I went into the bathroom and found mom sitting naked on the edge of the bath shaving her pussy. I could see the dark line of her slit clearly through a foam of mousse. What are you doing ? I asked. Darling, she said, what does it look like I'm doing ? I didn't know you shaved down there, I said. Is there any reason why you should ? she asked. Your dad likes it. She didn't seem bothered by my watching though I'd never seen her so intimately exposed before. She seemed more concerned to make sure her pubis was totally depilated and smooth. She concentrated on scraping the crevices between her pussy lips and her thighs. I could see almost everything now. Her clit protruded slightly between her labia. Would you shave down there if daddy didn't ask you ? I asked. She laughed. What do you think ? I'd never let a man dictate to me, I told her. Darling, she sighed, you'll be absolutely amazed by what you'll do for men some day. She wiped the last of the mousse from her pubis and tested its plump flesh for smoothness as she spoke. Men regard the female body as a toy to be played with. They're like kids who expect to be spoiled. Your dad's exactly the same as the rest of them. Not that he has it all his own way. When I'm angry with him, I don't need to say anything. I just let my pubic stubble grow for a bit and he doesn't like that at all. Says it gives him a rash on his face. I admit I was a bit shocked by that revelation of what they got up to in bed but she pretended not to notice. She looked at me shrewedly, lovingly squeezing her breasts which I've always envied they're so pretty. Don't lecture me about what you wouldn't and wouldn't do for men, she said. For example, I bet you masturbate that boyfriend of yours when he wants it and that he's had his hand between your legs as well. Have you gone any further ? I must have blushed. In fact, I know I did because she waved away any need to reply. Pass me my robe darling. I'm not at all sure that I should have done this in front of you. In return, you can tell me all your secrets about Hugh (my boyfriend) and then we'll be quits.
