Feeling guilty over spontaneous encounter with friend with benefits

Recommended Posts

Just when I thought I had it figured out, I get myself into a situation that changes my previous thinking. Sunbuckus previously posted a thread here about what is cheating and what is cuckolding and I responded. Well, I may have to change that response, as I encountered a situation that is very similar to the hypothetical situation posed by Sun.

 

I have a single friend with benefits who was introduced to my husband and me through another swinger friend. We played with him twice in a mmf situation but my husband wasn't really into because the friend is not bi. But Mr. A lets me play with him separately if I want and because Mr. A has been away a lot on business the past half a year, I play with the friend...a lot. Although Mr. A never asked, I always let him know ahead of time if I am going to swing without him, whether it's with this friend or with someone else.

 

So Mr. A left town on Saturday, and on Sunday I ran into the friend at Bed Bath and Beyond, of all places. Cutting to the chase, I really missed having sex with the friend that he came home with me (a short 5 min drive) and we had some amazing sex, and in my delirium, I let the friend play without a condom and cum inside me. Everything was so spontaneous, and I felt really bad that I didn't tell Mr. A beforehand, although he has said I can go play with the friend anytime. So I called Mr. A that night and told him everything (he was out of town for business again) . To my relief, Mr. A wasn't angry or upset at all. In fact, he said he was turned on and wanted to watch our next session in person. Even though we do a lot of cuckold roleplay, this surprised me.

 

So now I still feel guilty about that spontaneous get-together even though Mr. A was not upset. A girl just can't win. I don't know if it's cheating in this situation? What do you all think? I am relieved but can't get over my own guilt.

 

And I can't get over that it'd feel very weird for me to have Mr. A in the same room watching the friend and I do our thing. We have been in countless cuckold fantasies but this one just feels different. I am scared how Mr. A would react to it all, since this is not a fantasy he plans out. I told the friend that my husband wants to watch and he's fine with it, so I am the only one having second thoughts. Am I overthinking this?

I agree with the other posters. It has turned out fine....I wouldn't do it again without telling him first, but all seems well. Perhaps to alleviate the cuckold feelings you are having, perhaps you might get him to take a few sexy pictures if your friend is cool with it. That way he feels like an active participant and won't feel left out. Mrs fun and I never play separate, but we do have the occasional single male where I don't participate but merely take some pictures. I may join in later or afterwards. It's just what works for us......

As for feeling weird about having Mr. A watch you two go at it the next time...could it be because there's an emotional attachment going on with you and Mr. Friend? I found myself in that place with a certain playmate after we had a lot of separate play.

 

Interesting how Sun and MrDiscover talk about emotional attachment. I initially thought I'm inching toward poly but I really just want sex with the friend. We have some small talk but almost everything we do is sexual. I think my concern is that this is more real than role-playing and is new territory for both myself and Mr. A. When we do cuckold mmf role-play, both Mr. A and I talk and know what we want going into play. But this time, Mr. A wasn't involved. The sex I have with the friend is a far cry from the threesome we had when we all first met. It's rougher now, lots of dirty talking, more intimacy and passion, so I really don't know how Mr. A will react to it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually he already mentioned he wants to film it or take pictures. The friend is ok with but again it's me being the party-pooper. I can't put my finger on why I don't really want to. It's not like we have never taken pictures during play. I think I just have to relax, let go, and have fun.

I believe you handled the situation without doing anything wrong. There is no perfect rule book. This was a situation that your rule book did not cover. So you consulted with your spouse to determine whether or not a revision of or addition to the rule book was needed. That was good. Revision was apparently not needed.

I completely understand how you're feeling asncpl. My wife if perfectly comfortable with whatever I do with my FwB and my FwB is total comfortable with our relationship. I, alone, still manage to occasionally work myself up with guilt or some other drama that exists only in my head. I've actually spent this whole week actively not posting my own self inflicted drama here.

 

I'll tell you what I ended up telling myself. Talk to your partner and accept that they are fine with it. If you have concerns about your husband watching, talk to him about it and tell him why you are concerned. I'm guessing that he will listen, will understand and will ultimately surprise you. My wife always does (actually, she doesn't surprise me, because in my heart I know she'll just roll her eyes at me and tell me "of course it's fine" but I still need to hear it sometimes). :)

I agree with the others, I don't see this as cheating at all. Mr. A had said you could do it any time, and there weren't any conditions on that about him knowing beforehand. The fact that in practice you had been letting him know up front up until now didn't make that a rule. All you did was when presented different circumstances you handled it a bit differently, but it was well within the overall parameters of the agreement between yourself and Mr. A.

 

I can't put my finger on why I don't really want to. It's not like we have never taken pictures during play. I think I just have to relax, let go, and have fun.

