fell of its own accord. He tied it, but there was not much content, which Joy noticed. “You were no flow this time.” she said. “Want to do it once more? Those sounds next door are getting me stoked again.” “I'm not in the mood,” Kyle said, feeling panic at the thought of another exercise with the insatiable Joy, and also a little unnerved at what was apparently going on in the adjacent tent. He had not expected Lindsay and silent Paul to get the hots for one another. “Let's get dressed. I'll help you find your friends,” he told Joy. She seemed reluctant, and to be actually enjoying the close vocalizations, but complied. As they exited the tent, it was evident that Paul's shelter was indeed vibrating from movement inside. Lindsay cried out her enjoyment again. No one was at the tent occupied by Joy's friends, and she did not want to stay there by herself, so Kyle walked with her toward the main house. Before they were out of sight, he looked over at Paul's tent and could see the fabric continuing to move. They found Joy's friends at a lecture. Kyle gave her a little hug, saying it had been an interesting day, and wished her well. She threw her arms around him, and kissed with tongue while grinding up against him. The lecturer paused momentarily, probably in shock at the non-theological sight, Kyle thought. He left the house and seeing his friend Dave, walked over to the patio. Dave was alone, chanting some religious litany from a book, pausing when he noticed Kyle. “I didn't see you around much today,” he said. “Yeah, I got involved in activities with another guest.” Dave smiled. “I did see you with a guest, so I think I know who you mean. Well there's all sort of enlightenment. I hope yours was edifying, or at least enjoyable.” “Definitely a lot of Joy,” Kyle responded. “Lindsay and Paul came to a lot of our events,” Dave said. “They seemed to be getting more into it.” “Yes, Paul is especially into it at present,” Kyle acknowledged, dryly. “Lindsay getting it too.” The innuendos had not escaped Dave. “So you scored,” he said. “And if I'm reading you right, Paul did too. But with Lindsay? How does that sit with you?” “I'm not happy about it, but it's okay with me as long as it's okay with her,” Kyle shrugged. “I haven't talked with her about it yet.” “Well, if the conversation doesn't work out well and you need to talk, I'm around. My new faith has guidance in these situations, to go along with my own wisdom,” he said with a grin. Kyle walked back to the camping area, noticing that Paul's tent was no longer in motion. He went into his own shelter. Lindsay was there, sitting on the bedrolls. Her brow was sweaty, her hair disheveled and knotted. She was running a comb and brush through it. “Hi,” he said. “Hi,” she answered Silence reigned. “There's a bath house with showers over by the pool,” Kyle said, taking a towel and kit with soap and shampoo from his pack, along with new shorts and t-shirt. “I'm going over there.” “I'll go with you,” Lindsay said, rummaging through her pack for similar items. Conversation was muted as they walked toward the showers. Lindsay finally ventured into it. “Did you have a good time with Joy?” “It was interesting but overkill. It sounded to me like you and Paul were enjoying yourselves too.” “Yes, Paul is really sweet. And he needed a boost.” After a brief pause. “I'm going to see him again. We made tentative plans for next weekend.” “Oh?” “It doesn't bother you, right?” He shrugged. “You let me explore my curiosity, and I've never got in your way. We practice what we preach. If that's what you want, you should go and have a good time.” “How about Joy? Will you see her again?” “No, she has sex on the brain, with little else there. And my body can take only so much.” “I thought she might be a little too focused and energetic for you. So, you are not overjoyed with Joy.” Lindsay smiled and took Kyle's arm as they walked. “Actually, to mix metaphors and innuendos, I am not overjoyed about Paul, but am 'over Joy,' in both present and future tenses.” Lindsay smiled, squeezing his arm. “I wouldn't have thought that, judging by all the noise coming from the tent as Paul and I came back from the afternoon events.” “Too much noise. I like sexy women, but want one with more depth and sophistication, like the one I'm with now.” “Funny, that's almost exactly what Paul said to me as we listened to you and Joy. I kissed him, and he responded, and asked me into his tent.” Lindsay paused a moment before adding, “Deep people sort of turn me on too.” They walked in silence for a little while, before she said, “Wow, I might be pretty busy for a while, juggling you two deep guys around.” “I can take being juggled,” Kyle said. “It worries me more that sometimes the objects being juggled get dropped.” “I'll try to concentrate on my juggling, and keep a good grip on things,” Lindsay said, putting her head on Kyle's shoulder. As his girlfriend had predicted earlier, by being open to cultural nuances and meeting new people he had learned a few things and had an interesting experience. He wondered how it would all play out in the future. By Loveangames69 for Literotica

Passion at the Camp Meeting - The Joy of Nymphomania. The revelation of Koinonia. (erotic coupling) By Loveangames69.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It was an impressive country estate, twenty-some acres with an expansive board fence around much of it to keep the horses in. A long gravel driveway led through woods and pasture to a large stone house with vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams that could be the set for a BBC drama. Instead, it was the center of a religious camp meeting, and impressed as Kyle was by the setting, he was asking himself what the hell he was doing there. Dave, a friend, had recently become absorbed with an obscure middle eastern religion that apparently had adherents in high places, and they had opened their estate to missionary efforts designed to increase the numbers of the faithful. Doing his bit for the cause, Dave had invited several friends, including Kyle and his girlfriend Lindsay to a weekend of camping, music, social interaction, barbecue and hours of boring religious indoctrination. [[MORE]] Kyle and Lindsay arrived early Friday afternoon and found a nice spot by a small stream to set up their small cabin tent. They joined Dave walking around a series of exhibits with religious displays, pictures and literature handed out by gurus who seemed tuned into ultimate truth on a higher spiritual plane. Most members of the order were dressed in normal casual wear, although some were decked out in saffron robes and gold-colored necklaces and amulets. There were some decent flute players and tambourine shakers, but nothing to attract agents looking for the next Springsteen. The tour led into the impressive house, where Dave introduced Lindsay and Kyle to its owners, a pleasant middle-aged couple who had serene smiles painted on their faces, and then to another of his friends, Paul, who he had known from college. Paul was rather quiet, not contributing much to the conversation. Already converted, perhaps? They all attended a lecture by one of the high preachers of the order, whose resonate voice and elaborate hand gestures failed to draw Kyle into appreciation of the doctrine being espoused. Instead, his eyes rolled and wandered around the large room serving as lecture hall, taking in its exposed beams, drapes, overstuffed leather chairs and sofas and sculpted walnut tables. The magnificence was cheapened, he mused, by rows of cheap metal chairs squeezed in to accommodate the audience. More propaganda talks followed an evening barbecue on the stone patio. Kyle tried but failed to understand the attraction this sect had for Dave. His friend had enjoyed a rather wild and libertine lifestyle in college – lots of booze and women. Perhaps Dave was looking for more in life as he got older, or maybe just for “more” from an attractive blonde adherent of the order who had introduced him to it. Anyway, by the time the evening schedule had been completed, Kyle was thinking he had made a serious mistake in accepting this invitation and was wasting a weekend. He expressed that foreboding to Lindsay and silent Paul around a campfire singalong featuring religious themes in Persian folk music. As Dave mouthed verses in harmony with the faithful, Paul revealed he was not a convert, admitting he had similar reservations about the doctrine, but added that he questioned most other doctrines as well. He was just taking in the atmosphere, he said. Lindsay nodded. “Look upon it as an introduction into a different culture,” she said. “Talk to a few people of the different persuasion. You may not convert, but you might learn a few things and have an interesting experience.” Kyle's tall, dark haired, shapely girlfriend with the deep brown eyes was an open-minded sort, and