Half-jokingly, we had talked about it before.
I'd never done it, but she knew of my fantasies about giving men blow jobs. Sometimes in bed we'd tease each other with whispered made-up scenarios of me with a guy. That added electricity to our sex life.
I occasionally hinted playfully that we should visit a glory hole. Then she could watch me do the perverse things we'd whispered. She'd hesitate and say that she'd heard those places were dirty. Not for people like us. And she'd wonder why I wanted to do it with unseen men and without being seen myself.
I didn't have a good answer for that, and I never pushed it.
But we did have fun with that fantasy sometimes.
Yet more often than she knew, that it was on my mind. When I imagined it, a kind of thrill ran through my body.

Time went by, and I had no expectation that it would ever happen for real. So I am a little surprised to be writing this about how we found ourselves in a semi-dark booth in an adult sex shop.
The shop was two towns over from where we lived, so no doubt that helped. Likely nobody we knew would see us there.
We'd also shared a bottle of wine over dinner at a classy restaurant, and no doubt that helped too. We were both dressed up, she in a sexy dress and me in a smart casual summer suit. The warm, humid evening and our teasing banter over dinner had gotten us both feeling playful.
Still, it took an accident of parking. The restaurant's tiny lot was full when we'd arrived at dusk so we'd parked around the corner and down a block. After supper, when we returned to the car we noticed a neon sign glowing red in the dark night, just half a block further down: XXX ADULT XXX.
We both looked at each other.
I had long sensed she was more than intrigued, despite her reservations about such places. Half the time she was the one who whispered scenarios about men doing sexual things to each other. Especially the one that we returned to most often: she was as turned on by fantasies of seeing me suck a cock as I was by imagining her watching me while I did it.
Not twenty minutes earlier in the restaurant we'd been teasing each other. Our waiter was handsome and more than once I'd caught her staring at him. More than once she'd caught me staring too.
"He's gorgeous, isn't he?" she whispered to me as he walked away after uncorking the wine and pouring for us.
I'm pretty sure we'd both noticed how tight his pants were.
A little later she'd leaned across the table, bringing her head close to mine. "I was just thinking about your lips on his cock," she whispered with a grin, and then leaned back to take a sip of wine and observe the effect of her words on my face.
"You're making me hard," I said. Too late I noticed that I had unconsciously licked my lips.
She smiled at that, then turned her head again to stare at our waiter, letting her eyes wander over him. I did too, when the opportunity arose.
After I'd paid the check, leaving a generous tip for our sexy waiter, I couldn't wait to get home and into bed so we could take our fantasy talk to the next level.
But now we were confronted with the red neon XXX ADULT XXX, and it was like a siren luring us to untasted delights.
Simultaneously we both spoke. "Let's see what it's like," she said. "Let's check it out," I said.

The left side of the store was filled with aisles of movies, and the right side was given to sex toys and costumes. At least this part of the store seemed clean.
I'm not sure if she noticed, but right away I saw the doorway in the back with a VIDEO BOOTHS THRU HERE sign above it.
I gave her a few minutes to browse the movies, seeing what caught her attention. I know that her mood matched mine when we dwelled in the gay section, taking in the lurid cover images and titles.
She pointed to one showing a slender, dark-haired man on his knees before an extremely well-built man with his pants down around his ankles. "That could be you," she said in an undertone. The man on his knees did have my coloring and body type.
"And isn't he a greedy boy." She was pointing to another cover showing a man on his haunches, each of his hands gripping a wet, erect penis. Thick strands of sperm covered both sides of his face. It was simultaneously gross and something I suddenly wanted to do.
"That's hot" I said. I was suddenly feeling over-heated in my lightweight summer suit.
At that moment she leaned into me and whispered in my ear, "That guy over there is staring at you."
I whispered back, "More likely he's staring at you."
"No," she said, "Look for yourself."
I followed her gaze and saw a big guy standing at the side of the darkened doorway that led to the video booths. He had dark brown hair and broad shoulders. His face was angular and masculine. Something about his body's posture gave an aura of power.
He was definitely looking my way. That was flattering, and I felt a thrill of something go through me, knowing that a man was looking at me that way. He noticed me returning his gaze, and gave a small smile. Then he glanced up at the sign that said VIDEO BOOTHS THRU HERE.
She whispered again, "I think he's touching himself."
Looking down I noticed subtle movements from his right hand, which was thrust deep into his pants pocket. There was a sizeable bulge.
He saw the direction of my eyes, and continued stroking himself. When I met his gaze again, he nodded his head briefly and then walked through the doorway into the semi-dark hallway.
"I think he wants us to follow him," I said.
"He wants you to follow him," she corrected.
Then I heard words that I never really expected my wife to utter:
"Here's your chance, fantasy man. That big male needs help with that large bulge in his pants, and he wants you."
* *
I felt like my legs might give out, but I braced myself. We moved through the doorway and into the semi-darkness.
In the low light I noticed several men standing at various points along the long, narrow hallway with a dozen doors with lights above them, some red and some green. The men's features were unclear, but it was clear they were all checking us out. I grabbed my wife's hand, and felt we were both trembling with anticipation.
The man we'd followed was toward the end of the hall, holding open a door with a green light above it. He beckoned us. We passed by several of the other men, not making eye contact, and approached him and the open door.
He gestured us in, and as we passed through the narrow door he whispered "Watch movie number six. Or number nine."
I half-turned to make sure the door shut behind my wife and me, and as it closed I noticed that he never took his eyes off me.
* *
It took us a moment to adjust our eyes to the dimmer light. The air smelled close as I took in our surroundings.
"It's cleaner than I imagined," she said. "Men can be such pigs," she said. "You know what sorts of things happen in here."
She was right. I had half-expected my shoes to stick to the floor, but someone did a half-decent job of cleaning the place.
Still, crude graffiti covered most of the walls and the air was thick with something dark and heavy. I suddenly felt out of place wearing my expensive clothing and having just eaten fine foods and tasted quality wine in a fancy restaurant. And why had I brought my wife into a place like this?
But now other appetites were rising within me, wanting satisfaction and overriding those thoughts.
My wife immediately took a seat on a chair in the back of the booth, opposite the television mounted high on the wall. She arranged the fabric of her dress around her legs, and inspected our space more carefully.
* *
We both noticed right away that the two side walls holes cut into them. In my fantasies I'd imagined such things, but the reality was stark. The holes were about a hand's width in diameter. Each was at crotch height if one were to stand in front of it.
Or face height if one were to kneel before it.
Below the television was a controller with several numbered buttons, a slot for coins, and a credit card receptacle. I didn't have any coins, so I slipped my credit card out of my wallet and swiped it. I irrationally worried for a moment that someone might see an embarrassing charge on my credit card bill next month.
The television screen lit up and prompted for a selection number.
"Six, right?" she said.
