I was laying in bed next to my husband James. The room was dark with just the soft glow of the TV. We were going to New York in a few weeks and we were discussing our plans for the trip. James and I were in our mid-thirties and had been together forever. We had been to New York once before, but it was only for a couple days. We were excited to go back and check out all the things we had missed on our first trip. I really wanted to spend an afternoon wandering around the Museum of Modern Art and James was interested in seeing the Statue of Liberty up close.
As we were chatting, James softly whispered to me, "Would you be interested in trying that idea we talked about doing on our next vacation?"
When James and I first got together we were more sexually adventurous. However, after a couple years our sex life had become more routine. Starting last year, we talked about how to make it more exciting and so during foreplay, so we came up with the idea of starting to share all the different sexual fantasies we had. At first, it was awkward for me to talk and open up about since I think I'm a bit sexually repressed. I had grown up in a conservative background where sex just wasn't talked about. James was the only person I had ever been with and I didn't have any sexual experiences before our relationship. After being with James for so long though, I admit, I sometimes fantasized about what it would be like to be with another person. What it would be like to feel the touch of someone new. What it would be like to explore their body.
One night, about six months ago, I finally got up the courage to share my fantasy with James. I was worried he would react negatively or be upset. However, to my surprise, James said he was turned on by the idea and said he also had a fantasy of watching me with another person. He hadn't shared it before since he wasn't sure how I would react. I asked him why he liked that fantasy and he said he would enjoy seeing me be sexually empowered, being pleasured by someone else, and that he was turned on by seeing other people desire me. After that night we started to sometimes get in the mood by making up different scenarios around that fantasy. Sometimes it was me with another man, other times with another woman. One of the hottest scenarios we talked about though was going on vacation, finding another couple, spending the day with them, having them show us the sights and then end the evening with me being the couples sexual plaything while James watched. We had talked a lot about different fantasy scenarios, but it was always just fantasy. We had never acted upon them.
As I considered James's suggestion he whispered again, "We can find a couple to hang out with for the day, have them show us the city, and if the spark is there we can take it further. If we're not feeling it, we can split. Lets just see where the night takes us."
The thought of the idea really turned me on, but I was still hesitant. I was nervous about going from fantasyland to reality and how that might impact us. We decided to not commit to anything, but to just dip our toes in the water and see how taking the fantasy a little bit further, beyond just us talking made us feel. James made a post on a couple message boards describing our fantasy to see if any couples wanted to meet up and just see what responses we got.
By the next day we had received about a dozen responses. A few couples stood out, but one in particular was Jake and Lily. Jake and Lily had lived in New York for 10 years. Jake was a personal trainer and Lily was an office manager. Both Jake and Lily were very attractive. Jake was tall, probably at least 6'2" or 6'3", dark hair, muscular, and looked like the definition of a hunk. Lily was average height, slender, fit, long black hair in a ponytail, and very cute. We began messaging with them back and forth talking about our trip, talking a bit about us and them, and just getting a feel for who they were. They both seemed fun, free spirited, and a couple that liked to have fun. As the trip grew nearer, we started to get more serious about planning out the day of our date with them. We made plans to meet at our hotel lobby then start off visiting the Statue of Liberty in the morning like James wanted, stop for lunch in Midtown, visit the MoMA in the afternoon for me, and then grab dinner and drinks and see where things went from there.
When we arrived in New York it was hot and humid. The day of our date with Jake and Lily came and James suggested I try and wear something really sexy. I tried on a few outfits and decided to wear mini jean shorts that were more like a jean thong and a loose fitting tank top with big gaping armholes on the side without a bra. The look was very revealing, showed a lot of sideboob, and had plenty of opportunity for a wardrobe malfunction. As I looked in the mirror I felt sexy and thought to myself, "Wow I look really hot today." We went down the elevator of the hotel and Jake and Lily were there waiting in the lobby and they both greeted us enthusiastically with big smiles. Jake was wearing a plain white form fitting t-shirt and jeans. His look highlighted his muscles and physique. Lily was wearing a very short black mini-skirt and a very sexy deep V backless halter top that didn't do much more than cover her breasts. Both Jake and Lily looked very sexy and were even more attractive than they looked in their photos.
We spent the day sightseeing, getting to know both Jake and Lily and discovered we had a lot of interests in common. They were also both funny and outgoing which helped me feel comfortable since I was usually more shy around new people. Lily especially was super sweet and friendly.
For lunch we went to an amazing Italian restaurant. Over lunch we got to talking and I asked, "How often do you guys meet up with other couples?"
Lily said, "Oh, I don't know, maybe three or four times a year?".
I asked them, "What got you guys into it and what made you keep going?"
Lily said, "Before we started, our sex life was normal, routine. We talked about playing with other couples and finally one day decided to give it a try. After we tried it though, there was no going back. Just because it brought a lot of passion, excitement and I think it brought us closer. I feel it made us desire each other even more."
I asked her, "Do you ever get jealous seeing Jake with another woman?"
Lily said, "No, I like watching him enjoy himself. The key to making it work for us is good communication and clear boundaries."
I shared, "I have to admit I'm nervous. This is going to be my first time being with someone else other than James."