he had learned a lot from her, both intellectual and sensual. Paul was also looking at Lindsay with a serious expression, appraising her words, or maybe appraising her. Soon, even the open-minded had enough, and they returned to the camping area. Night had set in, and Kyle held a light while Paul set up his small dome tent a short distance away, then started a fire. The three of them sat around it for a while. As earlier, Paul was not a great conversationalist, although when he did say something, it was interesting. He had been deployed with the armed forces in the Middle East, and been involved in some traumatic situations, which he was reluctant to go into detail on. Now discharged, he was readjusting to civilian life, trying to figure out what to do, he told them. Lindsay looked sympathetic Not too far away was a large cabin tent. Three males and a female of college age were milling about, throwing wood into a ring for a campfire. The girl was good looking, medium length blonde hair, blue eyes, nice body which showed off well in shorts and tight blouse. She seemed high spirited, and from what Kyle could hear, had a vocabulary that did not seem in line with staid religious doctrine. Next morning, Kyle and Lindsay invited Paul to ride with them to a nearby cafe for breakfast. They were in a booth when a young woman approached and asked if she could join them. Kyle recognized her as the one at the neighboring tent. She sat down on Paul's side. “I saw you out at the mansion,” she stated. “Thought we should get acquainted. I'm Joy.” After full introductions were completed, Kyle warned Joy, “We're just visiting here at the invitation of a friend. We're apostates, except maybe for Lindsay, who hasn't decided yet if this particular god is dead, or only has a bad flu.” Joy smiled. “I kind of figured that. You guys didn't look to me like you were chanting or going hallelujah at those boring talks last night.” “So you're not one of the faithful either,” Kyle said, returning the smile. “No, in fact I'm really bummed,” she said. “One of my classmates at State invited me. He said he and two other guys were going to a group camp-out, and they really wanted me to join them. He was so intense, I thought it was gonna be a love-in or something.” Lindsay snickered. “Bunking in a tent with three guys – that could sound like an invitation to something other than a religious revival.” “Yeah, I thought I might have difficulty walking by the time I got back, but all they've been doing is trying to save my soul. They have their noses in the scriptures rather than around my pussy. I can't interest any of them in taking a sniff.” Kyle felt a stirring in his groin. “What is wrong with the male congregation around here,” he asked rhetorically. “Well, maybe you'll just have to convert.” “No way. I can't get interested. I like to fuck too much.” Joy said it with a smile, but also as a simple statement of fact, no humor intended. “If anything, I'm going to convert some of the guys around here to my philosophy – sex is a higher calling than any religion; fucking is the closest we're ever going to get to divine love.” Kyle's eyes bugged out, as he smiled broadly at this girl's candor, also feeling more of a stir between his legs. Through the corner of his eye he saw Lindsay put a hand to her mouth, her eyes wrinkling in amusement. Paul's expression was placid, with no noticeable change. He took a drink of his coffee. The conversation continued; the subject matter just as provocative. Joy was voluble and animated, talking about places she had been and guys she had been there with. One detailed account was of a sailing trip with a boyfriend, during which she had sex with the captain and one of the crew as well. Kyle was curious if this nymph was really hot to trot or just all talk. It would be a shame not to find out, he decided, as she looked delicious. He and Lindsay had an “open” relationship. In the three years they had been living together, they had not gone actively looking for new people to spice things up but did take the bait a couple of times when someone cast a line in their direction. Nor did either of them try to dissuade the other from netting an interesting catch. Back at camp, as they prepared to endure the day's spiritual propaganda, Kyle told Lindsay of his attraction to Joy. “I got that vibe from you,” Lindsay said, taking his arm. “But maybe you should check with Paul before you start out hunting. He's here all alone, and my intuition tells me the poor guy is lonely. He might be able to use a pick-me-up, and after all you already have such recourse if you need it.” She batted her eyes. She was right, although Kyle really preferred to seek his own enlightenment with Joy and did not feel overly altruistic when he went to Paul's tent, just mentioning offhand that the girl might be a nice choice to brighten up the weekend. Fortunately, Paul was not greatly interested in Joy. “She came on to me at the restaurant when you went to pay the bill, and I told her I'd think about it, but frankly, she's like the B-girls around the base, not out for anything more than money and a stiff dick. Nothing against sex, but I'm trying to find a woman with more than just hormones – one with some depth and substance.” Kyle reported that conversation to Lindsay. She looked thoughtful for a moment, then said lightly, “Go ahead and try to scratch your itch. I'm cool to hang with Dave and Paul at today's agenda.” They walked over to the proceedings. Kyle told Lindsay he was going to scout around “for something interesting,” and she smiled knowingly. He soon spotted Joy at a lecture. Her companions, the three guys, were listening attentively to the speaker. Joy looked completely bored. He walked over and took an empty chair next to her. “I've been thinking about what you said during breakfast about your philosophical convictions. If you're bored, maybe we can find something more stimulating around here,” he whispered, with a suggestive smile. “I think we should,” she responded with a coy look, and rising from her chair, told her friends, “I'm going with this potential convert to see if I can develop his inspiration into something solid.” They looked a little confused but smiled their blessing and uttered some Persian phrase for “see you later,” before renewing their concentration on the lecture. “It may be a challenge converting those guys to your ecclesiastical views,” Kyle said, as they walked away. “Lost cause,” Joy agreed. “But this weekend may turn out good after all. I may not get three guys at once to play with, but maybe it's not a total loss. So, tell me, what do you have in mind and where do you want to do it?” she asked with a grin, taking my arm. “I think you should take the lead in this endeavor. I'm open to any guidance. As for location, we could strip to our souls and start in my tent near the stream of living water.” “Oh, I'm getting wet just thinking about it,” she responded, skipping a little, her loose blouse bouncing a little in the strategic location. We picked up our pace. “I guess your friends Paul and Lindsay aren't joining in,” she said, sounding a little disappointed. “No, they're still reviewing that rival theology, but gave their blessing to our endeavor.” “Does Lindsay fuck both you guys?” A direct question, for sure. “No. She and I live together. Actually, we just met Paul yesterday.” “I was hoping he might join in too. I get excited in a crowd, and you guys both look like studs. But you'll do by yourself if you can keep up the energy. Guys say I'm very demanding.” “I'll do my best for you, Joy.” Do my best to enjoy Joy, Kyle thought, an erection well under way. They reached the tent. Kyle unzipped the door, and they went in. Fortunately, it was shaded by a large oak, so not too hot inside. There was no need for preliminaries. Joy quickly pulled her blouse over her head, her well-formed braless boobs jiggling a little, and slid down her shorts and panties. She had a nicely sculpted bush, Kyle noticed. He took off his own t-shirt, at the same time she pulled down his lined shorts. His dick was already semi-hard from anticipation. “Let's pump it up a little,"Joy said, taking hold of it, and giving a few yanks. It quickly responded. She sank to her knees before it, and he had an impression of a high priestess worshiping a phallic image. "I love these things,” she said, licking up and down it enthusiastically. “It appears you've studied the liturgy. How many such icons have you had?” Kyle asked. ‘Oh, I don't know. I lost count. Maybe over a hundred by now. I just turned 19. I've been fucking for a while. Really picked up speed my freshman year. It would probably be advisable to wear a condom, Kyle thought. Joy enthusiastically sucked his cock. He was enjoying it, but slowed her down so he did not lose control. He thought about returning the oral favor but was hesitant, thinking about what might have