Genetic engineering mf oral sf mutual The many lights set into the ceiling, white, tinted slightly with halogen green, threw intersecting beams even though the air was clear, and every surface in the room threw back sharp splendent glints. The room was filled with the party. Suddenly she appeared, perfect, among the guests, and I was impaled. Her arms and legs, hands and feet had been engineered genetically to be iridescent drake-head green-black. Her feet had been surgically altered--there were no high-heeled shoes to take off: she stepped daintily, faun-like, on toeless high-heeled feet. Her torso was fish-belly translucent white, almost greenish, her breasts small, tense, and tipped with scarlet, her pubic hair sparse and pale auburn, her face pale, expressionless, with large grey-greenish eyes, her hair, fine, wisps of coral-red. In sunshine, should she ever go outside, as if she ever would, she would be freckled. At first glance she looked anachronistic, as if she were wearing thigh-boots and shoulder-length gloves of black patent leather, but then you'ld notice that the shining black fades gradually, merges seamlessly with the skin of her thighs and upper arms; and if you touched her hand, no doubt, it would be soft and warm. Other people's tastes in elective body-improvement sometimes amaze me. Courtesy demands a small improvement: it would be impolite not to have taken some trouble with one's appearance: without that there would just be ugliness and anarchy, but a certain restraint is essential, though fashions do change slowly. Today the knee-length penis is commonplace but when I had mine modified ten years ago many thought me coarse and gross. A hundred years ago they had fashion: they altered their appearance by wearing garments, pieces of cloth cut, and sewn together, shaped to to cover their bodies; and one sex, I forget which, also smeared coloured grease upon their faces. They did so, I believe, because they could not change _themselves_, only their garments, ornaments, and maquillages; but then they changed them very quickly, and one year's fashions would be quite different from those of year before and of the year to come, but even then they had the primitive beginnings of bodily modification, piercing their bodies to hang ornaments from themselves, but usually only from the earlobes or nostrils, and some, but only a few, used permanent dyes to draw crude pictures in their skins. It was only when genetic engineering developed that the possibilities for bodily modification began to be explored. At first most people sought conventional bodily perfection and we had a whole generation of uniformity, blond perfectly muscled men and women, beautiful and bland, the art of National Socialism brought to life, and perhaps it was that dulness that provoked the first flowering of the new bodies. Sexual characteristics were emphasised: the waists of women were progressively reduced, the breasts and buttocks inflated, and women's bodies, as the years passed, became more and more hourglass-like, and this too palled, because a body with a 100 inch bust above an eight inch waist is inconveniently fragile, and likewise, a man's a body with a penis needing its own trolley for support, is, after all, somewhat ungainly; and then there was the sudden recognition of the full range of possibilities. People did not have to be bipedal human beings any more: for the first time in the history of the world the zoomorphic myths were manifested in their children's flesh: there could be, and then there were centaurs and seraphim; the many-armed gods of India were embodied, and Anubis and Horus walked among us in the circus of diversity. After the first exuberance of fantasy it was discovered that parents were wise not to inflict bodyforms of too baroque a shape upon their offspring. Though it is possible in later life to make some surgical modification to the pattern set _in utero_ there are limits to what can be achieved at present, and people came to feel that parents ought not to cause the bodies of their children to depart too far from the original, natural, but by now only traditional, human form, because the extremes were not attractive to other people: the diversity of human types was not matched by a diversity of desire, and romantic extravagance and excess was succeeded by our restraint. I remember walking, while still a little boy, with my parents, one day, down a sloping street, between two rows of houses, with gaps opened where bombs had fallen, the devastation masked by weeds, fresh, green, primavernal, more beautiful than the houses in between, and there I saw the leather lady with her iridescent green and glossy face, noseless, quite featureless, and smoothly curving except for the nostrils, eyes and teeth. I remember that suddenly my shorts seemed tight. I couldn't understand it; but now I know it was my first erection. Afterwards I tried, by thinking of her, to recreate the feeling: it gave me pleasure, was exciting; but somehow I never quite discovered the orgasm so the game was not quite satisfying, and since that time I have been searching for another, solid, faceless, leather lady but in vain. She isn't there across the room, but someone else is who is close to my ideal. I stand transfixed, paralysed with desire. She must have noticed my staring because she comes towards me. She stops in front of me. 'I could see your beautiful penis and I had to come and talk to you. May I touch it?' 'Please do.' I sigh in ecstasy. She reaches for it and naturally it begins to stiffen. 'Oh, lovely,' she says, 'Sometimes these very big ones are not fully erectile.' 'Yes, I know. That's why I settled for fifteen inches. The problems seem to start at about eighteen, and they get worse the bigger you get from there. It's to do with the blood supply.' 'Only fifteen inches; it looks much bigger. It's really beautiful.' I looked at the black, glossy hand grasping the shaft, noticing that her fingers were quite nailless, and of course by this time, between flaccid and erect, the shaft was a fleshy hose, white, veined, vined, with purple blood vessels and with blue. 'Fifteen inches flaccid.' I snapped, nettled by the 'only'. 'Yes of course.' she said, turning, looking into my eyes, and smiling. By this time it had become a pharaonic column with purple-painted capital. She went down on one knee, bent her head towards its head, and looking up into my face said 'May I?' once again. I nodded, and she opened up her lips. Of course her mouth was far too small even to enclose its head, but I felt her tongue flickering over the tiny lips and the heavy, torpid, languor in my limbs. After a while she stopped. 'It's really lovely,' she said, 'but we don't want to rush things do we? What I like best about a man with an enormous penis is that he can't do any of that _really_ obscene stuff about sticking it into you anywhere: that's just out of the question if he's very big.' 'I know what you mean.' I said, thinking of other things. 'Think of it as my gesture towards feminism. Let's sit down.' I said pointing to a vacant sofa. 'Now you can carry on...' 'With the hands?' 'Of course, how else?' and there, unnoticed by the others embroiled in their own intimacies, leaning across me, clasping me within the prison bars of her interlocked fingers she slowly pumped me to ecstasy.
