I had a lot of "boyfriends" before I got married when I was 27, but by "boyfriend" I mean a guy with a stiff penis who would fuck me, then spend as little time as possible pretending he loved me. I think they all did love fucking, and I learned how to enjoy a variety of "styles", even a guy who was way too "fast" but was funny and I would use my vibrator when he was making a "booty call", so I was close to orgasm before he ever pulled out his oversensitive dick.
I married a guy who seemed "stable" and smart and he had a good job and actually spent more time than usual pretending he loved me. Maybe he actually did? Maybe I expected too much from "love", or maybe the kind of man I seem to select does not really have time to waste on girl stuff, and needs to get back to his male friends in order to drink and play baseball and talk about all the girls they have had sex with.
I was happy enough, but wanted to have children and it became obvious that sex with my husband was not "doing it". I had stopped BC pills when we got married, and 9 months later I had not missed a single period. I talked to him about it and he suggested I "get tested". He did not suggest that HE get tested, so it took a year to figure out that he did not produce much in the way of sperm and what he did produce were not good swimmers.
After looking at the price of various medical alternatives, he became more and more furious at the idea we should "waste" thousands to get me fertilized... especially if his sperm were unlikely to be able to do that.
"If you are going to have someone else's baby, why shouldn't he help pay for it?" The idea that I wanted ANY baby I could produce was not something I should tell him- it was true, but I didn't think he could "deal with it". Plus I felt that if a guy was going to have to pay, he should at least get the pleasure of performing the insemination. I had set up a fake email account years earlier, and had always had anonymous relationships with a variety of men and women, representing myself as male, female, bisexual, transexual, older, younger... I considered it sort of like being an "actress" who could play ANY role. I had managed to communicate with my husband as both an older man and a younger woman thru my "fake" email accounts and various postings that got his attention and turned into e-friendship. I had done this with several boyfriends and consider it the very best way to weed out total JERKS who may fool you for way too long if you don't get their actual personality in an "anonymous" message. Guys who are getting the sex they enjoy will put up with almost any kind of bullshit if they think it will keep a steady flow of sex "coming" for them.
So I sent my husband some links to "alternatives" to medical procedures. Most were basically having a stranger fuck me, with various ways for us to check out the strangers "genotype" so we didn't end up with a three-legged one-eyed whatever. Actually I was getting so frustrated that I just wanted to be a mom and if the first baby was not perfect, I realized that meant the baby would need MORE mothering... which I was ready to provide.
My husband did not like the idea of months of strangers "fucking you", not even when I explained it would only be during my most fertile three days, and "only" three days. I realized he was worried I would fall in love with the father of my child, so I discovered a website video to send him that had him jerking off all night as he rewatched it. It was gross, but it did seem likely to achieve my purpose. Here is how it works:
We gather as many guys as you can find who are willing and seem to be genetically adequate. And by "we" I mean me, since my husband didn't want to know any of the guys, and did not want ME to know any of the guys... so I was supposed to hire someone to select our donors. I did find a retired nurse named Glenda who agreed to find donors among the husbands of the various RNs she knew would be OK with helping a woman get pregnant (by allowing the husband do do what was needed, as long as there was "no relationship" and it was sort of a medical procedure. Originally my husband thought injecting the sperm (truly a medical procedure) would be enough- but I have to believe that thousands of years of intercourse might possibly have something to do with successful impregnation... and if this didn't work the instrumenting me was the next step.
PLUS I was supposed to figure out THE optimal day for me to receive my "sex injection" (my husband's words, not mine). The video I had sent him a link to shows a bunch of naked guys rubbing their cocks, while one man holds a womans legs back and up, exposing her vagina. On of the group (at a time) "makes love to" the vagina... maybe the word fuck fits better in the sentence since it did not really seem very "loving" on the video, although the woman did not seem injured or upset... nor did she seem excited and was commenting (in a foreign language) that occasionally got replies from the penis owner or from the guy who was holding her, and sometimes laughs. That might be a good contest: develop an English script for the video, and insert it as subtitles... I actually thought of several clever comments the woman could make... then realized that I might actually be in that situation and would I have the courage to make jokes? That made ME laugh, because I could not imagine anything I might say that would convince a stiff cock to NOT slide around in me.
It was "just that simple". My husband did not even want to provide snacks and beer for the guys involved! I managed to get him to agree to entertainment (music), food, beer, and "fluffers". These are hookers who are paid to help porn actors keep stiff between takes... doing what ever it takes (I did NOT want to be responsible for getting guys stiff, nor did I want to spend a lot of time being fucked more than I needed to be to receive the sperm that I wanted. I could have explained: "I did not want to spend a lot of time being made love to while waiting for my love to be consummated." Doesn't that sounds really stupid given the situation... I think it makes sense to call a fuck a fuck?
