The Theory of Pleasure:

Simone’s Notes:

Where does sexual pleasure come from? The obvious answer is from the brain. But, to get the full answer, one has to dig deeper. Pleasure is a positive sensation. It tells us during a sexual experience nine times out of ten, “We are going to enjoy this!” The limbic system of our brains plays a powerful role in sexual arousal. Arousal acts like a narcotic drug to us all. It like to a heavy production of dopamine, the chemical that delivers pleasure to the brain. So in a sense, sex and love are drugs.

“How does this end up more difficult than it looks?” Simone asked aloud in the library in the afternoon as she rose to her feet in distress. She came to the library to get more information of sexual pleasure and where it comes from. So far, she was still coming up short. Everyone stared at her oddly. The research student looked around in awareness. “Oh,” she said flatly. “Sorry.” There everyone went back to what they were doing. Simone slowly sat back down in her chair. “I’ve got to try and be quieter here!” she thought to herself. Then, the college student remembered what Professor Collins told her. “If you feel stressed about your work,” he had said to her. “Just slow down, breathe in, and count backwards from twenty. Your jammed-up mind should be able to focus clearer by then.” Simone did so with her eyes closed. And slowly, the huge glacier in her head melted away. The college girl slowly opened her eyes. Simone looked around her books and notes for a bit. Then, an idea came to her. “I need to look at pleasure itself first!” she thought in bliss. “That way I find the answer buried underneath!” So, she opened one of the books she had previous read and got straight to work.

The spring afternoon was unusually hot today. Both, literally and metaphorically. Another woman was sitting on the steps of Central Headquarters. Her hair was dark brown to her shoulders and her eyes were a deep blue. She was slender yet had a good amount of hips and breasts to please a man for weeks. Her sliver cross necklace looked as if it was growing up of her cleavage. Her light blue tank top added attention to her lovely breasts. Her black capris did the same with her hips and shapely legs. Her black sandals were perfect on her lovely feet. She even had two silver toe rings on her feet and had her toe nails painted light green. The woman was waiting for someone here. “Where the hell is he?” she thought as she looked around.

She was debating whether or not to go inside when she heard footsteps behind her. The woman looked up and saw Andrew standing in the entry way. The lieutenant was surprised to see the woman. The woman smiled at him. “Hey you!” she exclaimed. “Haven’t seen you since this morning!” Andrew stepped closer. “Kim?” he asked in shock. “What are you doing here?” The woman rose to her feet. “Isn’t it obviously?” she asked. “I came to see you.” Andrew looked around quickly. “Where are the kids?” he asked in confusion. Kim just smiled sweetly at him. “Don’t worry,” she replied. “The boys are fine. I left them at Daisy’s house for the afternoon. So take it easy.” The lieutenant slowly began to relax. “Well,” Andrew began again. Kim waited for him to finish. Her boyfriend was a hot man. His hair was short and blackish brown. His eyes were a lovely heated amber color. The man’s uniform made him look so manly in it. Kim wanted to rush forward and kiss him wildly but knew she would get him in trouble out here for doing so.

Andrew finally held up his hand. “Fine!” he called out. “You can stay for a little while!” Kim’s sea blue eyes lit up in bliss. “Great!” she exclaimed. Then, his girlfriend rushed forward and hugged him wildly. “Uh… Kim…” Andrew said to her. “What Andy?” she asked. “You’re hugging me.” her boyfriend pointed out. “Let ‘em see us!” his girlfriend called out. “Who cares anyway?” *Sweat drop forms on Andy’s head as he lets her hug him* “She just doesn’t care at times!” he thought in distress.

A few moments later, Kim and Andrew were walking around outside headquarters. The other men were watching from inside the building. “Who is she?” Fuery asked. “That’s Kim,” Jim answered. “Andrew’s girlfriend.” “They have two kids together.” Don added. “Wow,” Fuery said. “You guys seem to get dates in the North pretty easily.” “Yep.” Don said. “Speaking of dates,” Jim said. “Havoc seems to still have his girlfriend. Hm, looks like I’ll be 20,000 cenz richer before the day is over!” The master sergeant hung his head in defeat. He yet again was going to loose another bet! “Why me?” Fuery thought in distress. The poor master sergeant hung his head in misery. He knew he would go hungry for weeks now. Don looked at his pal with shaming eyes. “Jim,” he called out. “Why did you have to go and say all of that?” His pal just shrugged innocently. “I didn’t know he was going to get upset about, Christ!” The lieutenant just shook his head and returned his attention back to the window.