been left by some of those hundred-plus cocks that been in there before him. She solved the dilemma, coming off him and lying down on the sleeping bags, spreading her legs widely. “Come into me, Kyle. I need a good, hard fucking from a big dick.” He quickly complied, dropping between her legs and poising his erection at her entrance. He was about to stick it in before remembering the condom, quickly retrieving his wallet and taking out the little package. He tore it open. “Oh, let me. I like doing this,” Joy said, taking the little vinyl ring from him, and rolling it down his stiff cock. “Now, come in.” He inserted the tip in. There was very little resistance, and he pushed a little deeper, quickly sliding all the way in, pubes meshing against pubes, and started thrusting. Joy had her eyes wide open and was encouraging him with cries like “good fucking cock, deeper, stop there, go round and round, kiss the sides.” Kyle remembered her saying she had received complaints that she was demanding. “Wait a minute. Let's change positions,” she said. She rose and told him to lie on his back. He did and she straddled him, taking his dick in hand and guiding it back into her. She rode him vigorously for a minute or so, then dropped her torso for some boobs-to-boobs contact between their chests. Her boobs were firm the nipples at attention, he noted happily, as she began twerking with her butt, controlling the rhythm of the fuck, her vagina almost expelling his dick, then reclaiming it with vigor. Damn, but the girl is enthusiastic, Kyle thought. A short while later Joy directed another change, coming off him and assuming the position for doggie style. He entered her again. She dropped her head so one cheek was lying on the sleeping bags, her butt high as Kyle thrust in and out. “Oh, yes, this is my favorite – your dick is just the right size, shape and length for this,” she said. “Fuck me. Harder.” He did so for several minutes more. She urged him to slow down or speed up occasionally, but for the most part just made happy little moaning sounds. Kyle lost track of how long they fucked, going into a sort of mechanical zen state of pleasure. Joy brought him out of it eventually when she began making grunting sounds mixed in with dirty talk. “Hear that dick sliding in and out, hear the sounds it's making, like spitting and slurping. Now it's like a suction cup. Hear your thighs bounding off my ass, or is that your big ball sack bouncing around between your legs, slapping me just below my cunt as you come in. Oh, that dick is so big and powerful. It's one of the best I've ever had. I wish I could take it home. It's better than any dildo.” All that talk had the predictable effect. “I'm going to cum,” Kyle announced, and he did with a loud grunt or two. “Keep going, you fuck! Keep going. I'm almost there,” Joy yelled. He valiantly complied, willing himself to stay hard, and she screamed so loud he was sure it could be heard at the mansion house and the cops would be called to investigate. He slowed his pace as her screams died down, finally ceasing. He remained inside her for another minute or so, then leaned back, his dick popping out with a final suctioning sound, and collapsed on his back next to her. She dropped down on her stomach, her face turned to the side, smiling at him. She. was soaked in sweat, as was he. “You are one good fucking man,” she said. “That was better by far than my three friends could have done if they took turns on the best day of their lives. I'm rating your dick in my top ten.” “Thanks,” Kyle said. “You were good too. Your experience shows.” They lay there a while, recovering energy. Finally, Kyle took off his condom and tied it against spillage, putting it in the trash. He opened the tent flap and peered out. Seeing no one around, he suggested they take a dip in the brook to wash off the sweat. Gathering their clothes, they picked a location on the stream bank shielded by bushes in case anyone should come walking that way, entered the water and splashed around. Joy took his now flaccid cock and scrubbed it with her cupped hand. Sitting on the grass in the sun, drying off, Joy rattled on about how great a fuck it was and how good Kyle's dick was, then began reminiscing about guys she had fucked, in what positions, with details about the sizes and shapes of their cocks and how long they went. “The largest dick I've had was a foot long, but it wasn't as good as a fat eight-incher belonging to one of my instructors. He gave me an A in the course even though I flunked most of the tests,” she said, laughing. “The smallest dick I've had was barely five inches, but it wasn't too much of a disappointment because it made contact with my G-spot.” It was only a little after noon, and Kyle wondered what to do now with this nymphomaniac, finally proposing they eat at the food court and take a drive somewhere, “maybe even into the city. There's a lot to see and do there – parks, art galleries, museums, …” “Let's do that,” Joy said excitedly. There's a museum I've wanted to see for some time.“ So she did have some interest in cultural things, not only fucking, he thought. They drove to the city, bucolic countryside giving way to strip malls and urbanization on increasingly busy roads. There was not much new conversation of a memorable nature, just more on the "fucktastic sex” they had just experienced, which jogged her memory anew on “sexsational times” with other lovers, exotic positions, almost getting “busted” by her parents, etc. Once she had fucked two cops in their patrol car so they would not write her up for reckless driving. Looking at her phone occasionally, she gave Kyle directions on how to get to the museum, which she did not name. “Saving it as a surprise,” she said. “It has a lot about my favorite subject.” So it was not a great surprise when they eventually arrived at the “Museum of Sex” in a rather tacky art deco building on a side street in a questionable neighborhood. Kyle paid the admission charge. They were given a guide to 15,000 items on display, including an antique vibrator, a dildo resembling Chiquita Banana and a Braille issue of Playboy Magazine. Also, several accessories used for “enhancing pleasure or pain.” A museum highlight was the “Erotic Carnival” – a sort of fun house entered through a design resembling giant pussie lips. Once inside, patrons could roll skee-balls into rings and pull at plastic penises that projected through a wall, which if done right earned tokens to feed into small viewing booths that featured “a curated selection of cinematic and music video compilations and experimental films.” The tokens were also good for “discounts” at a gift shop that sold the cinematic delights along with authentic replicas of historical erotic artworks and the other museum items on display. Joy did well in the carnival, and put serious contemplation into the gift shop, figuring how to use her discounts. At one point she grabbed Kyle and said her earlier fantasy was possible. She virtually begged him to give her a “Favorite Member Remembrance” item, promoted as a means to “renew the pleasure after the lover is only a fond memory.” But Kyle refused to stick his dick into a conveyance resembling a sausage grinder which would make a cast of his erection for use in manufacturing “a customized, one-of-a-kind dildo out of the finest latex.” “Who knows how many other dicks have been stuck into there, and what they might have been carrying,” he told her. “But they say they sterilize the mold after each cast,” Joy said. “Pick something else.” Joy settled for a novel “French Tickler” dildo and a video on the Kama Sutra. Since her discounts did not come close to covering the cost, Kyle paid for them as a present. Joy bubbled over, recounting the sex “museum” in detail on the drive back. She took Kyle's present out of the bag, pulled down her shorts and exercised herself with it, emitting appropriate vocals. “Oh, pull over there,” she said at a cleared area along the side of a rural road. He did so, figuring she had to pee. Instead, she reached inside his shorts and began fondling him. “I want to play with the real thing again,” she said. Kyle was no longer feeling sexual need, but still, when an attractive young blonde massages you, it is difficult to be apathetic, and he soon expanded. Joy extricated it from his shorts, and went down on him, slurping with abandon as she used her free hand to continue manipulating his present inside her. She was good, and in a few minutes he lost it. She took in what he had to give, gulping and swallowing, then licking him clean. Back at the religious camp meeting, Joy was so happy with how her day had gone that she insisted on taking Kyle into the tent for another round of passion. Stripping and lying down, she resumed putting Kyle's gift to work immediately, plunging it in and out to warm herself up, directing Kyle to “hurry up.” He