Authors note: The following story is mostly fantasy although some of it is based in my personal experience. I'd like to thank ChickpeaAlpha for reading the first draft of this story. She did correct the original draft's grammatical and spelling errors. But she made several suggestions which led me to go back to work and rewrite the whole story.
I hope you like it because what was originally 12 pages long has now turned into a much longer work as new ideas keep coming to my head as I write.
Robert and Vanessa are in their early forties and they have been married for twenty years. They live in a suburb of a mid-western city, a quiet neighborhood of upper middle income families. Robert and Vanessa live in house with three bedrooms and a nice fenced backyard. They converted one of the bedrooms into a sort of study for both of them. Robert has an interest in photography and Vanessa likes to paint landscapes. The other bedroom serves as a guest room and for their two sons when they visit. They are both away at college and only come home a few times a year, mostly during the holidays.
They have been friends with Edward and Pamela for several years. They live a couple of streets away and Edward works for the same company as Robert, they are both middle level executives although in different areas, Robert is in marketing and Edward in engineering. Pamela works part time at a local boutique and they have no children. Edward shares Robert's interest in photography but he admits that Robert is better photographer.
The two couples consider themselves to be somewhat liberal. Both Robert am Edward, share many of the same viewpoints and attitudes. Pamela is a very easygoing and extroverted person while Vanessa is more reserved.
They all get together at least every other week, usually for a cookout at either of their places. They share many common interests so their conversations are always lively. Usually, when they get together, and after a few beers or glasses of wine their conversations usually turn to sexual topics. They talk about them openly and unabashedly. They flirt with each other and dance with each other very closely most of the time but they haven't gone any further than that.
That is, until one day when Robert and Vanessa went over to Edward and Pamela's place for lunch and everything began to change. They had some steaks and a salad in their yard; since it was a warm summer evening, the four of them were wearing shorts and the ladies had on their bikini tops. They had a good French cabernet wine with the meal and when they finished eating, Edward opened another bottle.
They were sitting in the backyard finishing their last glass of wine when, quite unexpectedly, Edward asked, "Have you ever made a video of yourselves while you are having sex?"
"No, of course not!" Vanessa promptly answered. "Why did you ask? Have you?" she added.
"Well, yes we have," Edward said. "As a matter of fact, we've made several."
"And Ed also likes to take pictures of me. We have lots of them," Pamela added, "with and without clothes."
"Well, no, we've never done anything like that," Vanessa said. "But Bob has suggested it several times, especially when we were younger. But I never felt comfortable with the idea, so we haven't."
"You know I'd still like to do it some time, honey," Robert said.
"If I didn't do it when I was younger, I don't think I'm ready for it now," Vanessa said quite firmly.
"Why not?" Pamela asked. "You're very attractive. We thought you guys might have done it, you know. Why, Bob is a great photographer and I bet he would take some amazing pictures".
"Yes," Edward added. "We thought for sure you had done something of the sort, you know. Especially since you like photography and filming so much; we've seen some great videos you've made of your family parties and vacations, and the editing you've done on some of them is great, too."
"Well, as we said," Robert replied, "I've tried to get Van to pose for me in the nude on several occasions, but since she's been reluctant, we've never done it."
"Besides, what would we do with that sort of pictures? We can't show them to our family and friends," Vanessa said. "What do you do with the ones you have?"
"Before, we just looked at them every now and then," Pamela said. "The pictures, you know."
"And the videos," Edward continued, "We like to watch those to get in the mood for lovemaking. It turns us on more. We usually end up having some wild sex afterwards."
"Before?" Vanessa asked. "What do you do now?"
"Well some time ago, I caught Ed looking at a porno site on Internet," Pamela said. "I was kind of pissed off at first. But then I started looking with him. It's a site where people post their own pictures and videos."
"You're kidding!" Vanessa said, surprised.
"No, really!" Pamela replied. "There are pictures of all kinds of people, mostly women of all shapes and sizes, and couples and groups fucking and sucking and all sorts of stuff."
"Well, the thing is," Edward said, "A couple of months ago I convinced Pam to let me post some pictures of her on this site, and a couple of weeks ago we posted a video of us having sex."
"Really?" Vanessa said, even more surprised, "I don't believe it. Aren't you afraid someone will recognize you? Or that friends might see them?"
"Well, not really," Edward answered. "We didn't use our names and you can't see her face on any of the pictures, or on the video. It's just our bodies showing."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Vanessa said. "I don't think I could ever do something like that."
"Well, we thought you might have done it already," Edward went on. "But anyway, there's something we wanted to ask you. You see, the videos we've made are kind of... I don't know how to say it. I just set the camera on a tripod and we do it. Most of the videos on the site are like that, but there are some with close ups and different angles. We tried that once and the result wasn't all that bad, but it's too much of a hassle, if you know what I mean, holding the camera and getting the right angle or working the zoom with the remote or changing the position of the camera while having sex. You kind of lose it and have to get all started again."
"So what did you wanted to ask us?" Robert said.
"Well, since we like the videos you've made so much, we're wondering if you'd like to shoot a video of us," Edward said, "You know, while we're having sex."
Robert was surprised by the proposal and he took a few moments to answer, looking first at Edward, then at Pamela y finally at his wife. He could see the expression of surprise on her face. "Would you be OK doing that?" Robert asked, "I mean, having sex in front of someone."
