My 50th birthday had finally arrived. My wife had asked some of my friends around for drinks and the night was going well. I was enjoying myself, feeling pretty relaxed and having some good fun with a lot of friends. Because it was my birthday, some of the more extraverted types made plenty of jokes about my sex drive and my ability to perform now that I was ‘past my prime.’ It was good-natured banter. Joining in the fun, I told them that given my old man status, I might need to get some help since my wife’s sex drive was increasing while mine was decreasing.
It was after I had had a few more beers and talked more with a couple of very old friends when the topic of my ability to perform came up again. I then confided in them telling them that one of my favorite fantasies was to come home and find my wife naked and in bed with another man. “Oh, sure!” was the unanimous and disbelieving response from my two friends. I smiled, raised my glass of quality red wine as if to inspect it, then added,
“Well, all I can say is that I think about it a lot and the thought of sharing my wife turns me on.” Sensing a change in the mood, Joe responded,
“I bet you wouldn’t feel like that if it really happened.” I laughed and thought about it for a few seconds, then said, “I know that you think I’m out of my mind, but I can tell you Joe, that I have had this desire for most of our married life. And Sue and I have been married for a long time.”
“Yes, but reality is very different from fantasy.”
“I know, but how will I ever know. All I know is that I would love to find out for sure. In fact, I think I need to find out for sure because I think about it all the time.”
Joe still wasn’t sure if I was serious and he asked, “Are you telling me that if you found out that Sue was having an affair, you would be happy about it?” I paused for a few seconds while I considered his question, then replied,
“Yes, I would. Like I told you, the thought of her in bed enjoying physical intimacy with another man gets me really hot, really hot. Unfortunately, I think I’m dreaming in vain because I don’t think Sue will ever go for it.” Joe looked at me carefully and said,
“I wouldn’t be too sure of that, Steve. You never know. Your wife might be having a torrid affair right now, and you know that people change as they get older. Sometimes desires that have been dormant for years begin to break through to the surface. And on some occasions people act on them.” Laughing, I went on,
“Dream on, Joe. And I repeat, if she were having an affair it would be the most exciting news I have had in a while.” Again I paused while I considered what I was about to say. “Joe, not only would I actively encourage her; I would even suggest that she bring him home and into our bed, so she could take pleasure from him all night if she wanted.”
“So, if I told you that I knew your wife was having an affair, you wouldn’t be upset? What if I told you I was sleeping with her? Wouldn’t that upset you?”
“No, I wouldn’t be upset.” Then smiling I added, “In fact, it would be terrific, because you’re here so often it would be fun. Plus, I know you’re safe. Part of the excitement for me would be in never knowing what to expect when I got home.” Hitting him playfully on the arm I added, “It sounds like you know something that I don’t.”
Joe gave me a knowing smile, tapped me on the shoulder, and added, “I just might,” as he walked off. Something about the way Joe said this grabbed my attention and caused a surge of pure sexual energy to pass through me.
The party was in full swing. For the next few hours I had a great time, but the conversation I had had with Joe was never far from my mind. A short time later, Joe moved next to me and quietly asked, “Have you ever told Sue what you would like?”
“Only once, years ago, but she wasn’t interested. I don’t even know if she knew I was serious. I have been afraid to ask her again because I don’t want to lose her.”
“Well, if you really want Sue in bed with another guy, I suggest you talk to her tonight because I think she might surprise you.” Laughing but disbelieving, I leaned close to him and told him firmly,
“Joe I want it to happen, so if you can get her to go to bed with you or anyone else, go for it. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.”
“Okay, buddy, I will. But you’d better be sure it’s what you want, because I think your lovely wife might definitely surprise you,” he said then drifted off into the crowd once again without giving me the chance to probe further.
I went searching for Sue. I found her talking with a small group and I joined her. The talk turned once again to sex after 50. I took the opportunity to make my usual joke about needing help, grabbing Sue on the backside as I said it. Sue laughed delightedly and played up to the small crowd, pushing back onto my hand and increasing the pressure. She then said, “Well, lover, be careful, because I might just arrange for some hunky men to help you out. And you never know, I might have already done that” and with a smile, she kissed me fleetingly and drifted off to mingle with our other guests leaving me with the scent of her perfume.
