After twenty years of marriage I still loved my wife but had lost the sexual edge. She had shared our sex life willingly but was never one to initiate lovemaking or even talk of it. So it was with some surprise that I heard her asking,
"Have you ever thought I'd been unfaithful to you?"
"The idea has never entered my head, but my thoughts once strayed that way when whilst I was working away for three months you might have, as you had mentioned becoming very friendly with a bloke in your office." I replied.
She laughed and said. "I never thought of him sexually." Then added, "Perhaps I should have."
At that thought I asked her, "Have you ever thought of having an affair?"
"Once," She said. "One of my college friends was having an affair with a guy from her town and I did wondered what it would like to be in bed with a man other than you, but it was only a brief thought and soon forgotten."
We were sitting in the lounge after dinner and I was intrigued.
I asked, "Why are you thinking about this now."
She replied, "I'm forty-three and soon my looks will fade and men won't want to look at me as a sex object anymore."
She had always looked after herself, she was tall and slim with long blonde hair and extremely good long shapely legs and I was not surprised that she thought men might see her in a sexual way.
She carried on. "You know Josie's Neil once tried to seduce me." She said.
I didn't and asked. "When?"
"A while ago now you were away, but he was definitely trying to get into my knickers." She explained.
"Why did you not let him?" I asked her.
She looked at me and said. "I just couldn't have done such a thing unless you had approved of it."
My reply was to repeat what I had often told her, "I have no rights over your body and I have said before that when I am away you were free to do as you pleased."
She thought for a while and then carried on. "I had always dismissed the thought of such a thing. For a start I didn't think I was much good at it so I wouldn't have much to offer."
I laughed and quietly told her, "You have a lot to offer and all you needed to do was to let yourself go and enjoy sex totally." I continued. "Some of our best sex has been when you have drunk a few too many gins and tonics as were very relaxed."
The subject was not mentioned for a couple of days but two evenings later she snuggled up beside me and asked, "Would you really not have minded if I'd had a sexual relationship with another man?"
I held her to me and said. "I love you and believe you love me and that was all that mattered to me." Then almost jokingly said, "I've always rather fancied seeing you with her legs open and another man between them."
This really made her sit up. I had secretly always wanted her to shag around a bit so that I could too, but I was not going to tell her that.
She kissed me passionately and said she, "Don't me."
I pointed to the computer and suggested we take some photos of her in various states of undress and post them on a chat site and she would see what reaction both other men and I would have.
She got up and left the room. A little while later she returned with her camera. She pushed the camera at me and ordered me. "Right you take some shots."
I got her to pose standing up and then asked, "Remove some clothes slowly."
I continued shooting and soon she was down to bra and panties at which point I made her stop. "Squirm around for me so I take pictures of your cleavage and your silkily covered crutch." I demanded. She did quite a job of posing for about ten minutes.
We both sat at the computer and chose the best pictures and began to compose a biography of her and her wishes. When we had finished it was after ten and she was a bit embarrassed as she thought she sounded a bit of a slut already.
"It's only an exercise to see if she can cut it at attracting men not a full-blown contact proposal." I heard myself saying, knowing that it may become just that.
It took very few minutes to find a sex contact line and list her on it. We went in to the kitchen and made coffee. When we returned she had received fifteen emails from men who fancied her and some of the mails were very graphic in what the men wanted from her. We rejected all but three, these being the non-explicit men and men whose photograph made them look attractive. We replied to each with the same email asking general questions. Again the replies came through quickly and two were then discarded as unsuitable. What was I doing? This was only an exercise but now she and I were becoming serious about it. I switched the PC off and we went to bed.
In the morning she asked, "What should I do if a guy wants more info or to meet me?"
My answer to that was to go down and look at the computer. I should have known that the guy we had stayed with had left a message. He was asking about Chloe and wanted more pictures and information, nothing of a sexual nature was mentioned. I replied to him giving him some more physical details and posted the first of the more revealing pictures.
Chloe's reaction when she saw what I had sent was one of surprise. I turned and asked. "Do you like him are you going to consider screwing him?"
I really thought I'd shot my bolt, as she didn't reply for nearly ten minutes. Suddenly she gushed. "What are your thoughts about it?"
I told her. "I will be happy if she was."
Then she asked. "How will you know it will be all right if he came to her and she allowed herself to be seduced by him?"
