Last time my Mary and I had sex it was an uninspiring encounter. I was already in bed when she came in and, facing away from me, removed her dress. She unclipped her bra and turned my direction to pull the covers down. Her beautiful pendulous breasts were all I could focus on as she shimmied under the modesty provided by the blankets, and slipped off her panties. We talked briefly, I caressed her breasts, and then focused attention on her clitoris. She always required artificial lubrication, which I retrieved from the bedside drawer and applied to her warm nub, and she eventually climbed aboard, slipping my cock gingerly into her tight pussy.
It didn't take long before I came inside her, and she immediately rolled off me, job done. I leaned towards her, moved my hand down to her warm, lubricated mound, and used my thumb to slip over her clit. A couple of minutes later, while I pondered the evening's TV and she—I suspected—imagined someone, anyone, that wasn't me tensed and quietly came. We politely thanked each other, and would have shook hands if that wouldn't have pushed the awkwardness to 11. But our duty was done; I would not get frustrated for a few weeks, maybe longer. She'd never mention it again if I didn't, I figured.
Maybe we were both wrong about each other but didn't have the words or methods to find out for sure.

Mary met Lisa at the gym, discovered she lived close by, and that they shared other similar interests. So Lisa came over for dinner a few times. She was single, late 30s, full-figured, and attractive. We'd sit around drinking wine, discussing the news stories of the day, and then maybe throwing in a few cocktails as the conversation loosened up.
On her first visit, Lisa threw out a casual aside: were Mary and I swingers? It was easy to miss her mention as she really tossed it in quietly, but it gave me an idea of where her head may be. Not that she was particularly prying, and I suspected if I'd chosen to answer "yes" she'd have bolted for the door. She was just testing the water a little, but the inquiry went unanswered and was washed away with the next sip of wine.
Of course, we weren't swingers. Mary's most outrageous sexual encounters were way in her past, referenced only occasionally about previous boyfriends and a couple of experiences she'd tried and not liked, so they never would become part of our bedroom activities. It was clear our current sex life was pedestrian. A few too-honest observations drawling out of my cocktail-lubricated mouth during an attempt at intimacy some weeks ago essentially turned off even our limited repertoire. We were best of friends as always, but we now existed in the sexless zone.
Lisa talked surprisingly candidly about her experiences dating as a mid-thirtysomething professional woman. Apparently most mid-30s males in the dating pool were using pharmaceuticals to guarantee or to enhance their performance. That was a shock. Though I'm older than them, I've never had to turn to the little blue pill; "well, good for you two," Lisa said with a coy smile in response.
She told a story of a first date where the gentleman was courteous and interesting, and Lisa commented that she "didn't expect to go home" that night. First date! She clearly had a sexual appetite that maybe wasn't being served.
Dinner at her house with Mary would still no doubt be a relaxed affair, a couple bottles, and the usual conversation.

Lisa answered the door wearing a string-strapped black dress, its lacy bodice tightly wrapping her womanly figure. She had fixed her dark blonde hair and make-up, which was a surprise given the sweat pants and sweatshirt worn at our last meeting. We went inside and exchanged the usual pleasantries.
The dinner table was set elaborately with two short candles adding a low-light ambience. We opened the wine and carried on the small-talk: the work week, who'd seen who, what happened to so-and-so, the usual. It was pleasant enough, and dinner was good. We kicked back with the wine, settling in for the chatter.
"You dressed nicely," Mary said to Lisa, "so I'm glad I got him to clean up. Got him to put on long pants."
Everyone chuckled. Usually I'm in shorts, so no big deal.
"And even underwear," she added.
"Oh, you didn't have to do that for me...be as free as you like," Lisa replied, looking me straight in the eyes, a sexy grin spreading across her face.
Even Mary grinned. Maybe the effects of the vino were relaxing her a little on this weekend night.
"Oh, it's funny," Mary surprisingly continued, "he rarely wears underwear at home, wanders around in his boxers, swinging in the wind if the fly opens."
I start to feel the flush of a blush coming on. While not inaccurate, I always just wanted to be comfortable at home. Lisa laughed, watching me. "Well, if you want to make yourself comfortable here, don't mind me, you can hang out in your boxers. It must be a nice sight for you," she added, looking straight at Mary.
"Well, it's not bad, but, you know, you know how it is."
Lisa's eyes lit up for a second and she adjusted the straps of her dress, shaking her ample breasts a little. Maybe she wasn't even wearing a strapless bra, but was relying on her own natural shape. "You have to keep it interesting, though, don't you?" she asked, "make sure there's no reason to look elsewhere?"
It was all non-specific chatter around a subject that was clearly unnerving Mary, but was positively exploitative by Lisa.
Mary took a deep breath and obviously changed the topic: "Any dates, any prospects, any success?"
Lisa pondered for a moment. "Okay," she said, "can I tell you about Joe, without you judging me?" We both nodded, me in anticipation, Mary likely in trepidation.
"We hit the third date mark," she started, "so we all know the expectations for people in our position, and I was ready to find out. I mean, he was okay, a big guy, I just hoped he was big everywhere. But OH. MY. GOD. He was SO HAIRY." Her voice raised precipitously. "I mean, y'know, down there! I was worried if I put my mouth anywhere near it I'd cough up a hairball."
Wow. We all laughed, partly in shock at the explicitness of the statement, and also at the social commentary.
"Well," Mary butted in, "wouldn't need to worry about that with him" - she nodded her head my direction - "as he keeps very trim. I mean, it makes me think I might be looking at a 10-year old, and that bothers me."
"Bullshit," Lisa blurted out sternly, "you're at best looking for an excuse not to suck his cock, but you can't hide behind some fake notion it makes it, y'know, unsavory. If he likes it shaved you should appreciate that you won't be pulling hairs from your tongue or between your teeth. If you don't want to suck his cock, just say it; this sounds like some lame excuse."
I couldn't believe it. The temperature dipped noticeably, and Lisa's commentary hung in the newly cold air. Mary looked at me, looked at Lisa, then looked at her wine glass. "It's just what I think," she awkwardly replied.
"Let's have a drink," said Lisa, breaking the awkwardness by grabbing a bottle of scotch and quickly filling three glasses. We sipped in silence.
Lisa gulped down the last shot of her glass and refilled hers, then mine, and then, with a steely look at Mary that forced her to make her glass available, filled them all. I had an idea where this was going. Lisa clearly knew what she was doing. Mary was processing but probably preparing to fight against whatever it was.
