Like many couples we had, from time to time , discussed inviting other people to sometimes join in with our sex lives. The idea appealed to us both, if it had been just my decision then there would have been no problem.
It's different for a woman though, there are so many other things for her to consider; inhibitions from her upbringing, societies opinion, confidence in her body, the list goes on, the biggest fear though was that the woman from the other couple wouldn't like her, as though that mattered!
Although it seemed unlikely that anything would ever happen we carried on discussing it. The idea excited us both. I was shocked though when she admitted that she had discussed it with her friend Sandra.
Guys are regularly accused of discussing their sex lives but in my experience it just doesn't happen. Sure we discuss sex, like hazarding a guess on our luck with the new secretary or discussing the artistic merits of the infamous Pamela Anderson video, but never our own sex lives.
It was therefore astonishing to find that Sandra knew of our joint fantasy. Especially as I knew her to be happily married and that she herself would never even contemplate sex with another guy.
Curious I asked what Sandra's reaction had been.
"She didn't really have one, she just got me to rationalise my doubts."
"Did you make a decision?"
"Not really, I mean you know that the idea excites me, it's just that I would hate it if , say, you arranged for one of your friends, who I knew, to be the first and I honestly can't promise that I wouldn't get a bit jealous seeing you with another girl, especially if she was prettier than me".
I'd already guessed that, which was why I hadn't already kicked things off with an advert in the personal column of an advertising paper that specialises in that sort of liaison.
Similarly I had rejected the idea of another couple for our first encounter. Nothing would be worse than to find myself slipping inside the naked body of a young lady, assuming that her husband was doing something similar with Jane only to see her running out of the room in tears.
I had long decided that if our fantasy was ever to become reality then Jane would have to be the first to enjoy the experience.
Her next words gave me the solution to our dilemma , but I wasn't about to give anything away just yet.
"It wouldn't be so bad" She began choosing her words with care, "If I didn't have to meet the guy. The thought of making small talk , knowing exactly what he was imagining might happen an hour or so later worries me, especially as I would hate to say no once he had his hopes built up. If there was a guy that I hadn't met and would never have to meet in the future, if he was happy to look and touch but with no guarantee of sex , that would be OK. Do you have the phone number of the Invisible Man?" She laughed.
I didn't have his number but I did have the germination of an idea.
