Lee and Lincoln, Mature Follies
We were married quite a while ago and still are. Lincoln and Lee, happy couple with all the normal joys and irritations of a pretty long marriage into middle age. Kids were gone and our careers were doing well as we looked around and asked ourselves from time to time: are we happy?
The answer had always been yes but in the last couple years it had become a qualified "yes."
"Yes," but our intimate life was now plain vanilla, routine, leaving us both with a sense of missing excitement in that area of married life. Middle aged, normal height and weight for each of us with no medical issues. We still enjoyed sex with each other but it seemed so ordinary, so lacking in excitement that we had begun talking about and exploring various ways to add some electricity. Role playing, different outfits, places, etc. but each only lasted one time. We had concluded that it was not sustaining any electricity. Part of the "ordinary" was we had screwed one another so many times there was little left to the imagination, no fantasy, no mysterious "what would happen if." Normal for long time couples they had both eventually concluded without finding a real lasting solution to change that.
That had been the case until Lee had lunch with a girlfriend her age where the two women started discussing the issue as women often do. Her friend privately admitted that she and her husband a couple years before had felt that way but had solved it by joining what she called a "Lifestyle club." When Lee was puzzled about that her friend had told her it was a club that booked two floors of a hotel once a month for private parties in the downtown Richmond area. You joined the club of Lifestyle Friends, signed up ahead of time, paid a fee for each party, booked a room for that Friday night and attended.
They started at 8 pm check-in with a very social hour and a half or so on a public but closed to others floor where drinks and snacks were provided, dancing and socializing happened for about 50 people or 25 couples a night. No singles, only couples. When Lee asked what happened after about ten pm, her friend said they moved to the second floor which had specific rooms for specific activities for the couples who by then if they wanted to had formed friendships with other lifestyle couples for the rest of the night. She told Lee the first time they went they ended up with a slightly younger couple going upstairs, dancing and then spending a few hours alone with one another's spouses in the rooms they had all rented, having exciting, strange sex with people other than their spouses, had breakfast together then left for home, refreshed with tons to talk about in their sex lives.
When I finally heard about it from her I learned that Lee had been mildly shocked and had not said anything about it to me for a week or more. I guess she was mulling it over in her mind. Could she fuck another guy and still stay married? Would another man find her attractive at her age? Was it safe in terms of disease? What would I say? Would I find another woman more attractive and leave her? I found all that out finally one night after a very vanilla fuck when she opened up and told me what her friend said, asked all those questions which I did not have all the answers for but which started a healthy discussion about the Lifestyle and whether it could provide a new and continuing spark in that area of our lives.
We decided to research it further and discuss it a lot which we did over the next several weeks. Our conclusion was that you did not have to do anything at the parties if you did not feel right about it, we could stay married and had both gotten curious about it. The one thing we both wanted was to try it out of town to keep our careers and lives separate for such a unique exploration of sex that neither wanted to take any chance that it might be made public. The result of that exploration was that we had found "Danville Friends" which was a lifestyle club located in Danville, Virginia, a couple hours away and took the plunge, joined.
