This is a story about a wife, and her buried passions. There are many cuckold affiliated men that think of conditions that would appeal to them, but few of those men experience a wife that searches for the condition that allows her to make him one. This story will work on the fabric of a women becoming empowered without losing respect for her. My primary audience is my own wife, and it's a dirty letter I share with you.
*****
My husband and I have known our closest friends for years. We met in middle school and never lost contact; although remaining in contact was easy after we all found employment after college in our home town. There was at one time four of use, but Jason's long time sweet heart left him shortly after college for employment in another region. It wasn't all bad as it wasn't long before he found another woman that we accepted into the circle of friends.
My name is Rachel, and it's been several years since we all distanced ourselves from our 20 something weekend antics. We are still active people in our lifestyles, but the headaches and pain caused by juggling life and pleasure had a calming effect. This kind of fundamental change doesn't always sit well with some couples. My husband and I found it to be a natural path, but when looking at people only a few years younger than us we were reminded of times gone by. I envied how the youth never seemed to be burdened by the stress of money and work like the way we are. The brick and mortar of our assets always weighted against our life spirit.
Our closest friends Jason and Tiffany unlike us had met later in life. They worked together in the same business, and spent most of their time together. As time passed and the romance between them simmered, a change started to appear in our best friend's relationship. It was natural for me to develop a strong bond with Tiffany; because my husband spent most of his free guy time with his best friend Jason. It started with occasional snarky comments, and eventually migrated to hear-to-heart conversations with Tiffany on what she should do. She was clearly the type of women that wasn't accepting the changes occurring in her 30's.
As time went on her conversations were littered with remarks about other men, and it was clear she longed for their attention. It didn't seem overtly wrong to innocently gawk at other guys, and at times I would encourage the conversation in ways I wouldn't have in the past. The underlying concern for me was how she was making it more and more obvious she wasn't enjoying her sex life, until one day her occasional jabs completely stopped.
It seemed like the spark in her was renewed, and it shown throughout her relationship. They had started to go dancing on the weekends, and planned for events that didn't include work. At first I was a good friend and was happy for them, but envy comes in many forms. That smile she carried permanently on her face was something I could barely remember. My life was great in so many ways, but the desire she shared with her husband was enviable. I hadn't even considered how her continual harping about her problems may have affected my own outlook, and how I had begun to sympathize with her more than I had realized.
As months passed and her perpetual smile remained the same I felt the increased need to know what changed. I started to ask her precise questions whenever I got the chance about the changes they made, but she would only give me the generic answers on how they needed to spend more time together.
It was on a relaxing Sunday afternoon when the four of us got together that I had a chance to pry. I wanted to wait till I had Tiffany alone so that I could ask her directly what changed for her. It wouldn't have been an out of the line question considering I knew her history of former complaints, but I had to be patient to get her alone and comfortable enough to talk about it.
As the guys went from indoors to outdoors to look at some project Colin wanted to start up next on our home I found my chance. "Tiffany," I asked while pausing to check my words closely. "Can I ask what changed that you look so happy now," I said trying to not look like I needed her advice personally.
She smiled and paused before answering, "We had to figure out what's important for each of us, and since then we have been working to make ourselves happy in those ways." I knew by the look on her face she was holding something back, and was deliberately being vague again. I wasn't sure if she wanted me to pry, but I was still curious how she renewed the life in her relationships dimming light.
"How did you figure out what was so individually important to you that it obviously affected you so positively," I asked. She paused before answering and fought back a smile. "You guys look great together again," I continued before she had time to answer. "It doesn't seem like you make any effort to get your man to go dancing, and what's shocking is he looks like he enjoys it. Was the change in him, or was it something you did as well," I said probing deeper.
"We are close friends Rachel, but believe me what works for us might not work for another couple," she said trying to not expand on the topic.
"True, but I am asking you what you did. Unless it's too private of a question I would like to know what you learned so that maybe I could make the same changes you did," I said now feeling more like I was making a confession. "I am looking to you for advice, because sometimes I feel like I really need it," I said now pleading in a way I didn't intend to.
"Do you know what swingers are," she asked looking defensive for the first time?
All I could do was gasp for air, and attempt not to giggle. Suddenly I felt like I child on the school ground being told by a friend how she kissed a boy for the first time, but this was obviously bigger. "You guys are swingers? How and who's idea was it," I asked in a whispered voice.
"You can't say anything Rachel! Promise what I'll tell you will stay between us, and try not to judge," she answered looking increasingly defensive. The look on her face told me she was going to tell me everything, and it looked like a great stress was about to come off her shoulders. I of course nodded yes, but knew as I did that there would be no way that I could truly promise not to confide in my husband. "I was unhappy and honestly a bit bored because our sex lives were getting worse and worse. It was his idea to try something non-conventional," she said pausing to see my reaction if I wanted to know more.
It was partly my shock, and my need to understand what she was trying to say that had me instantly utter the words, "So he wanted to see other women?"
"No not at all. He offered me the opportunity to see other men. It was his idea, and I had no idea what a cuckold even was until he told me he had the desire to be one," she said with a very hushed voice.
"What do you mean? He doesn't swing; only you get to swing," I asked trying to understand her situation.
"Yes, a cuckold is the name for a guy that has a wife that gets to...you know...with other guys," she said turning a bright color of red. She continued and explained that they were the type that decided to discuss everything and that at first it was something she was very dead set against. It was his urging that got her to think it might be worth trying if it created some new excitement. Then she confessed how she now had special company once a week for the last 2 months.
I was shocked at her honesty, and how they as a couple could do this. "So you have a different guy every week? Does Jason know about the guys, or do you tell him," I asked trying to hold back my disgust.
"Jason knows both guys, and they are the only guys I see. Even the two guys know about each other, but have never met," she said now trying to bury her large smirk behind a sip of her wine.
