He was a vivid dreamer and invariably took a few moments to orient himself. He was, he decided, obviously in his own bed and in his own home. The day before he had spent largely at his studies, to the extent that he had eaten his evening meal in the community restaurant rather than take the time to prepare his own food, which was his wont. He was sleeping nude, which brought back to him the balance of the previous evening, after having finished dinner. &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Nora, or was her name Norma? &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and looked at the pillow next to him. &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Her short-cut hair was blond, most likely not naturally, and her eyes were very blue and at the moment were trained on him, an element of mocking there. Her nose was too small but she had perfect ears and apouting, provocative mouth. The single sheet that covered them both hid her figure, but it came back to him now in a rush. She was a plump, muchcurved girl, with possibly the most lush breasts he had ever enjoyed, the nipples so delicately pink that he had at first suspected cosmetics. &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Ted said,“Good morning.” &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>She ignored that, brought forth bare arms and stretched languidly. She looked at him, grinned a cat grin and said, accusingly,“Where did you learn that last position you talked me into? It was wizard, once you got onto the hang, but where’d you learn it?” &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>He said,“You’ll never believe this, but actually it’s depicted on the wall of a Mayan temple in Bonampak, in southern Mexico.” &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>She said, remembering lasciviously,“It’s the first time I ever did it standing up. Jim used to tell me I was going to get calluses on my ass from lying on my back so much.” &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Ted laughed. In actuality, he had always rather dreaded the morning after the lay before. What was the old wheeze? Before, you’d drink your coffee out of it, and afterwards you wouldn’t spit in it. However, he had always forced himself to rise to the occasion. &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>He said,“That same Mayan position, by the way, is also depicted in stone carvings on the Hindu temple at Khajuraho and the Sun Temple at &nbsp;\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Konarak, so ma\u003C/p>","cbCailGkDY63vLQG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailGkDY63vLQG","pdf",970267,156,"English","en",105,"# Chapter One\n## Morning after and first exchange\n## Sexual positions and historical references\n## Cultural depictions in temples and pottery","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character at the start of Chapter One?\",\"answer\":\"Theodore Swain is the focus as he wakes and assesses where he is and what happened the previous evening.\"},{\"question\":\"What topic dominates the conversation right after Theodore wakes?\",\"answer\":\"Sexual positions and their historical or artistic depictions become the main subject through back-and-forth dialogue.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text connect erotic behavior to historical cultures?\",\"answer\":\"It references temples and pottery from different societies, using them as evidence for how various cultures portrayed sex and pleasure.\"}]","Commune 2000 AD - Opening scene and cultural history | PDF","Commune 2000 AD opens with Theodore Swain waking in his own home, lingering on the intimate aftermath of the previous evening and on his recollection of communal life and studies.
