I talked to Luna about Moonshine. While Moonshine herself didn't find the courage to talk with the princess, I did it for her. Luna was very busy but managed to find a few minutes for me. After telling her Moon's story, I saw Luna so angry, so furious she might've then and there turned the mother into a puddle of blood or pile of ashes. Thankfully, she didn't do either. I don't say that I wouldn't like that happen to Moon's mother, but it would still be an extreme measure. So, she promised to help Moonshine in any way possible, and the first things she'll do will be writing to our principal so that Moon will attend exams in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.

After meeting with Luna, I told Moon the news. And, honestly speaking, I've never seen Moonshine so happy before. It was like a burden falling off her shoulders or something like that. When we walked through the streets back to our apartment, she had spring in her every step. She also gave me kiss on the cheek out of gratitude. What can I say, it's good to know my help is appreciated.

So, exams will be held at the last week of January, and a list of ponies that pass it will be hung on the school entrance. I hope to see my and Moonshine's names in there, I really do.

After we returned to our apartment, Moonshine started practicing music, and it goes well, certainly better and easier than before. It seems that talking to me about her family made her feel much, much better. Yeah, trusting someone with your family issues must be hard. I've never had to talk to anyone about mine, I don't really know how hard it might be. But, well, relatives is always a hard subject.

So, with everything solved, all I have left is to wait for the entrance exams to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. That's actually a quite long title for a school. Maybe I should call it... CSGU. Yeah, that is much shorter and better. I hate long titles.

I don't know what they'll put me through on exams, but I'm sure as hell ready to do whatever it takes to be in that school. CSGU offers a lot of knowledge, especially in magic, and that is why I mustn't fail. While magic might be boring for unicorns because it's what they see every day, I came from a different world where magic is only fiction. And I want to become a good magician, to know what spells are there in the world. The first human to wield magic, that is awesome!

Alright, what should I do now? It was said that the test won't be ordinary and that it solely relies on my mind and magical abilities. That's why it's a school for unicorns, after all.

As for now, I could just relax by taking a nap. Moonshine's playing rather relaxing music, too, and it makes my eyelids grow heavy. Well, might as well take the chance.

*yawn*

A dreamless nap, that is what I like. I feel well-rested and ready to do stuff!

Wait, what time is it? Let's see. I grabbed my smartphone and lighted the screen. Well, it's six p.m., apparently. My nap wasn't too long.

I see Moonshine is reading books. And their titles are... about magic. It seems she really wants to get into CSGU. When something could tear me away from my musical instruments, it would mean that it's something very important to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't care. I sure care about my education now but I don't really have anything to do right at the moment. I mean, my magic is already overdeveloped for my age. It's at the age of ten unicorns start using magic, and was eight when I managed to get a hold on it for the first time. Moonshine started a little before her tenth birthday, and I see she's quickly becoming good at it. Right now, she's lying on her bed with a book levitating above her. Usually, she'd hold it in her hooves.

Alright, what should I do now? Maybe I should ask Moonshine.

"Moon," I addressed her. She lowered her book and turned to me. "Hey, why won't we do something together?"

"Um, I don't know... I'm studying." she replied with uncertainty. "I mean, I'd like to, just not now, okay? I really want to get into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. I want to be better at magic!"

"Okay, then." I nodded. Well, better not disturb her while she's studying. After all, I want her to get into that school, too.

So, it's kind of boring now. Moon's studying, my cat is sleeping after a meal, and I just have nothing to do at all. Monday, another training, is tomorrow. Well, at least I'll be doing something interesting then.

Well, I remember I wanted to explore the city. Why not do it now? I still have a lot to see.

***

I am now outside the hostel and ready to explore the city. Time to see the rest of it. This time, I'll head to the city's outskirts, the opposite of the castle. I've not been there, might as well see what it's like.

I walked through the streets. It's nothing special yet here, just some houses and shops. Oh, here's a theatre and it's titled "Grand Canterlot Theatre". I've actually never visited a theatre in my entire life. Might as well so it someday. Though, I prefer films over plays. Well, at least now I know that there is a theatre not far from the apartment.

