My apologies, I initial screwed up the publication of this story, This is the edited and I hope slightly improved version. It is a very short story, part fantasy but almost entirely the truth, I'll leave you to work out the fact from the fiction.
Told by a dyslexic in UK English.
I'm Jim Plunger, I'd been married to my wife for 27 years when the events of this story happened, and as you might have guessed things were a little stale in the bedroom. I was in my early fifties; she was just turned 50 had been through the menopause and sex was not the priority it had once been for her.
We married when I was 27, half the age I was when this event happened. She had just turned 24 when we married. At that stage we'd been together for almost 2 years, engaged after just 4 months. I knew a good thing when I saw it, so did she, Jane told me that many years later that she knew just as quickly as I did.
We'd fucked each other from our second date, our personal record was seven times one evening when she stayed in my apartment overnight and well into the next morning when we stopped for brunch. Neither of us could get enough of the other.
She never lost any attraction to me, she sometimes put herself down, but I was as turned on by her then, 27 years later, as I was before we were married. Children, as they do, are the greatest contraceptive known to man, our "opportunities" became scarcer and scarcer as the inquisitive little creatures grew up.
I had gone through something I think many, if not all men do, the feeling that you have slipped down the rankings of importance to your wife, from first to third behind the kids. Maybe it's natural, I know it can get disconcerting when you are not getting what you need in the bedroom, it was for me.
Anyway, one Saturday some years back, when the kids were away doing different things at the weekend; I got back from early Saturday golf at around 1pm.
I had played well, and my mood was good. I said to Jane, I'd make us some lunch, then added, "Would you like some Super Sex?"
She looked at me as if that was a strange thing to say and said, "I thought we were having lunch?"
"OK, so you want the soup?" Again, she looked confused, so I told her, "Sorry it's just a joke, a play on words, I say, 'soup or sex" but it sounds like "Super Sex", Yeah, OK I know it's really not funny."
But it became funny to us, we often revisited it and many times over the years I asked her if she wanted Super Sex and almost always, she said, I'll have the soup please, but just occasionally she'd say, yes please and we'd go to bed.
So, in our early fifties, I asked again, "Would you like Super Sex?", this time she answered differently from ever before.
"Jim, I know you always hope that when you ask that I'll take you to bed. I have to tell you that in the last year or so, I'm sorry but I've really lost my desire for sex. I know you are still a horny old goat, and you want it as much as ever. It makes me feel I'm letting you down by not showing any sexual desire and I know you; you can read me so well; you know when I'm not really into it and I know that makes sex hard for you to enjoy."
She was right, I'm not trying to appeal to the women readers as being saintly, but what turns me on most in sex is my partner being beside herself with sexual tension and coming hard. Having sex with someone dialling it in from Planet I Don't Give a Fuck leaves me cold, stone cold. I want to know that I'm getting the woman off.
"Jim, you are going to be shocked, but I have an idea."
"Go on."
"How would it be if I gave you permission to have sex with someone, I know you will like her, but someone that I don't think you would ever fall in love with? It's someone I trust not to try to steal you away from me."
I was shocked but instantly I knew who she was talking about, or at least I was pretty sure I knew who she was suggesting, and it was very appealing.
"Go on." I repeated.
"You know Lesley, who works with me, her husband died last October in that horrible crash?" I nodded yes, "Well, I know she is nowhere near ready to get into a relationship, she has those two young kids, its hard being a single mum, but she tells me she really misses sex. Would you be interested in being her fuckbuddy for a while?"
"Are you serious Jane, you would be ok -- I'll not say happy -- for me to have sex with another Lesley? Really? This isn't a trick to divorce me?"
"No trick Jim, and yes, actually Jim, you being happy and Lesley being happy would actually make me very happy too. You are my favourite person, and she is not too far behind. I'm so sorry for her. Just as long as I can be certain this will not fuck up my marriage. Would you like me to talk to her?"
"Jane, I think Lesley is a very beautiful woman, I doubt she would be interested in me but if you are sure you can tolerate it and she is interested, then I'm happy to see where this goes. Thank you darling, I just want you to know how special you are, have always been to me and always will be, I am a very lucky man. You must be one on a million; I cannot imagine any of my friends' wives making this offer."
"I'll talk to her this week Jim."
