I never tried to hide my past from my husband, but I never advertised it either. When our dating started to get serious I felt that I had to do full disclosure. We never really talked about after we got married I had always felt it was better left unsaid.
Being a virgin was never an issue. I was still married to my ex-husband when we started dating. After my divorce we started dating furiously and stayed together more often than not. I knew he was in love with me, and I was in love with him. This would be the test.
I worked for five years in the bars outside Clark Airbase in Angeles City in the Philippines. I was a prostitute, a hooker. My job was to "entertain" GI's when they were away from home. Technically it was just drinks and dances but they could pay the bar for date, which allowed me to leave work and go to dinner or whatever with the man.
Nine times out of ten it led to me having sex with them for a small (small for them, large for me) amount of money.
About half the men used me for the one evening then went on; their goal being to bang as many girls as fast as they could. Others enjoyed the female company, and after the first sex felt attached to me in a way. These men usually became "steady". If a guy wanted to go steady with me, he would pay my bar fine for the time he was planning to be there, then I wouldn't have to go to work until the bar fine expired.
This time could be as short as a week or as long as a lifetime as many of the guys fell in love with their personal hookers and married them.
That's how I got here. Shawn fell in love with me. He really didn't and I knew it. He was just addicted to the sex. Of course having sex with a personal hooker then having sex with a wife who used to be your (and many other men's) hooker are two different things.
Then of course there is the realization that you just married a prostitute who could have fucked half your buddies and then some is a hard thing to wake up to for some men. Shawn was one of them. The abuse was physical and psychological.
I met Eric while I was having an affair with one of his students. He made me feel good.
Our sex was never that great though but his heart was wonderful. When I told him that the women he just gave a ring to was a former prostitute he didn't seem to care.
The only problem in our marriage was his seeming aversion to having sex very often. He loved me that much was clear. I tried all kinds of things to try to increase his drive but all to no avail. I even roped him into a 3-some with one of my girlfriends. He wasn't that interested.
My frustration grew to where I was not sure I felt sexy or desirable any more. I came close to having an affair. I knew however that there must be something I was missing.
At the urging of a male friend who knew my background he suggested that maybe the idea of me being a hooker might excite him. I told him I doubted it. I decided that failing everything else maybe I could find a way to put it to the test without rubbing my past in his face. I didn't care to tell him and he never asked how many men had me. I was afraid if he ever did it would really put him off. In five years, a bar girl can rack up quite a few bedpost notches.
My test was to prod him slightly and see where it took me. The results were beyond my wildest imagination.
I came out of the bathroom in a satin robe, naked underneath, top open revealing boobs. He had on boxer sleeping shorts.
(as near as I can recall)
Me: "I love you."
He "I love you so very much."
Me: "Am I sexy to you?"
He: "You are the sexiest woman I have ever seen."
Me: "Maybe before when I was young but I'm older now, more mature."
He: "You are sexier than ever."
Me: "I used to attract men." -- [subtle hint.]
He; "You still attract men, maybe even more."
Me: "No, not more." -- [another hint]
We were close, touching. His hand was on my upper arm stroking.
He: "You used to attract men by the dozen. They used to stand in line for you." --[ showing that he knew what I was taking about]
Me: "That was different, no romance." -- [my admission]
He: "I don't believe that. It's not true."
Me: "Maybe sometimes, with a few. Most were just there for company." -- [just in case there was any doubt]
He: "Sex is more than company." -- [letting me know he was very aware]
Me: "Not always." [Me letting him know that I was often used as merely a warm place for guys to pop off into.]
He: "Tell me."
Me: (hesitating) "Uhhhh"
He: "Tell me a story, good or bad. What was it like for you?"
Me: "I don't know....."
He: "Have you ever known a Steve?" [where the hell did he find that out?]
Me: "Ahhhh yes a couple...." [Prevaricating a bit]
He: "Tell me about a Steve." he apparently chose the name at random)
Me: "I don't really rememb...." [lying my ass off]
He: "Yes you do." [Not to get away with it]
Me: "He was just a guy." [Lying again]
He: "A guy you had sex with, right?" [busted]
Me: "errrr, yeah I think so." [No sense lying any more]
He: "You did or you didn't."
Me: "I did."
He: "One time or several?"
Me: "Maybe more than once."
He: "How many times?"
--- he was really hard by this time, it was poking out of his boxers.
Me: "Maybe 2 months I think."
He: "Every night?"
Me: "Yeah I think so..."
He: "He was a steady, right?"
Me: "He had a wife in the states." [All true]
He: "But he developed feelings for you." --- [ a statement not a question]
Me: "Yes, maybe he did."
He: "Tell me about the first time you slept with him." [Not much sleep that night]
Me: "I don't really remembe...."
He: "Yes you do, tell me."
Me: "He was the friend of a guy that was dating Nina, my friend in the bar."
He: "So Nina introduced you?"
Me: "No, Nina's friend did."
He: "The guy that was fucking Nina?"
