You don't need to do it that often, at least. And you needn't go all the way with someone, you can do a lot with just your hands.

[softheartedshizun]

If only you could do it alone.

[apothecrazy]

The best you could do, in that case, is to have someone on the other end of a call.

[softheartedshizun]

That's the sort of thing desperate loners do who desperately want to jack off but need someone to talk them up to it because they lack their own imagination.

There is a bit of a... negative connotation attached to it....

[apothecrazy]

There is?

[ That's news to her. ]

[softheartedshizun]

Generally, people who one might consider... a creep, might frequent such services.

[apothecrazy]

I see.

I don't think that mattes much here. Everyone is going to have their methods for playing the game, right?

[softheartedshizun]

Yes.

It's still embarrassing though.

[apothecrazy]

That's just something you'll have to push past if you don't want to repeat what happened.

I could suggest some books if you'd like.

[softheartedshizun]

What kind of books?

[apothecrazy]

Some that might help give you some ideas.

Unless you already read smut from time to time.

[softheartedshizun]

I've read so many books with such scenes that I skip them because they're boring and all the same. Contrived wife plots over and over and protagonists that collect hundreds and thousands of wives.

I wonder why such content is popular with men, while women's media will not have such an overabundance of said trash.

They do have their own questionable tropes, however.

[apothecrazy]

Ah, well, then I won't bother.

Perhaps you could look into some of the books that explain various positions and acts instead. Those have been very helpful in the rear palace.

[softheartedshizun]

I've read some things that show positions and acts....

[ He should not consider his sister's toxic BL as a good reference. ]

[apothecrazy]

Instructional books?

[softheartedshizun]

Not exactly.

[apothecrazy]

Then I would suggest a few.
I know for a fact there are a few that resemble books from home to be found in the library.

[softheartedshizun]

Doesn't reading instructional manuals sort of take away the sense of discovery and fooling around all youth engage in?

[apothecrazy]

Perhaps, but I think it's better when people are prepared and know what to expect. That way no one is scared of what's to come during the act.

Plus, isn't it more fun to surprise someone with a bit of knowledge they might not have expected of you?

[softheartedshizun]

I could see the appeal when there's someone specific you want to surprise.

[apothecrazy]

It's helpful when you're taking on clients, or in this case, random encounters.

[softheartedshizun]

Brothel girls really are the strongest out there.

[apothecrazy]

I think the concubines are stronger.

[ To be touched by the Emporer is to be bound to the rear palace for life. ]

[softheartedshizun]

Maybe, but politics are politics and in the end a powerful concubine is a clever politician.

They feel very different even if they may have aspects similar.

[apothecrazy]

[ She won't deny that if a concubine knows how to play their cards right she'll find herself in a position of power. But that power can be tenuous. ]

Perhaps, but should the Emporer favor them for even a night, they belong to the palace until the day they die.
Courtesans, however, are only beholden to their contract. Once it's up or bought out they're free.

To live your life knowing you may never see beyond the walls of the rear palace has to be maddening for some.

[ And, indeed, it is. As she'll find out in the near future. ]

So to stay strong with that knowledge in mind is truly admirable.
