Hi.
For all would-be’s out there, I’d like to raise a note of caution.
My wife and I went through a brief spell when we dipped our toes into the waters of sharing. This has been displayed in my first post on this site. Our ‘dabbles’ ran their natural course and came to an end when we moved away from our third party. A few visits took place, but I think we all knew that whatever we had, had run it’s course.
I’m sure that some of you have experienced this and have come to terms with reality. Sadly, I didn’t, and it took some bad times to recognise the fact that my best friend wasn’t next-door anymore.
I tried to encourage C (my wife), to continue with someone else, but we had trusted J and now that we were in a new area it wasn’t going to be easy to establish a strong, trusted connection with anyone anytime soon. My wife is not of the sluttish disposition. Not a party animal. We had 2 school-aged children to consider as well. I didn’t have the patience I should have had, unfortunately.
I’d been a musician since I was about 11 years old (I’m in my early 70’s now, and retired from it just 2 years ago), and so one of my first priorities was to circulate on the local music scene, find out who was who, and make some connections. I fell in with a local band and things were going swimmingly. Plenty of work, decent gigs, etc. I got on well with the bass player of this band - we’ll call him B - and we started to see each-other in a social setting… drinks, meals out, cinema… the usual. He had a girlfriend and the 4 of us hit it off. At this time I wasn’t really attracted to his girlfriend (we’ll call her T), but she was nice enough, still at university, and a little bookish. We all attended the odd party together, & C & I looked the other way when they stepped out for a short ‘toke’ (not our thing).
Time passed, the band dissolved - as many bands do when they’ve run their course - but we remained friends. We’re talking about around ’79/’80. One Saturday evening they came over (our kids were camping with friends + adult supervision), and we did a few bottles of wine, had some nibbles and sat around chatting. One of my kids had left out some silly board game and we decided to play a few rounds (can’t remember what it was). I lost a round & T said I’d have to give up an item of clothing. i called her bluff & took my shirt off. B lost a round, he took his shoes off. Of course, you know where this is going, don’t you… Eventually we were all sitting around naked (have to say, it gave me quite a rush to see C naked in front of other people). We all had a good laugh & that was that.
When the circumstances were right (and NEVER with the kids in the house), our ‘games’ took place and although they got quite risqué sometimes, they never went over the edge. But I’d like them to have. I was out with B on a ‘boys’ night & he got a little stoned & told me he’d fantasized about a threesome with T & C. I said he was welcome. Enjoy. He said “No, because I’d have to let you do the same, & I couldn’t stand the thought of T having sex with someone else”. I told him that I understood, but that I had no sexual interest in T, and that he was safe as far as that goes. Now I was determined to arrange a threesome with the others. It was a challenge. I wanted to watch, but not take part.
Bad move. Things soured.
T was completely in the dark, C was aware but apprehensive, and B was suddenly always unavailable for any kind of contact with me. T often called on C for coffee & they sometimes had a ‘girls’ night out. But B was in the wind.
I tried to suggest to C the possibility of hooking up with a suitable male, but she said we’d done that & it was time to move on. So I mentioned a threesome with T - by way of a change. And that pretty much blew a hole in our marriage. I just pushed too hard, too soon. Our relationship limped along, but the spark had gone. We argued over silly, mundane things. Both got selfish in our demands, and started sleeping apart. Worse still, the atmosphere was starting to affect the kids. Only one answer… Daddy had to go.
I found a flat about half a mile from the family home where I could be on-hand in emergencies or baby-sit without having to walk too far home. It was a shock to our friends & family, but these things happen. One afternoon i got a visit from T, and she was furious. She told me that she’d just come from C and they’d had a heart to heart about some of the reasons for our split. She really lay into me. C had told her about our time with J, and that I was trying to engineer a threesome with C & her. The air was pretty blue. I didn’t deny anything. I said I was wrong. i said I was unfit to call myself C’s husband, and I didn’t deserve her, but I can’t help having these desires. I try to push them away but they haunt me in my dreams. She asked me what it was I really wanted… and the flood-gates opened. I poured the whole lot out. We spent about 2 hours discussing it. And she offered me a deal.
She told me that B was pretty vanilla in their sex life. Just a twice a week “wham-bam-thank-you-maam”, but she wanted a little more adventure. B must NEVER know, nor C, but she’d do anything (and I mean ANYTHING) for me, sexually, if I’d help realize her fantasies.
So, that’s what we did.
No, this isn’t from my imagination. Not something I’ve dreamed up. Over 8 months this actually happened.
I’ll write the continuation in a few days.
