Chapter 1
My wife (Cathy) and I had been married for just over ten years. Two, usually lovely, kids who were at school. My career was going well and for the first time in years my wife had a little time to herself as she looked to find a new job. Her best friend (Jackie) was just going through a difficult break up that Cathy was trying to help her through. One day quite out of the blue Cathy said
"You have always said that you have never had any interest in other men. Is that completely true?"
I confirmed that boring as it might be, it was completely true. Cathy had always admitted that at her all girls' school she had experienced and enjoyed a small number of sexual experiments and experiences. She had also said that as an adult she had no interest or maybe never found any woman attractive.
I knew I needed to ask what made her bring this up. She said that Jackie seemed very mixed up but was considering looking for a female to have sex with. Jackie didn't consider herself to suddenly to be gay but was curious enough to consider it. Given she was unattached this seemed a good time. Cathy said this in such a way that it seemed to leave something hanging. I looked at her in such a way as to encourage her to finish her thought process. She hesitated before saying.
"What would you think if I said that I was interested too?"
"Interested in looking for a female to have sex with or interested in having sex with Jackie?"
Again an awkward pause before very quietly she just said "Jackie". I was aware she was watching very carefully to see my reaction. My surprise was not at her answer of Jackie but of the fact that she was considering any woman sexually. If you believe what you read it seems that nearly all men want to see their partner have sex with another woman. I can honestly say that if I had ever thought about it, it was a thought that never got taken anywhere.
"It is like a bolt out of the blue. I suppose it would depend a lot on how you saw it. I cannot stop you having sex with Jackie, or anyone else for that matter, but I would want to understand it in the context of our marriage. Have you been thinking about Jackie, or any other woman, for long?"
"No, only the few days since she mentioned it. I have to confess, well tell you something though."
Again the hesitation and I was a little bit concerned about what she would next say.
"Yesterday when I said goodbye to her she kissed me. We always kiss goodbye but this was not a peck on the cheek it was a full on sensual kiss."
"What did you make of it?"
"It was very sexy. I have to confess that I kissed her back, I am so sorry."
I did laugh but added.
"If that is all you have to confess to then chill out. Do tell me that is all you need to confess to."
"Oh thanks it has been eating me all day. And I can promise you that is all there is to confess to as far as what happened. I am a little disturbed as since she first mentioned it I cannot get it out of my thoughts. The idea frightens me but also it ... it has excited me. The kiss has only made things worse."
It had only been a few nights earlier that we had enjoyed the best sex we had had in years. Cathy had been like a woman possessed.
"Did Jackie raise the subject the first time last Friday?"
"Eh yes I think it was, why?"
"What do you remember about the sex we had last Friday night, young lady?"
"Oh shit yes it was amazing wasn't it? Do you think that what Jackie said affected me that night? I can't believe I didn't link the two things. Should I apologize to you or something?"
Now I really laughed and Cathy soon relaxed enough to join in. We cuddled and she relaxed further before saying
"I could apologize by taking you to bed if you think that is appropriate. The discussion has left me feeling more randy than I can remember for years but I would understand if me getting excited in this way is not good for you."
"Right now seeing you clearly highly aroused is just wonderful. I would rather not analyze why you are excited but just enjoy it. What do you say?"
