While we were having our post round beers in the 19
th
hole today one of my buddies was telling us about a couple he knew who had an open marriage. It wasn't one of these cuckold deals you see on the internet where the husband gets off on the idea of some big black stud doing his wife. This was just a couple that honestly felt each should have the freedom to occasionally screw someone else. They still lived together and claimed to be very much in love. But their definition of love didn't include the constraint of monogamy.
All three of my buddies were outraged by the idea. They weren't so offended by a husband that steps out occasionally, but a wifeβno that was an idea beyond all notions of decency. After a couple of beers they really got into it with all sorts of chest thumping about how they would get revenge if their wives ever did such a thing. To be fair too them, my friends are generally pretty good guys, but they can be Neanderthals about a few issues.
I guess they didn't notice that I was unusually quiet. I had a good deal more up close and personal experience with open marriages, but I saw no reason to share it with them, so I just kept my mouth shut and they were so busy beating their chests, they didn't notice my uncharacteristic silence. I should be clear about this. None of my marriages were open marriages by any definition of the term. Admittedly I was a serial philanderer in each of the marriages, but, so far as I know, none of my spouses strayed, and we certainly didn't have an agreement permitting either of us to fool around with impunity. I have three divorces to prove it.
But, given my inability to say no, I have had affairs with several women who were participants in such a relationship. Which was the most memorable one? Probably the Orinda Soccer Moms Club (and yes, there were several marriages involved).
The Orinda Soccer Moms Club consisted of three women who had certain things in common. They were all in their early to mid-thirties; all three were reasonably attractive, not movie star grade mind you, but still attractive; all three loved to fuck men (and women) they weren't married to (in addition to their spouses), which kind of made them sluts; and they didn't look the part at all. In appearance they were classic young-ish suburban stay at home moms (all three had at least a couple of children). Oh, and all three had negotiated an open marriage arrangement with their spouses. The Orinda Soccer Moms Club was a name I gave them. They loved it. They loved my dick too.
Of course I didn't know any of this when I met them. I had recently escaped from my second marriage (or perhaps I should say I had been ejected) and I was in Las Vegas for a tech conference. It had just ended and I had elected to stay over for an additional day or two, before I went home to the tiny apartment near SFO I had rented after my wife got our house in Menlo Park.
It was Saturday evening and I was sitting with my back to a bar in one of the big casinos watching the people wandering through the gaming floor. I don't like to gamble myself, but I don't know of a better place to watch people than on the gaming floor of a casino. There were three gals were lined up at the bar next to meβa blonde and two brunettes. They were chattering away about where they were going to meet men. I sat, nursing a scotch and listening. I was surprised to learn that they were all from Orinda, another Bay Area suburb near where I had grown up. They had togged out a bit for their trip to Vegas, but they didn't look like hookers or some of the women you see in Vegas that are so slutty lookingβjust nicely dressed suburban housewives. I just kept my mouth shut and listened. It became clear that they were on a girls' weekend out and all three had received what they called a "hall pass" from their husbands. Now their challenge was to find a man or men to take advantage of their hall pass.
After listening for a while, I turned sideways and said to the blonde sitting next to me, "I couldn't help hearing you're from Orinda. I grew up near there, Walnut Creek, but I live across the Bay now." I didn't want them to think I was a neighbor that might bring stories back home. After all, what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas, as they say.
"Really," she said. "It's a small world." She and I chatted for a few minutes, just letting each other know basic things like names (Andrew and Sarah) and occupations (software salesman and stay at home mom).
"Can I buy you another drink?" I had noticed that her drink was empty.
"I'd love too, but I'm here with my friends and we . . . "
"No problem. They look like they could use another drink too. Let's get another round and move to a table. Her friends were listening, and they nodded in agreement. Soon we were at a table with a fresh round in front of us and we were repeating the names and occupations drill (Janey and Sally, both stay at home moms like Sarah).
As we worked our way through our second drink I learned that all three had children (Sally two in 2
nd
and 4
th
grades; Janey three in 1
st
, 4
th
and 6
th
grades; and Sarah two in 3
rd
and 5th grades); they had met when they were sorority sisters in college (Alpha Phi at Cal); and all three had worked until children came along. Their husbands, who they had met in college, were all either bankers or lawyers in the City (I couldn't keep track of which was which) and they had all grown up in Sacramento, about the same time I was growing up in Walnut creek. Oh and they all had been members of each others' wedding parties.
By this time were well into our third drink. Sarah leaned over and asked, "What about you Andrew. What's your history?"
I gave the expurgated version. I confessed to my two divorces, but I left out the more sordid details (especially Lisa and Mrs. E. and their complicated relationships with my parents). After explaining about the Tech Conference I had attended, I asked, "So what brings you girls to Vegas?"
"Oh it's just a girls weekend out," Janey said.
"Yes," Sally jumped in. "Our dear sweet husbands told us to take our credit cards and go to Vegas for a weekend of fun while they went down to Carmel for golf."
"I see", I said. "I heard someone mention a 'hall pass.' What's that about?"
Sarah blushed and said, "Oops, you weren't supposed to hear that."
"Oh come, come Andrew," Sally said. "After two divorces you must know what a 'hall pass' is."
"Well, if means what I think it means, I've never had one . . ."
"Which is why you've been divorced twice?" Sarah asked.
Now it was my turn to blush. "Well, I guess that's right. You see my problem is that I just can't say no."
All three girls laughed. Then they sat in silence looking at me like an item on a desert tray.
Sarah leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Do you have a big dick, Andrew." She had a hand on my thigh that was quickly working its way up.
I looked at her trying to decide how to respond. Her hand was in my lap now, massaging my dick which was rapidly becoming a much larger dick than it had been.
"Well?" she asked.
"Some people have said I do. It's not something I advertise."
This brought the other two to life.
"What," said Sally. "What do people say you do?"
