I'm not sure if "Loving Wives" is the correct category but I decided to keep it with our other two stories. I do love my husband Mark more than anything in the world (I am a "Loving Wife" in that respect) however if you've read them, the first written by Mark and the other by me, you have some idea of who we are and some particular events in our marriage. You also know that I was far from a virgin when I met my husband. I decided to write about my college sexual experiences as a therapeutic exercise. My first two and a half years of college were a very liberating time for me, but they were also very reckless and I consider myself lucky to come out of them in one piece, so to speak. Consider this Part 1.
*****
I am the oldest of two, my brother being four years younger. My father is strict LDS and a Deacon in the church. My mother grew up Catholic but converted when she met my father. She never embraced the LDS religion and she slowly drifted from the Mormon Church and by the time I was in high school she had stopped accompanying my Dad to church. My mom had a multiple masters degrees (engineering and business) and worked outside the home, something the Church doesn't embrace and neither did many of her friends in the Church. My father was not happy about her parting but also knew deep down that it was inevitable. Mom began attending Catholic mass again even though my father felt religiously abandoned, they still loved each other and had a strong relationship.
As I grew into my teenage years, I too felt constricted by the LDS community. While LDS girls are encouraged to get a degree (from BYU specifically) they are discouraged from working or pursuing a graduate degree once they are married, which usually happens at an early age. At that time the expectation, stated or otherwise, is that they become a wife and mother exclusively.
While I have no problem with that, and have a great deal of respect for the family values of the Church, my mother was convinced I was destined for something else. So was I. School grades came easy to me. My only B in high school came in a pottery class in which everything I attempted collapsed when it came out of the kiln. I was also a star athlete. I experienced the strength and confidence that my mother exuded from her own career and never felt that she loved her family less because of it. I felt that we were a stronger family with her outside interests and career. I know my father agreed, after all he married her when she was well established in her career and she had made it clear that putting it aside was non-negotiable. My brother and I grew up in a very loving, albeit religiously divided family and we are both the better for it. That being said, if you knew me in my first two years of college you probably wouldn't think so.
By the time I was in high school I had completely moved away from the LDS community and started attending church with my mother. I had the same boyfriend throughout my junior and senior years. His name was Brian and was a good LDS boy. He was the football QB as well as a baseball player who didn't drink or smoke, and didn't get into any trouble at all. He never pushed our physical relationship past a periodic make-out session.
My father kept strict control over me. I never was allowed to attend a sleepover or slumber party unless it was in the Church (LDS specifically). Sex was a taboo subject in with him, in fact I think my brother and I felt the actual word "sex" was a dirty word. I think my father thought that if he ignored it completely and never mentioned it around us, that any thoughts of it would also never occur to my brother and I.
While I can't speak for my brother, Dad's tactic ended up backfiring on me. I received my sex education by hanging out at a friend's home during the Spring of my senior year. Her name was Liz and she had been my tennis doubles partner. Her step-mother, Trisha was only 8 years older and the three of us often spent many afternoons at their house after track practice speaking freely of sex. Liz was sexually active and I found it deliciously awkward that Trisha had no problems talking about "fucking" Liz's dad in front of Liz. I found out one day that Liz's dad also had no problem talking about sex when he came home early from work and joined in a the conversation with me, his wife and his daughter about the joys of oral sex. It was as casual as if we were talking about baseball or tennis. This was a much different family than my own!
I could vent my sexual frustrations to Liz and Trisha and my common theme was that waiting for marriage, as both of my churches taught, didn't seem realistic for me. Trisha had been, in her own words, a college slut and had no regrets about it. This greatly intrigued me. Liz had had a couple of boyfriends and admitted to a one night stand after a pool party. I was jealous - getting Brian's tongue in my mouth was pushing the envelope for us. I loved those afternoon conversations and they ultimately prepared me for my total college experience as much as any of my high school academics.
One day a maintenance man was at Liz's house doing some work. My body tingled as I seriously considered jumping him and taking him into Liz's bedroom. Liz and Trisha talked me out of it because he was married. Fearing that I was so out of control and that I would do something rash, Trisha, this older woman of 26 gave me the best gift I could ever receive. She went to the dishwasher, opened it and on the bottom rack amongst the plates, pulled out an 9 inch dildo.
"It's yours," she said laughing. "You're going to rape some poor guy otherwise."
"What do I do with it?"
"I think you know." Liz and Trisha laughed hysterically.
I went home and hid it in a vent in my closet. They were correct, I knew exactly how to use it and did as much as I could get away with for the rest of my high school days. My mom found it one day and just laughed and gave me a knowing smile. She was not in sexual denial like my father and to be fair, she did take me aside on occasion and checked in with me on the subject. I was fairly certain that she was not a virgin when she married my father which was confirmed after she and I consumed a couple of bottles of wine after my first visit home from college.
After senior prom, Brian and I ended up in his parents' basement rec room alone. We had been engaging in our regular make-out session for a half an hour when I got bored and let my pent up sexual aggressions got the better of me. To his complete surprise I yanked down the top of my strapless dress and at the same time grabbed his hand and before he knew what was happening I pressed it to my left tit. With my other hand I began rubbing his erect cock through his tuxedo pants as I shoved my tongue deeper down his throat.
He froze, but didn't do a thing for about 30 seconds. We just continued to rub each other and kiss. I thought I might actually finally be getting the real thing! Unfortunately for me, he pulled away, and even though I know he had been enjoying it immensely, his morals got the best of him and he announced that it was time to take me home. I protested and reminded him that at 18, we were both consenting adults but he could not betray his values.
