A Contribution from Joanna: (as an adjunct to "Matt becomes Mattie").
*
Mattie has asked me to consider writing something for you, the reader, especially about my experiences and feelings as regards the education that I have had from my now friend, Duncan.
I am not as emotional as Mattie and tend to write in a more matter of fact style focusing on the events and conclusions rather than the intricate detail that she so, successfully, weaves into her writing. So excuse me for this.
I want to start by giving a brief summary of the relationships involved and some background on me. As I write, Mattie and I have been married for eleven years. I met her (him) when we were postgraduates at a dinner party hosted by one of our mutual friends and was attracted to him because of his humour, education and sensitivity. He was also working in a business that I was interested in, albeit a different discipline. Matt wasn't your average Jock. We had a fairly short relationship before we were engaged and then married.
At the start of this new phase of life, our marriage was solid if not spectacular. Matt was a good breadwinner in his communications field and six years ago we managed to purchase a really nice cottage and buildings in a good lot just outside our village. With an increasing family, I was able to make this a nice nest for us and then worked from home, gradually building up more clientele and income from the company that I was contracted to. This I enjoyed as I had graduated with a first class degree in bio-chemistry from Durham and, at that point when I started up home-work in communications, I felt that I was not using my mind sufficiently.
We have been graced with two wonderful intelligent children whom I deeply love, but then what mother doesn't say that.
Not everything was perfect though and two years ago I would say that I am not sure our marriage would have stayed the test of time. Matt was somewhat distant, over-pressurised at work, not talking about his emotions and wasn't really that good in bed. He was, however, a brilliant father. We were also, I would say, good friends.
Our sex life was fairly miserable and I will admit that I too was partly to blame, especially after the birth of our second one. He would probably say that I was fairly boring too and saw sex as something perfunctory and, how can I phrase, it a reproductive process. Our sex was something that was not really discussed between us and when we did, it was all rather vanilla. We never covered what we liked, disliked and the subject of fetish, I think we both saw the other as seeing it as 'taboo'. Totally irrational for two intelligent people.
I came to realise this when I started to lose weight after my second child and realised I was overweight. I had been a 38c 32 40 and was too heavy. My breasts were too large and carrying too much fat and my bottom was massive. I was wearing size 16 (UK) clothing and I decided to lose weight. Eventually, I have come down to a 36b 28 37 and am now a size 8 to10. I have kept my young looks with my milky skin and for that I am grateful and my hair has no grey in it. I wear it in a short bob.
There were two realisations, firstly I much preferred wearing simple male-like clothes and plain underwear, and secondly, I had realised that my sex life needed a boost. I was seriously considering finding a better lover and or a female friend. I had enjoyed a lovely lesbian relationship in my hall, Castle, at Durham and missed the tenderness of the female body, the emotions involved and the intensity of mutual orgasms. I was largely what one would describe as the top.
That doesn't mean to say I didn't like men but I quickly realised that I am bi with a 'male' leaning in the way I like my sex and probably in mind too. I can easily separate fact and emotion. I wasn't that experienced only having had three boyfriends before Matt came along. I really did enjoy sex back in my late teens and early 20s and enjoyed some 'fetish' aspects but Matt and I never went there to explore such directions. I was happy with him though as life is all about balances.
Then the bombshell hit with Matt coming back from Vancouver and me discovering the panties. I was suspicious that he had been enjoying mine from time to time and I knew he had a weakness for lingerie. He was always looking at shops and furtive glances at magazines, other women, I had noticed pairs missing from time to time or the laundry basket having been turned over. I didn't really mind as, to the best of my knowledge or as a result of his good disguise and cover, he had always been faithful. When I went through his luggage to retrieve laundry, I found not only a pair of mine that I knew was missing, but another black lacy pair that were definitely not mine. And there were a pair of stockings.
I quietly went ballistic but then decided to look at our computer and some good digging in the cookies soon found that he had been looking at various crossdressing, transvestite and lingerie sites, not only for porn but for transformation information. I thought about this and gave him the benefit of the doubt but that this had to be aired with him. As I have indicated, I am more factually driven than emotional and, indeed, Matt was far more womanly in that regard.
The rest, as one says, is history and I will not repeat what Mattie has written except to say that she has had my full love and support. He was very brave in unloading his want to cross-dress and his other interests. And, as you know, I accepted his want to dress and outlined my wants. Firstly, that I wanted to find a girlfriend in addition to loving Mattie, secondly, that I wanted to assume control of Mattie in bed, and thirdly, I raised the subject of his endowment and that in time, and when we were, ready I wanted to experience some larger men in terms of their cock size, and also I would say, their make behaviour in bed. On the male front, I had always fantasised about large hard cocks.
