He knew it was coming. He had been warned by his doctor when he was first diagnosed over 2 years ago. Impotence would be part of the disease progression. Maybe he thought it wouldn't happen to him or he was simply in denial. Either way, the time was now and he had to deal with it.
It was a slow progression. In the early stages, he couldn't maintain an erection to complete the "act". Gradually it progressed to the point that he couldn't get it up no matter what he tried. His doctors followed the normal treatment regime - pills, pumps, and injections. Occasionally something would work but it never lasted longer than a few weeks. This was it and he knew it. The only thing he'd be using his dick for was to piss.
At age 55, Tim Benson seemingly had the perfect life. A great career, a beautiful wife, a luxurious home, and a seven figure investment portfolio, but Tim Benson would gladly trade all his worldly possessions for a hard cock.
He married his wife, Gail, over ten years ago. This was his third marriage and Gail's second. They were introduced through a mutual friend and it was immediate lust and love. They married after a few months of courtship.
Gail was a model in her younger years. She is still a beautiful woman and no one would guess she had just celebrated her 42nd birthday. Her long legs and full breasts, along with her natural beauty still stop men in their tracks.
Gail is a highly sexed woman with a strong libido. Those traits, along with Gail's grace and kind demeanor, are what attracted Tim to her. Their active sex life was a demonstration of their love and commitment to their relationship.
When he was initially diagnosed, Tim told his wife that impotence could be one of the effects of the disease. Gail wasn't surprised. She noticed over the last several months that Tim's erections were not nearly as firm as they had been in the past. Gail thought it was just part of the natural aging process. Now, no matter what they tried, Tim could not get hard.
Despite Tim's impotence, they continued to attempt to have a sex life. Tim would orally or manually stimulate Gail to orgasm. Although Tim could not achieve an erection, he could still ejaculate with sufficient stimulation. Gail would suck and stroke his cock until he would come. Despite repeated assurances to the contrary, neither Tim nor Gail found this to be fulfilling.
One night after dinner Tim suddenly asked Gail, "Do you want a divorce?"
"What kind of question is that? Where did that come from? You know I love you and I don't want a divorce. Do you want a divorce?"
"No, but with my problem I'll never be a real husband and I want you to be happy. You're too young to give up intercourse," Tim replied.
Gail shot Tim an angry look and stated, "I am happy and I love you - problem or not. Lots of couples have this issue. We'll figure this out. End of this conversation."
Tim knew better than to push the issue and headed upstairs to bed. Gail stayed downstairs and thought about their conversation. Did she really want to give up sex this early in life? After all, she was still young enough to want a fulfilling sex life. The more she thought about it the more conflicted she became. Before heading upstairs Gail decided that she really loved Tim and would do anything to keep their marriage from failing.
Even though Tim went to bed early he couldn't sleep. He thought about Gail and the wonderful sex life they enjoyed during their early years of marriage. He remembered how she would slowly take his cock in her mouth, use her tongue to get him rock hard, while smiling wickedly at him. He remembered how he couldn't wait to slide his cock into her wet pussy and spurt deep inside her. She enjoyed the sex as much as he did. How could he ask her to give up sex this early in life?
He heard Gail enter the bedroom and quietly slip into their bed.
Tim sat up, turned on the light, and said, "I have a couple of ideas."
"As long as your ideas don't include divorce, then I'm all ears," Gail replied.
"Would you like to have a boyfriend?" Tim inquired.
"No, I don't want a boyfriend. I have you," Gail quipped.
"I just mean for the sex."
Gail looked puzzled and said, "A boyfriend means an emotional commitment along with the sex. You can't separate the two. So to answer your question - I don't want a boyfriend".
Tim couldn't argue with Gail's logic.
"But Honey, don't you miss having real sex? This is driving me crazy. Tell me the truth," Tim asked.
Gail took a long time in answering. She wanted her response to be truthful but understanding of Tim's feelings.
"First of all I love you more than anything. You are a wonderful husband, friend, and lover. But I do miss having intercourse. Maybe it's just a woman thing or maybe it's just me but I do miss it. And although I miss it I would never do anything to jeopardize our marriage."
"Thank you for the honest response."
"Can we go to sleep now?" Gail asked.
"Goodnight, Honey."
"Goodnight, Tim. I love you."
Tim's mind was racing making sleep impossible. She doesn't want a boyfriend yet she misses a hard cock. Tim had another idea. He had always fantasized about seeing his wife having sex with another man but he never had the courage to talk to his wife about it. He was worried his wife would think he was a pervert. Now, just maybe, he could satisfy his wife's sexual longings while realizing his fantasy.
"Honey, are you still awake? I have another idea."
"What now?" Gail asked.
"Would you consider bringing another man into our bed?"
"Like who?" Gail quizzed
"I don't know. No emotional attachments. Just sex."
"I'm not sure how that would work."
"I'll work out the details but will you consider it?"
"I'll think about it. Now can we get some sleep?" Gail responded.
"Great. We can talk about it in the morning. Goodnight."
Gail couldn't sleep thinking about her husband's proposal. Why would he want another man in our martial bed? Was he bi-sexual? Did he want to be with a man too? How would this work? The questions kept coming but there were no answers. Gail couldn't wait to hear her husband's ideas. She finally fell asleep but had a restless night.
The following morning Gail went downstairs, made her way to the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee. Tim had his laptop open and was oblivious to Gail's entry.
"Good morning. What are you doing?" Gail asked.
"Not much. Just looking at some web sites," Tim replied without looking away from the computer screen.
"Must be interesting."
After a few minutes Tim looked up and said, "Have you given any thought to what we discussed last night?"
"Yes, I have. I'm open to discussing it further but I'm not committing to anything."
"Great. Here's what I've come up with so far. I've been looking at some swinger websites. They include single men that specialize in working with couples. They come in all shapes, sizes and ages. What do you think?" Tim asked.
"I don't know. There would have to be some rules. I just don't want to fuck anyone just because he has a hard dick. What about STD's? I don't want to catch something," Gail replied.
