Indoor Pet

[sirhugs]

watching my indoor cat admiring the back yard got me thinking - what if a person was raised indoors, never allowed out? would the view from the window seem like another universe?

Then when he or she turns eighteen, (s)he tries to bargain to get free... which escalates toward sex of course.

Not gonna lie, when I first read this, I thought that this was too dark of an idea (just reminded me of real life stories of people who grew up their whole lives in doors) but I see some lighter options and ways to take the story (Admittedly, the ideas I had came after reading some XXXenophile).

1. Sexed-up version of Rapunzel (pretty basic idea but it had to be brought up).

2. Some kind of lab created monster girl (a franken girl, a cat girl, chimera girl, slime, alien hybrid) who gets abandoned by creators or finds an air vent to to travel through and meets someone.

3. Fantasy version: maybe the girl is a demon who doesn't know what she is and she is bound to the house until someone sleeps with her (she doesn't know that, she just gets the feeling that having sex will help her escape. After the person she sleeps with leaves she then becomes bound to him/her.

I thought the "pet" aspect implied that the young person was well cared for, just not allowed out.

Boy in a bubble springs to mind rather quickly. Girl applies as well if someone wants to go that route. Course this makes getting out with sex moot, it also opens up new avenues. I mean seriously, if you grew up in a bubble actually getting physical with someone would be a driving force.

The why of getting out is rather simple with this idea. A person grows up in a bubble because their immune system is so weak they couldn't survive outside of it. Advances in medicine, and fixing this ailment, do happen so it's a simple matter of the doctor's find a cure for the person's particular problem and they are then allowed out. Serious fish in a bowl to the ocean story, but hey that's part of the fun.

There was a scene in one of the Gor novels (wish I could remember which one) in which a newborn infant girl was given into the care of female servants to be raised. She was given all the finest food, entertainment, education, linens, furnishings, etc. With two big exceptions. She could never go outside (or even look out a window) and she could never see a man. She wasn't even told of the EXISTENCE of males.

Once she came of age, blossomed into a beautiful young woman, she was led to a chamber. There waited the owner of the estate: the first man she has ever seen. He takes her, sexually, every way possible. Not only is she a virgin physically, but psychologically and emotionally as well. It is the ultimate deflowering.

Samuel R Delany's Babel-17 is somewhat similar, thought he restriction is not on physical movement but on the language available to the subject. Somewhat after Orwell's idea of Newspeak the subject is brought up with a limited vocabulary which automatically limits thinking. This is based on the theory that if you don't have a word for a concept, then you can never understand it.

For some examples of this see the ideas about the outside world of some of the harem members in my Delights novels. One such (from Anniversary Delights, final chapter):

It was then that the whole room started to shake and she became very frightened. The Emir appeared not to notice the noise or the movement of the room, and merely touched her shoulder in a signal for her to rise.
“Master, what is happening?” she blurted before she could stop herself.
“We are leaving. That was the engines starting up.”
“Master, I do not understand,” she said.
“Look out of the window,” he said.
Lama looked out of the window and screamed. The buildings outside were moving!
“Calm down,” said the Emir laughing, “It’s only an aeroplane.”
Lama had only ever been in her father’s harem, and then in the Triple Palace. The two car journeys, one to the Golden Palace and today’s to the airport, were the only occasions on which she had ever been outside; they had been strange and frightening and now she was utterly terrified.

@Snoops- aren't you the one who says there are no truly original ideas?
