For decades, crash test dummies have been modeled on the average male, but studies now show that women are more likely to be injured or killed in certain types of crashes. As the data mounts, so does the urgency to fix the gender gap in car safety.This week, we're joined by Emily Thomas, PhD, Associate Director of Automotive Safety at Consumer Reports, and Astrid Linder, Professor of Traffic Safety at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, who developed the world's first crash test dummy representing an average woman. Together, we'll explore what it will take to design truly inclusive and safe cars.The conversation covers:Why women face higher injury risks in car crashesWhat's involved in designing a female crash test dummyHow the shift to driverless cars presents a chance to correct past biases---ResourcesAstrid Linder's researchUniversity of Virginia study U.S. Government Accountability Office recommendations---About Professor Astrid LinderAstrid Linder is Professor of Traffic Safety at Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI, and an Adjunct Professor of Injury Prevention at Chalmers University.

Once upon a time, most births took place within the home. A place where families could embrace the arrival of new life with love and care, in a safe, familiar setting. But today, the vast majority of births occur in the sterile, medicalized environment of a hospital, a place more often associated with illness, disease, and death. For many, this is the last place they want to experience the miracle of birth. Especially now the once trusted establishments of hospitals have being exposed as beholden to powerful money interests that put profit of well being. It's no wonder, then, that a renaissance is taking place. One in which increasing numbers of men and women are deciding to return to nature's way, by opting for a home birth with as minimal medical intervention's as possible. To understand why this is the case, as well as the many benefits of home birthing in episode 90, we are joined by Emily Thomas. Emily is a mother of two healthy children born at home, who is here to share her personal experiences of multiple natural home births. As well as her extensive research into both home and unassisted birthing.

Surprise! Because we had a Patreon movie that fits the timeframe of our Bridgerton world, we've decided to drop a bonus one on the main feed. This is a Victorian era mystery starring Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, Sherlock's younger sister. It's a star-studded Netflix film from 2020 that also features Henry Cavill as older bro Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter as the (disappearing) matriarch of the Holmes family. Sam Claflin plays the eldest bro of the family, Mycroft Holmes, who sucks a big fat one. It's a fun flick directed by a man who also brought is “Fleabag,” and you can feel it from the absolutely shattered 4th wall. And if you wanna stay for some off the topic Jon & Kev chat, just keep listening after the end song. Thanks to Emily Thomas for the request, and thanks to all the Patreon pals for your support, and you can join the fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Father's Bed Needs A Woman In 4 parts, By Carole_n_Nice.Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. I will repeat a list of characters in the first two parts because I have introduced quite a few in a short page span. Dramatis Personae Chastity (18) Prudence - Chastity's Sister (Now 19) Enos - Chastity's Father (60) Barbara - Chastity's Mother and recently divorced wife of Enos (46) [[MORE]] Thomas - Chastity's Brother (26) Emily - Thomas' Wife (25) Mathew - Chastity's Brother (25) Grace - Mathew's wife (22) Luke - Chastity's Brother (23) John - Chastity's Brother (21) "The Holy One" - Highest Prelate of the Church and Barbara's new second husband Prelate Mathias - High Officer of the Church Evangeline - Wife of Mathias and Saint of the Church Augustine - Chastity's Uncle and Brother of Enos My father stood up and smiled at all of us kneeling before him. "Daughters, what is your duty," father asked? "To obey you, father," we replied in unison. "Prudence, Stand!" My sister stood at my father's command and awaited his assignment. My father walked over to her, touched the bonnet on her head and then her cheek. "You will go with your two eldest brothers, Thomas and Mathew." "Yes, father," She said and knelt at the feet of both of them. I was shocked that my father would assign her to my older brothers. I thought he would give her to one of them but to have a girl who was still days from her nineteenth birthday to men was shocking. I felt for certain that he would assign both Prudence and I to our two oldest brothers, Grace to our youngest and Emily, Our oldest sister in law to himself. My father turned to Grace. "Grace, you will serve my beloved son, Luke." Grace stood up and said, "Thank you, Father." "I will make you proud of me and erase our sins." She then curtseyed to him and went to kneel in front of Luke. My heart sunk. This left me with my youngest brother, John. Although, I loved him he was a bit of a handful and we all dreaded the thought of being assigned to him. I grit my teeth and waited. "Prudence!" "Emily!" "Stand daughters!" We both stood and waited what was ordained to happen. I smiled at Emily, my heart breaking because of not being with my father but bursting with pride that she would rightfully be with our patriarch. "Emily, you will go with my youngest son, John." "You will serve him well, daughter," he said. I could see the shock only partially hidden on Emily's face. "Yes, father." "I will please and honor your son AS IF HE WERE YOU." "Prudence, you will serve me." I nodded and knelt at his feet. This was a disaster. How could father have made such a bad decision to assign Emily to John? I knelt stunned at my father's feet. I watched as Emily knelt before John and pulled his manhood from his pants. She reached over with amazing dignity and took him into his mouth and started to suck him hard. I felt my father reach for my arm and pull me onto his lap. He was smiling. I put my arms around him, kissed him on the cheek and whispered to him, "How could you assign our oldest sister to John?" "It is an insult." He took my chin and forced me to look him straight in the eyes. "Because I want you and after that, it all made sense to me." "Now undress me, Chastity." I nodded and got off my father's lap. I unbuttoned his shirt, pulled it out of his pants and off his arms. He kissed my lips, his tongue, softly between them and pulled me to him. I bent over to him and trailed my lips to his chest. I kisses his small nipples, using my teeth as he had done to me. I went to my knees and unbuckled his pants. I unfastened them and pulled them from his legs. My hands hardly had had his pants off and I was reaching with the other one to pull his undershorts down his legs. All thought of Emily had fled from my brain as my wanting my father's cock took over my brain. He sprung free of his underwear and stood in front of my eyes. I started to move towards it to grasp it in my lips and I felt him move me upwards. He shook his head and sat me on his lap. I sat down on him and I he placed his manhood between my legs, the side of his shaft laying against the lips of my vagina. I felt my father's hand touch my breast and he was kissing me so gently. I cupped my breast for him as I did last week and he took my nipple between his lips. I felt like a Madonna, portrayed by so many artists in the past. He nursed on my small breast and I just closed my eyes, relishing his suckling. I looked to Prudence to ensure she was alright. She was on her knees with Mathew's penis in her mouth. Mathew was holding her head to him as his hips slipped it in and out of her mouth. My oldest brother Thomas fondled her breast and kissed her back as she serviced Mathew. Grace was already on her back in a position of self-stimulation. She was preparing herself to be wet for my brother Luke who was between her legs watching her. He widened her legs and smiled down at her. I watched as she reached up and took Luke's cock in her hand and guided my brother to her vagina. Luke penetrated her immediately and Grace wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him into her. I heard her say, "Give me your seed, Brother Luke so I can atone for my sins." Luke pushed into her faster. Emily was taking John's cock with much dignity and energy. I turned back to my father's attention. He twisted me in his lap so that I was still sitting on it but my back was towards him. He reached around and was massaging both of my breasts with his hands and kissing the back of my neck. His cock was hardened, between my legs and the top of it pushing against my vagina. I reached down and took the head of it and held it steady as I slid my pussy up against it. Getting it wet as I slid. My eyes closed as I slid myself up and down my father's cock pressing on the outside of my pussy. I heard a muffled noise. I opened my eyes and quickly looked to Emily as she suppressed another sound of pain. I stared at her and then at my youngest brother John. I couldn't believe it. He was behind Emily and taking his brother's wife anally. He was pushing her hard and I could see she was being hurt. "Father," I drew his attention to Emily! When I shouted, everyone