Simone was writing fiercely when she felt someone lightly tap her on the shoulder. Startled, she quickly leapt up and turned around. Dr. Howard stood in front of her smiling. The research student began to calm down slowly. “Oh, Dr. Howard,” she breathed out. “It’s only you!” The doctor lightly hushed her. “Yes,” she said. “I only came to see how you were doing.” “Oh.” Simone said softly to her. “Here.” Then, she handed the doc her binder. Howard read over the notes carefully. The college girl waited in anticipation. The doctor handed back the black and red binder to Simone. “Well,” the research student asked. “How is it now?” Dr. Howard smiled. “Good,” she replied. “Now, I think you need to take a break now.” Simone looked at her as she was being crushed. “What?” the research student asked in shock. Dr. Howard just smiled at her. “Simone,” she said calmly. “You’ll overwork yourself to death. Just take a little break for a while to clear your head and recollect your thoughts.” “But…” the research student started to argue. “What about my work?” The doctor kept smiling at her. “Don’t worry,” she reassured. “Your work will be fine when you get back. Now, come on, you need to eat.” And before Simone could argue another word, the doctor took her by the hand and dragged her away. Simone hung her head in defeat. “She’s just like Professor Colins!” she thought with a huge sweat drop on her head.

By now, most of the men of the military were crowded around the window. Mustang was walking past them when he noticed. Curious, he walked over to the window to investigate. That’s when he saw Kim. She was sitting outside waiting for Andrew. The woman was a lovely site. The sun shined on her beautiful glossy hair. She was slightly licking her sliver cross. The men inside were having fantasies about her. “I want her to lick me like that,” one of the men was saying. “Get in line, buddy!!!” another one said. The lust fest went on for hours. “HEY!!!!” someone called out. All of the men looked up. One of the higher ups was standing in the door way. He didn’t look like a happy camper. Nobody seemed to be doing anything all of a sudden and he was wondering why. “What the hell is going on he…” he began. The man didn’t finish his sentence because he too was locked into Kim’s beauty and walking closer to get a better look at her. This is the same thing that happens when Daisy comes by to eat lunch with Daisy. The North women just had that much power over men of both groups.

Simone and Dr. Howard were eating lunch at an Asian-style restaurant near the library. Everyone else there was staring at the neat-freak way Simone had all of her eating utensils were arranged. She even measured how much soy sauce she poured out from the container. The girl had arranged her napkin straight many times just to have it the way the etiquette books had it. Dr. Howard couldn’t help but to laugh every time Simone got frustrated as she messed up. “Well, Professor Colins was right,” she thought to herself. “She is entertaining to watch her at times.” When she was done, Simone looked around for the right chopsticks to eat her sushi with. After a few seconds with that, she started eating.

“So,” Dr. Howard began. “How long have you been OCD?” “Since I was in junior high.” Simone answered. “I see,” the doctor replied. “Have you done anything to improve?” Simone looked up from her meal. “Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t,” she answered. “But I am better than when I first was.” “Interesting.” Dr. Howard said. “I use my condition to help with my work.” the research student went on. “I see,” the doctor said. “How are you on your work so far?” “Great!” Simone chirped. “All of my introductions are finished!” “So now you are ready for real observations?” Dr. Howard asked. “YES!!!” the college girl exclaimed. Her mentor smiled in pride at her. “Well then,” she said. “I have the perfect where for you to start!” Simone’s eyes lit up in delight. “Really?” she asked. “Where?” Dr. Howard kept smiling at her. “You’ll see by tomorrow,” she replied. “But right, finish your meal. It’s a reward hard all of your hard work so far.” Simone smiled at her in new ambition. “Alright.” she agreed as she tried to stay calm. Then, the girl went back to eating her big lunch. Dr. Howard to sat there and watched her eat. She couldn’t wait to see Simone’s work at the end of the year.