was actually feeling sated by this point, but she was so insistent that he disrobed, managed to get it up again, with some vigorous ministrations from Joy, and donned a condom. He exercised her missionary style for a while, but she wanted it doggie and then to ride him. As earlier, Joy was very enthusiastic, overusing her vaginal muscles, which pained him so that Kyle had to urge her to lighten up. He managed to get her off rather quickly by furiously manipulating her clit as she rapidly bounced on him, and as Joy's screams faded he managed his own orgasm. It was his third time, in only five or six hours, and he had never been so glad to stop sex. There had been just too much of a good thing this day – in person and vicariously, with extensive commentary by Joy the entire time. For the first time, he truly realized the significance of the words “insatiable” and “superfluous.” There was some rare silence as Joy came down from her sexual high, during which they could hear a man and a woman vocalizing nearby – grunts and moans – and vinyl material being thrashed. Could it be the walls of Paul's small tent nearby? Kyle heard Lindsay's voice cry out, “Wonderful, just like that, oh so good,” and a low male voice respond with something inarticulate. There were further exclamations and sounds of abused tent fabric. “So, you guys only just met Paul,” Joy said. “Sounds like Lindsay is getting to know him fast.” She lifted a leg and rose off of Kyle, plumping down alongside him. He saw that his dick had shrunk rapidly and took the condom off before it fell of its own accord. He tied it, but there was not much content, which Joy noticed. “You were no flow this time.” she said. “Want to do it once more? Those sounds next door are getting me stoked again.” “I'm not in the mood,” Kyle said, feeling panic at the thought of another exercise with the insatiable Joy, and also a little unnerved at what was apparently going on in the adjacent tent. He had not expected Lindsay and silent Paul to get the hots for one another. “Let's get dressed. I'll help you find your friends,” he told Joy. She seemed reluctant, and to be actually enjoying the close vocalizations, but complied. As they exited the tent, it was evident that Paul's shelter was indeed vibrating from movement inside. Lindsay cried out her enjoyment again. No one was at the tent occupied by Joy's friends, and she did not want to stay there by herself, so Kyle walked with her toward the main house. Before they were out of sight, he looked over at Paul's tent and could see the fabric continuing to move. They found Joy's friends at a lecture. Kyle gave her a little hug, saying it had been an interesting day, and wished her well. She threw her arms around him, and kissed with tongue while grinding up against him. The lecturer paused momentarily, probably in shock at the non-theological sight, Kyle thought. He left the house and seeing his friend Dave, walked over to the patio. Dave was alone, chanting some religious litany from a book, pausing when he noticed Kyle. “I didn't see you around much today,” he said. “Yeah, I got involved in activities with another guest.” Dave smiled. “I did see you with a guest, so I think I know who you mean. Well there's all sort of enlightenment. I hope yours was edifying, or at least enjoyable.” “Definitely a lot of Joy,” Kyle responded. “Lindsay and Paul came to a lot of our events,” Dave said. “They seemed to be getting more into it.” “Yes, Paul is especially into it at present,” Kyle acknowledged, dryly. “Lindsay getting it too.” The innuendos had not escaped Dave. “So you scored,” he said. “And if I'm reading you right, Paul did too. But with Lindsay? How does that sit with you?” “I'm not happy about it, but it's okay with me as long as it's okay with her,” Kyle shrugged. “I haven't talked with her about it yet.” “Well, if the conversation doesn't work out well and you need to talk, I'm around. My new faith has guidance in these situations, to go along with my own wisdom,” he said with a grin. Kyle walked back to the camping area, noticing that Paul's tent was no longer in motion. He went into his own shelter. Lindsay was there, sitting on the bedrolls. Her brow was sweaty, her hair disheveled and knotted. She was running a comb and brush through it. “Hi,” he said. “Hi,” she answered Silence reigned. “There's a bath house with showers over by the pool,” Kyle said, taking a towel and kit with soap and shampoo from his pack, along with new shorts and t-shirt. “I'm going over there.” “I'll go with you,” Lindsay said, rummaging through her pack for similar items. Conversation was muted as they walked toward the showers. Lindsay finally ventured into it. “Did you have a good time with Joy?” “It was interesting but overkill. It sounded to me like you and Paul were enjoying yourselves too.” “Yes, Paul is really sweet. And he needed a boost.” After a brief pause. “I'm going to see him again. We made tentative plans for next weekend.” “Oh?” “It doesn't bother you, right?” He shrugged. “You let me explore my curiosity, and I've never got in your way. We practice what we preach. If that's what you want, you should go and have a good time.” “How about Joy? Will you see her again?” “No, she has sex on the brain, with little else there. And my body can take only so much.” “I thought she might be a little too focused and energetic for you. So, you are not overjoyed with Joy.” Lindsay smiled and took Kyle's arm as they walked. “Actually, to mix metaphors and innuendos, I am not overjoyed about Paul, but am 'over Joy,' in both present and future tenses.” Lindsay smiled, squeezing his arm. “I wouldn't have thought that, judging by all the noise coming from the tent as Paul and I came back from the afternoon events.” “Too much noise. I like sexy women, but want one with more depth and sophistication, like the one I'm with now.” “Funny, that's almost exactly what Paul said to me as we listened to you and Joy. I kissed him, and he responded, and asked me into his tent.” Lindsay paused a moment before adding, “Deep people sort of turn me on too.” They walked in silence for a little while, before she said, “Wow, I might be pretty busy for a while, juggling you two deep guys around.” “I can take being juggled,” Kyle said. “It worries me more that sometimes the objects being juggled get dropped.” “I'll try to concentrate on my juggling, and keep a good grip on things,” Lindsay said, putting her head on Kyle's shoulder. As his girlfriend had predicted earlier, by being open to cultural nuances and meeting new people he had learned a few things and had an interesting experience. He wondered how it would all play out in the future. By Loveangames69 for Literotica

Passion at the Camp Meeting - The Joy of Nymphomania. The revelation of Koinonia. (erotic coupling) By Loveangames69.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It was an impressive country estate, twenty-some acres with an expansive board fence around much of it to keep the horses in. A long gravel driveway led through woods and pasture to a large stone house with vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams that could be the set for a BBC drama. Instead, it was the center of a religious camp meeting, and impressed as Kyle was by the setting, he was asking himself what the hell he was doing there. Dave, a friend, had recently become absorbed with an obscure middle eastern religion that apparently had adherents in high places, and they had opened their estate to missionary efforts designed to increase the numbers of the faithful. Doing his bit for the cause, Dave had invited several friends, including Kyle and his girlfriend Lindsay to a weekend of camping, music, social interaction, barbecue and hours of boring religious indoctrination. [[MORE]] Kyle and Lindsay arrived early Friday afternoon and found a nice spot by a small stream to set up their small cabin tent. They joined Dave walking around a series of exhibits with religious displays, pictures and literature handed out by gurus who seemed tuned into ultimate truth on a higher spiritual plane. Most members of the order were dressed in normal casual wear, although some were decked out in saffron robes and gold-colored necklaces and amulets. There were some decent flute players and tambourine shakers, but nothing to attract agents looking for the next Springsteen. The tour led into the impressive house, where Dave introduced Lindsay and Kyle to its owners, a pleasant middle-aged couple who had serene smiles painted on their faces, and then to another of his friends, Paul, who he had known from college. Paul was rather quiet, not contributing much to the conversation. Already converted, perhaps? They all attended a lecture by one of the high preachers of the order, whose resonate voice and elaborate hand gestures failed to draw Kyle into appreciation of the doctrine being espoused. Instead, his eyes rolled