Conference Sex (or The Names Have Not Been Changed as There Are No Innocents)
I CAME FOR SOMETHING, SOMETHING BESIDES THE thousands of milling women whose faces blurred into an endless seam of white and buckwheat pancakes before they hit the grill. I came to be fried. Networking, seeing and being seen, panel speaking and audience listening won’t be enough, I thought on the plane, imagining the breasts of a former lover I knew would be there.
“Sleeze and intimacy—I want both.”
I heard and turned from the book display.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Give me a hug and let’s see how you do!” she challenged.
The whimsical face of a gray-haired woman my own age lit up as Judith calmly hung herself around me. Medium, I thought, not too hot and not too cool. She’ll do.
I was here in the middle of the country with specific orders to get laid. Orders from back home where a non-monogamous lover hoping to cure me of jealousy pain suggested, not very subtly, that I’d better even things up while out of town. I hated the matronizing tone of the order but hungered for the result.
I was looking at a photo exhibit of lesbians in World War II, when a medium-toned arm reached across my back and I felt the familiar release of muscle tension that touching brings.
“Hi Sleeze,” she said drawing out the “eeze” and not mentioning intimacy.
“Hi,” I returned, “Let’s make a date to go to the play tonight.” I hurried to get all the words out in conversational conference fashion where the most important tidbits were squeezed into fast-drawn and spoken breaths between booths and panels. I knew if we wanted to see one another we’d better make a plan.
