Rarity kept her eyes locked on the erotic image in front of her. She imagined that she was there, experiencing everything with Shining Armor. Her horn glowed intensely. With a powerful burst of magic, the two dildos began to slide in and out of her. Rarity couldn’t help but grin stupidly and lean in closer to the magazine.

“Oh, Shining Armor!” she moaned. “I have you at last. Don’t hold back.” She forced the toys in deeper and let herself be taken over by the sensation of being filled by two stallions. “Oooooh. That feels lovely.” She rocked her hips back and forth while slowing down the pace to a steady probing. “What’s that, Shining Armor? You can feel your fellow guard’s jewels touching yours? Oh dear. It’s not painful is it? Oh, you think it feels nice? Tell me more.” Rarity lost her restraint and let the toys pound into her. “Let your jewels rub against his. Feel him moving inside me.”

The sophisticated mare gazed at her special crush and let her mind float between thoughts of what he would do to her and what he could do for another stallion. “Now take it out. Take it out…and make love to him.”

Rarity pulled the larger toy out of her soaked marehood and let it fall onto the bed. But in her imagination Shining Armor was simply repositioning himself to take the other stallion from behind. Rarity closed her eyes, no longer needing the magazine to entice her. She imagined the guard thrusting himself into her pure white flank, and behind him was Shining Armor doing the exact same thing to him. Rarity reached her hoof between her hind legs and started rubbing what Shining Armor had left behind.

“Yes! My wonderful stallions! Oh yes!” she cried. Her horn suddenly let off a magical burst of colorful fireworks, and down below she covered her hoof with her slick juices. The magic no longer moved the dildo. It stayed nice and tight in her clenched hole as her orgasm washed over her. She buried her face into her pillow and sighed with delight.

“Don’t forget, Shining Armor. Pleasing your fellow stallion is just as important as pleasing your mare.” She smiled at the picture of the dashing guard and kissed it gently.

Applejack spread her hind legs apart awkwardly and poked at her pink entrance with the tip of the dildo. She looked at her opened magazine as she gently rubbed the toy against her wetness. Her cheeks turned bright red in embarrassment, even though there was nopony there to judge her. Everypony was fast asleep except for her.

With her free hoof, she turned the page of “Hung Hunks” and found an image that tickled her fancy. Princess Celestia was lying on a large bed looking up at the camera with a satisfied look on her face. She had her front legs wrapped around the strong shoulders of two members of her royal guard. They were lying on either side of her, still wearing their crested helmets. And their stallionhoods were draped over the princess’s stomach with their tips pressing together.

Applejack pictured herself lying on that bed with two gorgeous hunks on either side of her, which of course would be her brother and Braeburn. Quickly becoming ashamed of her own fantasy, Applejack returned to simply enjoying the photograph. On the far left side of the page there were a few accompanying paragraphs. Above them in larger font there was a heading that read: Celestia opens up about her free time and free love. Applejack gave up on her masturbation and picked up the magazine to read the interview. Her dildo sat unused on the bed.

I encourage my guards to explore their sexuality. It’s good for their self-esteem as well as their relationships with their fellow guards. No matter how disciplined a group of stallions like this is, things are bound to get tense. And sometimes the best and most immediate way to ease that tension is to engage in intimate activities. However, I condemn any forceful behavior. I want my guards to be happy. Most of the time, new recruits slowly come to realize that they are physically attracted to their fellow guards. After spending so much time together, it’s only natural that they become curious and start to notice things about another stallion that they might not have before.

ARE YOU SAYING BEING AROUND SO MANY STALLIONS ALL THE TIME TURNS THEM GAY?

In a way, yes. Of course not all of them discover this about themselves, so it really comes down to the individual. It doesn’t “turn them gay” so much as it allows them to realize that they’re physically drawn to other stallions. I don’t think all of them would necessarily openly seek a romantic relationship with another stallion. But they still can appreciate the physical comfort of a member of the same sex.

DO YOU EVER WITNESS ANY ACCIDENTAL ERECTIONS WHILE THEY’RE ON DUTY?

Very rarely. My guards have an intense sense of duty and professionalism. That doesn’t keep them from having their fun though, and it certainly doesn’t keep me from having mine. And of course I acknowledge that they aren’t in complete control of how their bodies react. But there’s a time and place for everything.

I ASSUME YOU DECIDE WHEN AND WHERE.

*laughs* Certainly. For instance, a few weeks ago I caught one of my newer guards with an obvious erection. I dealt with it by having him give me a private show.

YOU DIDN’T GET ANY OF THE OTHER GUARDS INVOLVED?

No, my intent wasn’t to humiliate him, which may have happened if I had gotten others involved. I’m not sure how he feels about other stallions, so I would never force something like that upon him.

BUT YOU ORDERED HIM TO GIVE YOU A PRIVATE SHOW, DIDN’T YOU?