looked up and towards the person of my concern. I shot my eyes to my oldest brother Thomas and I could see he had become immediately angry that his wife should be sodomized by his younger brother on this occasion. He started to get up and walk towards John. "STOP!" My father glared at Thomas and looked towards Emily. "What is your duty, Daughter," My father turned and asked Emily? Emily looked up at my father, straining her neck to look high enough after being impaled on my brother's cock, "To obey and atone for my sins, Father." "I am sorry if I have disturbed your pleasure, father." She turned to her husband Thomas and smiled. Then she turned to my brother John and said, "Brother, please take my ass as you will." "Give me your seed hard so that I may atone for my sins." My brother John, smiled and commenced taking her from behind. I could see the pain on Emily's face but she kept asking for it harder, begging for her sins to be forgiven. Thomas pulled our sister Prudence from her oral duties with Mathew. He turned her so that she would be facing my father and me on all fours. He took hand lotion and lathered it all over his penis. I watched in horror as he took Prudence by the hips and plunged his cock into her backside. She screamed as he sodomized her and looked directly into my father's eyes. "THOMAS," I heard Emily shout." "You stop that with Prudence or I will never forgive you." My Brother looked up, pulled out of Prudence and hugged her. He took her between him and Mathew. They just hugged her between them and kept her warm. My father took me by the hand and pulled me up the stairs. We were heading to his bedroom. I looked back at the carnage left of this Eden Conference. Prudence sobbing between the loving arms of her two oldest brothers, Luke between Graces legs with her begging for him to "fuck her harder," and Emily barely able to stay on her knees from the pain of John fucking her in the ass. We got into the bedroom and I could not hold my peace. "Father, this was ill thought out and has torn our family apart." "Chastity, If I wanted you to speak I would have singled so," is all he said. "Now lie down on the bed and open your legs for my cock." I laid on the bed, sobbing as he kneeled between my legs. He took my knees and bent them so that my feet were flat on the bed. "Ask for it, Chastity!" I sniffed and took a breath. "Please fuck me, father." With that he took his cock and started to fuck me. He pulled my legs around him and I lay there as he pushed inside me. After several minutes, he spent himself inside me. He just lay across my body, crushing me with his weight and fell asleep. The next morning I awoke without the crushing weight of my father on top of me. My father was already downstairs while my sisters prepared breakfast in silence. I put my robe on and went into the kitchen. When I got down to the kitchen, he called the family together. I watched as my father started to cry, a broken man that I had never seen before. He apologized to each of us for last night. He explained how the loss of my mother had disturbed him and he wasn't thinking right. He scolded John for his willingness to not only hurt his brother but to physically hurt his brother's wife. He kissed Prudence because of the pain he caused. To Emily, he got on his knees and begged forgiveness. Emily got on her knees with him, silently prayed for a moment and said, "Father, I have no forgiveness to give you because you have done nothing to me that would warrant it." "It is I who has sinned in Eden and that is what the conference is for, so I may atone." With that, she stood up and helped my father to his feet. She took the belt of her robe and untied it. She slipped the robe of her shoulder and stood nude in front of him. "I beg your forgiveness, father." "I want to atone for it as I should of last night." Emily clasped her hand in my fathers and turned him towards the stairs. As she passed me, she also grasped my hands and said, "You will join us Sister Chastity," and to the rest she said, "Please break your fast." "We will be a while," and she took us up the stairs. _________ Emily took us upstairs and closed the door. I stood in silence as she undressed him and had him lay on the bed. She came to me, kissed me lightly on the lips and reached for the belt on my robe. She unfastened it and took it off my shoulders and stood me naked in front of her. She pulled me to her and hugged me, leaning down to kiss me. She walked me to the bed, sat me down next to my father and reached underneath my chin. She undid my bonnet and looked at me. "I am young but I am not a fool, Chastity." "I have eyes." She finished removing my bonnet and laid me next to my father. She lay next to my father on the other side and took his penis in her hand. He stroked it until is started to respond. My father took my breast in his hand and massaged my nipples. Emily cupped one of my breast in her free hand and fed it to my father. My father sucked the nipple, doing that soft scrape thing with his teeth that drove me crazy. I watched as she left my father with my breast and moved down and took him into her mouth. My father groaned as she stimulated him. I pushed him back on the bed and kissed his tummy. Emily saw me sliding down and pulled me between his legs. She licked the head of my father's cock and sucked on it, finally holding it for me to take in my mouth. I took my father's head between my lips and sucked on it. I could feel him start to grow even harder. His hips starting to move into me. Emily took my father out of my mouth and kissed the head of it herself. She stretched me out on the bed. Her hand cupping one of my breasts and kissing the nipple. She look at my father and me. "I can see how much she is in love with you, father, and you with her." "I don't know how we hide this because you will be excommunicated if a Bishop finds out." "We can do much in this church but not marry a daughter." With that, she put her hand between my legs and touched my wetness. "Sister, you can never have a wedding so this is the best I can ever do for you." She said a silent prayer as her finger traced around my clit. Then she kissed me full on the lips, took my father and placed him between my legs. "Sister, Chastity," she intoned, "This is your husband." "Open your legs and take his seed as you are want to do." With that, she took my father's cock and placed it between my legs. He pushed my father into me so that I would take him. I caught my breath as he entered me and swirled my legs around his hips, arching myself to take him. She bent over and kissed my father than me. She lay down next to me and took my hand. She kissed my hand, then held it. My father was fully in me and she whispered to me, "Chastity, say it." I smiled back at her and looked up into my father's eyes. "Husband," I said, "give me your seed." She reached over and kissed him, "Father, fuck your new bride." With that I opened my legs fully and my husband came deeply inside me. The next morning: I woke the next morning with the sun bursting through the windows and in peace. I had slept so well the night before. I looked over at my father, laying peacefully next to me and I nuzzled myself against him, taking his arm around my waist to make a perfect spoon. I closed my eyes again for a few moments and must have fallen asleep. I awoke feeling my father's cock hard and pushing between my cheeks. His hips giving me a soft nudging wake up. I reached my arm behind me and grasped his hips with my small hand. I pulled him up against me and felt the warmth of his arms as he enveloped my body. "Chastity," are you awake? I chuckled and bit a smile from my lip and said, "Yes, Husband, I am awake." "I love you, Chastity." "I love you also, Husband," I said as I pushed myself against his hard cock. I felt his breath on the back of my neck, a combination muffled yawn and an exhale of passion. He pushed my head forward and licked the back of my neck with his tongue. Electricity kind of shot down my spine as his kisses seemed to explode on my spinal column. He reached around me and cupped my small breasts in each of his massive hands. He softly made my nipples hard as he ran them through his fingers, squeezing them lightly between them. I felt him take my top leg as I lay sideways and pull it back over his leg. He pulled my hips more to him making our spoon position have a serious bend in it. I felt him move his penis between my legs and I reached down between mine. I took his cock in my hand and guided it to my vagina. When I had the tip of it in, I reached behind again to urge him forward. He took my hips and pulled me back onto his penis. I closed my eyes as he entered me fully. I was wet from the minute I woke up and needed none of his ministrations to be able to receive him. I pushed myself backwards against him and let him take me. "I love you, Husband." "Take me fully," I said. My father whispered into my ear, "Tell me, Chastity." "Fuck me, Husband." "Take your child bride and give me your seed." "Give me a baby." "Push your cock and your love deep into my tummy." I felt him kiss my ear and push himself deeper inside me. I could feel him grow inside me. His urgent push to keep impaled. "Cum with me, Chastity." "Show me how much you love me by being the receptacle of my sperm." With that, I moved into his caressing body, pushing