Aww, you're frustrated. Normal, it's okay. If you love her as much as you seem to then you probably won't. You don't seem to have any sort of overwhelming emotional need to go out and tag something new or anything like that. You seem to me like a stable, devoted guy who thinks maybe it's time to do some sexual exploration, not a compulsive purv cheater type.

Your wife has also only ever had one partner. She probably wants to do some exploring too. She just probably wasn't expecting you to come along and actually suggest it. It you and her both come to a point in your lives where you want to go out and do some exploring then you're all set to go out and do it. What you have now is two people who are not used to indulging themselves sexually who both need to gently come out of their shells.

You planted the seed by mentioning. Now you need to just go back to being a good husband and companion and all of that. That seed might grow and she might also end up wondering about how her life could be different if her partner encouraged her to do some exploring. If it does then you can experience it together and all of the energy and excitement will be something that you share.

I can understand the feeling that you need to get out and do some exploring before you die. If your wife just isn't into it and you still feel that way then whatever, you can consider cheating then. Until then I personally think that your wife deserves at least a chance to slowly come around. I would give her at least a year or two if I were you before writing the idea off. Best at this point if you could go at least a few weeks without brining it up yourself. She might bring it up herself and then she'll feel in control.
