The Death of Tammy Janeway, Pt 5
That's how my marriage got started--Coitus interruptus and a lecture about my "sexual degeneracy".
To say I was astounded would have been a massive understatement.
The next morning Brother Samuelson rolled over on top of me and consummated our marriage. It took him all of ten seconds. Afterward, he popped up, refreshed, and called downstairs for room service.
"How do you like your eggs, Tams?"
I wanted to pee on him. He hadn't even bothered to brush his teeth.
"Soft scrambled, hun." I replied, in my best "healthful pattern of words" voice.
I dragged out of bed up to wash up. By the time I got out of the shower our food had arrived. Before I could sit down and eat, Brother Samuelson mounted me again, without having brushed his teeth, and fucked me wildly for yet another ten seconds. He came before he got his cock all the way in. I'd just washed. He had yet to wash. I don't think he felt comfortable getting into the shower with me, thinking it to be "degeneracy".
Was our food cold by the time we got finished fucking? No. It was not.
I smiled at my husband tenderly, hoping that he was hiding a hajib somewhere and would spring it on me at the conclusion of this nightmare honeymoon.
I loved Donnie. I did. But we were already teetering at the precipice of a cliff, and not just because my husband didn't know how to fuck, but also because he thought he knew what he was doing and he didn't. We hadn't even gotten to the "me on top" part yet. I wasn't sure we would get there.
Maybe we could talk it out. We had a five-hour drive ahead of us. I hit him with the threat.
"Donnie, we gotta talk."
By the time we got to Niagara Falls, I was relatively sure that our marriage was in trouble. Donnie was fixated on the "headship" issue. Our sex life would not suffer any devolutions from the "healthful pattern of sexual relations" acceptable to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. When I asked Donnie to show me where this "healthful pattern" was written in doctrinal stone he demurred. It was not written anywhere. Rather, like many Jehovah's Witness rules, it was unspoken. You just had to KNOW.
I asked my husband how he knew what was going on in other people's bedrooms. He told me that he'd sat in on any number of elder's counseling sessions with couples regarding their sex lives. He assured me that doing things my way would lead to such a counseling session with the elders, but that wasn't going to happen because he wasn't going to do things my way. There would be no oral sex, no mutual masturbation, no titty sucking, no titty fucking, no tongue kissing, no reverse cowgirl, nothing that these nasty worldly people do; just straight sex the way God intended, with him on top most of the time. That's the best way, he said. That's the Christian way. And since he was the head of our household that was how we were going to do it. Period. End of story.
He had put his foot down. Jasmine warned me he would. Donnie was on the elder track. He didn't need to be sitting in any elder's counseling sessions as the person in need of counsel or prayer.
Knowing my role, I shut my mouth. That's when I started fantasizing about a big white guy in a hajib whose penis left me burnt and charred below.
You know, if you've ever been in love with someone, truly in love, you never fall out of love with that person. There's always a spot in your heart for him/her. No matter how many infidelities and fist fights and domestic violence arrests and STDs came after falling in love, when you sit down and recall the times of your loves, your heart will still swell. If none of the aforementioned relationship killers ever happened, your heart will swell even more.
None of those relationship killers ever happened with Chad and me. I broke up with him out of concern for him, not because I didn't still love him.
Given the set of circumstances surrounding my first day of marriage (and the day before), Chad rose up in my mind as my savior from a lifetime of "him on top, me on top".
I'd been warned about these doldrums. The reality was something else. In the span of a thirty-six hour marriage, I'd had twenty seconds of sex. I'm not exaggerating. A newlywed couple on a five-hour drive might be expected to stop along the way to suck or fuck. Mr. and Mrs. Samuelson spent the entire five hours arguing about whether the Scriptures sanctioned such behavior. When Mr. and Mrs. Samuelson finally arrived at their hotel in Niagara Falls, Mr. Samuelson claimed fatigue from the trip. He said he needed a nap. Mrs. Samuelson had yet to luxuriate under the pleasure of a single orgasm at the tip of Mr. Samuelson's dick. Mrs. Samuelson sneaked into the bathroom to masturbate while Mr. Samuelson slept, assisted visually by the remembrance of her bachelorette party. When Mr. Samuelson awakened, he tacked another fifteen seconds of sex onto Mrs. Samuelson's store of marital due. Then the new couple went out sightseeing.
