Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27303410-20180602155755/@comment-34263048-20180603121557

This turned out much more chatty than I expected. then again I left some details out so it wouldnt get too long.

-"Ehm, Well... How should I put it..." I start. -"There is many different kind of men, and some of them, well, us, will gladly jump for couple hours, or perhaps full weekend with a woman, Human or mamono, but that's it, and they don't want to meet that woman ever again." -"But why?" They all ask -"Well this is going to be a bit long one, but I can tell you how I, as a man see some things." I see all of them nodding, waiting for me to start.

-"If you would have observed humans more closely, you sould know that there isnt any intimacy between two men, No hugs, no kisses, and most certainly no sex, unless they are... you know... Homosexual. For relatively early age, boys are told to "Man up, Grow a pair of balls, and so on. this happens often when the boy is in rather emotional state, therefore the men have buried their emotions. Therefore the men have lot of frustration, need to be close to someone, but as over the years they have learned hide their emotions, well, the easiest way to get that physical intimacy is often sex.

-"For human Females the story is bit different than for the men, you can see them often crying together, laughing together, hugging eachothers, comforting eachothers. For them arousal is not an urge, like it is for men, It's more of a mental thing, which is why most human women can "swing both ways" much more easily, this also leads to situation, that in a modern world female can survive without a partner much easier than a man. Even for having a child nowdays doesnt really require a man.

-"Also, from ancient times when humans were hunter gatherers, living in small tribes men were the expendable ones. if you have a trive which consist about 40 men, and 30 woman, losing 30 man wasnt a big deal. the 10 remaining men, just got the waomsn pregnant and in 15-20 years the tribe was just as large as it used to be. Although the remaining men had to work harder. But if you would lose 20 woman. the 10 remaining women could only support so many children, and to get the tribe back to what is used to be would take 40-60 years. which was nearly twice if not over twice the life expetancy back then. Therefore, if you wanted to have a child of your own as a man, you really needed to be in favor of the woman, or take her by force. Some of that still remains in the men to this day, The urge to "spread the seeds" so to speak."

-"For millenias we fought eachothers, and it has been only centcuries, since the current demonlord ended the wars as they were. Yet during those millenias, you gained certain reputation, and it still affects how people think how you think about people. This might be rough to hear, but it most likely is part of the reason why you are having a hard time."

This is the first time they interrupt me. -"Do we really have to dig up things that most of us havnt even seen or experienced, yet everybody of us knows?" -"I'm afraid we must. Yes the world have changed, but some beliefs about you havent. and that is a reason why this is essential. And trust me when I say that this isn't the harshest part. How ever some things need to be said, Some things that you probably deep don know allready, but you need someone to say it to really understand it." I give them a couple seconds to let that sink in, before continuing.

-"Allright," I start looking at the succubus. -"How did we see succubuses back in the day? can you tell?" But as she stays quiet I continue. -"Sexy seductress, who only exist to lead a man to corruption. Charming the man both with spells, and alluring body. Delivering pleasures that words cant even describe, eventually ruining the man. This leads to present day, Yes you dont lead men to corruption anymore, yet you can get any man that you want in to your bed. Am I right?" She nods. -"Now lets reverse the situation. think that you are just average man,  you could think that you possibly could marry someone one day, but that day isnt today. And every man in this bar is actually a girl, exept the one who is the icarnation of sexual pleasure. Who would you go to?" -"For the pleasure of course." -"Exactly, Now let's change the situation, now you are looking to marry someone, but everyone in this bar are incarnation of pleasure, except one guy who looks fairly average, He's only one who has clothes to cover majority of his body, Who do you go for?" I see how her eyes widen in realization -"I see that if you would be a man, you would look succubus for fun, but would revert to something else for marriage. -"But how can I..." -"Cover yourself. When your appearance is all about sex, men will come looking only for sex. Then try to look for new dates, dont even suggest marriage or sex for first time you meet, If he's still there on 2rd time, you might have a keeper."

