It all started when she told me she had gotten a tattoo. I did not ask what it was, or where she got it, but I got the surprise of my life when she pulled down her shorts just above the top of her pubic hair and showed me the tongue she had etched on her lower stomach across her belly just above her pubic mound.
Who did that?" I asked. She told me it was Hans at the tattoo parlor on State street. "Did you undress for him to do that?" I asked.
"Of course, silly. He couldn't do it if I had clothes on," she said.
"Who are you going to show it to?" I asked.
"Only people who use their tongue on me," she said with a laugh.
"You plan on having many of those?" I asked.
"I wanted to talk to you about that," she said with a grin.
"Gary lets Carol have a little sexual freedom these days," she said. "Well, lots of freedom. She says it makes her feel alive, like more of a real woman."
Carol was a tall blond woman with a shapely figure and a history of being attracted to other women. She always wore dresses and was extremely feminine and considered beautiful by most people I knew. With long slim legs she got attention everywhere she went.
"Does she let him feel like a real man?" I said asking the obvious of my wife.
"Gary says it is not necessary," she said. "He wants her to be happy. You know, happy wife makes for a happy life," she said. "But if it is necessary for you, it would only be fair, right? You could have the same freedom."
I looked at her, imagining her sitting naked with a guy drawing a tattoo just below her belly, just inches from her exposed pussy. "So you want other guys to eat your pussy?" I asked, surprised at her straight-spoken rebellion.
"Well, when I got the tattoo, actually, I wasn't thinking of guys' tongues," she said with a sly smile.
"Wait, what?"
"I said..."
"I heard what you said. What I am confused about is what you meant," I said.
"Carol has been telling me about her bi experiences," she said, full of enthusiasm and wide-eyed honesty. "Carol says the best orgasm she ever had was at the tongue of another woman," she said. "Carol says, 'No one knows how to eat pussy like another female."
"Yes, I've heard that," I said. "So, have you and Carol..."
"Oh, no," she said emphatically, anticipating my question, "I wouldn't without talking to you. Carol says that communication is most important thing when opening up your marriage."
"Opening?" I said.
"Having extramarital sex," she said. "Carol says sex is just the two R's: Reproduction and Recreation. She says that with the proper safeguards, sex can be fun and good for everyone. You don't have to be in love to have good sex. Carol says..."
I interrupted. "Gary is okay with her having other women eat his wife's pussy?" I asked, incredulous.
"Well, it was actually his idea. Carol told him she was attracted to other women, and he said she should try some," she said. "Carol says Gary is very liberal, very freethinking and considerate. They have swapped with another couple before, and he is not jealous at all."
"So, you weren't thinking of having men eat your pussy?" I said.
"Would it make a difference?" she asked.
"Well, I guess it would," I said. "I am not sure why. I guess one is no different than the other," I said. "It would be having sex with someone other than me, wouldn't it?"
"Carol says, men have more problems with their wives fucking other guys than they do with them having sex with other women," my wife said.
"Well, I guess she's right," I said. "To be honest," I said, "it kind of turns me on to think of you eating pussy. Really does."
