(There is a basis of truth in everything that happens in this story, the previous one and the one following.)
**********************
In our previous story, Becky and I had gone to a swinger's club in New Orleans. After a few shots to tequila, Becky had gone to a private room with Trevor, who has a fetish for BBW's. Trevor had the best sex of his life that evening. Becky on the other did not know it was a swinger's club until she got well into it. She did not think I knew what had happened.
On Sunday, the day after our trip to New Orleans, Becky was very nervous. I knew she was worried that I would find out about her fling with Trevor. She was feeling guilty about what she had done. My plan was to lower her inhibitions so that she would be more open minded about sex being something enjoyable and not a duty. Things were going the opposite direction. Becky was more likely now to clam up and become more inhibited than ever. I had to decide what to do next and make sure that whatever I did, it was the right thing. So, I waited a couple of days and concentrated on all the angles. On Tuesday, I decided to bring up the subject with Becky without her getting upset if I could.
We were sitting down to dinner, and I decided to go for broke. So, I said, "Christy called. She wants us to come back in two weeks for another get together. I would like to go."
Becky stiffened like I had poured ice water down her back. "I don't care to go."
"Why not? You had a great time." I questioned.
"I just don't want to go. I don't care for those people. It is too long a drive." She responded.
"I thought that you got along great with everyone. They all liked you, especially Trevor. I am pretty sure that you liked him too, a lot!" There, I had done it. I had started the ball rolling. He had to be wondering if I knew.
"What you mean by that?" She was defensive.
"Well, didn't you go up to one of those private rooms with him for nearly two hours? I have a pretty good idea what you did." I was starting to push it.
"You knew? And, you are not mad? What is going on? What did you get me into?" Now she was thinking.
"Why do you go to a swinger's club in the first place?" I had said it. Everything was out in the open now.
"You motherfucker! You set me up! You asshole! I am going to pay you back if it is the last thing I ever do!" Becky screamed as she stomped out of the room.
I thought that went rather well. After all, she didn't through anything. I knew that I needed to give her some time to think and to cool down. I thought it best to sleep in the guest room. I didn't want to wake up with her trying to suffocate me with a pillow. Or, rather, I wanted to wake up the next morning, alive.
The next morning she left for work early without saying a word to me. I knew that she would have plenty to say that night.
When I arrived from work that evening, Becky was sitting in front of the TV eating a sandwich. I could tell from the look on her face the she was not amused. I made one for myself and sat on the couch. I was going to let her start the conversation. Once she had finished eating, she turned off the TV.
"Now, why don't you just tell me what the FUCK you thought you were doing?" Becky demanded.
"Before I answer, I am going to ask you some questions. I want you to give me a truthful answer. Did you enjoy yourself? Did the people there treat you with respect and courtesy? Did you like the people you met for the most part? Do you think that they really liked you? Isn't the answer to everyone of these questions Yes?"
Becky thought a minute. I could tell she didn't want to answer. Finally, she said, "Yes. I had a good time. Everyone was nice to me. I liked them, and I guess that they liked me. But, what about Trevor? Everyone is going to think that I am a slut and maybe I am. Or, I was on Saturday night. What was in that tequila?"
I said, "First of all, I don't like that word 'slut' at least not in this case. If a man fucks a woman, he is a stud, and she is a slut. It is a double standard, and anyone who calls you that is a hypocrite, especially any man. You only did what every man in that place wanted you to do. You opened up. You threw caution to the wind and let go of the things that have been holding you back. For a few brief minutes you broke the shackles of an imposed morality that has restrained you all your life. You have been afraid you let go and enjoy yourself. Saturday night I saw you enjoy your self more than I have in years. And, what was in the tequila? Well, tequila actually, pure tequila. It only let you relax. A drunk woman does, what a sober woman thinks."
"You have made me feel like some kind of animal! I fucked a total stranger!" She screamed.
"Think about this. Animals just exist. As far as I know, they have no purpose in life, no goals, only the instinct of survival. Animals don't fuck. They don't make love. They BREED. And, they breed mostly in a certain time of the year. They have sex for the sole purpose of reproduction. It is just instinct to them.
Humans do things for pleasure. Otherwise, we just exist like the animals. Can you imagine humans stopping having sex after they have all the children that they want. We have sex for the fun of it. We have to have sex all year long. Our bodies require it. If we don't we have health problems. I have known several men who had prostrate problems due to lack of sex. Their doctors told them or rather PRESCRIBED MASTURBATION if they did not have sex. No we are not animals. We horny ass humans. We have sex for a reason. We have to!" I argued.
She didn't say a word for a long while. Then, she looked straight at me and said, "You are so full of shit your eyes stink. I am going to take a shower." And stomped out of the room. She does that when I say something that makes sense, but she doesn't want to admit it.
Well, maybe I am full of shit. To tell the truth, there is no "maybe" to it. I am full of shit and rather proud of it. But, I thought I really had a good argument. The logic makes sense, right? Animals have sex to breed. Humans, at least most humans, have sex for fun. I didn't think she would go for it, but what the hell? I gave it a shot. I left out the part where certain animals like geese and penguins mate for life. I didn't want to confuse the issue or give her any ammunition about monogamy.
I couldn't help but wonder if this whole scheme was going to blow up in my face. Well, what if it did? I wasn't having much fun before. It couldn't get any worse. I had absolutely nothing to lose as far as I was concerned.
Nearly an hour later, Becky came to the doorway to the living room. She was barefoot and wearing one of my long-sleeve white shirts. She had rolled up the sleeves and wasn't wearing anything underneath. I could smell the perfume that she never wears because I like it so much. She leaned against the doorway for awhile, just looking at me. Expensive sexy lingerie hell, she was sexy. The situation was turning me on. All she needed to do now was say something out of a Humphrey Bogart movie. Then, she made her move. "Are you going to stay up all night?" She asked seductively. I could only shake my head. "Take a shower before you come to bed." I nodded. She turned and walked to the bedroom. I took the fastest shower of my life.
Becky was waiting for me as I came out of the bathroom. I had a towel wrapped around my waist. She stopped me in my tracks. "I need to get some underwear." I said.
