As for Carol, she's older than Louise at around my age and taller at about five foot seven. Big busted, but not as big as Maureen, although very full and whatever size bra she wears it has to be a D or double D. Narrow waist and a very flat tummy, which probably can be attributable to the fact she never had any children, and a very prominent full bum. She's extremely attractive with beautiful facial features, luscious full lips and beautiful ice blue eyes. Long blonde hair, which she keeps in a loose bun or a ponytail more often than not. The times I've seen it hanging loose it frames her face beautifully and goes well beyond her shoulders. Pretty legs and feet too, and whenever I see her, she always looks her best. Never anything but, and she's quite the "head turner" for her age. As for her personality, she's usually very outgoing and always has an optimistic attitude by looking at the brighter side of things along with an infectious laugh. She's the kind of person you immediately want to be friends with after meeting her.
In spite of Carol being as pretty as she is, and the only woman I fantasized about other than Maureen during my bi-curious stage until it recently ended, I found myself attracted to Louise for some reason. It puzzled me since I never was in the same way in spite of having been with her numerous times before. She also seemed to be attracted to me as we often caught ourselves looking at one another, and would smile at each other when we did like you would when suddenly caught staring at someone. Louise even blushed slightly a couple of times.
I couldn't figure out why, except because of how petite she is, or because she's younger than me. Or how shy she is, which reminded me of how I was until my later years and became more confident with myself, and my sexuality. I even found myself imagining what she'd look like with no clothes on...and her pretty face between my legs.
As for Carol, as attractive as she is made me wonder why her sex life isn't to her liking. You'd think her husband would be having sex with her whenever possible, or at least being sure she was getting her fair share. Since I didn't know her as well as Maureen, or ever met her husband, I made a mental note to inquire about it after they left.
Once Maureen returned with the ashtray, Carol thanked her before she lit up a long Virginia Slims 120. After taking a deep puff..."As I was going to say before, besides having an extra marital affair there is another alternative to a less than satisfying sex life at home, although some might consider it still one and the same. And for some of us, we've already taken it." After which she looked at Louise and they smiled at each other, and didn't seem bothered by the fact they were all but telegraphing their intimate relationship. "But others are still simply trying to cope with things the best they can, which I'm sure you were able to surmise is not very well from some of the comments made. What I'm suggesting is sharing with them the alternative a few of us have taken, which not so surprisingly, many husbands fantasize about."
When she said "us", I couldn't help but think she was also referring to Maureen and I, but couldn't imagine how she would know. Especially since it was such a recent thing. I also couldn't help but think what some of the other women must be going through with my own recent urge for more sex as a result of starting to go through the change. If it was the same for them, but with a less accommodating and understanding husband, I'd be frustrated too and couldn't help but be sympathetic to their situation.
Last but least, was her comment about husbands fantasizing about their wives having sex with another woman, which is very true for many. Or in my case, my husband giving me his blessing to have sex with another woman if the opportunity ever presented itself. Made me wonder if any of the other wives were also encouraged to do if they so desired.
Carol paused to take another long drag on her cigarette, but before she could continue, Maureen jumped in..."It's obvious what you're going to propose, but I'm not so sure it's appropriate. It's more of a personal choice people need to arrive at on their own. Besides, I don't even know how you would suggest something like it to a group of women. Especially since some will likely be offended. I can only imagine what their reaction will be."
Carol paused for a second before responding as though she expected us to be skeptical..."I thought so too at first, but after talking to Anne and Andrea, I honestly don't think it'll be the case from their reaction. Besides, I wouldn't plan on standing up in front of everyone to propose having Sapphic sex as a way to compensate for their problem at home."
I couldn't help but interrupt her train of thought..."How would you possibly propose it without coming straight out and suggesting it? I can't imagine you'd want to visit with each and everyone privately to discuss it."
"No I don't, and wouldn't Lacey. And as I was going to say, after giving it some thought, a friend of a friend came to mind who sells sex toys like an Avon Lady does cosmetics. She'd be happy to attend one of our socials to sell her products, and according to my friend, who attended one of her in-house presentations, it unintentionally had everyone discussing lesbian sex. Hard not to with some of the sex toys being intended for solely girl on girl use like a double-ended dong."
"I never heard of an in-house sex toy demonstration. Not that it isn't a good idea versus buying one online, and not being happy with it when you get it since it didn't achieve or do very well at what you expected. Plus it beats the embarrassment of going to an adult store or sex boutique to buy something and having every male in the place snickering or leering at you as you did."
"I never did either, but the service does exist, although it's not widely known, which I'm sure you can appreciate why. And as you'd expect, it's always a woman, and a mature woman in this case, who makes the in-house presentation. What she's selling is mainly for use by other women, and they need to be able to explain how it works from first hand knowledge, and what it's for in the case of some of the more unusual toys."
Maureen then asked..."And what does this sales presentation actually entail? With cosmetics they usually let you try them, or give you free samples. They even apply the cosmetics on you. I can't imagine it's the same with sex toys."
"No it's not. Although according to my friend, some women did insist on trying a toy before purchasing one. Discreetly in another room of course. For most, they already know what the toys are for, and having an example in-hand to look at before you buy one is half the battle. But for those that don't, and want some kind of demonstration versus actually trying it, the sales rep can play a variety of DVDs which demonstrates how a particular toy should, or can be used. If it's a smart TV connected to the internet or can access WiFi, she can connect to videos online."
At that point I couldn't resist jumping in again..."I don't know about anyone else, but since I'm in the market for a few new toys, I'd love for this friend of a friend to make a sales call at one of our get-togethers."
Maureen then added..."I'm with Lacey. Even if it's not for the reason you stated, it would be a fun thing to do at one of our socials. Of course we'd have to give everyone some notice as a courtesy for those who wouldn't want to attend such a thing. With that in mind, let's do this. First we need to wait to see what happens at our next get-together relative to your expectation it will be a continuation of the last one. If it turns out to be the case, it'll provide a perfect excuse to announce we'll be inviting the 'Avon Lady' to attend our next one. And when she does, it should provide a means to have a discussion relative to an alternative 'lifestyle' for those who might be interested. If it isn't a continuation as Lacey feels it might not be, we'll use a different approach to have the sex toy presentation. And in such a way as to make it an opportunity for everyone to purchase some new toys more discreetly. Or the first toy for those who never have, but want to.
"Sounds good to me Maureen, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Actually, us getting together like this, turned out better than I expected. You can't believe how relieved I am you two even considered my idea versus thinking it was completely out of line."
"We wouldn't have Carol, especially since your heart seems to be in the right place. But without the unique approach you came up with we might have been reluctant."
"It is in many ways since I know first hand what most are going through. And before I forget, I need to set a tentative date with the sales representative as soon as I get home. She only does her in-house sales calls a couple days a week and is usually booked well in advance." Then after a short pause..."Now while I hate to break up this enlightening and productive time together, it's time for Louise and I to leave you two alone. But before I do, I want to thank you both once again for taking the time to listen to me."