and wandered around the large room serving as lecture hall, taking in its exposed beams, drapes, overstuffed leather chairs and sofas and sculpted walnut tables. The magnificence was cheapened, he mused, by rows of cheap metal chairs squeezed in to accommodate the audience. More propaganda talks followed an evening barbecue on the stone patio. Kyle tried but failed to understand the attraction this sect had for Dave. His friend had enjoyed a rather wild and libertine lifestyle in college – lots of booze and women. Perhaps Dave was looking for more in life as he got older, or maybe just for “more” from an attractive blonde adherent of the order who had introduced him to it. Anyway, by the time the evening schedule had been completed, Kyle was thinking he had made a serious mistake in accepting this invitation and was wasting a weekend. He expressed that foreboding to Lindsay and silent Paul around a campfire singalong featuring religious themes in Persian folk music. As Dave mouthed verses in harmony with the faithful, Paul revealed he was not a convert, admitting he had similar reservations about the doctrine, but added that he questioned most other doctrines as well. He was just taking in the atmosphere, he said. Lindsay nodded. “Look upon it as an introduction into a different culture,” she said. “Talk to a few people of the different persuasion. You may not convert, but you might learn a few things and have an interesting experience.” Kyle's tall, dark haired, shapely girlfriend with the deep brown eyes was an open-minded sort, and he had learned a lot from her, both intellectual and sensual. Paul was also looking at Lindsay with a serious expression, appraising her words, or maybe appraising her. Soon, even the open-minded had enough, and they returned to the camping area. Night had set in, and Kyle held a light while Paul set up his small dome tent a short distance away, then started a fire. The three of them sat around it for a while. As earlier, Paul was not a great conversationalist, although when he did say something, it was interesting. He had been deployed with the armed forces in the Middle East, and been involved in some traumatic situations, which he was reluctant to go into detail on. Now discharged, he was readjusting to civilian life, trying to figure out what to do, he told them. Lindsay looked sympathetic Not too far away was a large cabin tent. Three males and a female of college age were milling about, throwing wood into a ring for a campfire. The girl was good looking, medium length blonde hair, blue eyes, nice body which showed off well in shorts and tight blouse. She seemed high spirited, and from what Kyle could hear, had a vocabulary that did not seem in line with staid religious doctrine. Next morning, Kyle and Lindsay invited Paul to ride with them to a nearby cafe for breakfast. They were in a booth when a young woman approached and asked if she could join them. Kyle recognized her as the one at the neighboring tent. She sat down on Paul's side. “I saw you out at the mansion,” she stated. “Thought we should get acquainted. I'm Joy.” After full introductions were completed, Kyle warned Joy, “We're just visiting here at the invitation of a friend. We're apostates, except maybe for Lindsay, who hasn't decided yet if this particular god is dead, or only has a bad flu.” Joy smiled. “I kind of figured that. You guys didn't look to me like you were chanting or going hallelujah at those boring talks last night.” “So you're not one of the faithful either,” Kyle said, returning the smile. “No, in fact I'm really bummed,” she said. “One of my classmates at State invited me. He said he and two other guys were going to a group camp-out, and they really wanted me to join them. He was so intense, I thought it was gonna be a love-in or something.” Lindsay snickered. “Bunking in a tent with three guys – that could sound like an invitation to something other than a religious revival.” “Yeah, I thought I might have difficulty walking by the time I got back, but all they've been doing is trying to save my soul. They have their noses in the scriptures rather than around my pussy. I can't interest any of them in taking a sniff.” Kyle felt a stirring in his groin. “What is wrong with the male congregation around here,” he asked rhetorically. “Well, maybe you'll just have to convert.” “No way. I can't get interested. I like to fuck too much.” Joy said it with a smile, but also as a simple statement of fact, no humor intended. “If anything, I'm going to convert some of the guys around here to my philosophy – sex is a higher calling than any religion; fucking is the closest we're ever going to get to divine love.” Kyle's eyes bugged out, as he smiled broadly at this girl's candor, also feeling more of a stir between his legs. Through the corner of his eye he saw Lindsay put a hand to her mouth, her eyes wrinkling in amusement. Paul's expression was placid, with no noticeable change. He took a drink of his coffee. The conversation continued; the subject matter just as provocative. Joy was voluble and animated, talking about places she had been and guys she had been there with. One detailed account was of a sailing trip with a boyfriend, during which she had sex with the captain and one of the crew as well. Kyle was curious if this nymph was really hot to trot or just all talk. It would be a shame not to find out, he decided, as she looked delicious. He and Lindsay had an “open” relationship. In the three years they had been living together, they had not gone actively looking for new people to spice things up but did take the bait a couple of times when someone cast a line in their direction. Nor did either of them try to dissuade the other from netting an interesting catch. Back at camp, as they prepared to endure the day's spiritual propaganda, Kyle told Lindsay of his attraction to Joy. “I got that vibe from you,” Lindsay said, taking his arm. “But maybe you should check with Paul before you start out hunting. He's here all alone, and my intuition tells me the poor guy is lonely. He might be able to use a pick-me-up, and after all you already have such recourse if you need it.” She batted her eyes. She was right, although Kyle really preferred to seek his own enlightenment with Joy and did not feel overly altruistic when he went to Paul's tent, just mentioning offhand that the girl might be a nice choice to brighten up the weekend. Fortunately, Paul was not greatly interested in Joy. “She came on to me at the restaurant when you went to pay the bill, and I told her I'd think about it, but frankly, she's like the B-girls around the base, not out for anything more than money and a stiff dick. Nothing against sex, but I'm trying to find a woman with more than just hormones – one with some depth and substance.” Kyle reported that conversation to Lindsay. She looked thoughtful for a moment, then said lightly, “Go ahead and try to scratch your itch. I'm cool to hang with Dave and Paul at today's agenda.” They walked over to the proceedings. Kyle told Lindsay he was going to scout around “for something interesting,” and she smiled knowingly. He soon spotted Joy at a lecture. Her companions, the three guys, were listening attentively to the speaker. Joy looked completely bored. He walked over and took an empty chair next to her. “I've been thinking about what you said during breakfast about your philosophical convictions. If you're bored, maybe we can find something more stimulating around here,” he whispered, with a suggestive smile. “I think we should,” she responded with a coy look, and rising from her chair, told her friends, “I'm going with this potential convert to see if I can develop his inspiration into something solid.” They looked a little confused but smiled their blessing and uttered some Persian phrase for “see you later,” before renewing their concentration on the lecture. “It may be a challenge converting those guys to your ecclesiastical views,” Kyle said, as they walked away. “Lost cause,” Joy agreed. “But this weekend may turn out good after all. I may not get three guys at once to play with, but maybe it's not a total loss. So, tell me, what do you have in mind and where do you want to do it?” she asked with a grin, taking my arm. “I think you should take the lead in this endeavor. I'm open to any guidance. As for location, we could strip to our souls and start in my tent near the stream of living water.” “Oh, I'm getting wet just thinking about it,” she responded, skipping a little, her loose blouse bouncing a little in the strategic location. We picked up our pace. “I guess your friends Paul and Lindsay aren't joining in,” she said, sounding a little disappointed. “No, they're still reviewing that rival theology, but gave their blessing to our endeavor.” “Does Lindsay fuck both you guys?” A direct question, for sure. “No. She and I live together. Actually, we