Oscar felt that his wife Irene should experience a full orgasmic experience, even if it meant with another man.
I
"How was it, darling?" asked Oscar as he dismounted from his wife, Irene, having just had a wonderful orgasm.
"It was lovely. It's always a lovely experience for me. Why do you always ask me?
"Because you just don't seem to get as much out of it as you should."
"I know, I know. I should shout and scream and move around more. Well, that is just not how I behave."
"But I've been with many women and they've all responded to my love-making like that. In thirteen years you haven't. Don't you wonder if you're missing something?"
"I love you. Only you. I only want to have sex with you. Sex without love is meaningless. I'm happy with the status quo. Very happy."
"Okay. But sex without a real orgasm is also meaningless, I think. I really want you to experience a real orgasm. I would love you to feel that overwhelming experience..."
"I do, darling. I'm sure I do. I just don't show it."
"Perhaps we could try making love without me wearing a condom?"
"Darling, I do not want children. And you know birth control pills make me ill. Don't even go there!"
"Well, I don't suppose it makes that much difference," mused Oscar, "I used a condom before I knew you and the women I made love to still had tremendous orgasms."
Irene laughed. "Perhaps they were faking."
"Of course they weren't!" Oscar thought quietly before he spoke again with some trepidation. "Well, if you were to have sex with someone else then you would know."
"This again? You're always suggesting this. It's so insulting."
"I need to find out if I'm doing something wrong." He paused for a moment. "We're going on holiday in three weeks. It would be lovely if I knew that you'd experienced a real orgasm. Then during the holiday we could make sure that I was giving you real orgasms because you'd know what to expect. We could use the time to explore all types of lovemaking." He stared at her urgently.
Irene loved Oscar. She could not bear the look of worry on his face. It had been like this ever since Oscar had got it into his mind that Irene was not experiencing true orgasms. But now it seemed from the look on his face that it had finally got too much for him. She had never seen him look so concerned. She put her hands on his face.
"You really are worried. But how can I sleep with another man? It seems appalling."
"You only have to do it once. If it turns out it's me who's at fault then I will change. If it's you then we will live with it."
Irene really didn't want to. But if it would ease Oscar's worry, perhaps she could bear it just once.
"So it's really only once. You won't ask me again whatever happens?"
"No, I won't."
"You promise?"
"Yes, yes, I promise."
She sighed. "Either you're the most wonderful husband in the world or you're really sick. I suppose I should give you the benefit of the doubt." She sat looking at him for few minutes. Then she nodded her head. "I don't understand it but okay," she sighed. "If you really think I should, I'll find a lover. But I really don't see the point." She was silent for a moment. "But where do I find one? Would any of your friends be interested?"
"Renie, don't joke."
"Please, don't call me Renie! You know very well that I don't like it. My name's Irene."
"Okay, okay." He was agitated and in his agitation he had used the forbidden diminutive. Her mouth narrowed in irritation.
"You want me to find a lover? Well, where from?"
"Is there anyone in your evening class, perhaps?"
Before we go any further I need to tell you about Irene and Oscar. They are both forty and live in West London in the UK. Irene is 5 ft 4 in and has long auburn hair. She is pretty rather than beautiful. She is slim but has nice curves and long legs for her height. Above all it is her warmth and tenderness and openness and honesty that make her so touchingly desirable to Oscar. But she does, in addition, have an implicit sexiness that Oscar has always sensed but has failed to encourage in her to bring out. A few months earlier he persuaded her to buy a short skirt and some high heels but she has refused to wear them. They have lain unused in her wardrobe. She dresses well but conservatively. She always wears trousers, a dull top, and flat sensible shoes to her work, as an office manager. In fact she wears trousers most of the time, so that her well crafted body is well hidden. She wears her long hair so that it falls below her shoulders - it looks attractive but not exciting. Her conservative attitude extends towards sex: she has never given Oscar blow jobs, nor does she like the idea of him going down on her. Oscar would love a blow job and he would love to go down on her, he loves the sense of intimacy that these actions imply but Irene is strictly a vanilla girl. When they met thirteen years ago Oscar had been her first man and she had insisted that he used a condom. Even though they have now been married for ten years Oscar always uses a condom; neither Irene nor Oscar had wanted children and Irene had been scared to take a chance and, as we have seen, hated taking pills. She adores sex enormously but it was enough for Oscar to penetrate her. She did not need to experience the skin of his cock to appreciate his lovemaking.
Oscar is just under 6 ft and a little overweight, but Irene loves the way he looks. He works as a software developer. He has had fantasies of his wife having sex with another man but that is mainly to find out if he is at fault in her not having real orgasms. He knows he is a good lover. Other women have told him so. Irene has told him so. But he needs to be totally sure. He is that kind of man.
They do not go out much socially, although they will go to the theatre and cinema occasionally. They never seem to be invited to parties. Irene is quite reserved. In fact this was the other reason why Oscar wanted her to have a real orgasm. He hoped it would open her out and make her more sexy, vivacious and exciting.