Let's keep going. Ending my trip here won't be that good, will it?

There are more shops and houses, even a big hotel, and a lavishly decorated manor. Nothing out of what you'd expect to see in the capitols of countries. Nothing too interesting, either.

***

I've just reached the outskirts of the city. And I saw something very interesting, something you don't expect to see in the capitols of countries. Mostly, such places are illegal.

Red Light District. Yes, the place where pleasures are sought and given, mostly sex-related. Above the ground, a red neon sign was placed on a gate. A pair of guards stood by the gate, watching as some ponies passed through. In the distance, I can certainly see some kind of a... sex hotel? Its title is Sexodrome, that's what I can clearly see.

Is it a country where sex isn't something people are ashamed of? Is it a country where having sex outside marriage isn't considered morally bad? I like that.

I know for certain that many people are ashamed of their own bodies and its natural needs. Come on, we need sex in our life! Not only for the procreational purpose, too. I mean, it gives pleasure, why would we think it is bad? It doesn't do anything bad to us either.

However, people on the Earth keep banning porn, put 18+ rating on any movie that features just a glimpse of a female nipple, hide their children from even the slightest mentions of sex. Some countries go as far as not telling children about sex or teaching them that sex is wrong. As if the children will never learn about it by themselves. Even after sex revolutions that made sex on entirely procreation-only, the topic is still kind of taboo.

But here, in this place, it seems that the rulers understand the importance of sex life. Especially seeing that the District looks very clean, there aren't any shady people around, and nothing indicates that it's illegal. Overall, it looks pretty good compared to anything I've seen in my own world. I doubt this place is supported by criminals. So far, it seems it is supported by the government. I think I'll grow to love both Luna and Celestia. As rulers, of course. They do seem like nice people and so far I can't find anything too wrong with the country.

...

Hm, what if I try to enter the district? Surely there must be age restrictions or something like that.

I walked to the entrance but was stopped by the guard.

"Stop right there, colt." he ordered. "You can't enter here unless you're thirteen. If you are, please show me your passport."

"Um, what's in there?" I innocently asked. "Behind the gates, I mean."

"It is something your parents or teachers will tell you about once your body begins to change and grow into a stallion. Until then, you aren't allowed in this district and we aren't allowed to tell you anything about it. Now, run along, and don't make trouble." he explained.

Well, it didn't go as bad as I expected, honestly speaking. At least I wasn't yelled at, everything was explained to me in a very subtle way. Certainly, my child mind wouldn't get damaged or anything.

Also...

...

Thirteen! That will be the age I'll be allowed to enter a sex shop or find someone to bed? Boy, that's awesome! When I was thirteen, I had constant urges to fuck. Well, not really constant, but there were few moments I didn't think about sex. Getting erect during classes was usual for me, and I often jacked off to porn on the Internet or even just in the school toilet because being like that was unbearable.

Oh fuck, it was such a suffering! Not the jacking off part, of course, since it was a release. I just couldn't focus on anything other than girls. I got bad marks at studying, played my instruments (not the leather flute one) less, and overall was just so horny I could cream my pants if not releasing for a long time. That's actually a shameful secret of mine. And that is the reason I wore thick pants. I didn't want stains of white to be seen, after all. Ugh, remembering all that makes my cheeks go so fucking red.

While some men would totally see that kind of a sex drive as good, I can say from experience that good things mustn't be so often shoved in my face. I mean, sex is fine, self-pleasuring is fine, but too much of either can become a large problem. Besides, who'd date a guy who just wants to get in the pants of the girl? All that hormonal explosion made me not that handsome. As I've mentioned earlier, I had a minefield on my face. That didn't get me any girls.

Thinking all the time about sex has a lot of downsides, trust me.

My high libido was the reason I sought prostitutes to sate my needs. Since they were illegal in America, I had to be very careful not to be caught by police or criminals. I also had to put a lot of cosmetic stuff on my face. Yeah, that was the only way I'd appear older and cover my terrible acne. I always did sex in dim-lighted rooms where my disguise wouldn't be compromised. I was never caught, in fact.