just met Paul yesterday.” “I was hoping he might join in too. I get excited in a crowd, and you guys both look like studs. But you'll do by yourself if you can keep up the energy. Guys say I'm very demanding.” “I'll do my best for you, Joy.” Do my best to enjoy Joy, Kyle thought, an erection well under way. They reached the tent. Kyle unzipped the door, and they went in. Fortunately, it was shaded by a large oak, so not too hot inside. There was no need for preliminaries. Joy quickly pulled her blouse over her head, her well-formed braless boobs jiggling a little, and slid down her shorts and panties. She had a nicely sculpted bush, Kyle noticed. He took off his own t-shirt, at the same time she pulled down his lined shorts. His dick was already semi-hard from anticipation. “Let's pump it up a little,"Joy said, taking hold of it, and giving a few yanks. It quickly responded. She sank to her knees before it, and he had an impression of a high priestess worshiping a phallic image. "I love these things,” she said, licking up and down it enthusiastically. “It appears you've studied the liturgy. How many such icons have you had?” Kyle asked. ‘Oh, I don't know. I lost count. Maybe over a hundred by now. I just turned 19. I've been fucking for a while. Really picked up speed my freshman year. It would probably be advisable to wear a condom, Kyle thought. Joy enthusiastically sucked his cock. He was enjoying it, but slowed her down so he did not lose control. He thought about returning the oral favor but was hesitant, thinking about what might have been left by some of those hundred-plus cocks that been in there before him. She solved the dilemma, coming off him and lying down on the sleeping bags, spreading her legs widely. “Come into me, Kyle. I need a good, hard fucking from a big dick.” He quickly complied, dropping between her legs and poising his erection at her entrance. He was about to stick it in before remembering the condom, quickly retrieving his wallet and taking out the little package. He tore it open. “Oh, let me. I like doing this,” Joy said, taking the little vinyl ring from him, and rolling it down his stiff cock. “Now, come in.” He inserted the tip in. There was very little resistance, and he pushed a little deeper, quickly sliding all the way in, pubes meshing against pubes, and started thrusting. Joy had her eyes wide open and was encouraging him with cries like “good fucking cock, deeper, stop there, go round and round, kiss the sides.” Kyle remembered her saying she had received complaints that she was demanding. “Wait a minute. Let's change positions,” she said. She rose and told him to lie on his back. He did and she straddled him, taking his dick in hand and guiding it back into her. She rode him vigorously for a minute or so, then dropped her torso for some boobs-to-boobs contact between their chests. Her boobs were firm the nipples at attention, he noted happily, as she began twerking with her butt, controlling the rhythm of the fuck, her vagina almost expelling his dick, then reclaiming it with vigor. Damn, but the girl is enthusiastic, Kyle thought. A short while later Joy directed another change, coming off him and assuming the position for doggie style. He entered her again. She dropped her head so one cheek was lying on the sleeping bags, her butt high as Kyle thrust in and out. “Oh, yes, this is my favorite – your dick is just the right size, shape and length for this,” she said. “Fuck me. Harder.” He did so for several minutes more. She urged him to slow down or speed up occasionally, but for the most part just made happy little moaning sounds. Kyle lost track of how long they fucked, going into a sort of mechanical zen state of pleasure. Joy brought him out of it eventually when she began making grunting sounds mixed in with dirty talk. “Hear that dick sliding in and out, hear the sounds it's making, like spitting and slurping. Now it's like a suction cup. Hear your thighs bounding off my ass, or is that your big ball sack bouncing around between your legs, slapping me just below my cunt as you come in. Oh, that dick is so big and powerful. It's one of the best I've ever had. I wish I could take it home. It's better than any dildo.” All that talk had the predictable effect. “I'm going to cum,” Kyle announced, and he did with a loud grunt or two. “Keep going, you fuck! Keep going. I'm almost there,” Joy yelled. He valiantly complied, willing himself to stay hard, and she screamed so loud he was sure it could be heard at the mansion house and the cops would be called to investigate. He slowed his pace as her screams died down, finally ceasing. He remained inside her for another minute or so, then leaned back, his dick popping out with a final suctioning sound, and collapsed on his back next to her. She dropped down on her stomach, her face turned to the side, smiling at him. She. was soaked in sweat, as was he. “You are one good fucking man,” she said. “That was better by far than my three friends could have done if they took turns on the best day of their lives. I'm rating your dick in my top ten.” “Thanks,” Kyle said. “You were good too. Your experience shows.” They lay there a while, recovering energy. Finally, Kyle took off his condom and tied it against spillage, putting it in the trash. He opened the tent flap and peered out. Seeing no one around, he suggested they take a dip in the brook to wash off the sweat. Gathering their clothes, they picked a location on the stream bank shielded by bushes in case anyone should come walking that way, entered the water and splashed around. Joy took his now flaccid cock and scrubbed it with her cupped hand. Sitting on the grass in the sun, drying off, Joy rattled on about how great a fuck it was and how good Kyle's dick was, then began reminiscing about guys she had fucked, in what positions, with details about the sizes and shapes of their cocks and how long they went. “The largest dick I've had was a foot long, but it wasn't as good as a fat eight-incher belonging to one of my instructors. He gave me an A in the course even though I flunked most of the tests,” she said, laughing. “The smallest dick I've had was barely five inches, but it wasn't too much of a disappointment because it made contact with my G-spot.” It was only a little after noon, and Kyle wondered what to do now with this nymphomaniac, finally proposing they eat at the food court and take a drive somewhere, “maybe even into the city. There's a lot to see and do there – parks, art galleries, museums, …” “Let's do that,” Joy said excitedly. There's a museum I've wanted to see for some time.“ So she did have some interest in cultural things, not only fucking, he thought. They drove to the city, bucolic countryside giving way to strip malls and urbanization on increasingly busy roads. There was not much new conversation of a memorable nature, just more on the "fucktastic sex” they had just experienced, which jogged her memory anew on “sexsational times” with other lovers, exotic positions, almost getting “busted” by her parents, etc. Once she had fucked two cops in their patrol car so they would not write her up for reckless driving. Looking at her phone occasionally, she gave Kyle directions on how to get to the museum, which she did not name. “Saving it as a surprise,” she said. “It has a lot about my favorite subject.” So it was not a great surprise when they eventually arrived at the “Museum of Sex” in a rather tacky art deco building on a side street in a questionable neighborhood. Kyle paid the admission charge. They were given a guide to 15,000 items on display, including an antique vibrator, a dildo resembling Chiquita Banana and a Braille issue of Playboy Magazine. Also, several accessories used for “enhancing pleasure or pain.” A museum highlight was the “Erotic Carnival” – a sort of fun house entered through a design resembling giant pussie lips. Once inside, patrons could roll skee-balls into rings and pull at plastic penises that projected through a wall, which if done right earned tokens to feed into small viewing booths that featured “a curated selection of cinematic and music video compilations and experimental films.” The tokens were also good for “discounts” at a gift shop that sold the cinematic delights along with authentic replicas of historical erotic artworks and the other museum items on display. Joy did well in the carnival, and put serious contemplation into the gift shop, figuring how to use her discounts. At one point she grabbed Kyle and said her earlier fantasy was possible. She virtually begged him to give her a “Favorite Member Remembrance” item, promoted as a means to “renew the pleasure after the lover is only a fond memory.” But Kyle refused to stick his dick into a conveyance resembling a sausage grinder which would make a cast of his erection for use in manufacturing “a customized, one-of-a-kind dildo out of the finest