Then I take a look at the demon. -"So, Do you remember how origial deal with the demon worked?" -"Short term benefit for a soul?" -"For a human that short term could have meaned a lifetime?" -"Often yes, sometimes agreed amount of years" -"And what happened to the soul?" -"Tormented" -"If a significantly more powerful being would have offered you that kind of contract, would you have signed it?" -"Certainly not" -"Yet one of the first things you did just some time ago was bringing up a contract." -"The contract has been changed centcuries ago." -"But yet you brought it up, The guy didnt know at all what kind of girl you are, therefore he couldn't have known what kind of deal he would get." I pull up a pack of smokes from my pocket, and put it on the table. -"I dont know are you a smoker or not, but let's for a minute pretend you are. Now I say that I have taken one cigarette out of this pack, and are willing to sell it to you half price. Sounds pretty good deal doesnt it?" -"Yes" -"Would you make that deal?" -"Sure." I slide the pack in front of her and tell her to open it. -"This isnt even nearly full!" -"Yes there is only two, but you agreed on half of it's price. I think that if you would have to pay it, you wouldn't be too happy." -"No I certainly wouldn't." -"That's how people see your contract. They are getting in to something which they cannot get out of, and there is very high probability that they dont like what they are getting." -"So you say I should forget the contract completely, That's equal to mariage for me, That cant happen." -"No, Dont forget the contract, as it is very important. Just when you meet a guy that you could possibly like to sign it, give him an example of what he would be getting, and act like the contract would be signed, in other words, let him get to know you. If he likes what you are giving him, then when you bring up the contract he will gladly sign it for life. I see that she nods, althugh the way she looks gives me the impression that she is very reluctant to change har ways. But at least she's thinking about it.

I turn to the vampire. -"Then you, Now I apologise in advance, cause with you might sound very harsh." -"If you have to be then you have to be." -"Humans used to be a source of food, A livestock we could say, Am I right?" -"Yes, and you are still a source of food." -"How eager you would be to meet someone, who would think that you are a source of food, or that you are livestock?" She didnt answer, but I could see how irritated she was about the question. -"Yes I know, that was harsh, but it had to be said. But thankfully I know that there is some people, althuogh rare, that get turned on by the idea of bloodsucking. I only brought this up to make clear that you most likely have the least amount of potential husbands. How ever a man that is worthy most likely can live with it, even if he hates the idea. -"Then to the main issue, Excluding this table, How many nobles you see around here. she takes a look around -"Doesnt seem to be any." -"See any interesting men out here?" -"Couple, maybe." -"Let's for the moment think that they are nobles, and you are just an average human girl, you have nothing special to offer them, in fact you might be quite bad at many things they excel. And they most likely think that you are way above you, Would you dare to approach them? -"Ah, I see what you are going for, but I have to protect myself from the sun, it makes me so weak." -"Weak, like a human?" -"Yes, weaker than most men" -"I would say that many men would be glad to help someone who is both attractive to them, and weaker than them. One thing that is concidered a strenght is showing ones own weakness. Also, I'm not saying that you should start prancing around in a bikini, but you would become much easier to approach if men would see you as an equal. -"I think I see what you mean, I have to think about it."

With that done, I turn to the lilim. -"Allright. you will be the hardest one for me, as I know relatively little about your kind. But I sence that you are incredibly strong, because since you arrived I have been fighting not to surrender myself to you, as your very precence gets me all hot and bothered. the worst part of it is that it most definitely isn't love, and that's why I havn't really even looked at you since you arrived here. Only thing that I can say is look around, and use your insticts, and forget what your family might say. sooner or later you find a man, that can admit that he loves you not because what you are, but for who you are."

After as I have explaned the difficulties from human perspective, they thanked me, and we went our seperate ways

Nearly a year later, I had allready almost forgotten the evening, and I hadnt seen thm since, when I suddenly got an invitation to a huge quodruple wedding ceremony. I didn't know any of the names, but it was held in an old castle, and I knew that most vampires of this region lived there. Could it be? actually it must be.

On the day of the ceremony I arrive to the castle, and I had predicted right. They all had found their mates, and the four of them were very grateful for me. After the ceremonies had ended they all came to me, they had noticed that I came alone, and asked could they help me with that. I sighed, and answered -"It is actually my small problem, There is this girl I have been looking for a good while, well 6 years allready, but I never had the courage to go to talk to her." -"Is she here today?" the lilim asks. -"Yes, she is, This is the very same issue you had, althuogh exactly opposite, I dont feel worthy of her time." -"Who is she?" they all ask almost at the same time. I nod towards a small group where is couple men, A Griffon, A Centaur, and Apophis are talking with eachothers.

Well, Me and the Griffon left hand in hand from that wedding party. And the Vampire had made me swear that she get's to orginize our wedding at their castle.
