coupling
I was feeling so creative yesterday. Had so many ideas for blog posts, that I was tapping away on this keyboard for bleeding ages. But my head was so bursting with ideas that I never managed to finish even one of the seven (yes, seven) posts that I started. Today, however, I'm not feeling so creative, so with any luck this post might actually make it to the end.
The boyfriend and I had a little bit of a talk last night. About What He Wants. And it would appear that one thing he would like to try is swinging with another couple that as yet does not exist. Bloody wife swapping! That's what he wants, even though he doesn't actually have a wife. A full swap too - none of this soft swing nonsense, and preferably in the same room. Hmm.
Have I mentioned that swinging with another couple has no appeal for me, at all? I've never had a fantasy that involved another couple, and no matter how hard I try I can't even think one up (feel free to help me out here...). I can see some advantages to it.... we both get to swing at the same time with different people. And, er... no, that's where the advantages end, I think.
"We can watch each other", he said. I laughed.
"Do you think I'm likely to be watching if I'm having great sex? Because I don't think so... I'll be in the zone, and you won't even exist." He laughed. I wasn't joking.
Nothing and nobody exists when I'm having great sex. And so, by deduction, if I was watching, then I would have to be having shit sex. That's not an advantage. I'd much rather have no sex than shit sex. I want to watch him with another woman - I already do in my head. But I don't want to be distracted by another man, and chances are that if there's another man in the room, I will be. Especially if he's got his cock out.
Ooh, hold on. An idea! I could be a voyeur, and watch this imaginary couple have a threesome with the boyfriend. He's good in threesomes - very creative. Is that a workable idea though? Probably bloody not. But I am trying here. I'm not going to be selfish - I've been selfish all summer. If he has this fantasy, then I'll go along with it, try and make it mine too.
Aren't I kind?
Finding the right balance is depressingly hard at times. Getting four people in bed with the same level of libido and fun is just as difficult, though swinging seems to go on year after year.
