-------------------------
The match was over and now, after all the beer and snacks it was time for sex!
Bernard watched his wife enter the room and felt a feeling of emotionlessness boredom. Even though she had spent all of the second half of the match preparing for this, he was really just not interested.
Not at all...
Sex had become a duty, just an bore to Bernard!
All he wanted was to go to bed and sleep. Sleep until late on Sunday morning.
Of course there had been a good time! Years ago, when it was all they could do to keep each other's hands from touching each other's flesh in public. Those days when he had fucked her for half an hour before he finally allowed himself to climax as she writhed under his pumping prick and screamed blue murder before he drove deep and pinned her struggling form on the bed.
But those days were gone...
So, it was with a feeling of disinterest that he followed her to the bedroom to perform his duty. Mary was dressed to kill. Stockings and corset, handcuffs dangled from her waist and the heels were so high that she could only wear them in bed.
"Come on darling, let's do something different..."
'How often it had started with those words,' he thought, 'and how often it had ended with a squib as he lay on her and did his duty.'
With a bored glance at her, he undressed and threw his clothes in an untidy heap on the floor. His lack of interest showing in the flaccid state of his cock.
"I just want to put some spice into our lives. I want so much, I need so much," she pleaded. "I want you to suck my pussy and ass, I want to writhe and climax like a train. I want to be fucked and tied. I want you to be helpless at my feet, I want you to come in a fountain that stains the ceiling."
"We have never done any of that..."
"I know, Bernard, and that's why I want it so badly! Our sex was always so straight, so direct," she said as she ran her hand to his prick. "It was great in our twenties, OK in our thirties, but in our forties I want to go somewhere, develop, grow and experience all that lust again!"
He looked down and saw her hand cupping his balls. He saw the soft cock fall to point at the carpet. Bernard could not, would not and did not get an erection.
Tears came to her eyes and she wiped her gloved hand over the drops, making the makeup smear and change from erotic bitch to smeared grey in the candle light.
"Is this how it's going to be?" she said as she stopped herself sobbing. "Is football, the pub and the occasional holiday in Cornwall going to be how we pass our time?"
Bernard grimaced and slipped into bed.
"I really am not in the mood for this conversation," he said.
"You are never in the mood! All you ever do is avoid the discussion. I want to find the problem. Is it me? Am I just no longer a turn on? What has happened to the nine inches of cock that you used to push into me? Where has it gone?"
A soft snort came from Bernard and she realised that he had actually drifted off to sleep as she had spoken. The ultimate disrespect, the definitive show of complete and utter indifference.
With a sigh Mary wiped the last tear from her cheek and left the bedroom. Her heels clicked on the floor, her hips swayed and her large breasts swung, but she was alone. There was no man to beguile, no husband to lure, no lover to cheat with. As far as sex was concerned, Mary was all alone with her thoughts, lusts and desires.
She switched on the computer and waited while the screen lit her with an eerie glow. This was it then! Sex sites full of delicious men and women who enjoyed their lusts twenty four hours a day at the beckoning call of the mouse.
She logged on and surfed.
Her left hand between her thighs and her right controlling her passage from one site to the next as she gorged on fantasy and was exposed to all the things that she desired, without ever becoming a participant.
Exposed, tempted and excited.
Contaminated and corrupted.
But debased on her own as her own fingers ploghed her furrow..
Stage Fright.
-------------------------
The theatre was crowded, every seat taken with an expectant public who had paid to enjoy a show which promised to be sheer amusement at the expense of others!
Mary and Bernard sat in the front row, looking up at a stage that was at eye level. The curtain was down and the audience was settling down, mumbling, muttering and still sliding into their seats.
"This should be good," said Bernard with a whisper. "It's such fun to watch this sort of stuff! All these idiots making fools of themselves for our amusement."
Mary snorted at his rather boorish comment: "I really don't why I came with you tonight, I hate all this rather childish hypnotism stuff, it's all a sham anyway! I should have gone to Evelyn's, she's more entertaining."
"Your best friend Evelyn is poison," mumbled Bernard under his breath. "I hate the bitch!"
Mary only caught the words 'friend' and 'bitch' properly. Then she figured what he had said and her lips pulled into a tight line. He would regret that! She would make him pay for saying that about the friend that she loved so much.
Mary thought back to the times long before she met Bernard, the times when the first fumbles in the dark had been with Evelyn as they discovered sex together without the insistent pressure of some boy, with hands down knickers and kisses that felt so wrong and so delightful as they climaxed in each other's arms. Evelyn was a sort of 'first love' for Mary, a reference point on the road to adulthood and a simple time that she longed to return to.
The music started, the lights dimmed.
A brassy fanfare.
The curtain raised and the show began.
Michael Bowswill came onto the stage and bowed. After a few of his rather blasΓ© comments and a few weak one liners, Mary switched off and took a sly look at the man beside her. Not Bernard but the hunk on her right.
Bernard seemed entranced with the whole show thing, his mouth was open slightly and he laughed at every one of the weak jokes that were the introduction to a show that promised to be so banal that she could not help but suppress a yawn.
'Whatever happened to the intelligent, forceful man that I married,' she thought. 'He's become nothing more than a sad couch potato.... Shit! I should have stuck with Evelyn, at least she knew how to make a girl shiver and orgasm with a yell!' Mary suppressed a giggle at that thought and started to think about all the fun that first-sex had been.
With her thought running in that vein for five minutes she jumped when the woman behind her tapped her on the shoulder. Suddenly she realised that Michael Bowswill had invited her and Bernard to come onto the stage!
For a moment she hesitated as the audience laughed at her discomfiture. Bernard stood and took her hand and in a daze she followed him onto the stage.
"Front row seats are always dangerous," said the hypnotist with a sly laugh as the couple came self-consciously onto the stage and introduced themselves.
When he found out that Bernard owned a large plumbing and hydraulics company he raised a few toilet laughs before he turned to Mary.
"So, Mary, what is the most irritating thing about your husband?"
For a moment she was so tempted to say that he was a complete bore in bed, a limp uninspired lover with no imagination and no taste for the exotic. With all the audience and Bernard waiting she simply said, "Bernard smokes!"
The hypnotist laughed as though this was the funniest thing in the world and turned to ask Bernard the same question.
Bernard smirked and said; "Mary doesn't smoke!"
The audience thought that this was a very funny riposte and took a moment to stop clapping and laughing.
"Then let's see what I can do!" said Michael with a flourish.
This was the real meat of the show. Audience members were chosen at random from the first two rows and then hypnotised, humiliated or perhaps cured of some character defect or addiction. Smoking, overeating and suchlike. With a flourish Michael pulled a gold coin from his pocket. He decided that Bernard was more susceptible to the induction and began his little routine to pull him into that trance like state where he would be almost unconscious.
