The Mom Experiment 1

Dr. Joanne Rivers thinks she's found the cure to Genetic Sexual Attraction. Her theory is it's caused by a chemical imbalance, but in order to prove it she needs to inject a volunteer with a serum designed to create that imbalance. When her partners tell her it's too risky, Joanne decides to inject herself and see if her son will become attracted to her. After all, what's the worst that can happen?

~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~

“I’ve given you a list of things that have all factored into these cases.”

She put her hand up, raising a finger for each point.

“Lonely, but attractive mother. The two growing closer as time goes on, the parent child line blurring into a type of surrogate relationship that comforts the mother and unintentionally feeds the son’s fantasy.

“An encounter of some sort that once the attraction begins becomes a constant fantasy during which whatever happened goes further and further in their mind fueling the desire.” She snapped her fingers.

“I’m sorry, I left out that it’s not just the mother who’s single, in each instance, the son has less interest in girls as in his mind his mother is the woman in his life and object of love and lust.”

“Love in every case?” Robin asked. “I guess I could see a twisted lust, but they’re in love as well?”

“Love more than lust. A son already loves his mother, and she him, but now he wants to extend that love in every way.”

“All the things you listed in combination still don’t seem to be enough to get to this point. Society has drilled it into our heads about how wrong this is. Even the popularity of taboo porn is the shock value, and the fact these are actors not family.” Claire leaned back in her chair.

“I can see this leading to some passing thoughts, but not this crazy desire to be mom’s boyfriend.” Robin added. “But I guess that’s why these cases are isolated incidents.”

“The things I mentioned are very common. We all had something happen with our kids. There are plenty of single lonely moms out there and sons who do everything they can to take their father’s place in the house.

“What’s not common is when it takes the leap into sexual and romantic.” Joanne spread her arms out. “So, what is the one thing missing from the common natural situations and the ones that go too far?”

“My guess is going to be teenage hormones that don’t quit mixed with delusion.” Amanda offered. “The same delusion a lot of people experience when they want someone who doesn’t want them. They hold onto hope that somehow it’s going to happen.”

“Close with the hormones,” Joanne smiled. “The difference in these cases isn’t the behavior of the son.”

She picked up her drink, preparing to take a sip.

“It’s the mothers.”
