Should I Marry The Polyamorous Girl?
Chapter 4 -- Fuck That Long Weekend!
An exhausting anniversary celebration of our first year.
Thanksgiving day was a day with my family, and we ended up at my mother's house for a big Thanksgiving feast.
"You know what's going to happen," I snarked as we got in the car for the drive over. Every time we get together with my family, they're going to ask me why we're not married yet, and they'll ask you separately why we're not married yet, and then they'll compare our answers for a gotcha."
"The easy response I'll give them is that I'm a dirty slut who likes to fuck three different men and a woman every day," she laughed. "They won't ask again after that!"
"Well, every relationship has it's quirks," I grinned.
"I give them the same answer every time -- I'm a free spirit and don't want to get tied down to obligations."
"That's not so different than 'the dirty slut' answer," I chuckled.
Tethys became serious for a moment. "I know on some level you're afraid that I'm going to fall into a 'loose lips sink ships' type of confession, because I'm always so open and explicit with you about who I'm fucking and when and how and why. That's not something you'll ever have to worry about, Taylor. Just because we don't have secrets between us doesn't mean we can't have shared secrets. Our sex life is nobody's business except ours and the people we have sex with."
"You haven't revealed anything sensitive yet, so I feel like I can trust you," I responded. "It doesn't upset me, in fact on some level it thrills me a little, but I'm still not really used to how direct and casual you are about discussing your sexuality. Sometimes I cringe instinctively because you don't use 'socially acceptable' euphemisms, you just come right out and chat like it's every day conversation about how you're fucking me or Carl or Henri or Sonia, and about cocks and cunts and cum drinking and all that good pornographic stuff. I mean, it's kind of cool how boldly obscene and lewd and nasty you talk, I love it. I'm just glad you don't talk like that to my conservative and fragile-eared family."
"I know my audience," Tethys smiled. "For people that are not part of our sex life, the priority is to be discrete. Except in an environment like Hippie Hollow where I love to show off my fucking and sucking capabilities to naked strangers! But then again, it's still a matter of context. For you and Carl and Henri and Sonia, being one hundred percent explicitly honest, with no room for diplomatic ambiguity is an ethical choice that I made consciously. In fact, I made it the night I finally admitted to myself I was actually polyamorous, before that date where I opened up to you about it. Until that moment, I hadn't even used the term to describe myself, I didn't even consider whether it applied to me. When I realized I wanted to have a deep emotional relationship that I could share with both you and Carl, it was kind of frightening, but it was also liberating. I wanted to be able to flaunt my sexuality and not suppress it, and you and Carl have allowed me to do that. And you know what? It's fun to be able to talk like a filthy whore without being judged for it. It's kind of a turn-on, actually."
I laughed, "So you're an
ethical
filthy whore!"
"You laugh now, but you have no idea what's on my bookshelf, do you?"
"All I've noticed is art books and a few novels."
"I got a new one a few months ago. It's literally titled
The Ethical Slut.
It deals with how honest you have to be to handle the partners you're involved with when you're polyamorous or just promiscuous. Honestly, it gets a little sanctimonious in places, but it's kind of refreshing to know you can be ethically immoral."
"Ethically immoral," I mused. "I never thought of there being a distinction, but I like where I think you're going with this."
"It was kind of a sudden revelation as I was reading it," she agreed. "Then as I thought about it more I realized it applies to everything we can classify as right or wrong."
"Everything?"
She was warming to the topic now. "Part of it is how you define the ideas. It makes the most sense to me to think of morality as the behaviors and attitudes and beliefs that a particular society considers desirable. Since cultures are different, moral standards differ between them. But ethics is not rooted so much in culture but in our human identity, our sense of sympathy and empathy. In its way, it transcends culture. Which means ethics transcends morality. You might be in a position where you have to choose between them, and for me, that means ethics takes priority over morality."
"What an interesting take," I encouraged her to continue. "You can do some deep analysis that way."
"Exactly!" she enthused. "It's very useful. For example, I was thinking about the Aztecs of ancient Mexico. They had such a high civilization, a sophisticated priesthood, even religious handbooks. Everything I've read indicates that they had a well-developed sense of morality, and they could explain it and teach it on a philosophical level. But as human beings, to cut the beating hearts out of thousands of people based on a superstitious religious belief can't possibly be ethical. So here's a huge contradiction between morality and ethics."
I was impressed. Not only could Tethys blow my cock, she could blow my mind as well. I felt lucky to be exposed to both her body and her mind. Sharing her sexuality with whoever she chose was a small price to pay in return.
Thanksgiving with the family turned out well, the men enjoyed the football games, the women enjoyed their girl talk, the kids enjoyed vying for our attention, and of course we all enjoyed the turkey dinner. No major bombs were dropped, no major scandals were revealed, and no major embarrassments ensued. Even the political discussions remained even-keeled, unlike so many others I'd heard about. The next day and night, Black Friday, Tethys and I stayed at home, spending a quiet evening celebrating the first anniversary of our chance meeting in the mall.
"Quiet", is of course a subjective concept. It's one way to describe the most extensive night and day and night of sex I had ever spent in my life up to that point. Getting back to my place on Thursday night, we threw off our clothes, brushed our teeth, and jumped in the shower. What followed was essentially thirty hours of fucking, sucking, licking, caressing, orgasming, groaning, moaning, laughing, gasping, panting... with a little necessary eating, sleeping, pissing, pooping, and additional showering thrown in as breaks in the action. And then we did it all again.
Tethys didn't consider herself a foreplay kind of girl, she was actually kind of off and on with it. It's probably more accurate to say she was an
afterplay
type of girl. When she was horny she wanted to fuck first, and once she'd taken the edge off of her desperation, she settled down and got into slow sensual touches and tastes. That was lucky for me on that day, because it gave me at least a little recovery time. As it was, by the time Saturday morning rolled up, and she headed off to Carl's for her sloppy seconds adventure, I was more than ready to donate her to him.
I was usually good for two ejaculations on a good day, and I could do three if I'd had a no-jizz day prior. From Thursday night until Saturday morning I counted five, and then I was useless for the next day and night, and not just sexually. I could barely get out of bed, and when Tethys texted me a video of her and Carl fucking on Saturday morning, and then again Saturday evening, all I could do was hang my head and moan "better him than me!"
