Chapter 30 - "The Towel Waver"
October 2014
Here's an old Jewish Joke:
Sam and Sarah, married 20 years, are having trouble in bed. Sarah seems unhappy and keeps wondering if there isn't something she's missing when it comes to sex. Finally they go to the rabbi for advice.
After hearing from both of them, he agrees that something has to change. He tells them the following.
"Go out and find a good-looking, well-built young man. Tell him you need his help, and invite him to your home. When you get ready for bed, hand him a large towel and ask him to wave it over you while you have sex. See if that fixes the problem."
It's an unusual request, but the rabbi is never wrong, so out they go. They find a perfect specimen at the gym – 22 years old, handsome and quite the hardbody. They explain what they need, and he agrees to help them out.
The next day they go back to the rabbi. "Nothing changed," Sarah complains. The young man stood there and waved the towel the entire time we had sex, but... nothing. I am SO disappointed!"
"Hmmm," says the rabbi, "that's very surprising. It almost always works." He thinks for a minute then says, "Let's try just one more thing. This time, Sam, YOU wave the towel while your wife has sex with the young man." Desperate to find a solution, they agree.
That night, the guest get in bed with Sarah, and Sam takes his place by the bed. He starts waving the towel and the young man takes Sarah passionately, intensely and repeatedly. Sarah is over the moon with pleasure, crying out as she cums again and again. Finally they finish and collapse in a pool of sweat, pussy juice and cum.
With a look of absolute triumph Sam says, "You see, shmuck? THAT'S how you wave a towel!"
*************
I'm Paul. My wife is Sally. I wave the towel.
It's been a long time since I wrote the previous chapter in my Diary. Not that things haven't been wonderful for us, but because they have been pretty much the same. Sally gets together with her long-time lover, Ted, about once a month, and they spend 3-4 hours having a date. Their dates include sex, talking, sex, lunch, sex... you get the idea.
A while back, Ted asked me what the most exciting thing was for me on their most recent date. I said it was knowing how excited Sally was about spreading her legs for him – about fucking him. "But there's nothing new about that," he said. I told him it didn't have to be new: I was a cuckold, and he had just fucked my wife. More important, my wife WANTED HIM to fuck her. "It never gets old," I said, and he had to agree that fucking Sally didn't get old, either. So there hasn't been much to tell, since "He fucked my wife again" is exciting as hell to experience, but doesn't translate into a very captivating story!
But recent events are, indeed, new developments. For those who are not cuckolds or cuckoldresses, I doubt you will enjoy what I'm going to write, or even see the excitement in it; that's all right, since I'm basically writing it for myself. For those who "get it" – enjoy!
Two dates are worth relating. This chapter is about the first of them.
A brief recap: After 15 years of my asking/begging/pleading with Sally to try cuckolding, she finally did in April, 1998. She met Ted, and they hit it off. They were "an item" for about four years, then stopped seeing each other for a variety of reasons. Then in 2005 they got back together again, but with one difference: when Sally thought about restarting their relationship, she asked me if it would be possible for them to have sex together, without me in the room. I said I thought I could handle it if they were willing to throw me some crumbs from time to time, and that's the way their affair began again. I would reserve a hotel suite for their dates; this allowed me to sit outside their bedroom door and masturbate while they had the privacy of the bedroom for sex.
Their "reunion" went very well, and subsequent reunions went even better. There were ups and downs for me as we tried to find a balance that worked for everyone: them showing me enough that I could get off on what was happening, and me backing off enough to let them have their time – and their sex – alone together.
By the fall of 2006 I saw that Sally was truly enjoying her dates with Ted. Far more than she ever enjoyed sex with me, by her own account and by my observation. In November of that year I said that if she wanted to stop having sex with me, saving herself for her dates with Ted, I thought we could make it work. After spending time thinking about it she said no, she didn't want to stop having sex with me... she still wanted to do it once a year, on our anniversary! She was so earnest in her "demand" that we still fuck once a year that she took my breath away, since it was clear she was equally earnest in her desire not to do it with me more than once a year.
That conversation took place on November 20, 2006, and we kept to our new arrangement through the summer of 2007. Between dates I would hold her in our bed while she used her vibrator to get off, then I would go downstairs to my home office and masturbate. She especially liked it when I helped her think about fucking Ted while she got off; in fact, it seemed like the best thing I could do to help her get excited. So in the summer of 2007, when she asked me if I would be willing to sit on the floor by the bed where she couldn't see me while I helped her get off by talking to her about Ted, I was hurt but not surprised. I asked her why she wanted that, and she said that, honestly, my presence in bed got in the way when she was trying to get off; my best efforts to turn her on just weren't that good, and what I did best was talking to her about her dates with her lover. Recognizing the truth of what she said, and excited that SHE was comfortable enough to hurt me like that, I asked if I could play with myself while I did as she asked. She LOVED the idea.
So, my wife has had a relationship with Ted for over half our marriage. I have made the arrangements for their dates and then sat outside their bedroom door for the past nine years. For eight years – one-quarter of our marriage – she has fucked only him, other than my once-a-year mercy fuck on our anniversary. And for nearly that long I have had NO sexual contact with her, or with anyone, except for one time a year on our anniversary. She tells me that the two things I do that make her feel best sexually are taking her to Ted and agreeing never to ask her for sex.
I know this sounds harsh, but in fact it feels right – right for both of us, or rather, for all three of us. Just about the only thing Sally and I fought about over the years of our marriage was sex: I thought she was repressed and frigid, and my invitations to sex were often postponed, ignored or rejected outright. Even when we had sex she was never wet for me and couldn't wait for it to be over. Coming as she did from a truly sexually-repressed mother, I blamed both of them for our less-than-adequate sex life.
Imagine our mutual surprise when she first went to bed with Ted, and didn't need any artificial lubrication! What's more, after the first time she was actually excited about going to bed with him – to the point where SHE became the aggressor. It took her a while to acknowledge it, since she really does love me and didn't want to hurt me, but she LOVED sex with him.
And, she realized, she hated sex with me.
In other words, SHE wasn't the problem in our sex life. I was. She realized it, I realized it, and Ted realized it, too. I was the problem. I was always the problem.
Fortunately, I'm a cuckold. Or maybe it's more than a happy coincidence. Maybe I was always the problem because, deep down, I knew that my place is outside the bedroom door. Whatever the genesis of our relationship, this is how we got to where we are today: a wonderful, loving, cuckold relationship in which all three of us get what we need and what we want. Mick Jagger, you were wrong – sometimes you can get both.
Which brings us to their two most recent dates, and why I'm writing again. This chapter will explore the first of those dates, and the next chapter will finish the story.
In September our schedules presented an interesting challenge: the only time we could get together with Ted was in the afternoon, rather than our (their) usual morning dates. It took a little negotiation with the hotel since renting a room from noon to 6pm is generally frowned upon in hotels that don't charge by the hour. Fortunately we are good customers – we only go there for Sally and Ted to fuck, but that's been over 70 times in the past eight years – so they understood when I said we had a meeting in the area in the morning and a party to go to at night, so could we get the room for the afternoon? "Of course, Mr. Pines. We're happy to have you here any time," was the reply. Hampton Inn, you rock!
On the appointed day we checked in, Sally fixed her makeup and we waited for Ted to arrive. He texted me and said he wanted to pick us up and go to lunch before sex, but when I read that to Sally she was NOT happy. She debated about how much she wanted to reveal, but finally agreed that I could send this text:
>Your call, but she'd rather fuck you the minute you get here. Why don't you call her and talk?
He responded,
>Well all righty, then. It's fucking before food. I'm not complaining.