myself more urgently on him and taking over the movement. My hips taking over and riding my husband's cock. "Husband, I want you to cum!" "I want your seed into my tummy!" "I need you to fuck me!" "I want you to give me a BABY!" "PLEASE, father!" "HUSBAND," I corrected. "Please give me a baby!" He started squirting inside me and I started to orgasm. My vagina started contracting around his cock and milking it. Squeezing it as I heard him scream for more. He went rigid for a second, as I felt my whole body spasm against him. He held me... as he finished in my body. We fell asleep again with him still inside me. He just held me and kept me warm. About thirty minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. I jumped out of bed and I heard a shout, "Chastity, Father?" "It is just me, Melanie." I grabbed a robe and opened the door for my sister in law. She had a large tray of fruit to break fast with. "I sent everyone home last night, your younger brothers and sister too and told them that you were feeling ill, Chastity." "I informed them that I would take care of you and they could come back this morning." She sat the tray on the bed and I jumped in next to my husband. She had made enough for the three of us and we all enjoyed eating on the bed. "You consummated your marriage last night," Melanie said. "Did you double up this morning?" I just looked at her in shock! I blushed so bright I think I out did the rising sun. My husband chuckled. "Did you not hear your sister cry out in deference to my superiority, Daughter?" I slapped him, embarrassed that he would say something so intimate about our morning behavior. My sister in law just said, "Get used to it, Chastity." "You are a married woman now and you must be teased by your husband." "Was he any good," she said? I punched her in the arm and blushed even further. When we finished, we all sat on the bed and commenced a serious discussion, (at least my Husband did with Melanie). I listened while they talked. The essence of the conversation was, that my father was now spiritually my husband but the reality was he was still my father. This had to be kept secret from the church or it was grounds for ex-communication. I was reminded to call him father in public, to keep our intimacy unknown to the rest of the family and a longer term plan would need to be worked out. With that, we all got up because the work of the day needed to be accomplished. The Prelate Mathias calls an" Eden Conference." Three days later, Prelate Mathias knocked at our door unannounced. I ran to the front door and opened it. I saw the prelate and genuflected to him as a sign of courtesy. "Good afternoon Prelate Mathias," I said. "Are you looking for my father, Eminence?" He smiled at me and said, "I am looking for your father, Chastity." I took him into the living room, ran to the kitchen and got him iced lemonade. I returned it to him with a plate of cookies. "My father will be here directly, Emminence." He nodded and thanked me. My father came into the room and they greeted each other as old friends. They talked about crops, the new missionary prospects for our church and the growth of our church worldwide. Finally after getting another generous plate of cookies and two more glasses of lemonade, Prelate Mathias came to the point. "Elder Enos, as you know my handsome twin grandsons will come of age two days hence." "Obviously, they are destined to do great things for our church and I want them to be blessed from the day of majority." My father/husband nodded his understanding. "As such, I wish to have a blessed Eden Ceremony for them." "To that end, I will require that your daughters Prudence and Chastity to attend them." My father looked at him and gave no noticeable look of concern. "Prelate, might I offer my daughter-in-law Melanie to replace Chastity?" "She is older and more knowing in how to please two young zealots of the church." "Chastity is but unschooled." The Prelate looked at him and shook his head no. "I have had Chastity myself as her fist man and she will suffice." My father just nodded accepting the inevitable. The Prelate got up and shook my father's hand. "Good, that is complete." "Naturally Elder Enos, I would expect you to attend as one of the blessed to watch and share your daughters while they atone for their sins," he said looking directly into my husband's eyes. The Eden Conference was designated to be in the church meeting hall. The afternoon of the conference, both our sister-in-laws came to assist us in preparation. Melanie helped me bathe and shave. Grace gave her attention to Prudence. Prudence seemed somewhat distraught. Grace engaged her in conversation. Melanie and I listened intently. "You are disturbed, sister," Grace asked? Prudence nodded and started to cry. Melanie went over to console her. Grace and Melanie took Prudence from her bath and started toweling her down. Melanie, ever the wise one, kissed her cheek and said, "What disturbs you sister?" Prudence crumbled down onto the floor and said, "I know these twins." "They are obese, pimply, egotistic bullies who get their pleasure from hurting people." "They are also sodomites of either sex." Grace looked at her in awe, "Sister, this is there coming out." "It is their 18th nativity!" "You can't know this because it is a first for them?" Prudence just nodded and said, "It is not their first and I do know." When we finished drying and brushing our hair, Grace and Melanie dressed us. We all kneeled down to pray and practiced our responses for the Eden Conference. Melanie asked us the questions from the Covenants and we responded in unison. At 6:00 PM, my husband came to take both of us, His daughters to the conference. We both walked to the meeting house with father between us holding our hands. When we arrived at the front door, the parents of the twins wanted pictures of all of us. Prudence and I had our pictures taken of us genuflecting in front of the twins, then another with Prelate Mathias anointing us on our knees and our father holding the Doctrine of the Covenants for us to touch at the same time. Finally the pictures were done and we were taken inside the meeting house. I had become convinced that Prudence had a portion of her estimation of the twins correct. They were definitely morbidly obese and had pimples. I was surely hoping she was wrong on the rest of her information. I held Prudence's hand and we both knelt in supplication before the four men. Prelate Mathias, as was his right, allowed the two eighteen year old twins to lead the interrogation of atonement. I caught a glimpse of one of them and I thought he was going to start giggling at any moment. "Sisters," One said, "What are you?" We both replied, "We are women." "We created the first sin against our beloved lord and we are responsible for having us exiled from Eden," we looked at the fat twins with repentant eyes. "Sisters, as women, how will you atone for your sins," the other one asked? "We will pray daily for our salvation, we will obey our husbands, our ordained Elders and our fathers in all things," We repeated in unison. "We will work for men to be accepted into heaven and we will strive to reach the next step of reincarnated manhood ourselves," we pled. The first one said, "What is the Doctrine and Covenants of the Eden Conference, sisters?" We both explained the Doctrine and Covenants of the Eden Conference. "Because women are sinners, we must obey men." "Because we believe in the sisterhood and the privilege of polygamy." "Often times there will not be enough women to be wives to all our ordained elders." "The Eden Conference may be called by our fathers, husbands or an ordained Bishop, so that men may relieve themselves with us sinners." "We are to do all things required of us during the Eden Conference and display our love for our Lord through unquestioning obedience." "Sisters," the second twin said, "what will happen tonight?" "Our beloved Prelate has call us to your nativity Eden Conference with you and our father," we both repeated. They both stood up and asked, "What do you wish, Sisters?" "We wish to cleanse this conference of our sins with our bodies, and bless your nativity day," we replied. "And what will you do in order to achieve this," both twins asked? "We will obey you in all things and do my father honor," We both replied. Both of them then said, "You may disrobe for us." Prudence and I stood up hand in hand. I started to unbutton the back of my sister's dress. The sanctity of the room was distracted by the twins starting to point at us and giggle. I caught my husband's eye. He just dropped his head and avoided contact with me. I had her dress unbuttoned and I was unfastening her apron for her while she pulled her arms from her sleeves. We pulled the dress over her hips and I held her hand as she stepped out of it. I turned my back to her and she untied my apron. She folded it and unbuttoned the back of my dress. I was able to disrobe myself from my dress with her assistance and I folded my dress. We both stood in front of the twins in our bra and panties. Both of them continued to make obnoxious noises and giggle. Both of them were flagellant. They shockingly let out gas. They appeared to be in a competition to see who could EXPEL THE LOUDEST! I pulled my sister around briskly and unfastened her bra. She nodded to me as if indicating that we