Perfectly normal

"Wrong? Nope." Xander answered.

Internally rationalizing the idea of Joyce as a porn star. A woman had to work to feed her family and some jobs just paid more than others... and required less, uh, refrences... and working less but getting paid more wasnt a crime... it was actually pretty smart... and exploiting natural, uh, tendencies was, uhm... well you had to at least like the job you did.

Getting up and brushing himself off Xander gave Buffy a confident smile. "Everything is perfectly normal. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Nothing to worry yourself about. Nothing at all. All is as all was and all was okay."

Buffy gave him a disbelieving look, "uh huh."

Xander just kept smiling at Buffy.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"Soooo... feel like telling me any other secrets? I promise confidentiality. And also that telling me your secrets will feel awesome. A total weight off your shoulders. Metaphorically speaking. " Xander gave her an expectant look.

Buffy gave him a sizing up. Looking him up and down for a second. And then siddled closer to him and in a softer voice said. "Ok. So... mom started stripping because she took those stripper classes to save her marriage to Dad. Well, in an attempt to spice up the marriage they also filmed a... 'home movie' about a horny stripper and her favorite guy, get me?"

Xander nodded.

"Well, during the divorce dad showed it to his lawyer for some stupid reason and... it leaked and things happened, the movie got around. And one of the people who saw it was a porn star. She saw Mom in the tape and decided she should approach Mom about an exciting new career opportunity." Buffy sighed.

"And while it might not be as glamorous as Hollywood Blockbuster..." Buffy shrugged, "It's really an easy job, apparently. And for a day or two of apparently 'enjoyable' work Mom can get paid a couple grand. Five grand for a weekend of work is nothing to sneeze at you know? Same deal as her stripping work. A jobs a job and every little bit helps."

Xander nodded his head. That was pretty much what he had thought. He did winde tho... He quitely asked. "Enjoyable?"

Buffy let out a small goan. "It's still sex, Xander. And sex feels good if you are doing it right."

"And your mom does it right?"

"Xanderrrr!" Buffy warned.

He held up his hand, "I'm just saying I dont want your mom to be... doing something uncomfortable. You hear stories about bad things happening in porn. I just want the best for Joyce. Im not saying your mom is a raging Nympho just that she enjoys sex."

Buffy gave him a brief fleeting smile, "Thanks, Xand." She cleared her thoat, "And, yeah, apparently she enjoys it most of the time. She has a pretty healthy sex appetite. Okay?" Buffy asked.

"Okay with me." Xander said nonchalantly. "Doesnt make no nevermind to me, Buff. Joyce being a near nympho whose hot to trot, so to speak, is A-Okay.""

"Good." Buffy said with a firm head bob. "Cause it shouldn't. My Mom is awesome."

"That she is. Joyce is bad ass in everywhich way a woman can be badass." Xander agreed.

"Damn straight." Buffy chirped.

More bad ass then he could have possibly imagined, it seemed. Xander chortled. And it did make him wonder like Mother like Daughter?