latex.” “Who knows how many other dicks have been stuck into there, and what they might have been carrying,” he told her. “But they say they sterilize the mold after each cast,” Joy said. “Pick something else.” Joy settled for a novel “French Tickler” dildo and a video on the Kama Sutra. Since her discounts did not come close to covering the cost, Kyle paid for them as a present. Joy bubbled over, recounting the sex “museum” in detail on the drive back. She took Kyle's present out of the bag, pulled down her shorts and exercised herself with it, emitting appropriate vocals. “Oh, pull over there,” she said at a cleared area along the side of a rural road. He did so, figuring she had to pee. Instead, she reached inside his shorts and began fondling him. “I want to play with the real thing again,” she said. Kyle was no longer feeling sexual need, but still, when an attractive young blonde massages you, it is difficult to be apathetic, and he soon expanded. Joy extricated it from his shorts, and went down on him, slurping with abandon as she used her free hand to continue manipulating his present inside her. She was good, and in a few minutes he lost it. She took in what he had to give, gulping and swallowing, then licking him clean. Back at the religious camp meeting, Joy was so happy with how her day had gone that she insisted on taking Kyle into the tent for another round of passion. Stripping and lying down, she resumed putting Kyle's gift to work immediately, plunging it in and out to warm herself up, directing Kyle to “hurry up.” He was actually feeling sated by this point, but she was so insistent that he disrobed, managed to get it up again, with some vigorous ministrations from Joy, and donned a condom. He exercised her missionary style for a while, but she wanted it doggie and then to ride him. As earlier, Joy was very enthusiastic, overusing her vaginal muscles, which pained him so that Kyle had to urge her to lighten up. He managed to get her off rather quickly by furiously manipulating her clit as she rapidly bounced on him, and as Joy's screams faded he managed his own orgasm. It was his third time, in only five or six hours, and he had never been so glad to stop sex. There had been just too much of a good thing this day – in person and vicariously, with extensive commentary by Joy the entire time. For the first time, he truly realized the significance of the words “insatiable” and “superfluous.” There was some rare silence as Joy came down from her sexual high, during which they could hear a man and a woman vocalizing nearby – grunts and moans – and vinyl material being thrashed. Could it be the walls of Paul's small tent nearby? Kyle heard Lindsay's voice cry out, “Wonderful, just like that, oh so good,” and a low male voice respond with something inarticulate. There were further exclamations and sounds of abused tent fabric. “So, you guys only just met Paul,” Joy said. “Sounds like Lindsay is getting to know him fast.” She lifted a leg and rose off of Kyle, plumping down alongside him. He saw that his dick had shrunk rapidly and took the condom off before it fell of its own accord. He tied it, but there was not much content, which Joy noticed. “You were no flow this time.” she said. “Want to do it once more? Those sounds next door are getting me stoked again.” “I'm not in the mood,” Kyle said, feeling panic at the thought of another exercise with the insatiable Joy, and also a little unnerved at what was apparently going on in the adjacent tent. He had not expected Lindsay and silent Paul to get the hots for one another. “Let's get dressed. I'll help you find your friends,” he told Joy. She seemed reluctant, and to be actually enjoying the close vocalizations, but complied. As they exited the tent, it was evident that Paul's shelter was indeed vibrating from movement inside. Lindsay cried out her enjoyment again. No one was at the tent occupied by Joy's friends, and she did not want to stay there by herself, so Kyle walked with her toward the main house. Before they were out of sight, he looked over at Paul's tent and could see the fabric continuing to move. They found Joy's friends at a lecture. Kyle gave her a little hug, saying it had been an interesting day, and wished her well. She threw her arms around him, and kissed with tongue while grinding up against him. The lecturer paused momentarily, probably in shock at the non-theological sight, Kyle thought. He left the house and seeing his friend Dave, walked over to the patio. Dave was alone, chanting some religious litany from a book, pausing when he noticed Kyle. “I didn't see you around much today,” he said. “Yeah, I got involved in activities with another guest.” Dave smiled. “I did see you with a guest, so I think I know who you mean. Well there's all sort of enlightenment. I hope yours was edifying, or at least enjoyable.” “Definitely a lot of Joy,” Kyle responded. “Lindsay and Paul came to a lot of our events,” Dave said. “They seemed to be getting more into it.” “Yes, Paul is especially into it at present,” Kyle acknowledged, dryly. “Lindsay getting it too.” The innuendos had not escaped Dave. “So you scored,” he said. “And if I'm reading you right, Paul did too. But with Lindsay? How does that sit with you?” “I'm not happy about it, but it's okay with me as long as it's okay with her,” Kyle shrugged. “I haven't talked with her about it yet.” “Well, if the conversation doesn't work out well and you need to talk, I'm around. My new faith has guidance in these situations, to go along with my own wisdom,” he said with a grin. Kyle walked back to the camping area, noticing that Paul's tent was no longer in motion. He went into his own shelter. Lindsay was there, sitting on the bedrolls. Her brow was sweaty, her hair disheveled and knotted. She was running a comb and brush through it. “Hi,” he said. “Hi,” she answered Silence reigned. “There's a bath house with showers over by the pool,” Kyle said, taking a towel and kit with soap and shampoo from his pack, along with new shorts and t-shirt. “I'm going over there.” “I'll go with you,” Lindsay said, rummaging through her pack for similar items. Conversation was muted as they walked toward the showers. Lindsay finally ventured into it. “Did you have a good time with Joy?” “It was interesting but overkill. It sounded to me like you and Paul were enjoying yourselves too.” “Yes, Paul is really sweet. And he needed a boost.” After a brief pause. “I'm going to see him again. We made tentative plans for next weekend.” “Oh?” “It doesn't bother you, right?” He shrugged. “You let me explore my curiosity, and I've never got in your way. We practice what we preach. If that's what you want, you should go and have a good time.” “How about Joy? Will you see her again?” “No, she has sex on the brain, with little else there. And my body can take only so much.” “I thought she might be a little too focused and energetic for you. So, you are not overjoyed with Joy.” Lindsay smiled and took Kyle's arm as they walked. “Actually, to mix metaphors and innuendos, I am not overjoyed about Paul, but am 'over Joy,' in both present and future tenses.” Lindsay smiled, squeezing his arm. “I wouldn't have thought that, judging by all the noise coming from the tent as Paul and I came back from the afternoon events.” “Too much noise. I like sexy women, but want one with more depth and sophistication, like the one I'm with now.” “Funny, that's almost exactly what Paul said to me as we listened to you and Joy. I kissed him, and he responded, and asked me into his tent.” Lindsay paused a moment before adding, “Deep people sort of turn me on too.” They walked in silence for a little while, before she said, “Wow, I might be pretty busy for a while, juggling you two deep guys around.” “I can take being juggled,” Kyle said. “It worries me more that sometimes the objects being juggled get dropped.” “I'll try to concentrate on my juggling, and keep a good grip on things,” Lindsay said, putting her head on Kyle's shoulder. As his girlfriend had predicted earlier, by being open to cultural nuances and meeting new people he had learned a few things and had an interesting experience. He wondered how it would all play out in the future. By Loveangames69 for Literotica

In a landmark legal case, Chiquita Banana was convicted by a federal court in Florida of funding a paramilitary death squad, the United Self Defense Force of Colombia (AUC in Spanish), in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The AUC murdered thousands of workers and used Chiquita ports and boats to move cocaine and weapons. This is the first time a US corporation has been held accountable for committing human rights abuses in another country. Clearing the FOG spoke with Professor Terry Karl, who was an expert in the case, about what happened, how Chiquita will now work to cover up its misdeeds and the impact this case will have.