just needed to get through this. She reached for her panties and pulled them down her legs. I reached into mine and pulled my panties off at the same time. I felt my sister rushing behind to unfasten my bra and we were now standing naked in front of these two oafs. Prudence reached over and squeezed my hand. I saw her close her eyes in prayer and I closed mine also. My mind praying to escape this moment of humiliation when I heard one of them, "Take your bonnets off also!" We both shook our heads vehemently no. "It is forbidden but for our husbands," I said. One came towards me as if to strip me of my chastity and pull my bonnet from me. My father sprung out of his chair and yelled, "STOP!" "These are my daughters and they will not be violated in the community house nor humiliated against their future husbands." Both the twins turned at my father and I thought a fight was to ensue. Prudence pulled me back away from them thinking blows were to be placed. Prelate Mathias intervened. "There has been a misunderstanding." "The boys were just overcome by the obvious seductive looks these slut whores have been giving them. They lost their sanity for a moment because of their enticement by these wanton harlots." "Of course they will not take their bonnets off," he added. My husband was furious but backed off and sat down. Prelate Mathias turned to us. "Chastity and Prudence you are to apologize to my grandsons for being blatant temptresses and whores." "If they forgive you we can continue." Both of us got on our knees and bowed our heads, "Elders, we apologize for our transgression." One of the twins said, "That is not what our holy grandfather said for you to say." "I for one cannot forgive someone who is unwilling to admit their sins and not beg our forgiveness." The other one nodded and said, "I would be remiss in my duty as a man to forgive a woman who wished to have carnal lust with me, NAY begged to have carnal lust with me by undressing in front of me and then insulting me over a misunderstanding." I reached for Prudence's hand again and gave it a squeeze again. I started first and said, "Privileged Elders, I apologize for being a temptress and a whore." Prudence then spoke, "Please forgive me, sirs." "I did not mean to act as a harlot or slut in front of you." "The misunderstanding was caused by me for seducing you." Both of them snickered and nodded to their grandfather. I was beat red from the humiliation of the moment but more so for what my husband had to endure looking at this spectacle. One of the twins turned and said to his grandfather, "We accept their apologies on behalf of you grandfather and certainly for their beloved father." We are certain he these two girls up better than this." "I am still offended but I think with a suitable punishment?" "They can be forgiven." "What did you have in mind," the Prelate asked? "A simple spanking with the punishment stick should suffice," the second twin said. The Prelate turned to the page of punishments. After much discussion about us, he decided that the punishment of spanking with the punishment stick, (Basically a one inch thick by two inch ruler of about 30 inches). The Prelate decided because of the severity of the offense, happening during a holy rite, we should be given twenty smacks reduced by five because of our apologies. So we were to be spanked with a big ruler fifteen times. I had never been spanked in my life and I was frankly terrified. Prudence and I pulled two large ottomans into the middle of the room and assumed our punishment position. We kneeled on the floor, bent over the ottoman and grasped the front legs with our hands so as to remain steady for the punishment. The Prelate stood up once more and explained, "You will count each stroke, and you will also thank your elder for the punishment." "You will also call him a name of his choosing." "The exact phrasing of what you are to say will be written down by your punishing elder and you will repeat in verbatim each time you are stroked." "Do you understand?" "Yes, your Eminence," we both nodded. I was handed my apology statement. I shook in grief. I could not possibly say this. Without warning it was coming, I heard a huge crack across my backside. I almost fainted from the pain. I caught my senses for a second and sputtered out, "One Stroke." "Thank you for punishing your slut, BELOVED HUSBAND!" I was going to be ill from the words! I heard another crack as the ruler crashed against my sister's backside. Prudence gasped out, "One Stroke." "Thank you for punishing your bitch dog, WOOF!" He was making her bark like a dog? "Two Strokes." "Thank you for punishing your slut, BELOVED HUSBAND," I said! "Two Strokes." "Thank you for punishing your bitch dog, WOOF," Prudence shouted. It went on like that until I don't know when, (Prudence later explained to me that I had fainted on stroke ten and they ceased the spanking.) I came to, a little nauseous, but awake. Naturally the rite had not been finished because they had not implanted their seed into our vaginas. I realized that they meant to enter us without allowing me to rest. Prudence was making herself wet, bent over the ottoman. When she saw me awake, she tried to take some of her moisture to give it to me so I would have some lubrication. The Prelate ruled that this was not allowed in the covenants so I was to be entered without self-moisture. I felt one of the twins behind me softly kicking my legs apart to accommodate him. I felt his heavy stomach lean over me and I wondered how he would be able to reach me from this position as fat as he was? I felt him move his knees forward of my knees, lean back and start to move his penis against me. He was pushing the head of it against my vagina to gain entrance. My head snapped to my left when I heard Prudence let out a scream. I watched as the other twin moved his hips in and out like a maniac. Prudence screamed each time he thrust forward. I looked harder and I realized that she was being anally sodomizing. I listened to my sister and her continued screams of pain. Suddenly, I felt this huge burning pain in my backside. I was thrust forward against the ottoman and buried under his weight. He had entered my bum from the rear. I was not paying attention and the thrust split me in two. I could hardly breathe as he pushed his obese weight onto my back. The pain was unbelievable and then he started to spank me. "Help me bitch." "Move your ass under me," he kept saying. I couldn't move at all. He easily outweighed me by two hundred pound. I heard Prudence begging for him to fuck her in the ass. I knew she was trying to hurrying him. I took up the mantra also. "Please, beloved husband, fuck my ass." "Fuck your bitch's ass, please, I beg." Several minutes later, I heard him groan, thrust himself into me one more time and start to spurt his seed into my bowels. When he finished, he laid all his weight onto me in exhaustion. As he did, it dawned on me that this is the first time in my life I truly felt I was going to die from asphyxiation. I couldn't catch my breath. Finally he started to move and I gulped air into my lungs. When they both finished, Prelate Mathias beckoned for me to kneel before him. I knelt as he ordered. I found his penis underneath his belly and took him into my mouth, my hand grasping his shaft and commenced to suck him off. He turned to my husband and said, "I will honor your daughter Chastity by giving her my seed." "You will go over and spill your seed inside your daughter Prudence." My father just shook his head and declined the offer. The Prelate glared at him. "I understand, Enos." "Not all men at your age have my stamina even though I'm twenty years older than you." "I understand." "My Grandsons are young and will soon recover." "I will have them both do Prudence at the same time while I enjoy Chastity." I watched my defeated husband go to my sister. He picked her up off the ottoman and lay her across a large settee. He stroked her face, shed a tear onto forehead and stood quietly between her legs. I watched as this giant of a man, took his daughter and gently came inside her... All the time holding his weight off her and comforting her. The Prelate pulled me off his cock and had me straddle his rotund body while it was sitting in his chair. I lowered myself onto his cock and started sliding up and down. He kept pinching my nipples as I took him inside me. "Tell me you want me in your cunt, Chastity." I don't know what possessed me to do this but I did. I kissed his lips, my tongue parting them and I repeated exactly what he told me to, "Tell me you want me in your cunt, CHASTITY." He grabbed my breast and almost twisted my nipples off in rage as he screamed, "YOU MOCK ME WHORE!" His anger must have been enough to kick things into high gear because he started cumming immediately after that. They left quickly soon after the Prelate spilled his seed in me. Prudence and I were in no condition to walk back to the house. My father called Melanie and Grace to help assist us. They got us reasonably dressed and my father carried us to Thomas' car, (thank god they had brought it because neither one of us could have walked back home.) Melanie and Grace bathed us and laid us on our bed face down. They softly massaged a balm into our hurt areas and let us sleep. They both stayed the night to be of assistance if we needed any.

