Jackass

"Touch it."

"No. You touch it. It's yours."

"Is it your first time?"

Sweat drops formed along the contour of Jason's forehead. He couldn't look at Joanna eye-to-eye. "Well, I don't exactly know how to put it..."

Joanna laughed and grinned at him. "Ha! I knew it!"

Jason replied in a sour-toned voice "Call a presscon, why don't you?!"

True enough, it was indeed his first time. And it's not like he wanted it for himself. He had the blessings of his parents. As his parents had done it in the past, so must he. As the eldest son, so must he.

"Chill out, Jay. We'll do this step by step." Joanna winked as she took out the translucent sheathing for Jason's use. "Put this on. You don't want to get infected, do you?"

Jason sighed. It had to be done. He put it on with great disdain. As if doing 'it' wasn't hard enough, he had to do it while taking orders from an experienced woman. How humiliating, thought Jason.

Suddenly, Joanna grabbed back the rubbery fitting, much to Jason's shock. "You moron! How can you be so clumsy? You've ripped it!"

"I... I didn't know," said Jason in a stuttered voice.

"Well, you've put this predicament on yourself. You're just gonna have to go in without the covering."

The boy took one deep breath. Things have just gone from bad to worse.

"Now touch it. Slowly at first. Get the feel of it. Don't worry! It won't swallow your hand."

Jason nervously laid his hands on it. It felt wet and stick. And the stench was somewhat overwhelming.

"Can't we have cleaned it first at least?"

"Idiot it's supposed to be dirty down there. Always. That wasn't so bad now, was it?"

It wasn't really that bad. Just like touching a badly bruised, wet chico.

"Ok. Now, apply the lubricant so there won't be much internal lesions."

Jason got the a tube of the solution from Joanna. He squeezed it at the palm of his hands and quickly slapped it at the 'spot'.

"I SAID GENTLY, BOY!"

The young man gently rubbed the ointment at the surface. He couldn't believe what he was doing.

"Ok. That should be enough. By the way, is 'it' ready?"

The young man nodded.

"Now put it in, slowly."

Joanna put her hand on Jason's shoulderblade. "Don't worry. You're doing fine."

Jason was quite surprised. Joanna didn't sound a bit angry. Quite different from the ravenous mountain barbarian that she was a while ago. Hers was a calm voice, serene and confident. It was as if he hadn't commited all possible mistakes in the rulebook afterall! Her encouraging aura seeped into Jason.

It was time.

Jason put it in with one deep thrust.

Moaning filled the entire room. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? Jason tried to take his mind off what he was doing. He tried to picture doing something else. Like fishing in a pond. Or chopping wood. Or planting rice. Or pounding their chaffs off with a mortar.

Joanna touched Jason's cheek. "You're doing fine. Don't worry. Now push it in, all the way."

The path was narrow so the young man had to force his way in. He then felt that he was 'in'.

"Shall I release it?" asked he.

Joanna smiled. "Sure."

As Jason let go of his load, he felt good. So good. The deed was done and he had done something that he would have never imagined doing. At least not with anybody other than her.

"Ok, take it slowly out."

As commanded, Jason pulled it out. The nauseating stench nearly caused him to collapse.

"Wash your hands and don't forget to feed the animal after. His life is safe now, thanks to you. Haciendero Jason."

"Why the hell do we have to use suppository capsules?!"

The woman laughed out loud. Jason had finally learned how to give medicine to sick farm animals.

Giving the jackass a dose of its medicine is a hard job.

A hard job indeed.
