The Animal.
If you have ever studied the animal kingdom, or even watched one of those TV programmes narrated by David Attenborough, you will know that the main task of any male animal is to mate with as many females as possible, to spread his genes far and wide. Some species, Lions for example, will even kill the cubs of other male Lions before mating with the females of the pride.
When you look at it, humans are just another species of animal on this planet of ours. I accept that civilisation has in many ways made us more intelligent and clever; given us the power to reason, allowed us to step foot on the moon, develop medicine, all sorts of tech, but when you look more closely, we are still not far removed from the cave man who would mate with any female he could lay hands on. He would of course try to keep any other male at arm's length, to make sure he kept his harem to himself, and not let some sneaky bastard tap a few of his ladies while he was out hunting or otherwise occupied.
Females would of course look on it from a slightly different angle. Back when we all wore animal skins, she would look to mate with the strongest and fittest male she could find. Her aim was to raise strong healthy children, so weaklings need not apply when it came to breeding with her.
Over the last several thousand years, things have become a little more complicated. Many of the big fit and healthy "Jocks" might have an IQ of a fish. Yes, they were impressive specimens to look at but when it comes to providing for the "little woman at home" they were often restricted to manual employment with not much hope of progression up the greasy pole. The "nerd" or "geek" however, while often not much to look at, quite often was an intelligent guy who exceled at Uni, got a good degree and moved into well paid managerial positions.
The female of the species now had a difficult decision to make. Did she mate with the "Jock who would give her big healthy children, but little money to spend, or should she go for the "nerd" who could give her a big comfortable home and a lifestyle the "Jock" could only dream about?
Some women would try and have their cake and eat it of course, choosing to marry and live with the "nerd" but sneak off to mate with the "Jock" whenever she could. The nerd therefore needed to learn ways of keeping his women close enough to deter the Jock, while letting her think she had freedom do go and do what she likes with his complete trust.
Of course it's not all like this. Many Jocks are clever and climb the greasy pole of life quite well, and at the same time not all nerds are clever and do well in life. Anyway, the stereotype is close enough to be true most of the time.
So, here I am, not exactly a "Jock" and not exactly a "Nerd" either. Sure I've played a bit of sport now and then, but nothing serious and not to any sort of standard. I stand 6 foot 2 inches tall and am not a skinny bloke, so I am more or less well built. I am not a Gym bunny and see no point on spending a shed load of cash on gym membership when moderate exercise can be had for free. I didn't excel at school, but did well enough to get to uni and managed to get a middle level degree. Mind you the fact that I have any sort of a uni degree puts me in the top 30% of the population, so maybe that makes me more a nerd than not. I work at a well-known engineering company but won't tell you which one. I have been there 10 years and am a middle manager at the moment, hoping to move up the greasy pole as time goes on. My name? Well for the benefit of the story, call me Ray. I am married to a girl we will call Sarah. Not her real name of course, but I don't need people working out who I am. I would have a lot to lose should that happen.
Sarah and I have been married 8 years now and have a 6 year old son. Sarah regained her figure fairly quickly after his birth and is, well at least I think so, a bit of a "looker" More than a few times I've overheard guys telling each other in the pub or the club that they wouldn't turn her out of bed if they had the chance to give her one! It makes me proud that she is mine when I hear that sort of stuff, but it also makes me keep my guard up. People need to see me as an Alpha male around my woman to keep them away. Its human nature that men should try to bed her, and also human nature that I need to protect her from them, and fight for her should it come to that.
You read all sorts of shit in porn mags and on the internet, but you need to remember that they are just stories and most, if not all, will be made up. I suppose there may well be men out there that enjoy watching their women being banged by other men, but I just can't understand why they would do that. Any bloke that tried that on with Sarah would find himself with a lump of 4 x2 timber wrapped round his skull and the toe cap of my size 11 boots where his teeth used to be. It's the same with this "hot wife" crap. If Sarah showed any sign of wanting to shag another bloke, she would find herself living on the street in short order, and the bloke she wanted to shag? Well, I've already mentioned my reaction to that crap. What's mine is mine, and God help anybody who tries to get in the way of that.
You see, while I am an educated modern bloke, if you scratch the surface I am just an animal underneath, and act much the same way as my distant ancestors would have done. I also expect every other man on the planet to act that way as well, hence why I ride close shotgun on my wife, even though she might not notice it all the time.
Sarah of course is just a female animal, and had to decide which of her many male acquaintances she would decide to mate with while she was still single. She wasn't a virgin when I met her, so I guess she had sampled a few to help make her decision, but although I might not be built like Mr Universe, I was in fair shape, and had a fair wedge of cash behind me. Being a smart woman, she settled for me. What she got is a comfortable 4 bed detached house, her own BMW, good holidays a fair bit of disposable income and a good sex life, which I try hard to keep varied and "new" to stop the whole sex thing becoming routine and boring. My job was to keep earning enough to keep her with me and to beat off every other male who might try and bed her with a big stick. 8 years along and so far, so good I think.
Do I trust her? Of course I do, but I also believe in "trust, but verify". Every now and then I will turn up where I am not expected, often with flowers or some gift to make it look innocent. I come home early now and then, or if she is with friends I will find a reason to phone the friend to speak with her. I have also checked on her mobile phone, although she is smart enough to have a second burner phone if she was up to something. Do we love each other? Yes of course we do, whatever that means. We go out together, we sleep together, and the sex is very good in fact. I take her places, treat her well and spoil her rotten. What else would she need?
There is of course another side of me. I said earlier that early man, like most other creatures would spread his genes far and wide if he could. Well, I guess that goes for me to. I don't go out of my way looking for pussy, but every now and then an opportunity arises, and I will take advantage of it. Am I a hypocrite? I suppose I am in the eye of some people. From my point of view I am just a man doing the things that the male of the species is supposed to do. Mind you, in these modern times fathering bastard children far and wide would bankrupt me so condoms and birth control pills are the order of the day.
You might be surprised at the number of young girls who make it quite plain that should I bestow my favour on them, they would be only too willing to become my mistress. Mistresses are not a good idea. They are expensive to run and in effect end up as more or less a second wife. I much more prefer the odd one night stand, or a couple of friends with benefits. It's a lot less complicated. That's not to say I don't shag them a few times before I let them down gently and tell them it's over between us. It's not a big deal as there is always a never ending supply of new willing pussy out there.
