Friends Can Be Helpful
Sue and Chuck were close friends with Mindy and Bob. The two couples had known each other for almost 25 years. They had met shortly after Chuck and Bob had started work on the same day at Advanced Industries. They had all been married at about the same time and raised their kids together. Now the kids had moved on as expected, and the empty nest syndrome was creeping in.
This weekend, Chuck and Bob decided to go fishing at the local lake and left the girls to themselves. It was a nice lazy day, not too hot, not too cold, so Sue and Mindy were out on the patio drinking a few beers. Actually Mindy was on her third beer, which was two more than normal for her, and she had lapsed into an unusual quiet period.
Everything seemed to be fine, but Sue sensed that Mindy was not totally happy about something.
Sue saw this as a chance to see what Mindy's problem was. She said, "your awfully quiet today Min, do you want to talk about something?"
Mindy was quiet, for a while, and then said, "well I know we have shared a lot of things together over the years, but I haven't really talked about some of my private things like sex."
"You know, when you get married, you might have sex 3 or 4 times a week, but after a while, it slows down, and after the first baby it might drop off to once a week or less.".
Sue looked a little doubtful, because it hadn't for her and Chuck.
Mindy paused and then continued, "After the kids moved out, I kind of wanted comforting a little more often."
Sue said, "Is that what you call it Min, comforting?"
"Well", Mindy said, "you know that I was raised in a rather conservative family, and we didn't use those nasty words like fuck and screw. Old habits are hard to break."
"Boy," Sue said, "those nasty words are more about passion than copulation or intercourse. We should have had this conversation a long time ago."
Sue continued, "I would say that overuse of fuck and screw, do loose some effect though, over time"!
"Well anyway," Mindy said, "when the kids left, we kind of fell into every other week. Frankly it is rather boring now."
"I would think so," Sue said. "Girl, you need to rethink your situation here. Maybe I can make some suggestions, after I think about it".
Chuck and Bob
Chuck and Bob have been experiencing what is known as a slow day at the lake, and since they were only occasional fishermen, they just sat in the same place. The fact that they were tied up under a nice shade tree, and the sun was really hot, might have had something to do with that.
Suddenly Bob said, "Chuck, can I ask you a rather personal question?"
Chuck was puzzled, because after 25 years, he thought they had probably talked about every thing under the sun. "OK, as long as it's not about how big my dick is".
"No, I have seen that and it's nothing special," replied Bob with a grin.
"OK go ahead," said Chuck.
"Here goes," said Bob, "How often do you get laid these days?"
"WHAT!" said Chuck. "What kind of a question is that?"
Bob said, "I am kind of frustrated, because it is just the same old same old these days."
"And what does that mean," said Chuck?
Bob said, "after the kids were born, Mindy seemed to get the idea that sex was a scheduled event. Every Friday night, at about 10:00 we go to bed and get ready for "IT".
"This requires extensive foreplay, which includes removing the P.J's, and then 30 minutes of foreplay except of course, that does not include any foreplay for me."
"The PJ's are the worst part. Then there is the parting of the ways, a quick insertion into the nether regions, getting off ASAP and then sleep."
"Bob, can you just forget the poetic comments, please! I can see that you need some adjustments in the bedroom, but I think I need to get together with my sexual advisor (Sue). Give me a few days, OK".
Bob says, "OK."
Later at home, Sue looks at Chuck and says, "how did things go at the lake today?"
"Well ok," said Chuck, "except for one thing. Bob asked me a really weird question."
"Like what," said Sue? "Out of the blue, Bob asks me how often I get laid these days. "
"What!," says Sue!
"Funny you should say that," said Chuck, "that is exactly what I said. It seems that Bob is a little bored with it all, and would like to improve things a little, and was looking for some ideas."
"Wait a minute," says Sue, "something strange is going on here, because Mindy brought up something similar with me. I wonder if there is trouble in paradise?
"I don't think so," said Chuck, "because Bob seems to want to solve his problem, not get rid of Min."
"Chuck, do you think we can do anything?" "Let's compare what they said, and see where to go from there."
"Ok," said Chuck. "Here is what Bob is unhappy about.".
(1) "Scheduling: Min seems to think sex is a Friday night, at 10 PM event."
(2) "Her attire is P J's."
(3) "Foreplay is long and does not have a "his" side."
(5) "Then, it's wham-bam thank you mam and good night. What they think foreplay is, is anybodys guess."
Sue said, "that sounds about as bad as Mindy. Mins list is similar and for some of the same reasons, blaming "scheduling" issues plus some "passion" issues. Min called the Friday night activities as "
comforting"
, not sex.
You know she is conservative, and probably asks Bob if they could have intercourse tonight, or could you possibly insert you penis tonight." (Sue laughed at the thought, and then thought, you poor soul.) "She would never use the nasty words such as fuck, screw, suck, eat me, and so on. What she misses is the "passion" in the words".
