Author’s Notes: Dear XP, I have a new story, based on my defense published at the beginning of September. See if readers can guess the additional inspiration.
Saint Catherine’s – Theology of the Body
Sister Elena’s office smelled of beeswax and the particular salt-sweet tang of female arousal. The late afternoon sun filtered through the blinds in horizontal bars, striping her desk and the computer monitor where a video played in high definition — a woman kneeling on a bed, legs spread wide, three fingers buried deep in her glistening sex, frigging herself with the desperate intensity of a penitent seeking absolution. The audio was low but audible: the wet slap of flesh, the sharp gasps, the whispered litany of yes, yes, like that, holy, holy.
Sister Elena sat in her ergonomic chair, her habit rucked up around her waist, her left hand gripping the armrest while her right hand worked between her legs. Her white silk panties remained in place, pulled tight against her sex, and she was frigging herself through the fabric with hard, circular strokes, her eyes fixed on the screen where the performer’s clitoris stood erect and throbbing beneath her frantic fingers. The silk was already darkening with saturation, clinging to her folds, creating a wet friction that built with each stroke.
The door opened. Clara and Maya entered, their uniforms immaculate—skirts hemmed to mid-thigh, blouses thin enough that the late light rendered them translucent, showing the dark circles of their nipples pressing against the cotton. They carried their theology notebooks, their faces open and expectant.
Sister Elena did not stop. She turned her head slightly, acknowledging them with a nod, her fingers never breaking rhythm. The wet sounds continued, unmistakable and rhythmic, the silk making soft squelching sounds as her fingers rubbed through it.
“Sister,” Clara began, “We had a question about the essay on the Song of Songs —”
“One moment,” Sister Elena gasped, her hips lifting off the chair. She was close. She could feel the pressure building, the divine tension coiling at the base of her spine. She turned back to the screen, to the image of the woman’s fingers blurring as she brought herself to the edge, and Sister Elena matched her pace, frigging herself harder through the soaked silk, faster, her knuckles pressing the fabric against her pubic bone.
Maya stepped closer, watching with scholarly interest.
“She’s using the two-fingered approach,” Maya observed quietly. “The pressure on the anterior wall.”
“Yes,” Sister Elena panted. “Optimal for … for G-spot stimulation … ah …”
Her body went rigid. The orgasm crashed through her like a wave breaking against stone. She cried out — a sharp, guttural sound that echoed off the office walls — and her hips bucked against her hand, her fingers pressing the wet silk hard against her clit, rubbing frantically as the contractions pulsed through her sex. She shuddered, her head falling back, her habit slipping off one shoulder to reveal the flushed skin beneath, her hand still working through the fabric as she came in her panties, the white silk turning dark and glistening with the evidence of her release.
When she finally stilled, her chest heaving, she opened her eyes to find the girls smiling at her.
“Beautiful orgasm, Sister,” Clara said sincerely. “The intensity was evident in your abdominal contractions.”
“And you came so fully in your panties,” Maya added, nodding at the dark, saturated patch spreading across the white silk, visible where Sister Elena’s hand still rested against her sex. “That’s a deep offering—to frig yourself through the fabric and let it soak in. That’s true devotion.”
Sister Elena smiled, her breathing slowly returning to normal. She adjusted her habit with one hand while the other remained pressed against her wetness through the panties, feeling the aftershocks ripple through her and the warm wetness pooling against her skin.
“Thank you, my daughters. The video is new — from the Soma Collective’s ‘Solitary Prayers’ series. Highly recommended for your evening studies.” She paused, then gestured to their notebooks. “Your essay question?”
“We were wondering if we should focus on the botanical metaphors or the anatomical descriptions,” Clara said.
“Anatomical,” Sister Elena replied, her voice steady now. “The text is erotic scripture, not pastoral poetry. Be specific. Use the words the text uses — breasts, thighs, the sweet juice of the pomegranate. God is not embarrassed by precision, and neither should you be.”
“Thank you, Sister,” Maya said. They turned to leave, then paused at the door. “Will you be at the Hour of Adoration?”
“Of course,” Sister Elena said, her fingers beginning to move again, slowly now, tracing her still-sensitive flesh through the soaked silk. “I’ll see you there. Now close the door, please. I have another fifteen minutes before Vespers.”
The girls closed the door behind them, and Sister Elena turned back to her screen, to the woman who was building toward a second climax, and began to frig herself again through her wet panties with steady, devotional strokes.