The protesters outside the event were condemned as antisemitic by all the usual people — including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. New investigative reporting from Lee Fang, collaborating with The Guardian, has turned up documents that detail the Israeli government's public relations campaign aimed at the US designed to facilitate “mass consciousness activities”.Sounds pretty terrible.

On June 10, the jury reached a verdict in the federal trial against Chiquita Banana. It found that the company had financed a paramilitary group in Colombia in the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in the deaths of eight men, and it awarded the victims' families $38 million in damages. It's the culmination of a 17-year-long multi-district litigation that had faced significant procedural, evidentiary, and legal challenges. And it may represent a new frontier in the fight to hold corporations legally accountable for human rights violations.Executive Editor Natalie Orpett discussed the case and its implications with Michael Posner, Director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

He has started several ecological communities in Costa Rica and is launching the Ecoversity.   In this podcast, Stephen talks about the influence the design of his childhood neighborhood had on him at a young age, the importance of permaculture on his life's work, and the ecological neighborhoods he is creating in Costa Rica. The Educate Inspire Change Takeaway:   “How can we be able to sleep at night knowing that we’re supporting industries that are so destructive and sad?”   “Permaculture really is the empowerment and the confidence and the toolkit to realize wait a minute, we have a say. We can do things differently. We can become resilient.”   2:40: Stephen talks about his childhood and how the physical design of his neighborhood fostered community.   4:30: Stephen shares the memory of the first time he visited Costa Rica and witnessing a playground full of indegenous children get sprayed by Chiquita Banana crop duster, and how this experience “jolted” him awake on an environmental and social level.   12:28: Stephen says that Punta Mona taught the first permaculture classes in Costa Rica and expands on the meaning of the word, and that it’s not an agricultural system but an ecological design philosophy.   16:20: Kash asks Stephen if he sees what he is doing happening anywhere else in the world, and Stephen shares an “epic story” that a friend told him that gives him faith that this is happening all over.    19:50: Stephen describes his experience with psychedelics and how they have helped him grow and engage with the world around him, and his worry that people can overuse psychedelics before processing their experiences.   25:40: Stephen explains the ecological neighborhoods he has been building in Costa Rica and his efforts to merge agriculture, education, community design, and events into 1,000 hectares of space at a time through radically reforesting and regenerating the land.   33:31: Stephen talks about the importance of training people to recreate communities and break free from current societal structures, and how permaculture teaches us to become intentional and efficient, which helps individuals redesign aspects of reality.  List of Resources -https://www.puntamona.org - Punta Mona -https://www.ecoversity.org - Ecoversity  -https://www.envisionfestival.com - Envision Festival -https://maps.org - Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) -https://www.instagram.com/puntamona/ - Punta Mona Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/envisionfestival/ - Envision Festival Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/alegriavillage/  - Alegria Village Instagram Guest Contact Info -https://www.facebook.com/Puntamona - Facebook -https://www.instagram.com/stephenrbrooks/?hl=en - Instagram  Sponsors: EcoLife Supplements  This podcast is proudly supported by EcoLife Supplements, Rythmia Life Advancement Center and our very own Psychedelic Documentary series PANTERA   Whilst in Costa Rica last year I came across a guy by the name of Anthony Walsh who handed me a bottle of hemp extract CBD oil and after just taking a few drops I was sold.

What You'll Hear: Ron grew up very poor.  His parents were aged 14 and 15 when they got married Their landlord Mr. Countryman, farmer, invited his Mom to church, she said no but then he offered to take her kids to church He took Ron to church and paid for him to go to camp and gave him a shirt for Ron's baptism Someone brought a Chiquita Banana box to Ron's home with Christmas dinner including a can of mandarin oranges The can has been a symbol to him of the cost of a lack of education Ron runs a company called Southwest Michigan First, which helps people get jobs and get trained They have a company that puts on a conference annually called Catalyst University with 3000 people They have a company called Consulting Connect which is the largest economic development consulting firm in the country For most companies, 30% of employees are engaged, 50% are neutral, and 20% are disengaged.  At Ron's company, they have a 95% engagement rate and they've been voted one of the best places to work, partly due to their organizational axioms They encourage their employees to be a CEO of their own responsibilities They have everyone on their team (30) interview candidates to make sure they're the right fit Everyone has individual goals, small team goals, and corporate goals They meet with a mentor every 40 days Their employees are ultra accountable but also have ultra freedom to accomplish their goals There's just no enjoyment in over-managing people and if you hire the right people you don't have to Another axiom is Family First. Ron leaves loudly by leaving at 2pm to work out at the gym. They don't hide that they're going to a family event but rather they celebrate it It makes participating in their family the norm If you're in a negative working environment, get out if you can Bring everyone on the team in for a book club to change the culture Humility was demonstrated by Christ, who chose to speak to others because He was the expert, but He spoke about His Father, not Himself There's a difference between carrying the mission for the organization and self-promotion Great leaders talk about "we" not about "I" You were created by God to be great, but you didn't do anything to earn that, so bragging about that is damaging to God's gift and your ability to serve others Ron's 70/20/10 formula helps him to have joy.  70% of his activities are things that are high energy and have a big impact.  20% are things he doesn't like but have to be done.  10% are things he enjoys. The key to work life balance is to know what you want and what it takes to get there, and to take care of yourself Living out your Christian faith through your work is to make your faith the center of your behaviors We live a faith whose basic tenet is love and respect Ron's favorite scripture is Nehemiah 6:3 Ron recommends the Skim Podcast, Andy Stanley, and John Maxwell and audio books Go to www.RonKitchens.com
