"I like them," my wife said as Liz and John left our table to the dance, "don't you?" I looked toward the couple we had just met that night and nodded. "John invited us to a party this weekend," she added.
"Want to go?" I asked. She nodded and glanced towards our new friends on the dance floor, moving slow and close. "You know they're swingers, don't you?"
"No they're not," she said with an unbelieving frown, refusing to believe two people she liked so much could do such a thing, then she looked at me and back to them. "Really? How do you know?"
"John told me. Said he'd really like to show you the finer things in life. Said you are one hot lady, and he likes you a lot. Didn't he say anything when you were dancing about he and Liz being swingers?"
Sitting at the table with me, she stared at them as they danced, then turned back to me and shook her head. "Well, he did say they were a 'very open' couple, then he winked. You mean he meant they--"
"Fuck other people? Yes," I replied.
She put her hand over her mouth, laughing at her innocence, at her own unworldliness. "I told him we'd love to come to their party," she said through her fingers, her face turning a deep shade of pink.
"You mean, now you don't?" I asked. She shrugged. "Don't you find John attractive?"
"Of course," she said, "very. But we couldn't-- I mean, I couldn't--" She paused for pregnant minute, watching them on the dance floor, turning her head back and forth slowly. "But they look so much in love," she said.
"Just because they fuck other people doesn't mean they aren't in love," I said. "He told me one of the most erotic things in the world is to be able to watch your wife getting fucked by someone she enjoys." She looked at me like he was crazy. "He says it's a true measure of unconditional love. They also invited us to go with them during the day Saturday to the dunes in their 4X4. Said they have a spot they go to that is well hidden and is a nudist beach."
"This Saturday?" she asked, interest showing through her embarrassed grin. "You wouldn't mind other men seeing me nude?"
"Nope," I replied quickly. "I don't see it any different than having other men ogling you when you are looking really hot in your sexiest outfit, or your bikini. They'd ogle you nude, most likely, and it wouldn't be any worse than having them ogle you in a sexy dress. They probably would be wanting to fuck you no matter what you were or were not wearing, but then you never know," I said with a grin. "I could put up with having men look at you nude, and even think I could watch another man make love to you, if what John says is true. Especially, if that's what you wanted and were comfortable doing and were enjoying it. John asked me if I could, and I said I thought so."
"I am not sure I could handle you fucking another woman," Claire said. "In fact, I'm sure I couldn't." She gave me that it-is-what-it-is look, shrugged, as if to apologize for being unfair, then grinned.
"That's up to you," I said sincerely. "Just tell them that. I don't think they will be offended, but if you find you want to have sex with John, then do it, with my blessing. Let's go with them on Saturday, then if you're comfortable with what develops, with being at a nude beach, dressed or undressed, or if you decide you want to fuck other guys, then we can accept or reject the invitation to their party at that time. Believe me, you are free to do as you want."
"You could handle me having sex with John?" she asked, incredulous that I could.
"If Liz can, I can," I said. "I think sex is not the only test of love and commitment."
Saturday morning we met John and Liz at their house, then climbed into their huge 4X4 super cab truck hooked up to a flat-bed trailer that carried a six wheeled off-road buggy. When we got to the dunes, I helped John unload the dune buggy and unhooked the trailer. "You ride with Liz in the buggy," he suggested, "and Claire can ride with me in the truck, if you don't mind."
Claire looked at me and shrugged, then I nodded and climbed in the buggy. She got into the truck with John and sat next to the door on the passenger side, far away from Liz's husband. Liz looked at me and said that wouldn't last, then pulled out and drove down the ramp onto the beach. We had gone only about a mile when I said, "Claire is a little nervous about the party," I said.
"The swinging party? Doesn't she like my husband?" she asked with a laugh, her voice loud to be heard over the roar of the engine.
"Oh yeah she does," I said. "A lot. She's just not sure about the sex part. I think she wants to, but it's such a new idea for her."
"Does she like sex?" I said she did. "Then I'll talk to her," she said over the engine noise. "At first I was a little nervous myself. Now I wouldn't live any other way. I know he loves me and I have watched him fuck other women, many times. I love to talk about it with him later, hear which ones did what, you know, what he liked, who did him really well." She smiled. "How are you with having your wife fucking other men?"
"I'm fine with it," I said, "but she doesn't think she could handle me fucking other women."
"How are you with that?" she asked. "Any resentment?" I told her I could handle it, especially if it made her uncomfortable. "I know it's unfair, but I really do want her to have a good time, even if the good time is while fucking other people."
"You're a rare fellow," Liz said. "Most guys want to fuck other women and having their wife screw other guys is just the way for that to happen. If you could forgo having sex at a swinging party so your wife could feel comfortable, well, that's pretty commendable, dangerous but commendable."
"Dangerous?"
"A lot of people would resent the spouse who wants freedom to fuck others but can't grant it to their partner," she said. "Of course it's not fair, but if you can handle it, then it can work."
"How were you the first time John had sex with someone else?" I asked, grabbing the oh-shit handle as we flew over the top of a dune.
"I screwed someone else before John did. The first time he was with someone else, it bothered me at first," she said as she brought the buggy to a stop, "but when I was having a good time myself I forgot all about being jealous. After a few hours with John this morning, Claire will be ready to fuck my husband or these dunes aren't made of sand. If John doesn't screw your wife before we meet them at the beach, then she's not ready for our party Sunday." She put her hand over mine, then started the buggy and roared off down the face of an incredibly steep dune.
After about an hour in the dunes, we saw their truck parked on the top of a far dune. She pulled the buggy to a stop and handed me a pair of binoculars. "Care to check them out?" I hesitated, as if I didn't want to spy on my wife and her husband, but she said not to worry. "John wouldn't mind at all."
I focussed the binoculars on the truck and sure enough the couple in the cab, my wife and Liz's husband, were making out like kids. The woman was facing the guy, sitting over his lap, and her head moved up and down as she most likely took his erection into her on each downward plunge. "Your wife seems to like my husband," Liz said with a grin as I handed her back the binoculars.
Claire and John finally got to their secret beach an hour or so later than Liz and I did. Fifty or so other naked people knew about the spot and walked the shore or stretched out in the sun. Claire and John got out of his truck and they both were nude. I was surprised they had ridden around nude in the dunes, but not as surprised as I had been that my wife had fucked John in the cab of his truck. He had parked down the beach and they walked towards where Liz and I were stretched out on a blanket. By that time Liz and I were also nude. I felt quite comfortable without a suit, but I wasn't sure about Claire, although she seemed to have no problem with it as she strolled along with John. My wife looked fantastic walking naked towards us holding hands with another woman's husband. "Did you lose your way?" Liz asked.
"We stopped for a break," John said, grinning like a school boy.
Claire came over and sat down next to me. "Can we go to the party?" she asked with an obvious change of heart.
"Do you think you'd feel comfortable enough to enjoy yourself?" I asked.