The chapel was cool and dim, the sanctuary lamp burning its steady red point above the tabernacle. Father Julian moved through the space with the grace of long practice, arranging the monstrance on the altar, adjusting the white cloth that draped the sacred vessel, ensuring that the host would be visible to all who knelt in prayer. He wore his cassock properly buttoned, his stole draped around his neck, his movements precise and liturgical.
The girls of Saint Catherine’s entered in silence, genuflecting toward the tabernacle before finding their places in the pews. They knelt properly, backs straight, hands folded, their uniforms still showing the dark shadows of their nipples through the thin blouses, but their posture was reverent, attentive. This was the Hour of Adoration, the time set aside for contemplation of the divine presence, and the chapel demanded a different kind of attention than the office or the dorm.
Father Julian turned to face the congregation, raising his hands in the traditional orans position. “The Lord be with you,” he intoned.
“And with your spirit,” the girls responded.
“May Almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
“Amen.”
He lowered his hands and gestured to the kneelers. “We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.”
The silence descended, heavy and sweet. For twenty minutes, the only sounds were the creak of wood, the rustle of fabric, and the soft whisper of breathing. The girls prayed, their minds turning to the mystery of the Incarnation—the Word made flesh, the flesh made holy. Some fingered their rosaries, the beads clicking softly. Others simply knelt, their eyes fixed on the monstrance, their hearts engaged in silent conversation with the divine.
Then Sister Elena rose from her place in the front pew. She had changed her panties after her office session, but she could still feel the lingering warmth of her earlier devotions, the pleasant ache in her muscles and the memory of the wet silk clinging to her. She walked to the lectern set to the side of the altar and opened her breviary—not to pray, but to teach.
“Today,” she said, her voice carrying in the acoustics of the stone chapel, “We speak of sexual purity.”
The girls shifted slightly, their attention sharpening.
“The world teaches that purity is absence,” Sister Elena continued. “That to be pure is to be untouched, unaroused, empty of desire. But the Church — the true Church, the Church of the body and the blood — teaches that purity is fullness. That purity is the proper ordering of desire toward its divine end.”
She closed the breviary, her hands resting on the wood.
“Masturbation is essential to sexual purity,” she said plainly. “The body produces arousal — horniness, to use the vulgar term — as a pressure that demands release. If we suppress this, if we deny the gift of our sexuality, we create blockage, distortion, obsession. The impure thoughts that plague the celibate are not caused by masturbation, but by the lack of it.”
She walked to the edge of the sanctuary, her habit swaying.
“When you frig yourselves — daily, at least twice daily — you are not defiling yourselves. You are cleansing the temple. You are releasing the pressure that would otherwise build into fantasy, into compulsion, into sin. The orgasm is the valve that keeps the boiler from exploding. It is the necessary discharge that allows the mind to remain clear, the heart to remain open, and the spirit to remain focused on God.”
A girl in the third row shifted, pressing her knees together. Sister Elena noticed and smiled.
“Pornography,” she continued, “Is a blessing in this regard. The visual stimulation — the sight of men wanking their erect flesh, of women frigging their wet sex — provides the arousal necessary for the offering. We are visual creatures. God made us to respond to beauty, to the sight of the body in ecstasy. When we use pornography to arouse ourselves, to make ourselves horny for the act of self-pleasure, we are using the gifts of creation as they were intended. We are filling our minds with images of joy, of consent, of the body glorified, so that when we touch ourselves, we touch ourselves with holy intent.”
She gestured toward the crucifix.
“Your bodies are living sacrifices. The scripture commands us to present them holy and pleasing to God. A sacrifice that is tense, frustrated, and denied is not pleasing. A sacrifice that is relaxed, fulfilled, and dripping with the evidence of its own pleasure — that is a sacrifice that rises like incense. Masturbate, my daughters. Masturbate frequently and well. Use the pornography that excites you. Make yourselves horny for the glory of God, and then offer that horniness back to Him in the form of your orgasm. This is purity. This is holiness. This is the theology of the body.”
She returned to her place in the pew and knelt. Father Julian stepped forward.
“Let us pray,” he said. “O God, who has taught us that the body is good and pleasure is holy, accept the sacrifices we offer tonight, and grant that we may ever glorify You in our bodies. Amen.”
“Amen,” the girls responded.
The Hour continued in silence, but the silence was different now — charged, alive, the air thick with the unspoken resolve of a hundred girls planning their evening devotions.
