Weekends at Bernie's

Things changed in the Menard family routine as summer wore into autumn. Gary had moved in with his girlfriend, Naomi Bernice "Bernie" Bernstein, into a two-bedroom apartment near college. Gary and Bernie had one bedroom.

The other bedroom was Lillian's. Lil had followed her brother, and was starting at a community college near Gary and Bernie's college. This was the final year for Gary and Bernie, if they stayed on track for their degrees.

Lil's classes weren't every day, and her part-time job was in the afternoons, so it didn't really matter for where she stayed. She stayed over at the apartment before classes, and went home to Hank and Veevee sometimes.

Weekends were where the new house rules applied. And usually those were weekends at Bernie's, or rather weekends at her mom Joyce's house.

Joyce was an author, famous for her book Free to Masturbate, which Gary and Lil had had as an "abstinence" text in secondary school, after Joyce's editor and publisher had seen a huge market in pitching her book as a textbook. The proceeds from the book had let Joyce Bernstein add a pool and spa behind her house, and to remodel it for her Women's Pleasure Circles, an experiential workshop series expanding on the principles of her book, and extending it toward mutual pleasure and touch.

Joyce's house rules were that nudity was required, masturbation was encouraged, and partner sex was appreciated, with prior arrangement for time, place, set-up, and clean-up.

Saturday mornings, Gary and Bernie would wake up at Joyce's and start the day with the three of them masturbating together in Joyce's living room. Joyce encouraged Gary and Bernie to have sex where she could watch, and sometimes Joyce was a full participant.

Sunday afternoons, Hank and Veevee would go to Joyce's, and under the house rules they had agreed with Bernie earlier, anyone could have sex with anyone else. Or rather, in particular, Gary could have sex with Veevee, Joyce, or Lil, as long as Bernie was there to agree, to watch, and maybe to participate.

Bernie's rules were, "No hiding sex. No sneaking around for sex. Gary can watch or masturbate if anyone else is having sex if I'm not there. But if Gary's going to have sex with someone else, I have to be there. Or we have to plan and agree."

Later on she'd allowed Gary to have sex with Hank whenever they liked, because Bernie was a casual but frequent sex partner with Joyce.

For each of them, the weekends at Bernie's gave them a chance to get comfortable with a habit they hadn't been comfortable with, or hadn't even considered.

For Bernie, it was being open about enjoying multiple male partners.

Week by week, Bernie got more comfortable and confident with male sex partners, particularly being watched with Gary and with Hank. Hank was playful and gentle, and Bernie liked being appreciated in his way, calm and patient, like a favored guest, while being amused that Hank's connection with Veevee was passionate and humorous, and surprised at how easy Hank and Gary were with each other.

For Joyce, it was about reclaiming heterosexual intercourse, giving and receiving, including pegging Gary and Hank to orgasm.

At first for Joyce, having two ready male partners that Naomi had brought into her life was a novelty, a gift. She indulged in heterosexual fucking as an uncomplicated sexual pleasure, a lazy enjoyment for Joyce where the male was invariably satisfied with her as a sexual object perhaps getting an orgasm, perhaps not. Watching Gary and Hank enjoy anal intercourse together sparked a new thrill. Joyce had the equipment to join them as an equal in giving and receiving. It was wonderful to strap on an L-shaped dildo and have Gary or Hank shuddering under her thrusts and crying out as his seed spurted through her fist. And having Gary or Hank tremble and moan as he ejaculated through Joyce's stretched anal ring, that was an intensely emotional and sensual reward. Men could be surprisingly fun!

Joyce appreciated that her daughter was really making an effort to be generous with Gary, and she intended her sexual connections with her daughter's boyfriend to help Naomi and Gary be more intimate and trusting with each other, while encouraging Naomi to honor her essentially lesbian nature, to indulge it with Veevee and Lillian, and for Naomi, ah, Bernie, to refill it from her mother's wellspring.

For Gary, it was Bernie's support. With her there, he had nothing to hide.

The biggest change for Gary was that he started looking forward to his dad and mom as regular sex partners, at this weird little house party almost every Sunday. Joyce steadily encouraged Gary to keep up the connection with his father, and vocally admired Gary and Hank during sex, cheering whenever Gary had an orgasm, or gave his father one. With Joyce's encouragement, and with Bernie and Veevee's friendly attention, Gary really looked forward to part of Sunday afternoons as pure fun, dicks-out with dad. And more Sundays than not, to Mom getting him on her dance card. He still didn't know how he felt, really, but for now, it was precious. Who knew how long that would be a thing? Though if Gary's friend Peter had it right, maybe sex with dad and mom would be permanent, as much as anything could be. And every Sunday evening, Bernie would tell Gary how good it had been to watch him, to see him give and take pleasure, and to come home together.

For Lil, it was being welcome to be at the parties, in sexual space, with no expectations or demands.

Lil wasn't there every Sunday, but she slowly got comfortable with being part of the group, mostly as an observer. At first tentative, then friendly, and then, with Joyce's encouragement, Lil was happy to cheer on the others and touch herself while watching. Weird, but mostly good. Joyce picked out a new vibrator for Lil, and showed Lil some new tricks. Sunday parties were a sometime thing for Lil, but she got to be a regular at Joyce's Saturday morning masturbation circle, alongside Gary and Bernie, starting the day jilling herself off with the others and occasionally Joyce's guests.

For Veevee, it was a sexual candy store and show-off stage she didn't expect.

Veevee reveled in this new almost-weekly habit, Sunday morning at church followed by a Sunday afternoon sex party where her big-dicked son was a star, with a small, approving circle cheering Veevee on while she showed off her taboo connection with her son. The other part of the candy store was enjoying the exotic turn-on of regular sex with fat, hairy, anal-erotic lesbians. Or so Joyce called herself and her daughter. Veevee wasn't going to complain that Joyce and Bernie weren't very much lesbians if they were getting more dick than many straight girls. They liked to play with Veevee, and well, two natural-born dicks was a little lacking for Veevee's notion of a party, so store-bought was fine. Joyce even taught Veevee how to strap it on for more than casually showing off, including ways how to get off when you were the one with the strap-on.

Hank and Veevee's longtime swinging partner Sally Walker was pretty keen on Veevee demonstrating Joyce's strap-on lessons on her, and for her. Peggy Wise, a younger regular at Sally's swinging parties, was another strap-on fan, especially of the same L-shaped model Joyce liked, and had some tips for Veevee.

This was their weekly routine, from the end of summer through fall and toward winter.
