For Beth, after anal intercourse

This girl I know gets off on anal insertion. But she's not a bad person, really, and doesn't do it as often as some who do it for something other than fun. It's just that she'd rather be done from behind if a guy's inclined: in a stockroom on a night-shift, with her smock bunched up at her midriff. And of course, having tried it (once, though never as receiver,) I would like to disbelieve her: there's a dirty politics to asses, when cunt's fine enough, and I've trouble with mixing up pleasure and hurt - "Hush," she says, shrugging off her skirt, "hush, love - come, love. For nothing's certain but rare joy you take for yourself wherever you can find it. And if it's shared in the end's more fleeting than coincidence; so come, I won't mind it - and when you're there, I swear you won't know better or care."