Father's Bed Needs A Woman In 4 parts, By Carole_n_Nice.Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. I will repeat a list of characters in the first two parts because I have introduced quite a few in a short page span. Dramatis Personae Chastity (18) Prudence - Chastity's Sister (Now 19) Enos - Chastity's Father (60) Barbara - Chastity's Mother and recently divorced wife of Enos (46) [[MORE]] Thomas - Chastity's Brother (26) Emily - Thomas' Wife (25) Mathew - Chastity's Brother (25) Grace - Mathew's wife (22) Luke - Chastity's Brother (23) John - Chastity's Brother (21) "The Holy One" - Highest Prelate of the Church and Barbara's new second husband Prelate Mathias - High Officer of the Church Evangeline - Wife of Mathias and Saint of the Church Augustine - Chastity's Uncle and Brother of Enos My father stood up and smiled at all of us kneeling before him. "Daughters, what is your duty," father asked? "To obey you, father," we replied in unison. "Prudence, Stand!" My sister stood at my father's command and awaited his assignment. My father walked over to her, touched the bonnet on her head and then her cheek. "You will go with your two eldest brothers, Thomas and Mathew." "Yes, father," She said and knelt at the feet of both of them. I was shocked that my father would assign her to my older brothers. I thought he would give her to one of them but to have a girl who was still days from her nineteenth birthday to men was shocking. I felt for certain that he would assign both Prudence and I to our two oldest brothers, Grace to our youngest and Emily, Our oldest sister in law to himself. My father turned to Grace. "Grace, you will serve my beloved son, Luke." Grace stood up and said, "Thank you, Father." "I will make you proud of me and erase our sins." She then curtseyed to him and went to kneel in front of Luke. My heart sunk. This left me with my youngest brother, John. Although, I loved him he was a bit of a handful and we all dreaded the thought of being assigned to him. I grit my teeth and waited. "Prudence!" "Emily!" "Stand daughters!" We both stood and waited what was ordained to happen. I smiled at Emily, my heart breaking because of not being with my father but bursting with pride that she would rightfully be with our patriarch. "Emily, you will go with my youngest son, John." "You will serve him well, daughter," he said. I could see the shock only partially hidden on Emily's face. "Yes, father." "I will please and honor your son AS IF HE WERE YOU." "Prudence, you will serve me." I nodded and knelt at his feet. This was a disaster. How could father have made such a bad decision to assign Emily to John? I knelt stunned at my father's feet. I watched as Emily knelt before John and pulled his manhood from his pants. She reached over with amazing dignity and took him into his mouth and started to suck him hard. I felt my father reach for my arm and pull me onto his lap. He was smiling. I put my arms around him, kissed him on the cheek and whispered to him, "How could you assign our oldest sister to John?" "It is an insult." He took my chin and forced me to look him straight in the eyes. "Because I want you and after that, it all made sense to me." "Now undress me, Chastity." I nodded and got off my father's lap. I unbuttoned his shirt, pulled it out of his pants and off his arms. He kissed my lips, his tongue, softly between them and pulled me to him. I bent over to him and trailed my lips to his chest. I kisses his small nipples, using my teeth as he had done to me. I went to my knees and unbuckled his pants. I unfastened them and pulled them from his legs. My hands hardly had had his pants off and I was reaching with the other one to pull his undershorts down his legs. All thought of Emily had fled from my brain as my wanting my father's cock took over my brain. He sprung free of his underwear and stood in front of my eyes. I started to move towards it to grasp it in my lips and I felt him move me upwards. He shook his head and sat me on his lap. I sat down on him and I he placed his manhood between my legs, the side of his shaft laying against the lips of my vagina. I felt my father's hand touch my breast and he was kissing me so gently. I cupped my breast for him as I did last week and he took my nipple between his lips. I felt like a Madonna, portrayed by so many artists in the past. He nursed on my small breast and I just closed my eyes, relishing his suckling. I looked to Prudence to ensure she was alright. She was on her knees with Mathew's penis in her mouth. Mathew was holding her head to him as his hips slipped it in and out of her mouth. My oldest brother Thomas fondled her breast and kissed her back as she serviced Mathew. Grace was already on her back in a position of self-stimulation. She was preparing herself to be wet for my brother Luke who was between her legs watching her. He widened her legs and smiled down at her. I watched as she reached up and took Luke's cock in her hand and guided my brother to her vagina. Luke penetrated her immediately and Grace wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him into her. I heard her say, "Give me your seed, Brother Luke so I can atone for my sins." Luke pushed into her faster. Emily was taking John's cock with much dignity and energy. I turned back to my father's attention. He twisted me in his lap so that I was still sitting on it but my back was towards him. He reached around and was massaging both of my breasts with his hands and kissing the back of my neck. His cock was hardened, between my legs and the top of it pushing against my vagina. I reached down and took the head of it and held it steady as I slid my pussy up against it. Getting it wet as I slid. My eyes closed as I slid myself up and down my father's cock pressing on the outside of my pussy. I heard a muffled noise. I opened my eyes and quickly looked to Emily as she suppressed another sound of pain. I stared at her and then at my youngest brother John. I couldn't believe it. He was behind Emily and taking his brother's wife anally. He was pushing her hard and I could see she was being hurt. "Father," I drew his attention to Emily! When I shouted, everyone looked up and towards the person of my concern. I shot my eyes to my oldest brother Thomas and I could see he had become immediately angry that his wife should be sodomized by his younger brother on this occasion. He started to get up and walk towards John. "STOP!" My father glared at Thomas and looked towards Emily. "What is your duty, Daughter," My father turned and asked Emily? Emily looked up at my father, straining her neck to look high enough after being impaled on my brother's cock, "To obey and atone for my sins, Father." "I am sorry if I have disturbed your pleasure, father." She turned to her husband Thomas and smiled. Then she turned to my brother John and said, "Brother, please take my ass as you will." "Give me your seed hard so that I may atone for my sins." My brother John, smiled and commenced taking her from behind. I could see the pain on Emily's face but she kept asking for it harder, begging for her sins to be forgiven. Thomas pulled our sister Prudence from her oral duties with Mathew. He turned her so that she would be facing my father and me on all fours. He took hand lotion and lathered it all over his penis. I watched in horror as he took Prudence by the hips and plunged his cock into her backside. She screamed as he sodomized her and looked directly into my father's eyes. "THOMAS," I heard Emily shout." "You stop that with Prudence or I will never forgive you." My Brother looked up, pulled out of Prudence and hugged her. He took her between him and Mathew. They just hugged her between them and kept her warm. My father took me by the hand and pulled me up the stairs. We were heading to his bedroom. I looked back at the carnage left of this Eden Conference. Prudence sobbing between the loving arms of her two oldest brothers, Luke between Graces legs with her begging for him to "fuck her harder," and Emily barely able to stay on her knees from the pain of John fucking her in the ass. We got into the bedroom and I could not hold my peace. "Father, this was ill thought out and has torn our family apart." "Chastity, If I wanted you to speak I would have singled so," is all he said. "Now lie down on the bed and open your legs for my cock." I laid on the bed, sobbing as he kneeled between my legs. He took my knees and bent them so that my feet were flat on the bed. "Ask for it, Chastity!" I sniffed and took a breath. "Please fuck me, father." With that he took his cock and started to fuck me. He pulled my legs around him and I lay there as he pushed inside me. After several minutes, he spent himself inside me. He just lay across my body, crushing me with his weight and fell asleep. The next morning I awoke without the crushing weight of my father on top of me. My father was already downstairs while my sisters prepared breakfast in silence. I put my robe on and went into the kitchen. When I got down to the kitchen, he called the family together. I watched as my father started to cry, a broken man that I had never seen before. He apologized to each of us for last night. He explained how the loss of my mother had disturbed him and he wasn't thinking right. He scolded John for his willingness to not only hurt his brother but to physically hurt his brother's wife. He kissed Prudence because of the pain he caused. To Emily, he got on his knees and begged forgiveness. Emily got on her knees with him, silently prayed for a moment and said, "Father, I have no forgiveness to give you because you have done nothing to me that would warrant it." "It is I who has sinned in Eden and that is what the conference is for, so I may atone." With that, she stood up and helped my father to his feet. She took the belt of her robe and untied it. She slipped the robe of her shoulder and stood nude in front of him. "I beg your forgiveness, father." "I want to atone for it as I should of last night." Emily clasped her hand in my fathers and turned him towards the stairs. As she passed me, she also