As I looked down at the frosted mug of beer in front of me I shook my head slowly. It has been six months since this all started and I just needed to have some time to reflect on all that has happened.
It all started on a Tuesday last April when John Meyer came into my office and asked me if I wanted to stop and have a beer with him after work. I said that I would and arranged to meet him at the bar across the street at five o’clock. I like John and enjoy having a drink with him from time to time but I usually get a little tired of listening to his stories about his sex life, but that night his sex life is exactly what I wanted to talk to him about.
John doesn’t really tell stories. He just lets you know how often he has sex. By my calculations he and his wife still have sex at least five times a week after four years of marriage. I had difficulty believing him given that my wife Jan and I were down to twice a week at the end of our second year of marriage and now, after seven years of marriage seldom have sex more than once a week. The reason I wanted to talk to John about his sex life is that I recently read a survey in a magazine that indicated that many couples engage in sex two or more times a week even after ten years of marriage. This made me think that John may be telling the truth and that possibly Jan and I have a problem.
John was already sitting in the bar when I arrived. We talked about work for a while then went on to sports. Finally he mentioned the great time he and his wife Terry had in bed the night before. I took this opportunity to jump in with both feet. “John, how often do you and Terry have sex?”
John said, “Oh hell, we must get it on at least five or six times a week. I realize that’s more often than most couples but we both enjoy sex very much and when you find an interest you have in common with your wife you should do it together as often as you can.”
We both laughed at that, then I asked, “Do you think having sex only once a week would be unusual?”
“Of course it is. When I’m dead I expect to still have sex at least twice a week.”
“Come on. I’m serious.”
John looked at me and asked, “Is it that bad. Once a week? Do you think Jan is getting satisfaction elsewhere?”
“No! Jan’s not cheating. It’s just that sex has never been that important to her. Our sex has always been the same, starting with kissing then a little touchy feely then missionary position. I would love to do other things with her but Jan was brought up in a very strict catholic family and was taught that good girls don’t do things like that.”
“Jesus George! Have you ever talked to Jan about this?”
“No.”
“Damn man, you have to do something or one of you will end up having an affair and there goes the perfect marriage.”
“I guess your right but I don’t know how to bring the subject up. If I bring it up and she refuses to discuss the subject I don’t know how I would handle that.”
“Okay George, here’s an idea. Take home an X-rated video then before you turn the video on loosen Jan up with some wine and smoke some grass. That way you will both be very relaxed and you can talk about what you’re seeing on the screen and suggest that you might like trying some of those things in bed. If she is slightly stoned she’ll be more amenable to the idea and if she isn’t she probably won’t get to upset and you can try her again another time.”
“I don’t know. I’m not sure if that would work with her.”
“You won’t know if you don’t try.”
“Where would I get grass? I haven’t smoked since college.”
“George ole buddy, I will give you the grass to help you save your sex life. Any sacrifice for the cause.”
I told John I would have to think about it some more, and then I changed the subject back to sports.
As I drove home I was thinking about Jan. We met during our junior year of college and fell in love immediately. Jan is a tall brunette, about five feet nine inches, with a slim waist and what I consider to be extremely beautiful breasts. Her dark brown eyes are very expressive. I can tell a lot about the way Jan is feeling or what she is thinking just by looking into her eyes. Aside from our slow moving sex life I think I love Jan as much now as I ever have. I certainly didn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize our marriage or by the same token not do anything and have that cause problems for us. That evening I though a lot about what John had suggested.
When I got home Jan had dinner on the table and right after dinner Jan went next door to Sue Johnson’s house. Sue and Dave Johnson have been living next to us for the last four years and have become our closest friends. Jan and Sue were working on a committee for a community wide yard sale and they were making signs to post around town. This gave me time to think more about my conversation with John. The idea appealed to me but I wasn’t sure I could pull it off so I decided to wait till I felt the time was right and then I would act on John’s idea. In the back of my mind I knew that I might very well wait too long.
The next day at work John stuck his head in my office and asked, “Did you think about my suggestion?”