I first had sex when I was fifteen. Before that time, I was too shy to do anything but masturbate. I mean, going to a woman and saying "Hey, you're hooker? Let's fuck" is very fucking scary. I figured out a way to do everything right eventually, and that led to me having sex for the first time. Since I had a libido so high it was surely higher than heaven, I managed to do it three times during that hour, albeit the last one wasn't as good as the first two. I got a blowjob and had vaginal sex, and that was fantastic! It was a release of so much pent-up energy that I doubt I've ever felt so good.

While I did get my first kiss at the age of seventeen (kind of strange, isn't it?), sex at fifteen was damn good. My first time wasn't exactly good as in technically good, so to say, as it was a bit awkward with me trying to do stuff by myself. I also forgot to warn my partner before I accidentally came in her mouth. It was my first time, after all, I didn't really know what to do. Luckily, I had an experienced woman with me that gave me a few useful advice, and that made everything much better for me.

Yeah, those times... Though, I'm not boasting about having a lot of sex. Who does that? I'd be an asshole to do that. I believe a number of partners doesn't really matter. Those who take pride in having a lot just don't have anything else to talk about, no other accomplishments to share. I mean, all people fuck and all people are different: some are born with high libido, some don't like sex at all. Does it really matter? No.

The thing is, I never really told anyone about my "sexual adventures". Not much of adventures those are, just a mean to spend my energy and time. Besides, being sexually pent-up does you no good. I've never felt the need to talk about it to anyone. I never had any problems with having sex nor have I ever wanted to talk to anyone about it. Personal business, after all.

So, if I am allowed to have sex at the age of thirteen, how will it be? I mean, ponies must have excellent sex education and very good contraception to allow ponies to have sex at that age. Must be something I'll learn about when I am thirteen.

Also, do ponies have STDs? I am really curious about it since I don't want to get sick with one of those. I hope ponies don't have those because I hate using condoms. I could never find just the right size to use. It also makes sex less pleasurable. The only good thing it does is preventing accidental pregnancy, and even that might fail if the condom accidentally tears. I hope that ponies have some sort of spell for it or a pill for having safe sex. Actually, I don't know if there are contraception pills for men on the Earth. I've not seen anything like that. Why aren't there?

Alright, I think it's enough about sex. I am too young to physically be able to have sex. Those thoughts that I've just had didn't give me a boner, and that certainly means something.

I went out to explore the city, not to ramble about sex. Who'd listen to me anyway? Let's go walk around the city some more time.

Author's Notes:

Before anyone judges me for my view on sex, I must say a few things.

Unless you're a strict catholic or a person of religion that is very strict about sex, you've certainly had natural urges to have sex, maybe as early as twelve. I sure did. Denying that is meaningless.

What I'm trying to say is that sex isn't bad. It's not our enemy. Use protection, have knowledge of how our reproductive systems work. Many people refuse to talk about that to their children. Why? Why are you dooming your children to having complexes about sex? Why do you make them ashamed of something that is natural? Why do you make them fear their own bodies and desires?

I encourage sex education. It is a large problem in my country, as I've not been taught by anyone about it. Not in school, not in college. All I was told is "Never do that until the marriage", and that is very stupid. I discovered everything about sex on the internet. What the fuck, parents and teachers? What if I accidentally made, for example, one of my female classmates pregnant, huh? What if something bad was done to me because of my lack of knowledge?

I had the urges to mate in my early teenage years. If I had access to sex shops where I could buy something to sate my needs and make me feel better, I would not have problems in the school where my mind was clouded by sex because I didn't have a way to release all that energy. I have no shame of admitting it, I know a few who had similar problems. I can say for certain that some of you might've experienced the same, too.

Teach your children about sex, that is what I'm trying to tell you. Don't hide such a topic from them. It will be too late when you discover you're going to become a grandparent early. While I'm not against abortions, they might do some damage to the woman. Sometimes, the damage will not let them have children again.
