A slightly different take on a well-worn theme.
***
Curiosity satisfied
Lucy and I are both twentythree, and have been married just over a year. She is five foot nine to my six foot one. We're both blonde, and make quite an imposing couple. She has big breasts and hips, which I love; artists would call her Rubenesque. Our sex life is fantastic and we do everything except anal. Pity, because I've always wanted to try that. Still, it's not the end of the world.
One night after dinner, she sprung a question on me.
"Ever thought of swinging?" she asked.
"Not really. You give me everything I need."
(OK, that was not quite true.)
"But it wouldn't be about we need; it would be about what we want. Just the experience of trying someone different."
"And this is something you want is it?"
"Well it's not worth falling out over. If you're not interested, I'll forget all about it. But, yes, it is something I do fancy trying . . . if you agree."
"Do you have anyone particular in mind?" I asked.
"I thought we might try swapping with Marcus and Fran."
"Ah, got it! You want to try a black man."
She thought about it. Lucy and I have never told each other lies, and I knew I would hear the truth now.
"Yes Dave. I fancy having sex with a black man."
"You've discussed this with them?"
"Fran and I have discussed it yes; she fancies you."
"I never knew."
"Why would you? We were sharing a bottle of wine and the conversation kind of drifted that way."
"So what does Marcus think about all this?"
"He knows nothing about it. Fran is discussing it with him tonight, as we speak. But if they can't agree, or if you don't want to, it will not happen. No way either of us would ever cheat."
I wasn't sure I liked the sound of it at first. But thinking it through, she's had worse ideas. Sex with Fran might be good fun. And Marcus might well be thinking the same thing about Lucy.
"Well no doubt you two schemers will get your heads together again soon. Tell her I'm willing to talk it over with Marcus. If he's interested."
Marcus is the same height as me; different skin colour of course, and I suspect more muscles. I've never seen him stripped for the swimming pool or anything, but he puts me in mind of an American basketball player. And Fran could hardly be more different to Lucy. She's short for a start, with dark brown hair and tiny breasts. Probably tiny everything come to that. I must admit the prospect of sex with her is intriguing. Perhaps we should try it.
"Fran is hardly my type babe."
"Of course she isn't. If you're going to have sex with another woman, there's not much point in doing with someone who looks like me, is there?""
"You're probably right. I've never given it much thought."
"Well that's the whole idea." Lucy continued. "Marcus is just the first one to spring to mind. We know him and Fran, so it's convenient. But this is all about a new experience. Bigger, smaller, hairier, bald. It has nothing to do with type; we already have that with each other."
"True."
"OK, that's not entirely true; I'm curious to try a big black cock. I've never even seen a black man naked."
"No porn?"
"I've never seen any porn."
Lucy has always been a bit on the naive side. She was a virgin when we married and it was a delight to coax her along the various pathways of sex. She found her footing easily and I'm proud of how she came out of her shell. And I know our relationship is rock solid. This revelation about trying another partner is something of a surprise. But her forthright way of dealing with it is typical of her.
We were about to go to bed when the phone rang. Lucy answered and covered the mouthpiece.
"It's Fran."
"Already?"
"You go on up love, I won't be long."
It would be nice to say our love-making was wilder than usual, but it's always great. After we'd done, it turned out there would be no need for me to discuss things with Marcus. He had agreed to give it a whirl. He was probably intrigued, thinking about Lucy's big breasts. So the decision on this venture would be mine alone. I suggested we sleep on it.
Over coffee next morning, I was the one to bring it up.
"You've never seen any porn?"
"None. It doesn't really appeal to me."
"So why the sudden interest in having a black man?"
"It's the differences mainly; the contrast of his skin and mine. The thought of passonately kissing a man with black lips and a black tongue."
"I think you'll find his tongue is pink."
"Whatever, you know what I mean."
"Anything else?" I asked.
"Of course!" she laughed. "I've only ever had sex with you. I want to try a big black dick. Fran says Marcus is huge! I can't imagine how she accommodates him!"
"So, should I be concerned about what the porn literature says about this?"
"I have no idea what it says." she replied.
"Once you've gone black, you never go back."
"That's silly! I'm talking about a one time thrill. I don't love Marcus, and I certainly don't want his babies. I thought this would just be a bit of fun, before you and I start a family. But if you're concerned, just say so. Fran and I have already agreed we're willing to abandon the idea."
