The bulk of this story is true, however there are some embellishments.
I remember the first time I met my wife. I was out of a straight relationship for a couple of years, after getting dumped by my girlfriend before the senior prom. I swore off girls, half-heartedly I admit. I kept myself busy sexually at circle jerks, adult movie theaters, and the occasional hookups with men at the local bookstore. I met my wife when I was 20, and became a one-woman, and one-person, man. It stayed that way for 6years. Then I went on to a conference in Palm Springs.
I graduated from engineering school, and soon after, married my girlfriend. I was 23, lucky to have a wonderful girl, a great job and future, a pretty damn good life. My wife was very attractive, not a glamour model, but she had the heads of most men turning. We had a wonderful sex life, making love 3 or 4 times a week for the first two years or so. Even as we became more comfortable with each other, we still made love at least once or twice a week. It was great.
I was 26, and my company sent me to a conference in February introducing new software coming out for our computer system. The conference was in a town in the California desert near Palm Springs, at a large resort. I decided to go early, get in some golf, take in some California desert weather (being from the midwest, I couldn't wait to enjoy warm weather in February ). I arrived on Tuesday, and immediately went to play golf at a public course near our resort. I hooked up with two other guys, Jeffrey and Dan. They were from the area, and during the round, we talked about the local "hotspots." They mentioned a place in Palm Desert, and I went there that night, and sat at the bar. I was very disappointed. I had hoped to meet some nice folks, but everybody was already attached. After about an hour, Jeffrey showed up, and we struck up a conversation.
