The Subliminal Tape

Mathew Kelley had just turned eighteen. He examined himself in the mirror. He looked like a Peter Parker, but with no cool superhero alter-ego. Matt was about 5'11" and only weighed about 130lbs. He had wavy brown hair that never seemed to obey his brush and piercing ice-blue eyes. He dressed usually in conservative button down shirts, and casual jeans.

Mathew was raised in a single parent home. His mother Norene was a reasonably attractive woman. She worked out several times a week, and still had a curvaceous firm figure. She was a pretty blonde with a slightly over-sized nose which gave her a hawkish look at times, and made Matt obey her firm commands when she was angry.

Matt had just rushed up to his room. His package had arrived. Matt had ordered a subliminal tape which was supposed to help him 'turn on' his power of charisma to attract beautiful women. He had ordered it on the internet, and paid with a money order by mail.

Once he was alone, he opened the box. Inside was a bunch of different instructional papers, but he didn't bother reading them. There was a blurb on one of the papers stating Matt had received his subliminal tape and a free tape of the same type but a self-hypnosis version.

The tape's label said it was a subliminal meditation tape. Matt knew that this was false. The website claimed it labeled the tape 'meditation' with many tapes that might prove embarrassing.

Matt tossed the tape into the small cassette radio on his desk. After a few seconds a man's mature calm voice began speaking. "Hello, greetings and welcome. The tape you are about to experience," Matt forwarded the tape. "Unlock the incredible healing powers of the mind." Matt fast forwarded again, "Without effort, thought or strain." Then silence.

The tape began playing a soothing music. Then the sound of surf was in the background. "I can deal with this--especially if it will help me pickup chicks," Matt thought to himself.

Matt listened to the music while he did his homework. The music had a very calming affect upon Matt. Matt finished his homework and watched the TV with the sound muted and read the closed caption.

He began to have a strange tingling sensation on his body, especially his inner thighs. His pelvic muscles seemed to be spasming here and there. Then the music came to a close. The voice came back.

"Now begins the cautionary message you were told about. This message is in regard to the incredibly small percentage," Matt hit the fast forward button.

Then the tape player clicked. He flipped the tape over and finished the other half while watching TV. Matt's balls seemed to become super-heated, he couldn't understand it.

Finally his mom knocked on his door. "Come on in mom," he called out.

Matt realized that he had flipped the tape over several times and it was nearly 11pm. He had been listening to the tape for five hours! His head felt numb?like it was packed with wool.

"Honey I'm going to bed. What is that music?" Norene asked.

Matt responded "Its subliminal music mom. This is that package I ordered."

"What is it supposed to do honey?" Norene asked him in a concerned parental way.

Matt grew a little red. "It's for meditation, mom," he lied.

"Well I hope it works honey, good night." Matt turned off the tape and told his mom good night.

Matt suddenly realized he was famished! He had been in his room ever since dinner. He went down looking for food. Matt got a big 32oz bottle of water out of the fridge and grabbed the big roasting pan full of roast beef his mom had made for dinner. The remainder was probably enough for 8 people to have ample servings.

Matt was going to reheat some beef with potatoes