I said, “Yes, but I haven’t decided what I am going to do yet. I know this seems like an easy decision for you but I am having a great deal of difficulty trying to decide on the right course of action.”
John smiled and said, “There is no pressure here. If you decided to try it let me know and I will get you some grass.”
That evening after dinner Jan and I sat down to watch a movie on one of the movie channels. Jan was wearing a pair of shorts with wide legs that slid up her thigh when she put her foot up on the sofa and hugged her knee, which she often did. I was sitting across the room from her on my lounge chair and from where I was sitting I could look up the leg opening of her shorts and see the gusset of her panties. Jan often sat that way on the sofa and I often got this same view and it always aroused me a little but never as much as it was that night. As we watched the movie there was a scene where the two main characters were making love. In this scene the woman slid down the man’s chest and began to give him a blowjob. This was an R rated movie so they didn’t really show what was happening but you knew what was supposed to be happening in that scene. In the middle of the scene I looked over at Jan. Her eyes were glued to the TV so I looked down at here exposed panties again.
By the time the movie was over and we headed up to bed I was so horny I had to try and have sex with Jan just to keep my balls from exploding. To my surprise I had no problem getting Jan in the mood. A little kissing on the mouth and some sucking on her breasts and Jan was ready. I wanted so much to try to get her to give me a blowjob but I was afraid it would turn Jan off and ruin the mood. That night I had one of the best climaxes I’ve had in a long time. As I lay in bed afterward I decided that I was going to follow John’s suggestion Friday night.
The next morning I passed John in the hall on my way to a meeting. As we passed I said, “I am going to try it tomorrow night, can you help me out?”
John smiled and said, “No problem.
For the rest of the day I had difficulty concentrating on my work. One minute I was sure my plans for Friday night were the right thing to do, and then later I would think the whole idea was stupid and I should forget about it.
That evening I didn’t know how to behave around Jan. I guess I became a little paranoid. I kept thinking she knows I am up to something and any minute now she is going to ask me straight out, “What are you up to?” That night as I lay in bed unable to sleep I decided to let John’s actions decide what I was going to do. If John remembers to bring me the grass without me saying anything to him, then I will go through with the plan. If John doesn’t bring the grass I won’t say a word and that will be the end of, it at least for a while.
Friday morning I passed John in the office hallways three or four times and we never spoke a word. By lunchtime I guessed that he forgot to bring the grass. I felt relieved. That took a lot of pressure off me but I was also disappointed because I knew that the things I was fantasizing about this weekend would not happen now.
I didn’t see John again until about three o’clock that afternoon. I was on the phone in my office when he walked in and put an envelope in my brief case, smiled and said, “Good Luck” then he turned and left.
I quickly closed my briefcase and continued my phone conversation. By the time five o’clock rolled around I was quite excited and very nervous. Now I had to go to the video store and rent an X-rated video. Now I am not naive. I have seen X-rated movies and videos before but I had never rented one myself and had never watched one with my wife. When I walked into the back room of the video store where they keep the porno movies the sheer volume of movies overwhelmed me. I had no idea of how to go about deciding on what movie to get so I chose one based on the pictures on the covers. I spotted a video box with a picture of a young couple holding hands in a park then on the back were shots of them having sex in several different positions including oral sex. I decide that looked like what I wanted. After I checked the movie out of the rental center I went to the liquor store and got two bottles of Jan’s favorite wine.
When I got home I parked the car in the garage and entered the kitchen. I didn’t see Jan as I walked in so I turned toward the family room to hide the video in the drawer of the entertainment center. Before I could take another step Jan appeared behind me and said “Oh good, you rented a movie for tonight. What did you get?” She grabbed the bag from the video store out of my hand before I could respond. I was frozen. I tried to tell her not to look at the video but I couldn’t get the words out in time. Jan pulled the cassette out of the bag and looked at the pictures on the box then she looked at me with an amused expression on her face. I didn’t know what to expect. She stared at me from what seemed to be a full minute then she started laughing.