 

Is it because you think having three involved instead of the normal two will take something away from it, and it's so good with two that you don't want to give that up, even once? And those feelings bother you, but they are still there? For some people, that could maybe be a problem, but with the level of communication and understanding you guys have, if that is it, I don't think it has to be a problem in this case. Maybe do both one time - Mr. A is there for the start and takes some pics or whatever, but then heads out, leaving you two to your fun.

In reading this, I also agree that you might have feelings you haven't processed yet regarding your playmate. Everybody else seems to not only accept but encourage the situation to develop, but you seem hesitant for some unstated reason. Look within. Why do you feel you need to set "limits" or act in a more restrained way?

Thanks everyone! Your comments really helped. I think I am creating an issue when there is none. I need to get the thought out of my head.

 

I think you have something here. There are times when I sound different when playing with others than with Mr. Sun and I'm sometimes afraid that it might make Mr. Sun feel bad if he isn't occupied with someone else. So, I go through times when I "hold back" if I know he's watching. I think what would alleviate the issue is to talk to Mr. A about your feelings about it if this is the case. I've brought this up to Mr. Sun a few times and he always assures me that he wants me to have fun but I still get that niggling feeling in my head that I need to be conscious of how Mr. Sun feels.

 

This is really it, I think. It may exist only in my head, but what if Mr. A feels bad. Mr. A wasn't involved in the sexual relationship I have developed with my friend, and what he'll see is far different than when we all first played as a threesome in the beginning. So on the one hand, I wonder if I have to hold back if he's watching, but on the other hand, Mr. A wants to see what the fuss is all about and why I love having sex with this friend. I think my solution is to talk to Mr. A and let him know ahead of time what to expect. I'll let you all know how it goes!

 

@ Sunbuckus and Lionheart72: love your new avatars! So glad to hear comments from both of you since I think we are in similar situations.

Just want to let everyone know what happened since my post and close the loop on this one. Not long after my post, I did have a session with my special friend while Mr. A watched. It's right that most of the feelings existed in my head, but it felt strange and awkward to be naked while Mr. A kept his clothes on and wasn't participating like in a normal swinging event. The session began awkwardly too, and I was nervous so I asked Mr. A before doing anything. But I began to relax after intercourse and Mr. A was so encouraging and even held my hand. Mr. A even got a quickie at the end while my friend was in the bathroom cleaning up so I knew he was actually pretty turned on by it.

Just catching up on your story... It's an interesting situation, and one that, while not exactly the same as some things that have happened with us, rings a familiar bell in my head (Mr. CoupleInMD79 here). You start having such a good time with passionate separate play that you wonder whether your partner would be OK with it if they were watching.

 

I'm glad you went ahead and had the session with your special friend while Mr. A watched. I was going to comment that having him watch you and your friend would be a big act of trust on both of your parts- him trusting that nothing he sees will shock or hurt him, and you trusting that he will be OK with your passionate sex with your FWB. So from that point of view, having Mr. A watch was an opportunity to bring you two closer together! I hope you and your FWB didn't self-censor too much, and that the experience really did reaffirm your mutual trust with Mr. A!

Mrs. SW often expresses concern that I am not having fun. I answer that I have fun in my own ways and in sufficient amount.

 

I'm pleased that you have shared this with us.

Why waste the energy on guilt. He didn't increase the fuck count because you have already been done before. I hope you were able to get done anything you needed when hubby was around.

I don't think you shouldn't feel guilty about that....I don't know about you guys but we got into this lifestyle because we wanted each other to be happy and enjoy life and all of those wonderful things life has to offer and spontaneity is one of those beautiful things....we try to give a heads up every time but sometimes things just happen and it is a great thing and we do what you did which is just tell it immediately

Never had this kind of experience but my wife and I had an experience this past summer with a good friend going through a divorce. We hinted (mostly me) at a threesome with her and after a few glasses of wine we had the experience. While we know him super well as you said it was spontaneous and when he pulled out his cock and she was hot, maybe thinking it was me that was going to start when it was him he also had sex with her without a condom and as he tried to pull out in the last second she inserted his cock and told him how much she loved to feel the warmth of the cum. I have often thought about this and would like to relive it. I think my wife put in on her bucketlist and that is that. Overthinking is your way of coping.

I know how I react when my wife is like that. I'm turned-on and ever more in love with her. (And happy that she's enjoying herself in new ways.)

Old thread but I'm calling "not cheating"

 

My wife or myself would call beforehand in a similar situation but if things happened in a similar way afterward would be fine.

 

I expect you've followed it through to the end by now but your hubby wanting to watch now doesn't seem unusual at all . Especially in light of your previous discussions. He may have been on the verge of wanting that or being ready for that and the excitement f hearing about your encounter tipped it just enough.

