Kiss of Fire:

Simone’s Notes:

Sexology is the study of sexual interests, behavior, and function. In modern sexology, researchers apply tools from several academic fields, including biology, medicine, psychology, statistics, epidemiology, pedagogics, sociology, anthropology, and criminology. It studies sexual development and the development of sexual relationships as well as the mechanics of sexual intercourse and sexual malfunction. It also documents the sexualities of special groups, such as handicapped, children, and elderly, and studies sexual pathologies such as sex addiction and child sexual abuse. Sexology is often been the subject of controversy when its research findings contradict the philosophical or sacred beliefs of others. A number of ancient sex manuals exist, including Ovid's Ars Amatoria, the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, the Ananga Ranga and The Perfumed Garden for the Soul's Recreation. However, none of these treat sex as the subject of a formal field of scientific or medical research. One of the earliest sex researchers prior to the 20th century sexology movement was Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing, whose book Psychopathia Sexualis, published in 1886, recorded a dizzying array of sexual anomalies. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sigmund Freud developed a theory of sexuality based on his studies of his clients. Wilhelm Reich and Otto Gross, were disciples of Freud, but rejected by him because of their emphasis of the role of sexuality for the revolutionary struggle for the emancipation of mankind.

Sex. It had taken over Ametris like a plague. People became more and more swept into their desires. Brothels and sex shops began popping up all over the place. More affairs and infidelity doubled over time. Singles bars got more business than they normally did. Some marriages started crumble in the process. The love deities had so much work on their hands. The Red Jasmine virus began spreading and evolving too quickly. It began to reach its final stages of development. More women began turning up pregnant. Incubi had been shagging them left and right. Even more incubi and succubi began to appear as well. But what could they do? The problem had grown out of control at this point. Where could they even start? The answer didn’t matter. Everyone knew that they had to do something or else the Fallen World would reign supreme in the end. Thus, back to work again.

But, the love deities weren’t the only ones with problems. Damon Sanders wandered the rainy December streets of the city. He had began his journey of a hopeless case. He left Carol last month. The man had rented a small cramped apartment outside of the city. Work became swamped with tracking Edward and finding the Fallen Ones before they could kill again. Micah had been asking about him for days now. Ginny refused to talk to him or return his calls. And to top it off, his own desires were increasing. He tried his best to fight them, but they wouldn’t quit this time. He didn’t know what to do with himself.

Meanwhile, Manami handed out the assignments to her incubi and succubi. Her birthday was coming up soon. And what better way to celebrate than some brilliant plans to bring the Fallen World. But first, there had to be some minor adjustments to be made. Her flock sat around her waiting for her to speak.

“Okay,” she said. “First order, the prophets.” The Fallen Ones glared at those words. They all had so many obstacles, but Irene and Alessia were the biggest problems. They needed to be killed. Manami looked out at the right people to that little task. Selection was made without thinking.

“Edward, you take care of Irene-san,” the Fallen princess ordered. “Mayuka get the kid!”

“Yes ma’am!” the alchemist told her.

“Got it!” the succubus answered.

“Good!” Manami replied. “Next up is to round up the infected population with mother’s poison in them.” They all knew that included Damon. Manami smiled at them all.

“Seduce them, threaten them, bribe them,” she said. “Just pull any way to come to our side!”

“Right!” they all yelled to her.

“Succubi!” Manami addressed the female slaves. “I have found a way for to reproduce.” The women all become excited.

“Ooo how?” Little Iris asked. Manami smiled at them wickedly.

“You will see in six hours time!” she promised. The girls all became excited. The boys waited for their news on babies. Manami smiled at them.

“I haven’t forgotten!” she said. “Just screw and reproduce!”

“Yeah!!!!” the boys yelled out. Manami smiled at them wickedly.

“That is all!” she announced. “Go out and do your work!” The Fallen Ones all scattered out to their missions. Manami smirked to herself and descended down to do the same thing.

Damon looked into the window of a new sex shop. Such a sad sight to see. Sanders shook his head to himself and forced himself to walk on. Pathetic, really. He couldn’t afford to stoop so low again. He already moved out and left Carol. He had to. The man couldn’t afford to hurt his wife all over again. She deserved much better than him. He sometimes wondered what she saw in him in the first place. His looks sat in the middle of attraction and turn-off city. Sure Damon could be described as a nice guy, but he had a weak will at times. His weak will got him into this mess in the first place. But this time, Damon decided to fight and beat this old inner monster once and for all. However as it is already known, Manami had plans for him otherwise.

Damon was beginning to go home for the night when a stranger bumped right into him. The soldier looked up startled right away.

“Oh I’m so sorry!” he called out loud to the person. But when he looked up, the col. saw that he was all alone. *Sweat drop as he hangs his head in misery* “Oh great!” Sanders thought. “I’m starting to see things now! I’m really losing it now!” But then, Damon reached into his pockets and felt some foreign piece of paper sitting in them. He reached it and pulled it right out. The man had a small piece of folded red paper in his hand. Damon quickly opened it up. What he found shocked him pale and speechless.

The paper was an invitation to Kiss of Fire. Kiss of Fire was a famous Burlesque club. Hot girls to satisfy all needs of the clients to enter. Damon shook his head hard at the content. He hoped that he was dreaming. Sadly, no. The invitation to Kiss of Fire was still in his hands. Temptation came ready-made for him once again. “No, not again!” he thought in misery. Instinct told him to throw it away and run like Hell. But, something just wouldn’t let him do it. Sanders stared at the card for a long time. He couldn’t move. “Throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away and run!” his mind screamed over and over again. “This is what got you in trouble in the first place. It’s poison. Throw it away now!” But, that’s not what happened. Damon ended up being the invitation to Kiss of Fire in his pocket and hurrying away there.

Manami watched from above smirking at Damon’s losing battle. “He’s taken the bait!” she thought. The Fallen Princess followed him all the way to the club. “Don’t worry Damon!” Manami thought to him. “You will come to love your new sexual freedom once again! Only a matter of time…”