grasped my hands and said, "You will join us Sister Chastity," and to the rest she said, "Please break your fast." "We will be a while," and she took us up the stairs. _________ Emily took us upstairs and closed the door. I stood in silence as she undressed him and had him lay on the bed. She came to me, kissed me lightly on the lips and reached for the belt on my robe. She unfastened it and took it off my shoulders and stood me naked in front of her. She pulled me to her and hugged me, leaning down to kiss me. She walked me to the bed, sat me down next to my father and reached underneath my chin. She undid my bonnet and looked at me. "I am young but I am not a fool, Chastity." "I have eyes." She finished removing my bonnet and laid me next to my father. She lay next to my father on the other side and took his penis in her hand. He stroked it until is started to respond. My father took my breast in his hand and massaged my nipples. Emily cupped one of my breast in her free hand and fed it to my father. My father sucked the nipple, doing that soft scrape thing with his teeth that drove me crazy. I watched as she left my father with my breast and moved down and took him into her mouth. My father groaned as she stimulated him. I pushed him back on the bed and kissed his tummy. Emily saw me sliding down and pulled me between his legs. She licked the head of my father's cock and sucked on it, finally holding it for me to take in my mouth. I took my father's head between my lips and sucked on it. I could feel him start to grow even harder. His hips starting to move into me. Emily took my father out of my mouth and kissed the head of it herself. She stretched me out on the bed. Her hand cupping one of my breasts and kissing the nipple. She look at my father and me. "I can see how much she is in love with you, father, and you with her." "I don't know how we hide this because you will be excommunicated if a Bishop finds out." "We can do much in this church but not marry a daughter." With that, she put her hand between my legs and touched my wetness. "Sister, you can never have a wedding so this is the best I can ever do for you." She said a silent prayer as her finger traced around my clit. Then she kissed me full on the lips, took my father and placed him between my legs. "Sister, Chastity," she intoned, "This is your husband." "Open your legs and take his seed as you are want to do." With that, she took my father's cock and placed it between my legs. He pushed my father into me so that I would take him. I caught my breath as he entered me and swirled my legs around his hips, arching myself to take him. She bent over and kissed my father than me. She lay down next to me and took my hand. She kissed my hand, then held it. My father was fully in me and she whispered to me, "Chastity, say it." I smiled back at her and looked up into my father's eyes. "Husband," I said, "give me your seed." She reached over and kissed him, "Father, fuck your new bride." With that I opened my legs fully and my husband came deeply inside me. The next morning: I woke the next morning with the sun bursting through the windows and in peace. I had slept so well the night before. I looked over at my father, laying peacefully next to me and I nuzzled myself against him, taking his arm around my waist to make a perfect spoon. I closed my eyes again for a few moments and must have fallen asleep. I awoke feeling my father's cock hard and pushing between my cheeks. His hips giving me a soft nudging wake up. I reached my arm behind me and grasped his hips with my small hand. I pulled him up against me and felt the warmth of his arms as he enveloped my body. "Chastity," are you awake? I chuckled and bit a smile from my lip and said, "Yes, Husband, I am awake." "I love you, Chastity." "I love you also, Husband," I said as I pushed myself against his hard cock. I felt his breath on the back of my neck, a combination muffled yawn and an exhale of passion. He pushed my head forward and licked the back of my neck with his tongue. Electricity kind of shot down my spine as his kisses seemed to explode on my spinal column. He reached around me and cupped my small breasts in each of his massive hands. He softly made my nipples hard as he ran them through his fingers, squeezing them lightly between them. I felt him take my top leg as I lay sideways and pull it back over his leg. He pulled my hips more to him making our spoon position have a serious bend in it. I felt him move his penis between my legs and I reached down between mine. I took his cock in my hand and guided it to my vagina. When I had the tip of it in, I reached behind again to urge him forward. He took my hips and pulled me back onto his penis. I closed my eyes as he entered me fully. I was wet from the minute I woke up and needed none of his ministrations to be able to receive him. I pushed myself backwards against him and let him take me. "I love you, Husband." "Take me fully," I said. My father whispered into my ear, "Tell me, Chastity." "Fuck me, Husband." "Take your child bride and give me your seed." "Give me a baby." "Push your cock and your love deep into my tummy." I felt him kiss my ear and push himself deeper inside me. I could feel him grow inside me. His urgent push to keep impaled. "Cum with me, Chastity." "Show me how much you love me by being the receptacle of my sperm." With that, I moved into his caressing body, pushing myself more urgently on him and taking over the movement. My hips taking over and riding my husband's cock. "Husband, I want you to cum!" "I want your seed into my tummy!" "I need you to fuck me!" "I want you to give me a BABY!" "PLEASE, father!" "HUSBAND," I corrected. "Please give me a baby!" He started squirting inside me and I started to orgasm. My vagina started contracting around his cock and milking it. Squeezing it as I heard him scream for more. He went rigid for a second, as I felt my whole body spasm against him. He held me... as he finished in my body. We fell asleep again with him still inside me. He just held me and kept me warm. About thirty minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. I jumped out of bed and I heard a shout, "Chastity, Father?" "It is just me, Melanie." I grabbed a robe and opened the door for my sister in law. She had a large tray of fruit to break fast with. "I sent everyone home last night, your younger brothers and sister too and told them that you were feeling ill, Chastity." "I informed them that I would take care of you and they could come back this morning." She sat the tray on the bed and I jumped in next to my husband. She had made enough for the three of us and we all enjoyed eating on the bed. "You consummated your marriage last night," Melanie said. "Did you double up this morning?" I just looked at her in shock! I blushed so bright I think I out did the rising sun. My husband chuckled. "Did you not hear your sister cry out in deference to my superiority, Daughter?" I slapped him, embarrassed that he would say something so intimate about our morning behavior. My sister in law just said, "Get used to it, Chastity." "You are a married woman now and you must be teased by your husband." "Was he any good," she said? I punched her in the arm and blushed even further. When we finished, we all sat on the bed and commenced a serious discussion, (at least my Husband did with Melanie). I listened while they talked. The essence of the conversation was, that my father was now spiritually my husband but the reality was he was still my father. This had to be kept secret from the church or it was grounds for ex-communication. I was reminded to call him father in public, to keep our intimacy unknown to the rest of the family and a longer term plan would need to be worked out. With that, we all got up because the work of the day needed to be accomplished. The Prelate Mathias calls an" Eden Conference." Three days later, Prelate Mathias knocked at our door unannounced. I ran to the front door and opened it. I saw the prelate and genuflected to him as a sign of courtesy. "Good afternoon Prelate Mathias," I said. "Are you looking for my father, Eminence?" He smiled at me and said, "I am looking for your father, Chastity." I took him into the living room, ran to the kitchen and got him iced lemonade. I returned it to him with a plate of cookies. "My father will be here directly, Emminence." He nodded and thanked me. My father came into the room and they greeted each other as old friends. They talked about crops, the new missionary prospects for our church and the growth of our church worldwide. Finally after getting another generous plate of cookies and two more glasses of lemonade, Prelate Mathias came to the point. "Elder Enos, as you know my handsome twin grandsons will come of age two days hence." "Obviously, they are destined to do great things for our church and I want them to be blessed from the day of majority." My father/husband nodded his understanding. "As such, I wish to have a blessed Eden Ceremony for them." "To that end, I will require that your daughters Prudence and Chastity to attend them." My father looked at him and gave no noticeable look of concern. "Prelate, might I offer my daughter-in-law Melanie to replace Chastity?" "She is older and more knowing in how to please two young zealots of the church." "Chastity is but unschooled." The Prelate looked at him and shook his head no. "I have had Chastity myself as her fist man and she will suffice." My father just nodded accepting the inevitable. The Prelate got up and shook my father's hand. "Good, that is complete." "Naturally Elder Enos, I would expect you to attend as one of the blessed to watch and share your daughters while they atone for their sins," he said looking directly into my husband's eyes. The Eden Conference was designated to be in the church meeting hall. The afternoon of the conference, both our sister-in-laws came to assist us in preparation. Melanie helped me bathe and shave. Grace gave her attention to Prudence. Prudence seemed somewhat distraught. Grace engaged her in conversation. Melanie and I listened