Badgers wife,
 

I am thinking like others who have posted. You are afraid to let your husband see that you have feelings for this dude because you have intimacy, dirty talking, and rough sex with the other guy and obviously it is something that you do not do with your husband. But the main part is you have an emotional involvement with this friend and you don’t want your husband to see it. I think it is plain to see.

Badgers wife,

Feelings like the OP's can come from many sources.

What you suggest is one of them.

 

If that is the cause(or at least one of the causes) the question is how is the FWB relationship to be addressed.

Break it off?

Incorporate it?

Write it off as NRE and let it play out?

 

Those are all viable answers if paired with the right couple.

That is a matter for the internal dynamic of each couple.

      Hello everyone,

      Me and my wife are new to the lifestyle and so far we've only met 3 couples. 
      We have a few rules/boundaries and one of them is that we only do a full swap and have sex if we both have sex. I suffer from ED which I've started getting treatment for which is helping, but before we even went into the lifestyle I felt my penis might not get hard so we added this rule to kind of take the pressure off if I couldn't perform. 

      So with experience 1 as expected I didn't get hard at all but enjoyed giving oral and watching my wife give and receive oral, experience 2 was same again. No problems so far and after both these experiences the sex with my wife has been incredible and my favourite part of all this.

      Couple no3 is where things for me at least went wrong. 

      So we met up for dinner at our place and we got on great and everything was going perfectly and the wine was flowing. First problem is I drank too much, I wasn't drunk but I was closer to drunk than sober. We started playing a game to break the ice and started with the kissing and oral, as before my penis isn't getting hard at all but I just focus on the other wife and use my mouth and hands. I'm not sure how much time had passed but this is where the second problem comes in my wife stops everyone and asks me if it is ok if she has sex. I wasn't thinking clearly due to the alcohol and said yes. She had sex (with condom)  with him and I watched it and when the guy finished we all stopped and that was it.

      The day after I felt incredibly conflicted and I explained all this to my wife and how I feel like she should of asked me in private if she could have sex and how we had a rule about only having sex if we both did. I know I shouldn't have drunk so much to keep my mind clear.

      I've told my wife I need to step back and take a break from everything and she is fine with it. I'm not angry with my wife or upset, we both made mistakes I just feel disappointed with myself more than anything.

      Has anyone else had experiences like this and how do you avoid things like this?? Any advice would be great.

      From what is posted and discussed here, probably the second most frequent rule couples have in swinging is "no anal." Some do not give an explanation, other say it is special and saved for just between themselves. Why is that?
       
      Considering anal sex as something sacred seems contrary to what girls said and did growing up. For girls in my junior high and high school letting a guy put his dick in your bum and cum was considered "third base" stuff, like oral. The reasons some girls did anal was because they either didn't like oral at all or didn't like a guy cumming in their mouth, a few girls liked it because they were able to orgasm that way, and some because their bf just wanted it. It also had the advantage of being a means of contraception at an age when getting on birth control was not easy.
       
      To hubby and me anal is nothing special; in fact, I have never done it with him. I have done it with other guys because they asked, but the only time it gets me even close to orgasm is when the guy in my bum is also playing with my clit. The after effects are that Mr. Anal Man keeps the antibacterial soap companies secure in business, I need another fresh guy (that is my hubby) to give me vaginal sex so I can cum, and there is that frothy mix squishing out. (Yes, it was what happened last night that got me to thinking.) So to us it is the most detached and least special of sex acts.
       
      Your thoughts.

      I have always had an interest in the human definition, just who are we? What drives us? Who actually defines us? I know I was never asked....or given the questionnaire.
       
      As always it is those not living how others are or maintain power or try to be that desperately try to define all of us into a box.
       
      I’ve always been curious, always asking why because the bottles, jars and boxes we all get shoved into never hold true.
       
      My take away? Humans are:
       
      Curious
      Adventurous
      Emotional
      Highly social
      Desire acceptance
      Absolute need for contact, touch
      Emotional connection, attachment
      Happiness....
       
      ....collectively we want to be happy. We want at the end of our efforts, happiness.
       
      So with that in mind why the imposed monogamy question? Maybe a better question is why the varying definitions to adapt to the wide variety of cultures, beliefs countries when in fact we were not made to be mono anything since the beginning of time without being taught, threatened and social outcasts for not taking part in the norm.
       
      Mate sharing, spouse sharing and combined expanded family arrangements have been around since before history. The last 2,000 years monogamy, authority of the one, singular, grew but always had the old ways nipping at its heals.
       
      In my readings I recently came across an interesting article, below:
       
      Why Monogamy Isn't
      The death of compulsory monogamy and viewing monogamy as only a social good

      https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-polyamorists-next-door/201508/why-monogamy-isnt
       
      As most everyone in this group lives or wants to live a less than monogamous lifestyle you might find it an interesting read.
