Any Men Whose Wives Refuse To Even Consider Swinging?
OK, this is not as much for seeking advice (although I’m sure I’ll get plenty!) as to commiserate with other husbands whose vanilla-minded wives simply will not even entertain the notion of swinging or anything beyond the realm of monogamous sex.
I know very well that swinging must be totally mutual between both spouses for it to be a positive experience. My motivation here is to enhance our fairly decent sex life. We’re 52 and 50, married almost 28 years, two kids, our own business, and a great relationship. She’s rather conservative, very modest.
I’ve always had a much greater sex drive than her and a need for more “out there” sex. I have indeed cheated on her our entire lives together, having many affairs, one-night stands, liaisons on business trips, even bisexual experiences. I’ve enjoyed it all, and have been immensely careful not to leave any clues or slip up, and she has no idea about my “other” life.
I truly love my wife dearly. She is still very sensuous and attractive, and I’ve taught her a few new things over the years, like enjoying the use of toys, and how to squirt.
Truth is, I do not have any guilt regarding my infidelity, but I’m tired of it. Too much effort and time wasted setting up secret rendezvous, etc. I want to experience the pleasures of non-monogamous sex WITH my lady by my side; I want to share it with her and not have to decieve her anymore.
I pondered it for months, studied the lifestyle, did voluminous research on the topic. I finally dropped the bomb on her on (of all days, you idiot!) Mother’s Day! She exploded. No, she IMploded. Whatever, it was the most shocking, terrifying thing to ever happen to her in our relationship – she thought the dream was over. She was so scared, hurt, confused, repulsed. I finally had to backpedal and try to talk to her rationally and we went to marriage counseling only two days later (at MY behest, not hers!). I needed to be able to talk to her via the thrid party there. I needed to ease her pain. Anyway, things went well there, and we opened a new line of communication. She never suspected I was so…sexual..so kinky. This man she’d known almost all her life was different now in a way, and it still leaves her a bit muddled and confused.
She tried to learn what the attraction is. She even looked online at various swinger’s sites, the Freedom Acres site, etc. She wanted to know what her man was interested in doing. She couldn’t agree with any of the positives all you folks were preaching. She did suggest she might go to a club just for me, to “get it out of my system” , but she’ll sit in the bar and interact with no one…maybe go back to the car if it’s too much. What fun.
We’ve rarely watched porn; she has no interest in seeing other people having sex and it doesn’t arouse her (so much for same-room sex). She doesn’t have any fantasies about having sex with other people. She doesn’t talk dirty and the word “fuck” is almost impossible to pry out of her mouth.
We do have reservations at the Terra Cotta Inn in Palm Springs in early November. It’s a clothing optional resort and I hope she’ll become a bit more comfortable around naked people. She’s agreed to go but made it clear she intends to remain clothed. I told her that’s fine. I’ll be naked. I appreciate her even going with me.
Anyway, I wonder if there are other men on here with equally hopeless situations. I’ve all but resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never get to indulge in that forbidden pleasure of outside sex WITH my wife there, enjoying it with me. It is deeply disappointing, and I like to believe that somehow, someday, she might come around on her own. But not too likely.