intently. "You are disturbed, sister," Grace asked? Prudence nodded and started to cry. Melanie went over to console her. Grace and Melanie took Prudence from her bath and started toweling her down. Melanie, ever the wise one, kissed her cheek and said, "What disturbs you sister?" Prudence crumbled down onto the floor and said, "I know these twins." "They are obese, pimply, egotistic bullies who get their pleasure from hurting people." "They are also sodomites of either sex." Grace looked at her in awe, "Sister, this is there coming out." "It is their 18th nativity!" "You can't know this because it is a first for them?" Prudence just nodded and said, "It is not their first and I do know." When we finished drying and brushing our hair, Grace and Melanie dressed us. We all kneeled down to pray and practiced our responses for the Eden Conference. Melanie asked us the questions from the Covenants and we responded in unison. At 6:00 PM, my husband came to take both of us, His daughters to the conference. We both walked to the meeting house with father between us holding our hands. When we arrived at the front door, the parents of the twins wanted pictures of all of us. Prudence and I had our pictures taken of us genuflecting in front of the twins, then another with Prelate Mathias anointing us on our knees and our father holding the Doctrine of the Covenants for us to touch at the same time. Finally the pictures were done and we were taken inside the meeting house. I had become convinced that Prudence had a portion of her estimation of the twins correct. They were definitely morbidly obese and had pimples. I was surely hoping she was wrong on the rest of her information. I held Prudence's hand and we both knelt in supplication before the four men. Prelate Mathias, as was his right, allowed the two eighteen year old twins to lead the interrogation of atonement. I caught a glimpse of one of them and I thought he was going to start giggling at any moment. "Sisters," One said, "What are you?" We both replied, "We are women." "We created the first sin against our beloved lord and we are responsible for having us exiled from Eden," we looked at the fat twins with repentant eyes. "Sisters, as women, how will you atone for your sins," the other one asked? "We will pray daily for our salvation, we will obey our husbands, our ordained Elders and our fathers in all things," We repeated in unison. "We will work for men to be accepted into heaven and we will strive to reach the next step of reincarnated manhood ourselves," we pled. The first one said, "What is the Doctrine and Covenants of the Eden Conference, sisters?" We both explained the Doctrine and Covenants of the Eden Conference. "Because women are sinners, we must obey men." "Because we believe in the sisterhood and the privilege of polygamy." "Often times there will not be enough women to be wives to all our ordained elders." "The Eden Conference may be called by our fathers, husbands or an ordained Bishop, so that men may relieve themselves with us sinners." "We are to do all things required of us during the Eden Conference and display our love for our Lord through unquestioning obedience." "Sisters," the second twin said, "what will happen tonight?" "Our beloved Prelate has call us to your nativity Eden Conference with you and our father," we both repeated. They both stood up and asked, "What do you wish, Sisters?" "We wish to cleanse this conference of our sins with our bodies, and bless your nativity day," we replied. "And what will you do in order to achieve this," both twins asked? "We will obey you in all things and do my father honor," We both replied. Both of them then said, "You may disrobe for us." Prudence and I stood up hand in hand. I started to unbutton the back of my sister's dress. The sanctity of the room was distracted by the twins starting to point at us and giggle. I caught my husband's eye. He just dropped his head and avoided contact with me. I had her dress unbuttoned and I was unfastening her apron for her while she pulled her arms from her sleeves. We pulled the dress over her hips and I held her hand as she stepped out of it. I turned my back to her and she untied my apron. She folded it and unbuttoned the back of my dress. I was able to disrobe myself from my dress with her assistance and I folded my dress. We both stood in front of the twins in our bra and panties. Both of them continued to make obnoxious noises and giggle. Both of them were flagellant. They shockingly let out gas. They appeared to be in a competition to see who could EXPEL THE LOUDEST! I pulled my sister around briskly and unfastened her bra. She nodded to me as if indicating that we just needed to get through this. She reached for her panties and pulled them down her legs. I reached into mine and pulled my panties off at the same time. I felt my sister rushing behind to unfasten my bra and we were now standing naked in front of these two oafs. Prudence reached over and squeezed my hand. I saw her close her eyes in prayer and I closed mine also. My mind praying to escape this moment of humiliation when I heard one of them, "Take your bonnets off also!" We both shook our heads vehemently no. "It is forbidden but for our husbands," I said. One came towards me as if to strip me of my chastity and pull my bonnet from me. My father sprung out of his chair and yelled, "STOP!" "These are my daughters and they will not be violated in the community house nor humiliated against their future husbands." Both the twins turned at my father and I thought a fight was to ensue. Prudence pulled me back away from them thinking blows were to be placed. Prelate Mathias intervened. "There has been a misunderstanding." "The boys were just overcome by the obvious seductive looks these slut whores have been giving them. They lost their sanity for a moment because of their enticement by these wanton harlots." "Of course they will not take their bonnets off," he added. My husband was furious but backed off and sat down. Prelate Mathias turned to us. "Chastity and Prudence you are to apologize to my grandsons for being blatant temptresses and whores." "If they forgive you we can continue." Both of us got on our knees and bowed our heads, "Elders, we apologize for our transgression." One of the twins said, "That is not what our holy grandfather said for you to say." "I for one cannot forgive someone who is unwilling to admit their sins and not beg our forgiveness." The other one nodded and said, "I would be remiss in my duty as a man to forgive a woman who wished to have carnal lust with me, NAY begged to have carnal lust with me by undressing in front of me and then insulting me over a misunderstanding." I reached for Prudence's hand again and gave it a squeeze again. I started first and said, "Privileged Elders, I apologize for being a temptress and a whore." Prudence then spoke, "Please forgive me, sirs." "I did not mean to act as a harlot or slut in front of you." "The misunderstanding was caused by me for seducing you." Both of them snickered and nodded to their grandfather. I was beat red from the humiliation of the moment but more so for what my husband had to endure looking at this spectacle. One of the twins turned and said to his grandfather, "We accept their apologies on behalf of you grandfather and certainly for their beloved father." We are certain he these two girls up better than this." "I am still offended but I think with a suitable punishment?" "They can be forgiven." "What did you have in mind," the Prelate asked? "A simple spanking with the punishment stick should suffice," the second twin said. The Prelate turned to the page of punishments. After much discussion about us, he decided that the punishment of spanking with the punishment stick, (Basically a one inch thick by two inch ruler of about 30 inches). The Prelate decided because of the severity of the offense, happening during a holy rite, we should be given twenty smacks reduced by five because of our apologies. So we were to be spanked with a big ruler fifteen times. I had never been spanked in my life and I was frankly terrified. Prudence and I pulled two large ottomans into the middle of the room and assumed our punishment position. We kneeled on the floor, bent over the ottoman and grasped the front legs with our hands so as to remain steady for the punishment. The Prelate stood up once more and explained, "You will count each stroke, and you will also thank your elder for the punishment." "You will also call him a name of his choosing." "The exact phrasing of what you are to say will be written down by your punishing elder and you will repeat in verbatim each time you are stroked." "Do you understand?" "Yes, your Eminence," we both nodded. I was handed my apology statement. I shook in grief. I could not possibly say this. Without warning it was coming, I heard a huge crack across my backside. I almost fainted from the pain. I caught my senses for a second and sputtered out, "One Stroke." "Thank you for punishing your slut, BELOVED HUSBAND!" I was going to be ill from the words! I heard another crack as the ruler crashed against my sister's backside. Prudence gasped out, "One Stroke." "Thank you for punishing your bitch dog, WOOF!" He was making her bark like a dog? "Two Strokes." "Thank you for punishing your slut, BELOVED HUSBAND," I said! "Two Strokes." "Thank you for punishing your bitch dog, WOOF," Prudence shouted. It went on like that until I don't know when, (Prudence later explained to me that I had fainted on stroke ten and they ceased the spanking.) I came to, a little nauseous, but awake. Naturally the rite had not been finished because they had not implanted their seed into our vaginas. I realized that they meant to enter us without allowing me to rest. Prudence was making herself wet, bent over the ottoman. When she saw me awake, she tried to take some of her moisture to give it to me so I would have some lubrication. The Prelate ruled that this was not allowed in the covenants so I was to be entered without self-moisture. I felt one of the twins behind me softly kicking my legs apart