Sydney, Eastern Suburbs 2009
After more than 18 months in the US, Carolyn & Sean had a lot to catch up on with their friends and neighbours back in Sydney.
Following a leisurely lunch and a couple of bottles of premium Marlborough Pinot Gris, Jenny and David were conscious of how relaxed and assured their old friends had become after their attachment to Sean's company head office in San Diego.
Eventually Jenny asked, "There's something about you two that has changed while you've been away. And I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just that you seem more confident, warmer, easier, ...more alive somehow. Not that you weren't all those before, just that you seem to have ramped up a bit.'
Sean & Caro shared a long look, and a slight nod of Sean's head indicated Caro should take the lead in their response.
"Well, it's kind of a long story, and I'm not sure how you're going to feel about what we have to tell you, but we wanted to let you know how much we value our friendship, and love you both so much. We ask you to hear what we have to say, and know that our love for you will not change."
"Wow, this is sounding really heavy. Have you guys gotten into something illegal or something?" said David, sounding like the lawyer he was.
"No, no, nothing like that, said Caro, laughing at the thought, "and sorry to alarm you like that. It's actually quite legal, but not everyone will understand, so we have to be careful.
"Sean & I have opened up our sexual relationship. Specifically, we are swingers, or to put it more correctly, joined The Lifestyle."
Jenny smiled and high-fived her husband. "Ha, I knew it! When we met for coffee after you first came back, and you wore that gorgeous top that showed off a lot more of your girls than I'd ever seen you show before, and I've never seen you flirt with anyone like you did with that waiter...."
Caro threw her head back and laughed. "I've discovered how gorgeous those girls are, and the fun of dressing up. And as to the waiter, he was kind of hunky, wasn't he? I'm going back there for sure, I'm dying to know if he's single, or committed and open."
It was David's turn to laugh, "And you're cool with this Sean?"
"More than cool. We've started something special, and there's no way we're going to let it go now we're back home. I love to see Caro enjoying herself, and even more, I love to share those times with her. We've met some fabulous people over the last few months, and had some really exciting experiences with them. If Caro wants to have a good time with the waiter, then I'm looking forward to either hearing all about it, or being there to share her with him."
"So, tell us how this happened," said Jenny, still taking it all in, and quite excited about doing so. Her nipples standing out from the sheer fabric of her blouse.
Caro resumed, "We'd been thinking and talking about it for quite a while. We'd both realised that if the only sexual experience we had to look forward to for the rest of our married lives was with each other, there was a chance we were going to feel had missed out, and might even become resentful about all the chances for fun we might have passed up.
"The idea of deceiving each other with affairs was poisonous to both of us, yet we both wanted to experience more than we would ever be able to offer each other alone.
"As long as we set some ground rules, which could be flexible and mutually modified, were truthful with each other, and kept communicating honestly, there was no real barrier.
"We worked out that if we both were on the same page, then sex with other people could just be fun, we could learn a lot from those others, and we could enjoy sharing the experience with each other.
"We'd seen a couple of episodes of a cable show called 'Swing', in which a couple interested in opening up their relationship spends a weekend in a mansion, generally around Hollywood or Las Vegas, with 5 or 6 other couples who are regular swingers. The newbie couple get the chance to get to know the others, play games, and usually later, have the option of sex with anyone they click with. It's all filmed of course, and they do an amazing job of keeping the crews and gear out of shot.
"At the end of one show there was an ad seeking committed couples who would like to be on the show to apply and audition, so we raced around looking for paper and wrote down all the contact details. We didn't intend to actually do it, at that point we just thought it would be fun to think about it. We knew our time in the States was coming to a close, and we didn't have the friend and family commitments there which might have made it awkward."
With a glance at Jenny's bemused expression, Caro hastened to add, "Not including you guys of course. I know you're pretty broad-minded and trusted you wouldn't judge us harshly."
Jenny smiled again and looked smilingly at David. "Of course not, it's your life, and if you're loving it then we are happy for you."
Caro continued, "Anyway, that piece of paper just sat around for a few days, calling to us both, and finally we just looked at each other and said 'Let's do it.'"
"We sent them a letter and a quick audition tape, and a month or so later the producers called to arrange a video conference interview, which was really all about finding out how serious we were and whether we might back out. After a couple more days they offered us the gig, and we thought 'Shit, what have we done?'