She said, “What’s this? You brought home a porno movie? What are you planning to do with this?”
There was no anger in her words, only amusement.
I was totally committed now. “I thought we might try something a little different to jazz up our sex life.”
Jan laughed and said, “I didn’t think we needed any jazz in our sex life. Well, we are not watching that tonight.”
I thought, ‘Oh shit’ things seemed to be okay until that final pronouncement. I had to follow up on that. “Why can’t we watch this tonight?”
Jan laughed again and said, “Because I don’t think it would be appropriate to show that movie to our dinner guest.”
“Dinner guest? What dinner guest?”
“I should have known you weren’t listening to me the other night when I came home from Sue’s house. Remember me telling you that Dave had to go to Chicago Thursday and wouldn’t be home till Tuesday?”
“I remember you telling me about John going out of town but I didn’t remember that it was this weekend or that you invited Sue over for dinner.”
“Well, if you had listened you would have had all of this information.”
I was thinking how badly I screwed this up. At some point this weekend I was going to have to explain to Jan, why I brought home a porno movie.
Then Jan handed the movie to me and said, “You will just have to wait till tomorrow night to show me your movie.” When she said that she had a funny look on her face that told me she might actually want to see this movie.
I said, “Okay. It’s a date. We’ll watch the movie tomorrow night.”
“Now put the movie away and change your clothes. Sue will be over at six o’clock so you don’t have much time.”
As I was upstairs changing I heard the doorbell, then I heard Sue’s voice as she came into the house. I finished changing and went down stairs to find Jan and Sue sitting at the island counter in the kitchen drinking wine and talking about the community yard sale coming up the following weekend. On most occasions I would be glad to have Sue visiting us. After all she is very attractive. She is a bit shorter than Jan and has beautiful red hair and pretty green eyes. Sue is very friendly and she and I became friends almost from the first time we met right after she and Dave moved in next door to us. That night her presence made me a little grumpy and I didn’t want anyone to see me that way so I quickly got myself a beer and began the loosening up exercise that begins with elbow bends. After my second beer I was feeling better and was ready for dinner.
During dinner we talked about some changes Dave was planning to make at their house and Sue said she was supposed to ask me if I would help him. I said of course I would. Dave and I always helped each other on our home projects. When dinner was over we continued to sit at the table and finished the bottle of wine Jan had opened when Sue first arrived. I opened another bottle then went off to the bathroom.
On the way back I saw my briefcase sitting in my study and remembered the grass. I opened the case and took out the envelope John had given me and opened it. Inside were six neatly rolled joints. How high did John think I was going to need to get? I put two of the joints into my shirt pocket and put the rest back into the briefcase. I went into the dining room and suggested that we take our wine into the family and get more comfortable. When we were all seated, Jan and I on the sofa and Sue in an easy chair I pulled out one of the joints and asked “Anyone want a smoke?”
Sue asked, “Is that really a joint?”
I said, “Sure looks like one to me.”
Sue said, “I haven’t smoked since my college days.” Sue looked at Jan and asked, “Should we?”
Jan was quiet for a minute then said, “Yea, what the hell. Light it up.”
After two joints and a bottle and a half of wine we were all feeling pretty good. I asked the girls if they wanted to see if there were any good movies on cable. As I reached for the remote to turn the TV on Jan said, “Why don’t you ask Sue if she wants to watch the movie you rented?” Then she started to laugh hysterically.
Sue asked, “What movie did you rent?”
Jan said, “He brought home an X-rated movie. Said he wanted to jazz up our sex life.” Then she started laughing again and then Sue started laughing.
My first reaction was to feel hurt. I felt that Jan was making fun of me but then I realized that it was the grass that made her think it was funny and looking at the two of them laughing so hard I began to laugh. I got my composure back long enough to ask “Okay, who wants to watch the fuck movie?”
We all started laughing again then Sue said, “I do.”
Then Jan said, “I do too.”
“Yea, we both want to watch the fuck film,” Sue said trying to act like she was being serious but she fell into laughter when she saw how hard Jan was laughing.
