When I look back at the anthology of my relationship with my wife Lexi, there has been a metamorphosis of sorts. I think every couple in love starts with the same exclusively monogamous, 'till death do you part' scenario. I remember I used to get fits of jealousy if a guy even checked Lexi out. If she flirted, I would go ballistic. How times have changed, as we are now invested in an open life style. I know this is not for everyone, and at times wonder if I would choose this if I could do it all over again. For us, it broke all the moral and social barriers we believed in. This is an account of how it all started with us.
We were married ten years ago, and for the most part, we were a normal couple making our way through life a day at a time. When we first met, our life was crazy and exciting, and we thought it always would be, but we got stuck in the rut of daily living. I think for most people, there is a certain amount of security in developing a routine in your life. Unfortunately for us, that boring list of chores also included our sex life. Love making had lost its spontaneity, and became a scheduled event, kind of like doing the laundry.
This certainly didn't come about because my wife let herself go, or is undesirable. Far from it. Lexi is a stunning woman by any standard. She has all the right curves in all the right places, and turns heads wherever she goes. There's a lot more to her than a hot bod and pretty face. She is also smart, articulate and formidable as a business woman.
However, like a lot of couples, our lack of creativity and over-familiarity with each other led to reduced passion. Don't get me wrong, always tried to be attentive and she's always has been a wonderful lover. I think it's that 'been there, done that' syndrome that led us into a ho-hum sexual life. Ultimately, this fueled our desire for variety and change. I believe many people become boring by choice, but it can be overcome, if you're willing to push the parameters a bit. In our case, more than a bit.
We are both professionals that have to meet the public daily, so our appearance is important. Part of our plan is to maintain a healthy life-style of diet and fitness, so we usually meet at the gym four days a week. I normally do heavy lifting, while Lexi does cardio.
I remember back to about a year and a half ago; I was watching Lexi work out at our local gym. It was fascinating how she captivated the attention of almost all the men within view. Not knowing she was my wife, a guy using the squat machine next to me, randomly pointed out how hot she was. Initially, that kind of made me feel proud, but it also prompted me to take a long look at her.
She truly is a beauty. That skintight outfit showed off her fit figure, displaying her large, pert breasts, firm, round butt, and strong, shapely legs. As she pumped hard on the stair-climber, the fabric became wet, and clung to her like a second skin. Her prominent nipples poked out the thin fabric of her top noticeably. As I watched, she flirted with the guy next to her. He was so enamored with her, he seemed oblivious to all else. Instead of being jealous, I found it a turn on, and I think that was the first time I ever considered her being with another man.
This became a fantasy that started that day with a casual passing glance, and rooted itself in my brain, like a seed that continued to grow. I began to cultivate this vision of her with different men a bit at a time. It was actually becoming more of a full-blown obsession than just a passing fancy. However, I did manage to keep it to myself for the time being.
After some time, I started reading forum testimonials of guys that shared their wives, and I discovered that I was not the only one with this predisposition. Many men fantasized about sharing their wives. Looking back, I'm not sure if this predilection was naturally found within me, or if I had cultivated it into a full-blown obsession. I did manage to keep it from Lexi, not letting it interfere with our relationship.
One night, we were cuddling in bed talking. Lexi was telling me about this guy named Henry, a new employee hired at her firm. She went on to say how all the girls were enamored with him. She described him as a really hot commodity, confident and sexy. It was then I asked, "Do you find him a hot commodity too?"
"Hmmm," she thought. "Sure, I suppose so. Why?" she replied, wiggling her butt against me.
"Could you see yourself with him?" My erection grew with just asking the question.
"Of course not! I'm a married woman!" She stated abruptly.
"I know you're the hottest woman in that whole firm. Are you telling me he hasn't flirted, or hit on you?" I asked, pushing my hardness between her cheeks.
"Of course he has, but he knows I'm married. Why would you even ask?"
"Are you aware of how men lust after you?"
