Katie and I had been married for 12 years. I still loved my wife as much as the day I'd proposed, but lately we'd been having some serious problems, so much so that I had become concerned that things may not work out. She's a fantastic woman, much better than I deserve but our sex life had become a major problem.
When we met, we were both 17 years old. We had dated others, but never had progressed beyond kissing. When we met, we took things very slowly. She was very nervous about sex, and even though I was horny as hell, I was crazy about her and didn't want to jeopardize anything, so I was contented myself with masturbation. Over the first four years of our relationship we never went any further than me fondling and sucking her breasts and her pleasuring me with a hand-job. She wouldn't even let me in her pants. When I proposed to her on Valentine's Day of our 21st year, we celebrated by her giving me a blowjob and letting me finger her pussy. Let me tell you, I couldn't believe how amazing it felt getting a blowjob! Katie seemed to enjoy me playing with her as well. She had her beliefs though, and I wouldn't get to touch that pussy of hers again, until our honeymoon. Even though I was disappointed, I respected her morals and rationalized that I had waited four years already, so what's one more?
On our honeymoon I was in heaven when I finally got to make love to her. She was still extremely nervous about sex and even though she had stopped saying no, I could tell that she wasn't really into it. Well over the past 12 years, things haven't changed all that much. The majority of the time, it is me that initiates sex. Each year on my birthday, one of her gifts is a blowjob, and we generally have sex about once a week. Most times our sex consists of me playing with her tits and pussy for a few minutes, then climbing on top of her and having sex in the missionary position. Over the years I have voiced my displeasure with our sex life, but nothing ever changed.
I had come to the belief that she just wasn't a sexual person. Maybe she just wasn't into sex in general and didn't share the libido that I possessed. I held this belief for years, until one day about a month ago. I had finished a load of laundry and was putting away the clothes. I went to put a sweatshirt of Katie's into the bottom drawer of her dresser and made a shocking discovery. There was a vibrator staring me in the face. I picked it up and took a whiff of it, finding the familiar scent of my wife's pussy. I put it back into the drawer, unsure of how to handle it. I found it exciting thinking of Katie using it, but I was also confused. She'd never been a very sexual person, and seemed disinterested most of the time, so why would she have a vibrator. As I processed the information, I began feeling hurt and insulted. Was she not happy with me? Did I not please her? As it turned out, I wouldn't have to wait long for an answer. I closed the drawer and picked up the hamper to finish putting the things away. I looked up and saw Katie standing there.
"Oh hey, I didn't realize you were there." I said, startled. "I was just putting away the laundry."
"I noticed," Katie replied, "I also noticed that you found something in my drawer."
"You're right, I did." I responded. "What's up with that? How long have you had it? Use it often?"
"To be honest Brett, I've had it for a couple of years." Katie answered. "Obviously I always hide it well since you've never seen it before, but today my sister stopped by unannounced while I was using it, and I just threw it in the drawer in a hurry. What are the odds you'd go in there, I figured."
Now I was starting to get upset and answered her in a condescending tone, "Well what the fuck do you need it for? You have sex with me, but you will with that?"
"You know, this is exactly why I've hid it from you!" She answered angrily. "I knew you'd get all pissed off about it. I didn't want to hurt your feelings...it's just that sometimes I need a little help getting off."
"What's that supposed to mean, I don't please you?" I questioned her.
"Well, what do you think?" She yelled. "You play with my boobs for two minutes, then my pussy for two more, and then you stick it in me and blow your load in another two minutes. When's the last time you remember me orgasming? Can you even remember a time? I can count the times you've gotten me off on one hand!"
I couldn't believe how pissed she was making me. "Maybe if you showed a little interest once in a while, I'd be a little more attentive." I answered. "I'm in a rush to come because I'm afraid you'll change your mind before I do."
The argument went on for about an hour. We hardly ever fight and this one was probably the biggest we'd ever had. It had always been me that had voiced my frustration in the past, but now I learned that she too was frustrated. We both agreed that we would try to do our best to make things better. For the next few weeks, things were better. We were having sex more frequently and I was doing my best to please Katie. Gradually though, we started returning to our old ways. Sex became less and less frequent, and I was now more aware of the fact that she was just running through the motions. It was a bitter pill to swallow that I wasn't pleasing my wife. I had done my best, but apparently that wasn't good enough.
Eventually, I decided it was time to address our situation once again. "Katie, I think we need to have a serious talk." I told her.
All she could answer was, "I think you're right." She was blunt, but I could tell she was concerned about what I had to say.
"I have a lot to say, so please just let me get it out, okay? I asked her.
"Fine, go ahead, I won't interrupt" she responded.
"Katie babe, I feel that we have a serious problem on our hands." I started. "Neither of us is happy with our sex lives. Many times now, we have tried to fix it, but it hasn't worked."
Katie nodded her agreement.
"I don't know how to say this." I stammered.
"It's okay, go ahead, say your piece, there's nothing to be afraid of." She consoled me.
"I think one of our biggest problems is that neither of us has any experience with sex other than with each other." I continued. "You are the first and only girl I've ever made love to. Maybe the reason I can't please you is that I don't know how. And apparently the reason we don't have sex more is because I can't please you. What I'm trying to say is, I think maybe I should have sex with someone else."
Believe it or not when I was preparing what to say, I honestly thought it was a reasonable solution. Even as I was saying it, it seemed logical. It wasn't until I finished the statement and saw the reaction on Katie's face that I realized just how ridiculous an idea it really was..
"Are you fucking stupid?" My wife yelled. "You want me to let you fuck someone else? You think that is a solution?"
I knew now that I was in deep shit! She stormed out of the room and we hardly spoke for a week. Eventually she finally started talking to me, and things gradually got back to normal, except that is in the bedroom. For the next month we didn't make love once!
Finally, Katie addressed the situation. "Brett, I've been thinking about what you said about sleeping with someone else." She told me. "I've decided that I think it's a good idea, but I want to make one more suggestion."
"What's that?" I asked, trying to conceal my excitement about the fact that my wife had just told me I was allowed to sleep with another woman!
