Whenever I, Dale Curtain, read stories on porn sites, or real life situations reported in sensational press accounts, about a husband or wife being clueless about their spouse's extracurricular activities I snicker to myself. "They must be the least observant people in the world, or simply don't care," I would always say to myself, sometimes laughing out loud and causing my wife Haley to ask "What's so funny Dale?" My standard response is "Life and people are strange," but I never told her what the subject of the story or article was. If she inquired further I made something up like "Some guy invented vacuum shoes and he got stuck on his roof for five hours," or "some anthropologists say that Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian," or "a guy who was moving called a tree service to place his cat with since they had 'Cat Rescue' as one of their services on their website," all either made up or some trivia that I learned long ago. I was never sure why I didn't tell her the real reason why I was laughing.
Haley and I met in college and got married shortly after I got my MBA and she graduated undergraduate school with a degree in finance. It was basically a standard courtship except for one thing -- as soon as we got serious she told me that she never wanted to have kids.
"Why?" I asked.
"First of all I don't really like kids, secondly they ravage your body, and third I enjoy the freedom to do what I want without being tied down to them," she replied.
I made all of the arguments about why kids are great, how they enrich your life, yada, yada, yada, but that had no effect on her. I had to make a decision then to give up my plan to have two or three little rug rats and devote myself to Haley, or breakup right then. Since I really enjoyed Haley's company and since she was a sexual dynamo, I eventually chose her.
Choosing Haley was not without problems, however; she was so scared of accidentally getting pregnant for a while we used several forms of birth control because she (and her entire family) was as anti-abortion as she was anti-kid -- go figure! Finally, just before we got married she found a birth control pill that she called "Rollo" that was supposedly 100% effective, and had no side effects for her, so from then on we only relied on the Rollo pills and we were as sexually satisfied as bonobos.
***********
When Haley turned 30 she suddenly decided that she needed to be in better shape; I thought that she was already in great shape, and certainly not more than a couple of pounds over her wedding day weight, but she started a rigorous exercise program. She went to the gym on Monday and Wednesday at noon, ran Friday morning, and went to the gym again on Saturday morning. She was as regular as clockwork unless she or both of us were out of town. I sometimes went with her to the gym on Saturday morning and found it a pleasant experience.
One side effect of her exercise regime was that her libido -- which had been normal since I met her -- increased significantly, as well as her energy when we were fucking or making love (which we naturally seemed to alternate between). Obviously I had NO complaints with that since my libido had usually been slightly higher than hers before she began her exercise regime. My sex life was great.
About three months into her exercise regime her 31st birthday was coming up and since she didn't like surprises I asked her what she wanted. Her answer surprised me.
"I want to install a douche valve kit in our master bathroom shower stall," she smiled.
"What the fuck?" was my surprised -- not angry -- response because I had never heard of a "douche valve kit" before.
Haley carefully explained to me that more and more she liked having a clean pussy and that normal showers just didn't do it for her, and buying one-time use douche bottles or bags was wasteful and unpleasant, and she sometimes forgot about them. Since she showered every day she wouldn't forget to douche if there were a douche valve in the shower stall and it would be easier. "Plus, you really like eating my pussy, don't you Dale, and if it's nice and clean you'd eat it even more, which would make me happier, and then make you happier, and so on, and so on," she cackled.
Anxious to please -- and yeah, I did like eating her pussy -- I asked her what specifically she was interested in. Not surprisingly an advertisement attached to an email from haleycurtian@... just "happened" to appear in my folder the next day.
The only thing about the ad that surprised me was the cost; it obviously was a high class unit, but it also needed to be installed by a plumber (I'm handy around the house but do NOT do electrical or plumbing -- too much of a chance for a disaster). The high class unit alone cost $520, and by calling and negotiating a deal with our normal plumber it still cost $275 for installation. Having Haley happy was worth it, though.
I had the plumber do the installation two days before her birthday when she was at work and I took a morning off to be at the house, so it was ready when she got home. She was thrilled, and after she used it that night before she came to bed she put a little strawberry syrup on the insides of her pussy lips, spread her legs as she lay on our bed naked, and gave me a come-hither smile and wag of her finger.
That night was the best male-on-female oral of both of our lives; she came twice with the power of a stick of dynamite. When I fucked her afterward my dick felt like it was porn star big and hard (just an illusion, but so what) and our synchronous orgasms were so powerful that it was the first time in our experience that we both blacked out for a short period of time.
As we fell asleep with her head on my shoulder and she mumbled "I love you," before I transitioned to dreamland the last thought to cross my mind was "So what if the douche valve it cost almost $800 -- this night alone was worth ten times that!"
**************
The only way that I can rationalize my lack of observancy over the next several months is to concede that my brain wasn't functioning normally because of the all-time great sex with Haley. After the first few nights Haley used her douche valve attachment only after we had sex, whether it be the next morning or if we had sex in the middle of the day after that. Her gynecologist told her that it was not good to overuse it, and since after the first few times she really only wanted to use it to clean out seminal fluid, she restricted herself to that.
Normally Haley would get up early on Friday, give me a kiss and make sure that I was up, do her run, get ready for work, and then go in herself. She usually had a long run and I get ready quickly because I don't eat breakfast and I'm wide awake as soon as I pop out of bed, so I was never home when she got back from her run. On a Friday about two-three months after we had the douche valve kit installed, however, I had an overseas call that would probably last a long time, so I decided to just do it from home.
The overseas call -- and then follow-ups with other people in my company at various locations -- took a long time. I believe it was well over two hours before I was finished and just as I started to walk through the kitchen to my car Haley came into the kitchen from our side door. She was really surprised to see me. "Dale, why are you still here?"