"I suppose, but I don't pay much attention to it. What is it you are saying?"
"Well... have you ever thought what it would be like to be with another guy?"
"Never! I love you, and am faithful to you alone."
"I know that. I know you're faithful, but that did not answer my question. Do you ever fantasize about being with other men?"
"Is that what you want? For me to be with another man, so you can be with another woman?"
"Hell no! I don't desire another woman other than you. I was just thinking about you with other men - a passing fantasy."
"What? Are you crazy? How could you imagine me with another man?"
"I dunno. It has been crossing my mind lately. I know you've only been with a couple men in your life, but doesn't it ever cross your mind how it would be like to fuck another man?"
"I can't believe you just said that! I'm your wife. Why would you even think such a thing?"
"Forget it. It was just a passing thought. Sorry I brought it up."

About two weeks later, we were out to dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, when Lexi said, "I have something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"I was working in the file room today, and Henry asked me to have dinner or lunch with him."
"Who's Henry?" I asked, taking her hands in mine.
"You remember. The new guy at work. I told you about him."
"Oh yeah, I remember - the hot guy that was causing wet panties at your firm. Is that why you've been dressing a bit more provocatively for work lately?"
"Well... Maybe. I didn't know you noticed," she grinned.
"Kinda hard to miss, when you go from high collars to cleavage. So... Do you want to go out with him?"
"I would never do that to you! I just told you he asked."
"Technically, you wouldn't be doing it to me. You'd be doing it to him." I chuckled.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"I am saying it is your choice. Do whatever you desire. I'm okay with it," I said, taking her hand and looking into her eyes, so she'd know I was serious.
"Including... you know what?"
"Especially you know what." I squeezed her hand.
"This is crazy. I think your actually serious." She look puzzled and pulled her hand away.
"I am serious, but I'm just saying it is your choice. I'm not pushing."
"I can't believe we are even discussing this, Alan! This is all so confusing."

A few days later, I picked her up at work because her car was in the shop. Lexi was unusually quiet. We drove and listened to the radio. I watched her fidgeting, as if she was uncomfortable. She was in her own world, staring out the side window, as if in a trance, deep in thought.
To break the silence, I shut off the radio and asked, "Sweetheart, is everything alright? You look troubled."
"Alan, I want to discuss something with you. It's really important," she said nervously, after a pause.
"Sure, go ahead. What's on your mind?"
"I have something to confess."
"What do you have to confess?" I paused, raising an eyebrow.
"I went to lunch today with Henry. We took his car, because I didn't have mine. It was uncomfortable, as I could sense his attraction to me the whole time. At lunch, he asked several rather intimate questions about us."
"Questions like what?" The car behind honked because I didn't go on green.
"Things like, if we are happy. He pried about our sex life. Have I considered a lover? I was shocked. I told him it was not appropriate for him to ask those personal things. I told him I wanted to go back to the office. Then... on the way back, he... he kissed me."
My mouth dropped open and gasped, not quite believing what she shared. Then I said in a raised voice, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No. I'm not kidding. Ever since you planted that thought into my mind, it has been nagging at me. You had asked me before if I ever considered being with another man. I truthfully said no, but... since you brought it up, I think about it quite a lot now."
"Damn! This was just some delusion I shared with you, Lexi. I never thought it would actually become a reality. Tell me the truth. Was that all that happened?"
"Well, not quite... I... I kissed him back, and he... felt my breasts too," Lexi said softly.
"Shit! I can't believe this is happening," I said, pulling off the road before we got into an accident.
"Forgive me?" she asked, in a barely audible voice.
"Nothing to forgive. It was my idea, if you remember? So I guess I'm as responsible as you are. My question is... do you want to continue this?"
"Would it make you mad if I did?"
"I can't believe I'm sitting here discussing my wife having sex with some other guy. It's kinda nuts. I'm happy you told me, rather than have an affair. And... if I was mad about it, I wouldn't be sitting here sporting a huge erection."
"Then... you think I should continue?"
