Dear Anna,
I wanted to avoid such a clichΓ©d opening to my letter but I'm finding it hard to think of anything else that sums up my situation so succinctly. So here it is, and I give this warning to my fellow readers in a desperate hope that it will give at least one of them pause:
Be careful what you wish for
.
It's trite to say, I know, and I wouldn't have listened either. Now I know better, Dear Anna, and despite learning my lesson I'm still being punished. This isn't a plea for help or advice, but rather a cautionary tale for those who finally catch up to the fantasies they pursue. My apologies, Dear Anna, vague warnings and allusions to obscure misery don't make for an interesting read, so let me start at the beginning.
My name is Sean, and I'm thirty five years old. I live in a small town outside a bigger city that I wont name for obvious reasons, and I work in security. Specifically, I sell Security cameras and I work mainly from home. I make enough that my wife, Ellen, also thirty five, doesn't need to and is free to pursue what she likes to call her, "art photography" and I like to call, "a glass of wine before lunch." I don't begrudge Ellen her wine, her cigarettes or her chocolate, because I also have a vice:
pornography
.
I'm not sure I would have categorized my use of porn as an addiction until the pandemic hit. Before Covid I would say I watched porn maybe two or three times a week. Ellen and I hadn't had much of an active sex life since she had quit her job three or so years ago and I was using porn to make the sting of that lack of intimacy a little less painful.
Let me be clear, Anna, the low libido partner wasn't me. I was, and still am, very attracted to my wife. I've kept myself in shape throughout my thirties and I've still got the body that drew Ellen to me in the first place. I wake up every morning with an erection hard enough to cut diamond and I
never
passed up an opportunity to get Ellen in the sack.
Ellen, however, has gained some weight since she stopped working. She blamed "getting old" and I blamed, "wine and chocolate" but the result was the same: no sex. She claimed her libido lowered as she aged but I was convinced it was the weight gain. To be clear, Dear Anna, we're not talking about hundreds of pounds here, Ellen's just a little chubbier than she used to be.
Frankly, it made me even more attracted to her. Her breasts are fuller and her already ample bottom even more shapely. I don't care about a bit of sag and all I can say is the bigger the bum the better. I was salivating just watching her walk up the stairs. Ellen, however, didn't see things the same way I did. The revealing clothes and swimsuits vanished along with the sex, replaced with baggy shirts and sweatpants. Any attempt to initiate was met with a polite, but firm, refusal.
Then the pandemic hit and my life was turned upside down. My business took a downturn and I was forced to let my single employee go. Suddenly I couldn't work purely from home anymore and I had to head into the store to do the jobs I once paid someone else to do for me. At first the change of pace was a breath of fresh air but as the months passed I found myself bored beyond belief. Shipments were few and far between, and customers even rarer, so I found myself twiddling my thumbs for the majority of my work day.
That's when I began to be consumed. I told myself it was trashy as all hell to watch porn at work but as the days turned into weeks and the weeks to months I needed something to occupy my mind.
I was the boss
, after all,
couldn't I just do what I wanted?
I quickly found myself watching hours of porn every day, flicking from one scene to another as rapidly as a couch potato changes channels.
I became obsessed with porn stars, making it my mission to track down every single scene they'd starred in once I'd got even mildly aroused from their work. My tastes changed too, Dear Anna, and I found myself sliding deeper and deeper into hardcore pornography. For as long as I can remember I've always been a vanilla guy, but as I descended into my addiction only the harder stuff would get me off:
cum shots
,
gang bangs
,
face fucking
and
anal
quickly replaced
missionary
and
blowjob
in my search bar.
Something else was happening too. Instead of imaging myself in the scene, I became more and more aroused by the thought of simply watching them unfold. No longer was I the performing stud, but merely the voyeur. My attempts at home to get Ellen into bed began to fall off and I started hiding myself away in the bathroom to masturbate to my phone. If Ellen noticed she didn't say, and I was too engrossed with my harem of digital girlfriends to care.
This, Dear Anna, is how it continued until Ellen caught me.
I'm not sure when she started to notice my withdrawal, but notice it she did. As she told me later, a suspicion grew in her mind that I was having an affair. I suppose in a way I was. By that point I had my cock in my hand practically all day at work, working myself into a porn-fueled frenzy. I'd sit, pants around my ankles, at my desk, stroking myself to completion between emails and not even stopping for the occasionally unavoidable phone call.
I was obsessed. I imagined myself as a leering ghost, invisible to the performers as they fucked and fucked, entwined in a thousand different positions and depravities. I began to imagine dating my stars, being the doting boyfriend who drove them to their shoots and told them afterwards, over dinner, how great they looked in their scenes. My office shared a wall with the unit next door so I had made a habit of wearing my earphones while I enjoyed my films and it was in this ever-so-compromising position that Ellen came upon me, unseen and unheard, from behind.
To say that it was a shit-show would be an understatement. Before I knew what was happening Ellen had ripped off my earphones hard enough to make my head ring and pull them out from the computer.
"Sean," she screamed, her face as red as a tomato, "what the hell is going on? Is
this
what you're doing all day?"
All I could do was stare at her, my throbbing cock still at full attention in my hand, and stutter, "Ellen...ba...babe, what are you d...doing here?"
Needless to say, there was a lot of shouting, screaming and tears that day. Ellen, it emerged, had been convinced I was fucking my old employee and she had been ready to catch me in the act. Once the reality of the situation became clear Ellen stopped yelling, but the tears continued.
"How can you," Ellen had gestured, "prefer this...this
filth
...over your own wife?"
In the shock of being caught I had neglected to turn off what I had been watching and our violent argument had been punctuated with the moans of the performers. It was, Dear Anna, a bad scene to have been caught watching. There was Emily Rose, my then favourite, sandwiched between two burly hunks and moaning like some cheap whore as they sawed in and out of her tight, pink holes.
I'm sure, Dear Anna, that it was the
kind
of porn I was watching that had so incensed my wife. She was as vanilla as I had been before the pandemic, and the sight of a woman having a thick and throbbing cock balls deep in her backside surely must have almost given my wife a heart attack.