Mrs. Samuelson was developing a negative opinion of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's unspoken rules about marital sex.
OMG! Chad Finneran!!
My old boyfriend was now a bachelorette party dancer. Two nights ago he'd consummated a relationship from almost ten years back. He'd really fucked the living shit out of me. He'd cum all over my face.
By way of contrast, my husband had fucked me three times since we'd been married. Each time he'd ejaculated before his cock was all the way in.
If you're a woman, which of these two scenarios are you masturbating over? I had that open spot in my heart and all.
The thing with being in love is this: you close your heart to one person and open your heart to another. The closed room is always there. You just have to re-open that door. Sometimes there's so much shitty baggage that you can't re-open the door. That doesn't mean the door isn't there.
Donnie's door to my heart was still wide open. I loved him. But his door was accumulating baggage. It's not because he was shitty in bed. I'd expected that much. Sheesh!! He'd never had any pussy!! You can't hold that against a man.
Donnie's baggage was that he didn't seem willing to explore. He didn't want to learn. He had a viewpoint that worked for him but left me bereft. He was using his "headship" as an excuse to leave me wanting. I still wanted my marriage to work. Maybe he was right. Maybe my devotion to my sexual needs kept me from experiencing the true joy of Christianity. Maybe, if I accepted the "him on top, me on top" version of Christianity, my strident sexual longing would wane.
I took a deep breath and tried to see things his way.
It took a couple of weeks but Chad finally called. I'd been dreading this moment.
OK, I'm lying. I was praying he would call. But when he did, I had to pretend that I'd been dreading his call. I'm a woman. Whaddaya want from me?
I charged him up for attending my wedding unexpectedly. I told him how he'd endangered my position with my husband and my religion. He told me that when he found that I was getting married, he agreed to perform at my wedding for free. (This made me feel warm.) I reminded him that we still hadn't had real sex since he hadn't cum inside me. He said he intended to rectify that situation. (This made me feel warmer.) I told him that I was married now and that wasn't going to happen. (I was hoping I was lying about that.) He said "OK!!"
What prospective adulterer gives up that easily? I was disappointed.
I went back to my husband that night and encouraged him to fuck me blind. We'd been married a couple of weeks now. It was Monday. He reminded me that he had to prepare for the Service Meeting on the morrow, but he agreed to service me, if I insisted. He mounted me and churned for about a minute before gracing my pussy with his milk. Then he got up, washed up and spent a couple hours preparing for the Service meeting. By the time he got into bed I was asleep. Every orgasm I'd had for the duration of our marriage so far had come by way of my own hands.
I was still struggling. I'd thought that getting married meant a license to have sex day and night. It would cool my rampant sex drive. That's not what was happening. Getting married now meant I had to deal with someone else's dominance of my sex life.
I'd moved from my cushy suburban townhome to Donnie's inner city hovel. It was in a bad neighborhood. Donnie was a shoe salesman!! I had a nice job. We could afford to live in a better neighborhood. But Brother Samuelson insisted that we live according his income, not mine. He hinted that maybe I should leave my job and join the full time ministry and thus grease his path to an eldership. His hints became ever more apparent. Something in the back of my mind kept screaming "NO FUCKING WAY!!!"
OK, let's take stock. I wasn't getting fucked properly. I lived in the 'hood. My husband's hints that I leave my well-paying job would soon become an edict. Donnie's baggage was piling up.
One day I sat down with my worldly friend Felicia over coffee.
"Felicia, how did you bring together the guys who danced at my bachelorette party?" I opened.
"Why? You feelin' one of them? That big white boy, maybe? Seemed to me like you knew him from somewhere," she replied.
"I did know him. He was my high school boyfriend."
