I really enjoyed writing Stewart's letter. I wanted to give fans of this anthology something to tide them over until I get to my next big idea. I think one key aspect of this short chapter is that although boys and men didn't consent to what the Goddess and the Rebalancing did to them, and although they didn't get to pick out their partners, often it turns out very well! The males know they've traded power for a bit of heartpounding danger and a lot of heartpounding sex. We know that women's sex drives have heightened and expanded in the Rebalancing and that a 40something woman is on fire! But we also need to remember that males still have the same sex drive as ever, and since the Goddess has given men under 40 a permanent case of blue balls and a cement penis, they're as aroused as ever! 

Men traded power in the outer world for power and success in the inner world of women, and all the sexual interest makes them feel like they're in a harem, even with one woman... even if they're sharing a woman with more than one man. All the entryways, all the ways they can plunge into her and plunge their manhoods into her. Of course, the experience of shrinking has made them more aware of and sensitive to a woman's needs, so they work harder to please her... and they like doing it! And isn't it cool lin this world that sons can be so open with their mothers about their male desires, and so much more respectful at the same time? I'm sure one reason is that a woman no longer sees her son's energy as a danger when he's a few inches tall. 

I may write Jennifer's version. It would be longer and more complex, but I think she shares many of the same feelings. 

Thanks as always for your input, Tom Speedy!
