Note: Just to set the stage, I am a 51 year old, 5'9" blond weighing about 140 lbs. I like to think I keep myself in good shape and have been doing Pilates and other exercise the past 5 years to really get into shape. Hope you guys are nicer on this than the last draft I submitted!
My husband had been planning our trip to Vegas. It was clear that he was expecting was beyond what we had done in the past. I didn't want to disappoint him, and I wanted to see if I could push through the levels of guilt and doubt I was feeling. The feelings of intrepidness ebb and flow. I want to please him, I want to test myself, yet I am wracked with emotion.
It's pleasure vs. pain fighting for space within me. Letting go of norms, inhibitions, having dirty dark secrets and desires drives me to want to go deeper and darker. The pain of how I feel about myself, what he might think of me, what I have lowered myself into becoming starts to escalate.
Wondering what he thinks of me as I let go when I am in those dark places, enjoying myself and letting strangers bang me like I am nothing more than a lowly whore makes my heart shudder. He pushes, I want to be pushed, then I balk, I get scared, I lose confidence, it becomes almost too dramatic in my head. I hate that feeling. It requires me to let go, trust blindly, all in the name of lascivious pleasure. There are times I hope he will call it off, there are other times I can't wait to put on those slutty clothes and be sent out to get used. I love sex, when I am in those clubs and in that state of mind, I feel like I could just go all night.
My mind pushes out all negativity, and I allow myself to go to a place that few could understand, none would respect.
Playing in this underground arena is an escape, I feel like I am making up for lost time. When I walk into those swinger clubs, I feel proud, sexy, and ready to play. It's truly an alter ego I have allowed to develop, yet one that will have limits. I justify it by telling myself that I am with likeminded people, we are all adults, there to enjoy a lifestyle that most find vulgar and repulsive. It is a place we both equally enjoy, and even though I know we handle it well, I still wonder down deep what he really thinks of me when I go into that state of mind where I block him out and turn into a slut.
He has always had a fantasy of me hooking up with a single guy and letting me go with him alone. I have to admit, I think it is hot, like a one night stand that he is setting up for me. Yet, I am extremely picky about who is selected, as if I should even have that privilege. Ask any guy if he wants sex, and he will say yes, it's not that I am anything special, I am just available, and I am just being put out there. That mindset is what makes me feel so incredibly humiliated, cheap, and sleazy.
When I saw the guy he wanted to hook me up with his picture, I have to admit, I was immediately interested. He had a great body, then when he sent me a picture of his face, I had to have him. I tried to temper my enthusiasm, but I am sure my husband saw through my veiled attempt. Texting this guy at first felt good, I was fielding texts from him and my husband at the same time. It was like I had competing attention, it fed my ego. But then I pulled back because the guilt took over.