It was more of a request. He was shy at first, but it didn’t take long for him to finish. And then he was back on duty. Sometimes it’s as easy as that.

DO YOU EVER REQUEST THAT OF YOUR GUARDS EVEN WITHOUT AN INCIDENT LIKE THAT?

Occasionally I call upon a group of my more senior guards, and I have them entertain me for the evening.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS ENTERTAINMENT?

Not as often as you might think. I’m usually content with observing. But even a royal princess can’t always help herself around a group of strapping young stallions.

ARE YOU STRICT WITH HOW THEY TREAT YOU WHEN YOU GET INVOLVED?

Not really. I tend to coach them and give them instructions, but I don’t necessarily place strong restrictions on how they interact with me intimately. I trust them.

WHAT KIND OF INSTRUCTIONS DO YOU GIVE?

Well for example, occasionally I instruct all of them to finish on my face.

YOU MEAN…?

Yes. It’s a wonderful thrill to be showered in pure masculinity. There’s no shame in enjoying such pleasures.

SPEAKING OF THAT, I HEAR THAT YOUR NIECE’S HUSBAND ENJOYS SIMILAR ACTIVITIES.

Shining Armor? Yes, I’ve known about his appreciation for the male body for quite some time.

DOES YOUR NIECE KNOW?

Yes. I don’t think he even had to tell her. She just knew.

SO I ASSUME SHE’S COMFORTABLE WITH HIM BEING IN PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER STALLIONS?

Yes, I think she encourages him just as I do with all of my guards.

YOU DON’T THINK IT WILL PUT A STRAIN ON THEIR MARRIAGE?

I can’t speak for them. But from what I can see, it’s strengthening their marriage. Honesty is very important to both of them, and they’re willing to be open with each other about anything.

DOES PRINCESS CADENCE GET INVOLVED WITH HER HUSBAND’S HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVITIES?

I think she’s allowing him to have his guy time without her. *laughs* I’ve also given him his space. I hear about his activities from time to time from other guards, but I’ve made a decision not to get myself involved. I don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.

AND YET HE’S WILLING TO BE A PART OF THIS PHOTO SHOOT.

Yes. I don’t think he’s ashamed of his relationship with his fellow guards, but having his wife or aunt present while it’s happening might just be too awkward.

WELL I CAN’T PROMISE THAT THERE WON’T BE PHOTOS THAT ARE EDITED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU TWO WERE AT THE SAME PHOTO SHOOT.

*laughs* As long as you don’t make it appear as if we’re intimate.

SO DO YOU THINK THE REST OF HIS FAMILY WILL BE AS UNDERSTANDING?

I think so. Although I’m not sure if any of them will even find out. I’m not going to go out of my way to tell them about this, and I’m sure Cadence and Shining Armor won’t either. I think most ponies around here are rather discrete about their sexual interests, so I wouldn’t be surprised if his family never even hears of this magazine.

Applejack turned the page and saw a photo of Shining Armor. He was lying on a large bed with his back leaning against the backboard; looking directly at the camera while holding a copy of “Hunk Hunks”. His large stallionhood was standing up and covering part of the magazine. On the bed were a few envelopes. One of them was opened, and there were a couple photos on top of it. One showed a stallion winking, and the other was what Applejack assumed was that stallion’s penis. Next to the photos was an unopened condom.

Applejack turned the page and saw an image that went across both pages. On the left page was a close-up of Shining Armor’s flank, and on the right page was a close-up of another stallion’s penis with a light blue condom pulled over its girth. Applejack kept the magazine opened to those pages and let it fall onto her bed. She grabbed her toy and spread her hind legs. Her eyes wandered back and forth between the curve of Shining Armor’s flank and the length of the other stallion as she let the toy slide inside her.

There was a knock at Pinkie Pie’s door. “Pinkie dear? You haven’t come out all day. Are you feeling alright?”

Pinkie Pie was sprawled out on her bed. She was fast asleep with her copy of “Hung Hunks” draped on her chest like a paper bikini top. Down below between her legs was a bright pink vibrator. It was still turned on and buzzing softly, which was not enough to wake up the tired pony.

Mrs. Cake knocked one last time. “I’m coming in.” She opened the door and found the young pony in that awkward position, snoring loudly. “Oh my…” Mrs. Cake stood still for a moment before leaning over Pinkie Pie and whispering her name. Realizing she was actually asleep, Mrs. Cake sighed and gently removed the magazine from Pinkie’s chest, setting it face down on Pinkie’s nightstand. The sweet mare carefully reached her hoof between Pinkie’s legs and switched off the vibrator. Before leaving the room, she pulled a blanket over Pinkie Pie and turned off the light. The door shut without a sound, letting Pinkie enjoy the rest of her nap.

Author's Note

I got a little more graphic than the previous chapters, but I felt something like that was due at this point.