to accommodate him. I felt his heavy stomach lean over me and I wondered how he would be able to reach me from this position as fat as he was? I felt him move his knees forward of my knees, lean back and start to move his penis against me. He was pushing the head of it against my vagina to gain entrance. My head snapped to my left when I heard Prudence let out a scream. I watched as the other twin moved his hips in and out like a maniac. Prudence screamed each time he thrust forward. I looked harder and I realized that she was being anally sodomizing. I listened to my sister and her continued screams of pain. Suddenly, I felt this huge burning pain in my backside. I was thrust forward against the ottoman and buried under his weight. He had entered my bum from the rear. I was not paying attention and the thrust split me in two. I could hardly breathe as he pushed his obese weight onto my back. The pain was unbelievable and then he started to spank me. "Help me bitch." "Move your ass under me," he kept saying. I couldn't move at all. He easily outweighed me by two hundred pound. I heard Prudence begging for him to fuck her in the ass. I knew she was trying to hurrying him. I took up the mantra also. "Please, beloved husband, fuck my ass." "Fuck your bitch's ass, please, I beg." Several minutes later, I heard him groan, thrust himself into me one more time and start to spurt his seed into my bowels. When he finished, he laid all his weight onto me in exhaustion. As he did, it dawned on me that this is the first time in my life I truly felt I was going to die from asphyxiation. I couldn't catch my breath. Finally he started to move and I gulped air into my lungs. When they both finished, Prelate Mathias beckoned for me to kneel before him. I knelt as he ordered. I found his penis underneath his belly and took him into my mouth, my hand grasping his shaft and commenced to suck him off. He turned to my husband and said, "I will honor your daughter Chastity by giving her my seed." "You will go over and spill your seed inside your daughter Prudence." My father just shook his head and declined the offer. The Prelate glared at him. "I understand, Enos." "Not all men at your age have my stamina even though I'm twenty years older than you." "I understand." "My Grandsons are young and will soon recover." "I will have them both do Prudence at the same time while I enjoy Chastity." I watched my defeated husband go to my sister. He picked her up off the ottoman and lay her across a large settee. He stroked her face, shed a tear onto forehead and stood quietly between her legs. I watched as this giant of a man, took his daughter and gently came inside her... All the time holding his weight off her and comforting her. The Prelate pulled me off his cock and had me straddle his rotund body while it was sitting in his chair. I lowered myself onto his cock and started sliding up and down. He kept pinching my nipples as I took him inside me. "Tell me you want me in your cunt, Chastity." I don't know what possessed me to do this but I did. I kissed his lips, my tongue parting them and I repeated exactly what he told me to, "Tell me you want me in your cunt, CHASTITY." He grabbed my breast and almost twisted my nipples off in rage as he screamed, "YOU MOCK ME WHORE!" His anger must have been enough to kick things into high gear because he started cumming immediately after that. They left quickly soon after the Prelate spilled his seed in me. Prudence and I were in no condition to walk back to the house. My father called Melanie and Grace to help assist us. They got us reasonably dressed and my father carried us to Thomas' car, (thank god they had brought it because neither one of us could have walked back home.) Melanie and Grace bathed us and laid us on our bed face down. They softly massaged a balm into our hurt areas and let us sleep. They both stayed the night to be of assistance if we needed any.

The modern world calls us on us to be visible, to be sociable, to be ‘out there' and tell everyone about it, not to mention to fill our days rushing from one thing to the next to keep up with everything society makes us feel we should be doing, nevermind the pressure from advertisers to create the perfect Christmas, and the knowledge that we are soon to be bombarded by visions of other people's perfect Christmases online in the coming months, and it is a lot. This year I want to entertain the idea of giving ourselves permission to be less visible if we want to, less sociable if we want to, more ‘in here' than ‘out there' when that feels good, and to slow right down, and to do less, in a way which feels like more, without feeling guilty about it.That's why, before we dive into all the chaos of the festive season, and all the joyful themes coming up on the podcast, like gift giving, festive feasting, gathering and more, I wanted to take the time to do a whole episode on nourishing ourselves – mind, body and soul. This includes asking for, and receiving, what we need at this time of year, even if that isn't what society wants us to want, because it does not fit the commercial agenda, or the plans of our loudest friends, or anyone's expectations. Welcome to The Calm Christmas Podcast. I am Beth Kempton and this is Episode 2: Candlelight Carol, which is all about radical winter wellbeing.This episode includes:·      Why retreating is a good idea ·      Practical ways to nourish yourself in winter·      Our regular nature corner·      Christmas traditions from around the world (including several shared by listeners!)·      A lovely simple crafting project that might even become a Christmas gift for someone·      Two lovely recipes (hello nourishment!)·      Get ahead tips and more!With inspiration from @brie.doyle, @tracee_stanley, @davidjwhyte, @silverpebble2 (Emma Mitchell), @bonniesmithwhitehouse, @deliciouslyella, @ellamills__, @nancyhachisu, Fiona Danks, Jo Schofield, Elizabeth Jenner, and Emily Thomas. Lovely things for you:·      GIVEAWAY - !

In this wide-ranging interview, Emily Thomas talks about the importance of perspective and time in travel writing, how sublime moments of pleasurable terror make travel so interesting, how to overcome fears both real and imaginary, as well as the ethics of doom tourism, and how VR (virtual reality) might change how we travel in future. […] The post The Meaning of Travel With Emily Thomas appeared first on Books And Travel.

In the second episode of "Future Dimensions", everything revolves around the fascination of travel – and a future in which boarding a spaceship to start your holidays will be just as normal as taking a plane. To understand why humans have been travelling for millennia, our host Ricardia talks to philosopher Emily Thomas, who has dedicated her research to travel. However, as preferences differ from culture to culture, our host also looks at the trends and differences in travel that are currently moving Asia with Chinese expert Arnold Ma. Together with futurologist Bugge Holm Hansen, she also ventures a look into the distant future – and muses whether road trips could become space trips in a matter of decades.

In this episode of “What Is X?” Justin E.H. Smith and Emily Thomas tackle the timely yet timeless question: "What is time?" Is time an external, objective fact, or is the flow and tempo of the world internal to us—in some sense, all in our head? Could a robot have consciousness even if it didn't understand time? To help concretize these potent questions, Justin and Emily look back at the thought of a now mostly-obscure metaphysician by the name of J.M.E. McTaggart, who argued that time was unreal. In doing so, however, he proposed a framework for time that philosophers have taken up enthusiastically ever since: either one must believe that time is purely linear—occurring as a series of discrete moments in sequence, plotted out on a timeline, simply past or future—or that there is some special interval we might call the "present," in addition to the past and future. Since McTaggart's time, philosophers have been excitedly proclaiming themselves either A theorists (partisans of the present) or B theorists (team pure past and future). Listen in to find out which identity Justin and Emily claim for themselves! Throughout the hour, they also touch on Leibniz and Aristotle's notions of temporality, Adorno on the spatialization of time, and why the ancient Greeks could dream up many notions we'd now think of as sci-fi, but the one thing that seemed to exceed their imagination was time travel.

Few people love waffles more than Leslie Knope of “Parks and Rec,” who spent seven seasons of the popular television series finding new ways to express her love for the popular breakfast food.  But if we had to pick two other people whose love for waffles transcends most other things, it would be Aaron Rosko and Emily Thomas of Press, who single-handedly championed the Belgian liege waffle and made it an indelible part of the Milwaukee food scene.This week on the podcast, we're sitting down with Rosko and Thomas to chat about how they made their passion for waffles into both a successful mobile food operation and a counter service European-style marche. Along the way, they share insights into the highs and lows of the waffle business, the ways they kept customers happy during the global pandemic and some of their plans for the future.  Don't waffle! Listen in!

We're often raised to seek approval from others: At school, we're rewarded for behaving well and studying. As adults, we get job titles and money when we work hard. That makes it easy to neglect the things nobody rewards us for.  But the moments no one else sees are often the most fulfilling and meaningful. And if you make more of those moments happen, you'll be happier and feel more fulfilled. Today, as I talk to Emily Thomas, Chief of Staff of Cultivate What Matters, she shares how to design a life where each day adds up to something special.  Listen to discover how to intentionally set goals rooted in what truly matters and how to create habits that will impact not only your present but also your future.
