Re: Perceptions Just recently my wife and I were at a wedding reception and a lot of our friends noticed us slow dancing and holding hands and making kissy faces at each other, telling us how cute we looked together, etc. You'd think we were the ones that just got married! A couple of our friends even told us flat out they were jealous of what we have and how they wished they had that with their spouses, especially after being married all these years.
My wife looked particularly hot that evening, and one of my male co-workers confided in me saying he thought she looked hot. I grinned to myself and told him "I think so, too." Afterwards I told her what he said and my wife just gave me a wicked smile and said something like "that was nice of him." He's one of those that, if the topic ever came up, we wouldn't mind confiding in saying we're in the lifestyle - but won't go out of our way to volunteer any information. We've known him and his wife for many years and we think they'd make a fun couple to "hang out with" outside of the norm. I know he would, and he's rather quiet and discreet, but his wife is somewhat conservative, so I wouldn't know how she would feel. That's too bad, too, because my wife thinks he'd make a good sex-toy for her. Unfortunately, as long as his wife feels the way she does about things we're not pushing the issue.
I think he suspects about us, though. One day while chewing the fat, the topic turned to our spouses and "sharing." He asked me what I thought of swinging and sharing in general. Without revealing anything I said something like "I'm not opposed to the idea. My wife and I like to keep an open mind about such topics." Who knows? Maybe some good might come out of this. |