"When it came to work and friends, we knew word might get out, but figured the people most likely to see us on the show were probably pretty simpatico anyway, so no big deal. And if there were any who couldn't handle it, we probably wouldn't hear from them again. Plus we knew we were going back to Oz in a couple of months. If we were serious about our lifestyle choice, then something like this would be a great start to it.
"Our best friends in San Diego were Keisha and Matt, who lived a couple of doors away. Matt and Sean worked together, and a lot of the street seemed to be company houses. They were African-American, and had come from the mid-West originally. I was really excited when the producer rang to say we'd been selected, and couldn't wait to tell Keisha all about it. I wasn't sure how she'd react, but she just screamed for joy and was so happy for me. She said she and Matt had seen quite a few episodes of the show, and loved the way they had a mix of different races, personalities and body types, both the 'newbies', who were the couple of the week, and the 'residents', who were the 5 or 6 experienced couples already in the house. Like us, they had talked about opening up their relationship sexually, but hadn't really gotten brave enough to make the first step.
"One of the suggestions the producers made was that it would help if we got a little practice beforehand at being naked and having sex in the presence of cameras, so that we didn't have any reactions later. Keisha said she and Matt would be happy to be our camera people. She had a GoPro and we also had a video camera, so we could have two points of view and edit for a finished product.
"Well, that exercise went better than I could ever tell. Keisha and Matt came over for a weekend barbeque lunch, which was great but a little distracted because we were all thinking about what was to come. After we'd had a few glasses of wine and were feeling fairly mellow, Sean suggested we move inside. Matt had been fooling around a bit with the camera over lunch, and both Keisha and I had gotten a bit playful and flashed him some titty, just to get us all in the mood.
"We moved inside to our bedroom. Sean and I were already pretty horny, and having the others moving around us with the cameras made us even more so. We'd hardly taken anything off when Matt interrupted us, saying it wasn't right for us to be getting naked and he and Keisha staying fully clothed, so he said they had to fix that straight away.
"Keisha just smiled and laughed and had all her clothes off in about 5 seconds. She has a fabulous body, and Sean just about came right then. Matt was an even bigger revelation, and I mean bigger. Apart from nice abs and pecs, he had a gorgeous penis. Not huge, but bigger than Sean's, and nice and thick. He got hard straight away, and stayed that way right through the filming. I would say it was hard to concentrate on the filming, but it actually made it all so much easier.
"We undressed each other slowly while they filmed us, and it seemed like only a few seconds later we were both naked (although the film showed it took over four minutes). We just caressed each other and then I sucked Sean's cock while Keisha came in for a close-up. Then we lay down on the bed and Sean went to work on my pussy with his mouth (just love this man, such a wonderful tongue). Matt was close then, and I reached out and touched his cock once, but he was concentrating on the job in hand.
"Now, I know you're probably thinking that this is leading towards our first full swap experience, and it might well have been, except that we'd made a pact with each other that the show was going to be our first time. If Keisha and Matt wanted to get together with us, there would be chances once we got back home to them, and before we had to come back to Sydney.
"We'd talked about our decision over lunch, so Matt and Keisha knew that swapping with them wasn't on the table, well not for that night anyway, even though we were all so horny. So Sean and I had sex, and they got it all on film, at least as much as Matt could manage because Keisha kept distracting him. That girl was not a great cinematographer, but she sure had a great time trying. After we'd both had huge orgasms and were just rolling around, they just handed us the cameras and said it was our turn to do some filming.
"The difficult thing was keeping the camera steady, because we got so horny all over again. Keisha just couldn't wait to get Matt's cock inside her, and her pussy was incredibly wet before he even touched her. He was just teasing her at first, putting a little more of himself into her and then withdrawing a little, and she was giving little whimpers whenever he did. All the time I was watching her, making eye contact with her when I wasn't concentrating on filming, and she was smiling at me as that beautiful cock went into her. I started thinking how nice it would be to give her some pleasure, and for her to do the same to me.
"And Keisha came before Matt even had it all the way into her, and then again when he really started going the whole nine yards,.... So to speak....not that that's how long it was.
"After Matt came we all climbed into the shower together, which is also something that happens in the show a bit. We conned them by saying we needed the practice, but they were easy to convince. The shower was fantastic, and we did a lot of fondling, but a deal is a deal and they went home.
