Saturday
As we speak is our final day on vacation. We’ve spent the week in Rhodes, Greece, ingesting wine and consuming gyros.
Being away means we’ve felt extra relaxed, and tonight, as we loved a pre-dinner cocktail on the balcony of our condo, we acquired speaking about our marriage.
Final Could, Jake informed me he was bisexual and can be eager to have a threesome with a trans lady. I used to be open to contemplating our choices. We’re not naïve – a intercourse life whenever you’ve been collectively that lengthy wants work.
However simply after Jake got here out, his dad acquired very sick and died quickly after. And with that, properly, life acquired in the best way.
So, we’ve haven’t really talked way more about his sexuality – till tonight. With a little bit of Dutch braveness, I admitted that I’d be extra eager on opening up our marriage sexually, fairly than really having a threesome. I really like the concept of assembly a random stranger in a resort bar.
We’ve each mentioned from the start of our relationship that whereas we love one another, we will separate intercourse from love. However Jake mentioned he’s unsure if he may address the jealousy if I had one-on-one intercourse with one other man.
So, we’re very a lot nonetheless within the speaking levels – however it’s good that we’re speaking.
Sunday
We flew house at this time, and arrived again at our flat simply in time to look at the soccer collectively, curled up on the couch.
We assist the identical soccer workforce, and it’s one thing that, all through our marriage, we’ve all the time made an effort to look at collectively.
Our workforce gained and I did provoke celebratory intercourse, however Jake was too drained (and a bit drunk – he’d had just a few beers whereas watching), so we simply fell asleep.
I don’t actually let our differing libidos trouble me – even when we don’t have intercourse, Jake all the time jogs my memory how a lot he loves me.
Monday
Jake works night time shifts and weekends, whereas I’ve a really busy social life, so we don’t have as a lot intercourse as we like. Annoyingly, Jake additionally prefers morning intercourse, whereas I get sexy within the evenings.
As we speak I used to be working within the workplace, so other than just a few fast cuddles between snoozes of the alarm, intercourse wasn’t on the menu.
Somebody as soon as recommended that we should always schedule intercourse, however that offers me the ick. I’d fairly do it as soon as a month and or not it’s spontaneous and good, than twice per week on a set day and time, and or not it’s vanilla.
Tuesday
One other no intercourse day. Sigh.
Jake has simply began a block of night time shifts, so I went to mattress alone.
Nevertheless, we all the time be certain we’re involved and I made a decision to ship him a horny selfie earlier than mattress – it’s one thing we’ve all the time finished, and it retains issues spicy. The plan is to get him scorching below the collar for when he will get house.
When he’s working nights, Jake all the time sends me goodnight messages and says how a lot he misses me. That’s one of many issues I really like about being married to an older man. It’s not all the time nearly intercourse – he is aware of be a gentleman and nonetheless enjoys wooing me, even after 15 years collectively.
Wednesday
Jake acquired in from work at 7.30am, and it turned out my horny selfie did the trick. Outcome. I needed to go away for work at 8am, so we managed a really fast quickie.
I’m fairly assured anyway, however Jake all the time make really feel horny and like I’m a goddess within the bed room. I completed on high – and I used to be gutted once I needed to go to work and go away him in mattress. He mentioned it helped him have a stunning sleep – jealous!
Thursday
I hoped for a repeat efficiency of the day earlier than, however delayed trains for him meant I used to be leaving for work as he arrived at house. However, as I used to be dashing out of the door, he grabbed me and we had an intense, passionate, kiss.
I usually assume folks overlook about how nice kissing is – it’s not only for whenever you had been at college behind the bike sheds. Why don’t folks snog anymore? There’s nothing that makes me really feel fairly as linked to Jake as an ideal kiss.
Nevertheless, that night, with Jake at work, I used to be feeling within the temper. I really like watching porn – though it has to have a storyline – so I grabbed my vibrator and loved some me time.
Friday
No work for Jake tonight – I like it when he’s again in mattress with me after sleeping aside.
I awoke within the early hours, feeling unexpectedly sexy. He was snuggled into me, so I grinded in opposition to him a bit, in a hope to wake him up – and it labored! We had beautiful, sluggish, intercourse at 3am.
Typically, that frantic, sweaty intercourse is nice, however I actually take pleasure in taking my time over issues.
After we completed, we dozed off again to sleep, after which once we awoke at about 8am, we did it once more. Excellent! An awesome begin to the weekend.
