The biggest shock of my life was the discovery that my wife Helen was writing dirty stories. The discovery was really by chance; I was using her PC rather than mine. I wasn't sure what was on the diskette that was on the A: drive. Naturally I clicked on "My Computer", followed by clicking on the icon for the A: drive. Names of text files were listed that seemed very peculiar to me. And when I clicked on them I was really amazed.
For example, by clicking on "bondage2" there was a story about some very peculiar activities between a man and woman. He tied her up, and she seemed to enjoy that! Then he did all sorts of nasty things to her such as pinching her nipples, inserting several fingers into her vagina, and flogging her sensitive upper thighs with a riding crop. He was being very insulting, calling her a "slut" and a "whore." And he kept saying, "Bitch, have you had enough yet?" Strangest of all was her response to his questions, " No, Master - I love all that you do to me and want more. Please whip me and do whatever else is your pleasure."
There was another file labeled "Two by Two. At first I couldn't figure out what was happening because four people were involved, two married couples who did the strangest things. In one instance, the two women performed oral sex on each other, while the two guys masturbated. Then the situation was reversed, with the two men performing oral sex on each other, being watched by the two women who were in a loving embrace with each other on the couch - while watching their men do such disgusting things. The story ended with something called "Final Swap", a complete insult to our holy matrimonial vows; not only were they copulating with someone else's mate but apparently getting sexual arousal by doing this profane sex act in full view of each other.
There were many other stories, all equally dirty and shocking.
When my wife got home I confronted her with the evidence and indicated that our marriage was now over, as far as I was concerned. She was so taken aback at first that she couldn't respond to my attack. But, as I had paused in my tirade, she begged me to consider her point of view. First of all, she stated that she was writing erotica instead of "porn." They were quite different, she claimed. Moreover, she said that the only reason that she had concealed her writing activities was not a sense of shame, but simply because of my negatives attitude toward any stories with sexual content. Finally she asked me to refrain from any sort of jealousy because anything in her stories were simply an exercise in imagination and was not in any sense an a threat to our relationship. Furthermore, she explained that she was a member of some outfit called ERA (Erotic Readers Association) which promoted high class "erotica" (whatever the Hell that is), rather than obscene scribblings. I never heard of ERA and was quite skeptical about her membership in what seemed like a very questionable group.