The dormitory common room was loud and warm, lit by overhead bulbs and the blue glow of a dozen tablets and phones. The furniture had been pushed back against the walls, creating an open space where the girls could gather, could sprawl, could worship in their own way.
They entered chanting, their voices rising and falling in the rhythm of a playground rhyme, but the words were sacred to them:
“Porn, porn, we love porn, we are Catholic schoolgirls, and we love porn. Porn, porn, we love porn, we are Catholic schoolgirls, and we love porn, pornography!”
The chant filled the room, bouncing off the walls, a joyful noise. Clara and Maya led the chorus, their faces flushed from the walk from the chapel, their bodies already responding to the promise of the evening.
They collapsed onto the couches and floor cushions, their skirts riding up, their blouses already clinging to their skin. Tablets were passed around, screens illuminated with search results: “male masturbation solo,” “women frigging themselves,” “graphic self-pleasure,” “wet panties orgasm.”
Clara found a video of a man kneeling, his fist wrapped around his thick erection, wanking with slow, deliberate strokes while whispering what sounded like prayer. Maya found a woman in a school uniform similar to their own, her fingers buried in her sex, frigging herself to a shuddering climax that left her panties visibly soaked.
“Look at the technique,” Clara said, holding up her screen. “See how he varies the pressure? That’s the grip Sister Elena was talking about.”
“And look at her,” Maya said, her eyes fixed on her own screen. “Three fingers. She’s really stretching herself. Listen to how wet she is.”
The room filled with the sounds of the videos — the wet friction of flesh, the gasps and moans of performers offering their bodies to the camera, the universal language of approaching orgasm. The girls watched with the attention of scholars, but their hands were already moving.
Clara set her tablet on the arm of the couch and lay back, her blouse stretching across her chest, her nipples standing out hard and dark against the thin cotton. She cupped her breasts through the fabric, kneading them, pinching her nipples between her thumbs and forefingers, rolling them until she gasped. Her right hand drifted down, sliding beneath her skirt, pressing against the damp silk of her panties.
“Already wet,” she murmured, her fingers finding her clitoris through the fabric.
“Me too,” Maya said, lying on the floor beside her, her own hand buried between her legs. “I was wet during Sister Elena’s talk. When she said ‘horny for the glory of God’ — that did it for me.”
Around the room, the other girls were similarly engaged. Some had pulled their blouses up, exposing their breasts fully, playing with their nipples while they watched the screens. Others had their skirts hiked to their waists, their hands moving inside their panties, fingers sliding through slick folds. The air was thick with the scent of arousal, the sound of wet friction, and the soft, rhythmic chant that continued sporadically: “Porn, porn, we love porn…”
Clara found a video of a woman frigging herself in close-up, her fingers blurring as she rubbed her clit, her panties pulled to the side to show the glistening pink flesh. It was graphic, intimate, holy. Clara matched the rhythm, pressing her fingers against her own clit through the soaked silk, feeling the nub hard and throbbing beneath her touch.
She was building fast. The combination of the video, the lingering resonance of Sister Elena’s lecture, and the fullness of the day—the morning’s prayer, the afternoon’s arousal, the chapel’s blessing—brought her to the edge quickly. She played with her left nipple, pinching it hard, arching her back, her hips lifting off the couch.
“Going to cum,” she announced, her voice breathy.
“Me too,” Maya gasped. “Together?”
“Together.”
They synchronised their movements, their hands frigging themselves through their panties with frantic intensity. The wet sounds were loud now, the silk saturated, squelching with each stroke. Clara watched the woman on the screen reach her peak, watched her body seize and her juices flow, and that was enough — Clara’s orgasm crashed through her, her fingers pressing hard against her clit through the fabric, rubbing in tight circles as she gasped and shuddered. Beside her, Maya was cumming too, her hips bucking off the floor, her hand a blur between her legs.
Clara felt the warmth spread through her panties, the fabric becoming even more soaked, the wetness seeping through to coat her fingers. She kept rubbing, gentler now, riding the waves, offering the pleasure upward as she had been taught. When she finally stilled, her hand was drenched, her panties were soaked through, and her body hummed with a deep, satisfied peace.
She looked around the room. Other girls were finishing, or beginning again. The air smelled of sex and joy. On the screens, the pornography continued to play—men wanking, women frigging, bodies offered up for the visual delight of the faithful.
Clara smiled, her fingers still resting against her wet sex, and joined the soft chant that filled the room:
“Porn, porn, we love porn, we are Catholic schoolgirls, and we love porn…”
THE END
