In my practice as a therapist I see many couples and the never-ending "solutions" they devise to cope with life's challenges never cease to amaze me.
Rick and Marie were one such couple I worked with not long ago. With their permission (and false names ) I will tell you about them. Rick was a successful "alpha male" businessman, early 30's, handsome, fit, and driven. He had built his business from scratch and dreamed of passing it on to one, or more, sons, or, God forbid, a daughter.
With that in mind he had opted not for the skinny, model-type, arm candy wife that he no doubt would have preferred. Instead he had chosen Marie. And I could see why. Marie was a plus-sized, Nordic blonde with pale blue eyes and a beautiful face. She had large breasts and wide hips. She looked like the type a Viking warrior chieftain would marry to bear him many sons. Maybe Rick saw himself as just such a chieftain.
But, alas, I guess you could say his "warriors" were lacking in vigor. Starting on their honeymoon, 2 weeks at an exclusive, luxury resort on Maui, he proceeded to attempt to impregnate his new wife on a daily basis, well, day and night actually.
On their return to the luxury roof-top apartment on one of the many Manhattan buildings he owned, he continued his attempts but with no success. Obviously there had to be something wrong with Marie was his conclusion. So then began the consultations with fertility experts, numerous tests, lab reports, you name it. Everything came back indicating that Marie was in the best of health, very fertile and could get pregnant easily.
But, rather than being pleased at the good news, Rick was furious. "Dammit, then why can't SHE get pregnant!" he fumed.
In my head I was visualizing the collective healthcare team of doctors, fertility experts, consultants, lab workers and assorted personnel all turning their heads as one to look at Rick. "Yes, Rick," they asked in unison, "why can't SHE get pregnant?"
As they all stared a him it finally dawned on Rick, "What? Are you fucking kidding me?" The thought that it might be him with a problem was just not a possibility that even remotely entered his head. Hell, it wasn't even in the next galaxy!
The head doctor on the fertility team for "Marie's problem" coughed discretely into his fist, "Er, Rick, why don't we schedule you for a sperm count," he began, then seeing Rick's face darken in anger he hastily added, "just to eliminate the remote possibility it's that."
But Rick was not going to have his manhood challenged, much less tested. So he dismissed the doctor and determined to step up his game. If you know the expression, "Morning, noon and night," that pretty much summed up Rick's game plan. He would wake Marie for a pre-dawn fuck then take the elevator for the short commute to his office a few floors down in the same building. He would text her just before taking a lunch break with instructions on what she should be wearing or how she should be waiting for him. When pressed for time it might be something simple like, "I want you bare-ass naked on all fours just inside the door so I can fuck you fast and give you my load then get downstairs for an important conference call."
For her part Marie was totally compliant. She understood he had married her as his "brood mare"; her sole job being to bear him sons (hopefully). So whatever it took she was all in. A pre-dawn fuck, fine, her naked ass up in the open doorway at noon, fine, out on the rooftop balcony overlooking the city as he pounded her pussy after dinner, also fine.
This went on for months to no avail. Marie did not get pregnant despite the constant fucking Rick subjected her to daily. Finally, in desperation, Rick scheduled the sperm test. He did not for one second believe it would indicate he had a problem. He was taking it to prove that it wasn't the issue because he had begun to think Marie had a "mental block" that prevented her getting pregnant. After he proved his virility once and for all they could get her the help she needed to become pregnant.
Since their wedding night not a day had gone by that Rick hadn't fucked Marie, most days multiple times. but to "prepare" for his test he abstained for 3 days. You might think Marie welcomed the break but she told me the frequent fucking was fine by her and she resorted to dildoing herself to the morning, noon and night schedule that she and Rick had been following all these months.
A man like Rick wasn't about to debase himself by showing up at a lab for the test like an ordinary citizen. Instead he had the Lab Director come to the apartment and wait while he went into the bedroom to get his sample into the container the director had brought him. Marie served coffee and made small with the director as they waited. Finally Rick emerged looking triumphant as he handed the sample to the director who put it into a special cooled container and hurried off to the lab to process it.
Rick looked at his wife and smiled, " I jerked off twice into that container pretending it was your mouth, Marie." He walked up to her seated at the table and unzipped his trousers taking out his still semi-hard cock. With his other hand he gripped her blonde hair, tipping her head back as her glacier-blue eyes looked up at him. "Mouth open, tongue out," he demanded in the clipped way he might type her a text message before taking the elevator up at noon.
She extended her tongue and he put the head of his cock on it as he began stroking his shaft. After back to back orgasms for the sample he was determined to cum a third time, whether to prove to himself or Marie that he was the most virile man alive is anyone's guess. With continued stroking he managed to get hard again and in time he did indeed orgasm a third time. There were only a few drops that emerged from the tip but he was satisfied as they ran onto her tongue giving her a taste. He released her hair then patted her on the head in a patronizing way. "We'll resume our regular schedule this evening, my dear. I've got a lot of work to do so I'll text your when I'm done for the day."
He zipped up and went down to his office leaving Marie to do whatever it was she did in the hours between his fucking her. It never occurred to him to ask.
The next day Rick received a call from the lab. His results were in and the Director wanted to talk to him in person. Such was Rick's ego that his first thought was that his double-load had broken some sort of record both in volume and sperm count and they wanted to congratulate him in person. Alas, that was not the case. The director shook his hand then said, "I'm afraid I have some bad news, Rick." On hearing that Rick's face fell and he sat in the chair heavily, worried his worst nightmare was coming true.
"I'm infertile, you mean," he said woodenly.
"Well, technically yes," the Director replied. "But there are some options we can discuss."
"Whoa, Doc, if you mean adoption, you can forget it!" Rick blurted. "I didn't marry Marie so she can raise some kid nobody wants!"
At that point Dr G gave him one of those non-committal, tight-lipped, medical smiles that mean in his head he's thinking, "What an asshole!" but instead he said, "Well, there are other options besides adoption and in fact I can recommend someone who is outstanding in the field. Would you like her contact information?"
Rick gave a slight nod and accepted the card offered by Dr G. It was my card that was offered.
I guess at this point I should explain my role in this. As I said, I'm a therapist working mostly with couples. Fertility, or more often, infertility, was a large part of my practice. As part of my doctoral program I had done field research in several small African countries as well as with remote tribes in the Amazon rainforest. Most of my classmates were focused on specialized, traditional, Western therapies but I was fascinated and drawn to the alternative therapies found among so-called "primitive" tribes. There were techniques, therapies and plant medicines I felt could be effectively used in our Western culture by someone like myself who had a foot in each door, so to speak.
When I received a call from the Fertility Lab Director, Dr "G". I knew it was a work-related call because he addressed me as Dr "M" rather than Tamara, my first name, which he always used when the call was social. "I hope you're well, Dr and I think you'll be interested in a case that's come up." He then filled me in on the details and I agreed to review the file and let him know if I thought any of my unorthodox therapies might be applicable. He said he would email the case file over and after I read it I agreed to call him back.
I reviewed the case and agreed to offer my services so Dr G said he would schedule a consultation with the couple for sometime next week. I should say here that Dr G had been one of my thesis advisors and had been the most supportive of my non-traditional therapies research. Due to his position at the Fertility Clinic he was able to offer me opportunities like this that might otherwise leave the couple with no other options.
