"After twelve years, I just couldn't take it anymore," I said. "I NEEDED more variety. But he became jealous and couldn't handle it."
"Did you introduce him to the lifestyle?"
"I tried. We went to one of the lifestyle clubs. But he couldn't get it up, and he was jealous, seeing other men doing me there."
"That might not have been the best way to get him started with swingers," Ted offered. "Clubs are too intense and random for newbies. You can't depend on the type of people who will be there, and whether any woman would make it easier for him. For men, it's not like being a 'kid in a candy store,' picking whatever they want. There are too many distractions around. It's a guy-thing. And men can be insecure when it comes to their own performance. If he can't perform as often as you, then he's left to just stand there and watch you with another man."
"Or woman," I added. "I go both ways, and I missed being with other women, too."
"So, what made you get married?" he asked.
"I started in the lifestyle with one couple in a threesome during college," I said. "Then I found more friends, men and women, and other couples. After a few years, I met Brad at a non-lifestyle party, and we just hit it off and dated. I thought he was the perfect guy for me."
"If you liked women and more variety, then marriage would be like trying to quit smoking by going "cold turkey," stopping completely and quickly."
"I know," I admitted a little shyly. "But I guess I was getting a little tired of the lifestyle as a single and wanted a partner. He knew about my past and encouraged me to forget about it. But after a few years of marriage and monogamous sex with him,... it just got boring! It's not like he had a small penis or anything bad. I really LIKED his member. I just started missing the variety I had in the lifestyle before we were married."