I got the movie out of the drawer and put it into the VCR and hit play. The beginning of the tape was full of adds for telephone sex lines and porno sites on the Internet so I fast forwarded through all of that to the beginning of the movie. As was the case with any porno movies I had ever seen, there wasn’t much of a story line. It started with the main characters coming home from a party. As they come into their bedroom they are talking about a party they had just left then they started kissing and removing clothes. Then the film cuts to the couple in bed completely naked and the girl is giving the guy one hell of a blowjob. When Jan and Sue saw that they started laughing.
The story seemed to be about the couple having affairs with everyone in the porn industry. Jan and Sue seemed to be watching the movie intently although they would often make funny remarks about what they were seeing on the screen. Toward the end of the movie the male lead apparently had gotten feed up with his wife’s behavior so he decided to bring one of his girlfriends home and let his wife catch him making love to her. Anyway, the wife comes in while her husband is getting a blowjob on the couch. She losses her temper and starts calling him names then slaps his face. He jumps up as she turns to leave and grabs her by the hair and pulls her back. Then he forces her down on her knees and sticks his cock into her mouth. Naturally, she gets into this and is giving him a great blowjob when the other girl pulls the guys cock from his wife’s mouth and puts it in her own. The wife begins to put up a fight about this but the husband tells her she will have to share, which she does until he shoots a load of semen into the faces of both women. Well, the sex continues and soon the women are making love to each other. It was surprising to me that neither Jan nor Sue said a word during any of this scene. I expected the lesbian scene would have turned them off but they didn’t say a word about it.
The scene ended with the three of them in bed together and as the credits begin to roll over that scene. Pointing at the women on the screen, Sue asked, “Do men really like breasts like those?” The two women had very large breasts obviously made that way with implants.
I said, “I don’t know about other men but I don’t think those breasts are sexy at all. First, they are too big, second they look more like cantaloupes than breasts and last they look too hard. They don’t look like they would even feel real. You know what I mean?”
Sue indicated that she did know what I meant then I said, “Besides, I think the two of you have great breasts. To me Jan’s breasts are beautiful.” It had to be the wine and grass talking because I would never have said that otherwise.
Jan look at me and said, “Really? You never told me you felt that way about my breasts before.”
I took that to mean that she liked my compliment so I took it a little farther. I asked Sue “Have you ever seen Jan’s breasts?”
Sue laughed and said, “No.”
“Would you like to? Jan take you blouse off and show Sue those beautiful breasts.”
Half laughing Jan said, “I will not take my blouse off.”
I stood up and took Jan by the hand and pulled her up to her feet and whispered in her ear. “Now Sue and I want to see you breasts and if you don’t show them to us I will have to do to you what that guy did to his wife in the movie. Understand?”
Funny thing is I didn’t say it in a mean or threatening way and Jan didn’t seem upset at all. She just said, “All right, if that’s what you want.” She unbuttoned her blouse and removed it. Then she unsnapped her bra and removed it also. I noticed Sue looking at me then she turned and looked at Jan’s breasts.
I stepped behind Jan and reached around her and cupped both of her breasts in my hands and gently squeezed them and asked, “Don’t you think these are beautiful.”
Sue seemed to be mesmerized by the scene in front of her but she did manage an answer “George is right Jan, you do have very lovely breasts.”
I said, “I am sorry but I can control myself no longer.” Then I turned Jan toward me and began sucking on her nipples. The look on Jan’s face told me she liked what I was doing and Sue seemed to enjoy watching what I was doing to Jan. I was now very aroused and all things seemed possible. I decided that Sue shouldn’t be left out so I asked Jan, “Have you ever seen Sue’s breasts?” To which she answered, “No.”
Then I said, “I’ll bet she has beautiful breast too. I walked over to Sue and asked her to stand. She looked a little unsure about what to do but she stood up. Then I told her to turn sideways so we could see her profile. I said “Oh yes, I can tell by the way you fill out your clothes that your breasts must have a very nice shape to them. Jan, would you like to see Sue’s breasts, I sure would.”
