He laughed softly. "Lalaki at babae?"
"Malamang. Why are we having this conversation? Please, don't tell me na first time mo rin 'to kasi hindi ako maniniwala."
"Bakit naman hindi?"
"You're a virgin?"
He shook his head grinning. "No."
"So, what's with the questions—are you naked?"
"It's our honeymoon. Did you expect me to wear pajamas to bed?"
"Pero, naka-boxers ka naman, 'di ba?"
"It's for you to find out." He winked.
I huffed and he laughed.
"Tell me, what was the porn you watched all about?"
I opened my mouth to give him a cutting comeback but realized that I could buy time if I started talking. "Well...wala namang plot..." I began to say.
"It's porn, Sweetheart, wala talaga 'yung plot. But, go on."
"Well, she was a real estate agent and he was a possible client."
"Hm..."
"So, she was showing him around the house that she was trying to sell. He seemed interested although he made some side comments about the pool. He said it's too tiny. But then she showed him the jacuzzi and he loved it. Then they got to the bedroom and he said that he didn't like the view at all because it was facing a neighbor's window."
"Fascinating. So, magkakatabi ang mga bahay d'un?"
"It wasn't shown at all."
"What happened next?"
"She started begging that she needed the sale or else she's going to lose her job and the man said something along the lines of, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to show this house to someone else and hope that they'll be interested enough to buy it. And then she said she'll do whatever he wants, she just really wants this sale."
And what did the guy say?"
"He said that he's very easy to please..."
"And...?" He placed a hand on my hip.
I tried to stop myself from squirming. But, he must still have sensed my discomfort because he moved closer to kiss me on the forehead. "Sweetheart, I am your husband. What's the worst thing that I could do to you in bed?"
"Um..."
"Wala, 'di ba? Whatever you and I decide to do inside the bedroom, nothing's going to happen if you aren't comfortable. Ituloy mo kuwento mo."
"Well...he took his pants off and sort of asked her to make him hard."
"Okay, before you have whatever kind of twisted notion about sex inside that pretty head of yours, I want to tell you that it isn't as outrageous as it's being portrayed in porn. Porn is created basically for men to jerk off. Men are not stimulated emotionally, we use our eyes and our ears. So, porn is basically legs, boobs, genitals, and a whole lot of moaning. And believe me, that's not how it is in real life."
He sounded so serious that it made her laugh.
"What?" he asked.
"You are one determined man, ano? Isipin mo, here you are lecturing your new wife about sex because you want to get laid tonight."
"Effective ba?"
"Pag-iisipan ko."
"Hindi na pinag-iisipan ang mga gan'yang bagay."
