Hi. My name is Rick. I've been married to my wife Marie for almost 22 years. Over the years, like any married couple, we have had our ups and downs, but one of the downs has finally come to a boiling point - my weight. As a result, I'm celibate till at LEAST next Friday. Please allow me to explain.
When Marie and I married, I was almost 24 and she was almost 23. I was 5'9", 178 pounds, and she was 5'8", 110 pounds. I was very active in sports (competitive racquetball and softball), and stayed in shape fairly easily.
We were married almost 10 years before the first of our two sons were born. Eight months later, along came the second. Now before you ladies start thinking I'm a TOTAL pig - our children are adopted, and an incredible blessing.
At first, being a father had no negative impact on my weight. The gym had a child care center, after all. But when the oldest turned five (seven years ago), things began to change. I became a COACH, and my waistline has never been the same.
I began coaching baseball and football and later added basketball. I love coaching, and enjoy the time spent with not only my boys, but other peoples' children. I also started my own business about three years ago (great timing - thank you, recession), and I work or coach exceptionally late. My weekends are eaten up with church and games (we had three basketball games and a baseball practice today). Also, because of practice, we often do not eat dinner until 8:00 PM or later. The end result? Marie is a stunning 44 year-old (and she does nothing more than walk the dogs), weighing 120 pounds. I am a disgusting 45 year -old, tipping the scales at a HORRIFYING 252 pounds.
Needless to say, Marie's enthusiasm in bed has waned as my waistline has expanded. Unfortunately, she is an amazing lover, so my appetites for her have increased over the years. Therein lies the rub.
I had had enough of a diminishing sex life, so I talked with Marie about it the other day. I asked her what it would take for our sex life to improve, and she looked me dead in the eye and said, "You losing 50 pounds." I thought about it, and we talked some more. The result, the challenge you will see unfolding in this blog space. I will update this page weekly, after my weigh in.
We have established a set of rules, and a point and reward system. Read on, ladies, and maybe YOUR husband will fall in line later. Wade through it and your hubby might lose the lard!
The Rules
1. Marie may do whatever she wants for herself sexually, whenever she wants, without my attempting to make her feel bad about it in any way (hey a dildo is better for our marriage than a boyfriend). My involvement is at her discretion. No pain or other people are the ONLY exceptions.
2. If I try to properly redeem points (the points system is listed below), she may downgrade the request at her discretion, except on Saturday night.
3. If I ask for a level 1-3 reward, I must follow through with it, regardless of whether it has been downgraded (Thank you to the article, "The Perfect Handjob" on Literotica.com).
4. "Payday" is Friday. Points will be tallied, and only THOSE points will be available until the following Friday.
5. Any unused points go into a savings account for envelopes. They may NOT be forwarded to the next week.
6. Three envelopes will be available, redeemable with 600, 800 or 1000 savings points each. Only Marie will know the contents.
7. Marie may award bonus points - at her discretion.
8. Unauthorized activity (such as masturbation) will be charged as a level 7 reward.
9. If level 7 points are not available that week, the negative balance WILL carry forward to the next week.
10. The rules may be adjusted from time to time, with any inequities being resolved in Marie's favor.
