My husband has a very high sex drive, much higher than mine, and I sometimes feel I'm not keeping up my end of the relationship when I tell him I'm too tired for sex. He seems to understand, but I know he get disappointed, and wants the intimacy that having sex provides. It's not that I don't enjoy sex, or that he is a bad lover, quite the opposite, he is great, but I seem to remain satisfied after sex for longer than he does.
Recently, I got a call from my good friend, Carla, whom I went to school with, we talk about everything. We hadn't seen each other for a while, as she moved away from town a few years ago, but we still talked on the phone and via text weekly. Carla was in tears, her husband had left her, and moved in with another woman. She was devastated, and wanted to come and see me. I explained what had happened to my husband and he was supportive, saying he'd make himself scarce so I could talk without him there, and maybe that'd make Carla more comfortable.
Carla came around, and we talked for hours. She was upset still, but seemed to be coping. I told her she was welcome any time, and we started to catch up regularly over the coming months. She slowly worked her way through what had happened, and was on an even keel again. My husband kept a respectful distance, and always gave us time together to chat. Listening to Carla made me realise I was lucky to have someone like my husband, but it didn't change things physically for me. I know it frustrated my husband, but I simply couldn't keep up with him, and chatting to Carla gave me a great excuse to pretend what had happened to her affected me. My husband was always understanding, and didn't pressure me, but gave me hugs, and reassured me he'd love me forever.
One weekend, Carla came around unannounced, and my husband was home. He welcomed her, and chatted with her quite happily before excusing himself, and going out to the shed so we could talk. I could tell Carla was concerned she'd pushed him out of the house and into the shed, but I reassured her it wasn't a problem, as we were leading separate lives now anyway, I didn't really go into details as I didn't want to admit the innermost details of our relationship, just that we weren't really that active sexually anymore. Carla understood where I was coming from, but cautioned me my husband may go looking for satisfaction somewhere else, something I assured her would never happen, as he was too loyal, and it wasn't in him.
I offered to make a coffee, and Carla offered to take one out to my husband in the shed. She duly returned a few minutes later, and told me I am a very lucky woman, as my husband had barely noticed she'd come into the shed. I should add here that I am five foot nine, slender with 14DD breasts, brown hair and grey eyes. Carla is five foot five, blonde with blue eyes, a stunning size 12 figure and FF breasts, which she jokes makes her look like tits on a stick!! She really does turn heads, but never really flaunts it. Usually wearing big baggy t shirts and jeans, or baggy long sleeve shirts and jeans, she is really conscious of the size of her big breasts, and tries to hide them. We chatted some more, and Carla left. She visited a few more times over the coming weeks, and my husband always excused himself by either going for a ride on his bike or retreating to the shed. I asked him one day if he was attracted to Carla, to which he replied he just felt uncomfortable after what had happened between her and her husband, and didn't want to get caught up in it.
My husband had a weekend away planned with his buddies, a motorcycle trip, and I was looking forward to the peace and quiet. I told Carla he was going away for the weekend, and she suggested we have one of our famous pizza and Tequila weekends, and I decided it would be a great idea. Two girls drinking and eating pizza, what wasn't to look forward to!!
The weekend arrived, my husband kissed me good bye, told me to enjoy my weekend with Carla, and set off with his mates. I knew they'd drink a few beers, tell some stories and that'd be about it, not really much different to what Carla and I had planned really. She arrived in her signature jeans and baggy t shirt, carrying Tequila and Margarita mix, this was going to be a great weekend, I just knew it. We chatted about all sorts of things, girls we went to school with, teachers we liked and hated, people we worked with, songs we liked, clothes we liked and hated, fashion, all sorts as girls do!!
As you can imagine, after most other subjects were expended, the conversation turned to sex, previous lovers, potential lovers, men we'd wished we'd been with, things we enjoyed and, the lack of lately. I really must have had quite a few Tequilas, because I confessed I couldn't keep up with my husband, and that he was the best lover I'd had, and that was the problem, he satisfied me so well, I didn't need sex often. Carla simply looked down, dismayed, and said she'd never had anyone like that, and hadn't had sex for months. I jokingly said I should lend her my husband, that'd take the pressure off me, and solve her drought!! Her head lifted, and she looked at me before dropping her head, and in a quiet voice replied she'd enjoy that, but knew it'd never happen, as he was my husband, and I'd never share him, just like he'd never sleep with someone else.
We changed subject, and chatted about places we'd want to visit, but things were a little different now, a little awkward, and, what had been said couldn't be unsaid. Before long, we were back on sharing my husband, and I confessed if I was to share him, there would have to be ground rules, things like only when I knew about it and was around, no one else was to know or be involved and, most importantly, Carla wasn't to lure him away from me, he is still my husband. I also told her I wasn't sure he'd go for it, and we'd have to work out a way to discuss it with him. We decided the best way was to just be blunt, and sit him down with the both of us.
Carla left Sunday morning, before my husband arrived home, and I was still hung over when he turned up, which led to him teasing me a little, and a perfect excuse for me to decline his vague and half-hearted attempt to lure me to bed. He had really given up in a lot of ways, and was really only going through the motions on the off chance that maybe something may happen and that I'd be agreeable to his advances. A guy can be hopeful, right? Later that night, during a lull in the tv and conversation I couldn't contain myself, I had to know, so I blurted out that Carla was interested in sleeping with him, and that I was ok with that happening, with certain conditions. He was stunned, and got quite upset with me, telling me I was the only woman he wanted, and that he couldn't believe I wanted to pimp him out. He got off the couch, and left the room. I was a bit taken aback, I thought since we weren't intimate as often as he wanted, he'd be open to the idea.
I left things for a few days, and didn't mention it. He seemed to calm down, but never spoke of it. I talked to Carla, and she seemed upset, almost as if she had pinned her hopes on it happening. I could hear the disappointment in her voice, and her resignation to a longer sexless dry spell. I reassured her she could get a man if she wanted, but she told me she didn't want to go through the dating hassle, she'd tried it, but there were wasn't a lot of genuine guys out there. She made a last-minute plea, what if she came around and tried talking to my husband? I told her I'd think about it, and get back to her.
It took me a few days; did I really want my husband sleeping with another woman? Could I trust Carla not to pursue him, or that he might prefer her? Could I trust that it'd be nothing more than sex, that they wouldn't develop feelings for each other? I decided I'd ask her to come around Saturday night, we'd have a few drinks, a BBQ, relax and see what happened. I arranged everything for the BBQ, and gave Carla a time. I didn't tell my husband what was going to happen, or that Carla was coming over.
