Dr. Stone Tells Sue The Only Way To Control Her Desires Is To Act On Them

"So embarrassing," Sue Storm said. The Invisible Woman hadn't even sat down, but paced back and forth in Dr. Stone's office. "And dangerous! I jeopardized the entire mission! Someone could have gotten hurt or died, all because I was too...too...flustered! It can't happen again! I can't afford that kind of mistake when lives are on the line!"

The blonde heroine grabbed her upper arms and rubbed them, unable to stop her mind from buzzing.

Dr. Stone sipped her tea and watched her patient calmly.

"Have you been continuing with those exercises we talked about?" the psychiatrist said.

"I've frigged myself raw," Sue said, and one hand dropped down to instinctively cup her labia, before she caught herself. "It's not enough! It's not..."

Dr. Stone held up a hand, then indicated the chair in front of her.

"Susan. Sit, please. There's a time and a place to work out these frustrations physically. But right now, we need to talk about the psychology behind these desires," Dr. Stone said calmly.

With a frown, Sue turned sharply and sank into the seat. The psychiatrist didn't need her degree to see that the heroine was on edge. Cold calculations happened behind her eyes, as she tried to work out the best way to work this crisis into her own designs. Sue almost radiated nervous energy as Dr. Stone finished her tea and set the cup down next to the pot.

"When we started discussing the stress you were experiencing," Dr. Stone said. "I warned you that this is a process. Results do not come automatically. There's no magic wand I can wave and make you better. I can't put you into a hypnotic trance and convince you to forget your desires. However, if you are experiencing episodes...we might consider other options."

"Other options?" Sue said, hopefully.

Dr. Stone nodded. "This approach would be twofold. A course of medication to assist you through the worst of your episodes, and more intense exercises to act on your desires."

Sue blinked. "Act...but I've been masturbating while watching porn about cheat—mmmh!"

The Invisible Woman's face flushed as she bent over in the chair, both hands pressed against her crotch. Dr. Stone kept her face carefully neutral, even as a slight blush bloomed on her own cheeks.

"Susan—the only way to control your desires is to act on them. I'm not telling you to have an affair," Dr. Stone paused to see if the word had any effect on Sue, but the Invisible Woman didn't respond to it. Which meant that the keyword was still very specific. "But obviously you need much more sexual release than you are getting. Which means you need to intensify your evening sessions. Are you using any sexual toys or aids?"

Sue blinked, shocked.

"I thought not. I want you to go out tonight and buy a sex toy. Something as far from your husband's genitalia as you can find. It'll help you to mentally visualize yourself cheating on him," Dr. Stone said.

Sue groaned as her face blushed crimson. The heroine was clearly on edge, near tears. Dr. Stone took a conciliatory tone, reached over, and pulled a bottle of pills from a desk drawer.

"Here. I'll get you a formal prescription next time, but for right now, I want you to take one of these with each meal. If anyone asks, it's a multivitamin. But it's an anti-libidinal compound that should keep your desires under control—as long as you work hard at night to achieve sexual release."

Which you won't achieve, Dr. Stone mused, and Sue Storm gratefully took the bottle of pills.
