1 β Me
My name is Diana Roberts. I am 48 years old. I live in a large metropolitan area in Canada. I am married but no longer living with my husband, and I have two sons, Robby, who is 23 and who is currently attending medical school here in the city we live in, and Toby who is a year and a bit younger and whom I haven't seen in a while.
My husband's name is Bob and we had been married for over 20 years when Bob decided he no longer wanted to live with me. He reconciled himself to the fact that he was gay and decided he wanted to spend the latter years of his life living in that community and doing what he felt he should have been doing all along. Bob was very successful financially, and he currently supports Robby and I very well. I had only found out he was gay about four years ago, and while I had suspicions at times, I was quite surprised and hurt that he had been having affairs with men for a number of years without me being aware of it.
I believe I am still a fairly attractive woman at 48. I am well built and I keep myself in good shape by working out regularly at running and aerobics. I am tall and I like to think that my weight is proportional to my height, but that is a little optimistic, I suppose. Like most people I have to watch what I eat to keep my weight under control and that has been a little harder to do since Bob left since it is hard to get up the energy to cook the right food when I am alone. It is easier when Robby is home. I think my bum is a little too wide and that my breasts are a little too large, and that has always bothered me a little, but one learns to live with those kinds of imperfections. I am also noticing that the aging lines around my eyes and mouth are becoming more noticeable with time, but what can one do except make the best of it. My hair is long and dark and I usually wear it down over my shoulders. My eyes are green and they sometimes take on a pale sea green color in certain lights, something people who know me have mentioned several times. I belong to a health club and I try to get there to work out at least four or five times a week. It has also become sort of a social outlet for me and I have met many wonderful women there, several who are in the same boat as I am, divorced and about my age. After we work out or take a class together, we sit around and chat, exchanging stories about our husbands and life in general with and without men.
As I said, I have rather large breasts for my body size. My breasts have always been quite firm and shapely, although lately a number of blue veins are starting to show more and more through my skin. My nipples are not overly big but the brown area around them is sometimes quite prominent. Lately, they have been starting to sag a bit, and I guess that age is catching up with me. I also have pretty good legs and I have always managed to attract attention from other men, although I was always rather put-offish to them and never once did I ever invite an advance from any of the men who tried to flirt with me over the years.
Our sexual life was never an exciting one. We did have sex on a regular basis, but when I think back, I now realize that Bob was very selfish about sex and only seemed to want oral sex, and only one way. He was always quite content to have me suck his penis whenever he wanted me too, and while it didn't happen every day, when he wanted me to do that for him, he was very demanding about it. He seldom touched me and we seldom had intercourse together. He would always want to ejaculate into my mouth and once he was finished doing that, it would be the end of our sexual encounter, even though I tried to get him to please me too. That should have been a clue, I guess, but not having had much experience prior to our marriage, I guess I was too naΓ―ve and accepting of things.
So, you can see that my life has been pretty mundane for quite a few years, and because of the relationship with my husband, I never thought much about sex and thought that this kind of relationship was just the norm for folks of our age.
When Bob left me, I looked for some work for a while, but at my age, I was unsuccessful in getting any. I did not have to work and I had enough money to support myself, but I thought I should work anyway to keep myself occupied.
I did buy a computer soon after Bob left and with the help of my son I learned how to use it and became quite efficient with it. I don't know what it was or why, but I seemed to come by its use quite naturally and I soon found myself signing on to the internet and locating different web sites. I have been enjoying it immensely.
I was soon exposed to a whole world of weirdness and interesting stuff while surfing and playing around on the net. I had heard about porn and stuff being a problem, and I guess I was a bit curious to find out what all the fuss was about, so with a determination I didn't realize I had, I signed on to and tried out all kinds of sites. I got an e-mail address and I found chat sites, catalog sites, picture sites, and everything else there is on the net.
I could not believe that there was so much sex going on around me. As I mentioned earlier, my sexual experience had been pretty much limited to Bob and then limited in general. Now, the more I learned on the net, the more intrigued I became by what I might have been missing. And boy, had I ever been missing a lot. I couldn't believe what I could see and hear and do with my computer when it came to sex.
I had always had a sort of sub-conscious interest in high heel shoes, although I never owned any really high ones. We always dressed rather conservatively and my highest pair of heels was probably only about 2 or so inches high, but I was always fascinated by other women I saw at parties or out shopping who wore much higher heels. I recall when I was quite young that I used to sometimes try to walk in my Mom's heels when she was out. And when I went shopping for shoes, I often found myself looking at the very high heeled ones and wondering what it would be like to walk in them, but I never got up the courage to buy any. I soon found that there were all kinds of mail-order web sites that sold shoes, and I then found myself thinking that maybe I should order a pair after all these years.
After searching for quite a while, I settled on a pair of red open-toed sandals that had a very high heel. They looked so pretty and sexy in the picture and when you read the description it sounded like they were guaranteed to attract the first man that saw them. I also got very brazen and decided to order a red and black garter belt and some black fashion stockings with seams. The garter belt looked very sexy and it had five straps on each leg that attached to the hose. I had never worn a garter belt in my life, so you can imagine how excited I was when I settled on the one I wanted. I was nervous about providing credit card information but soon got over that and placed an order.
I was as nervous as a schoolgirl on her first date while waiting for that first order to arrive. It only took two days, and then I was afraid to answer the door when I saw the express truck parked in our driveway, as I thought the driver probably knew what was in the package. I was nervous and embarrassed but then pleased to find out that there were no markings on the package to indicate what was inside.
I couldn't wait to open the box when the man left, and I was delightfully surprised to find exactly what I had ordered. I immediately went up to my room, undressed totally, then put on the garter belt and stockings and then the shoes. The shoes I ordered had heels that must have been at least 5 inches high, and I probably should have ordered something lower for my first pair, but I was determined to learn how to walk in them, no matter what. But that was harder than I thought, and I found myself tottering and having a lot of trouble, not to speak of the sharp pains that shot through the calves of my legs. I couldn't stand in them for very long because of the pain, so I sat on the edge of the bed looking at myself in the mirrored doors of the closet.
Imagine a woman approaching 50 looking at herself in the mirror with her legs open, wearing only a garter belt, hosiery and with a pair of 5 inch heels on her feet. For some reason I felt very sexy and attractive, and then I started to run my fingers over the stockings and the open part of my legs above the tops of them and over my breasts. I hadn't felt much sexual yearning for a long time, and I had seldom masturbated but now I could not stop myself. I started to play with myself and soon found myself moaning with pleasure and it wasn't long before I had one of the nicer orgasms that I could remember.
With practice I soon learned to walk in the shoes and it wasn't long before I could keep them on for quite a while. Whenever I was alone in the house I would undress and put my heels and the garters on and with the blinds drawn, I would do my chores or sit at my computer dressed like that. It wasn't long before I ordered other pairs of shoes and several other bras and things. I was becoming obsessed and tried to find the sexiest types of bras, camisoles and even some corsets and girdles, all with straps to hold up the stockings I ordered, since I found it so refreshing not to be enclosed by pantyhose.
My feet are very easy to fit and ordering from the net has worked very well for me. The big advantage of buying this way of course is the incredible variety of styles that are available and I have been able to get myself several pair of very exotic shoes. One problem is that I only wear them around the house when I am alone as I am still not comfortable wearing some of the more exotic ones outside of the house. Since being on the net, I have also come to realize that my interest in my shoes and hose would probably be considered a fetish by many. It was not long before I had about a dozen pair of shoes, and I even ordered some long high-heeled boots that I enjoy wearing very much also.
