 Sharing Partners Works and is Fun, But Has Risks From a 43-year-old Wife...

   First let me say, that after 40 years on this planet I have come to
realize that sex and relationships are complicated.  They are full of
hidden desires, fantasies, emotions, the baggage we bring with us from our
personal histories, motives we may never understand and the mysteries of
what it mean to be human...  man or woman.

   Also, let it be known that I believe sex between two committed people
who adore each other is always the best kind of sex.  It's the kind that
can bring you as close to Nirvana, God, Ecstasy, Heaven...  whatever you
choose to call that experience of incredible closeness.

   With that out of the way, let me tell you that I also like to share my
husband with other women.  I love to watch him fuck another woman, knowing
she is getting a taste of what I get from him.  When our eyes lock as he is
sliding in and out of another woman's pussy, it is a connection unlike any
other we have.

   We have done this numerous times since the very beginning of our
relationship.  The encounters themselves have almost always been tremendous
fun, leaving memories that we love to relive.  But, problems can arise, and
have for us.

   I am certain there are real swingers out there, people who enjoy the
encounters, but do not become entangled in the intimacy of the marriage. 
Strangely, we have not found them.  So far, some of the people we have
invited into our bed have eventually turned out to be twisted, leaving
behind a trail of drama and tension that leaves us questioning if pursuing
certain desires are worth the potential trouble.

   Boundaries and rules are important, but be prepared that the lines may
get crossed.  Giving your partner freedom to express their sexual fantasies
can sometimes lead to things you were not expecting.  Unlocking and
unleashing fantasies can sometimes be like being on a runaway train.

   He has "cheated" more than once by having private encounters.  It has
led to conflict, but it has also given me the opportunity to explore the
source of my jealous, angry feelings.  Why am I insecure?  Why must I
insist that he be "faithful" when I desire private encounters of my own?

   So, after ten years together, there are still things we are working out,
but I don't think we will close the door on other partners.  They provide a
level of fun we both enjoy.