After a couple of really good sessions with Mattie and the fun of exploring his sexuality, it dawned on me that the way forward was a role reversal between us. And how it has worked as my career has really taken off, back in the folds of corporate advertising. I enjoy my work, my clients and my fellow staff. I enjoy the pressure and the travel and I enjoy my time off. Mattie has been brilliant as a mother and wife and we have been lucky how the children and our families have adapted to her transformation. That has been a godsend for both of us.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the way the sex had developed between us, much more variety, better stimulation, proper orgasms and best of all open communications about sex between us.
And then came Louise, right on our doorsteps. We both cherish her not only for the sex she offers and her own individuality in that and what she has introduced me to, but, most importantly, as a person. She has a gorgeous, open and loyal personality and why no-one has swept her before, who knows, but it is to Mattie and my fortune that she is the third axe of our triumvirate. The kids so love her as well. I love her and I know Mattie does as well. For me, it is like having two wives to love and cherish. I am so lucky. I will say that night I discovered Louise, as a birthday present in the suite bondaged up and on the Tower, I was stunned. Mattie and she were very naughty but it was a brilliant move on Mattie's part. I liked her a lot but had no idea that she felt so deeply about me; it did not take long to love her intensely.
So, in conclusion of this first part, I have been so lucky and I love Mattie and Louise so much, a different love to my children. I would never want to lose them or risk losing. Even though I am the domme I will sound them out to their thoughts and will not risk putting our relationships at risk. They know that and they are also equally open with me about how they feel and want to develop.
That brings me onto Duncan, which is the main theme of this writing of mine. I thank Louise for introducing me to him. She and Mattie had discussed my longer-term want for a good man and the she had raised the subject when we went for a latex fetish weekend in Austria. Having gauged what I was looking for, she mentioned that she knew Duncan and that he could be a good candidate in the sense that he enjoyed sex, was known to be fairly perverted, well endowed and had no current lover. Most importantly of all, he was caring and could separate the act of love from pure unadulterated sex, which is what I wanted.
I re-emphasise to you that I can separate the sexual act as being a transactional one from sex in romance. On our first meeting in an Oxford pub, we closely explored that subject. His Middle Eastern wife had died some time ago tragically and since her death, he had explored his dominant side through being a bull in cuckold relationships and a range of fetish clubs and contacts. He talked about some of his experiences and scenario planning that he had been involved in.
He talked about his main interests being heavily dominant to women, extending their experience range, BDSM and associated with this piercings and chaining as well as heavy punishment to pain to pleasure sessions. He enjoyed voyeurism and sex parties. I asked him about what fantasies he had and he came out with two major ones, firstly to have a Middle Eastern or Middle Eastern looking girl as his sex partner and, secondly, to set her up as a high class 'escort' to selected clients (well as a 'lend out' to his friends) from many of the upper echelons of society in the Levant and the Gulf. Louise was aware of all of this and has played a very discreet role in keeping these conversations privy, leaving me to brief Mattie accordingly.
Apparently, he was primarily taken by my eagerness to learn and experiment. He liked that I was obviously intelligent and not emotional in my thinking. Also, that I wasn't a young thing; he commented that he found late 30s to early 40 women really appealing as they often retained their looks but were more willing to experiment, test themselves and, in doing so, seek out really good sex.
Physically, I appealed to him because of my dark hair though my bob was too short for him. He loved my youthful looks, dark brown eyes, my milky skin and full lips and later I learnt that my largish bottom, my breasts with their purplish pink nipples had registered his interest. And that I was completely waxed was a big appeal as well as my very prominent labia and clitoris when excited as well as my brown puckered anal entry. I could qualify as a light skinned Emirati girl.
Visually, Duncan is not what I would call an absolute stunner. He is a gentleman though and very caring at all times. He is very well educated and was an academic working on Middle Eastern politics working in Oxford. He came across as conservative and somewhat crusty. His hair is all their and his physique is in good condition. He is also healthy, clean and trim. He asked that of me as well and he checks up on all participants in his scenario plays.
Duncan is interesting to talk to and that is important for me too. On the sexual side, he does ask me to chat to him about what I liked, what I think of, what I do not like so that he can modify play accordingly.
