Over the years I’ve tried to convince my wife of the pleasures to be found in sexual fantasy and experimentation but she has shown little interest. Although she is conservative in her views on sex, she is a very attractive woman. At thirty nine years of age Rachel is still beautiful, with long blonde hair, large breasts and a great ass. She also has killer legs, and when she deigns to wear high heels and a short skirt she gets noticed.

I have read her many stories from Forum about men who share their wives with other men, and she knows this is my favorite fantasy. But when I approached her about living it out, she said she wasn’t interested. She said that I was man enough for her, and that she had no need to go looking for cock from anyone else.

Well to tell you the truth, this answer satisfied me somewhat, and I thought she meant it. But then something happened not so long ago which suggested that Rachel hadn’t quite been on the level with me. Luckily for me.

Rachel works for an engineering firm, and most of the time works a half day on Fridays. On the Friday in question business was slow at my place of work, so I decided to knock off a couple hours early. As I approached our house I saw a red sports car parked in front, and a tall good looking young guy with a briefcase getting out of it.

I was somewhat puzzled by this, so I pulled over and watched as the stranger proceeded to our front door. It was then I remembered Rachel telling me about a meeting she was to have that very afternoon with an insurance agent.

This guy was really attractive, and I couldn’t help letting my imagination run away with me. I drove around to park in the alley and quietly moved to a vantage point where I could see into our living room.

As I looked in I saw that the stranger was seated on the couch sorting through papers on the coffee table, while Rachel sat next to him listening attentively. After fifteen or twenty minutes went by and nothing out of the ordinary looked to be happening, I was about to give up on my spy adventure.

At that point the guy stood up to take his jacket off, and then sat back down somewhat closer to Rachel than before. She was going over some papers as he was speaking to her. I was surprised at what happened next, but not displeased. When she turned to look up at him there was a slight hesitation between them, and then he leaned down and placed his lips on hers.

I had a great view through the window as Rachel allowed this handsome stranger to kiss her for a few seconds. He then placed his hand on Rachel’s leg just above the knee and slid it up under her skirt.

I was getting extremely turned on by all this, and was rubbing my hard on through my pants. As the kissing got heavier, I could see Rachel giving in to her lust. Our friend was now probing her mouth with his tongue as his hand moved smoothly up and down her silky thigh.

Then, without taking his mouth off hers, he started to unbutton her blouse. I watched as he fiddled with her bra until he had liberated her gigantic breasts from their confines. He kneaded them softly as he kissed his way down her neck and shoulders.

Soon he was sucking on her saucer sized nipples and had moved his hand further up under her skirt. Rachel was sitting back with her eyes closed like she was in a trance. I saw how she parted her legs to make room for her newfound lover’s probing hands.

After a few more minutes of foreplay he got up and drew her to her feet. She stood quietly as he helped her step out of her skirt and pantyhose. She discarded her blouse and bra herself. Then he sat her back down on the sofa and got on the floor between her legs, kissing up her thighs to her swollen cunt.

My dear sweet Rachel lay back as he ravished her pussy with his mouth. Soon she was shaking with a very powerful orgasm. She was still gasping as her lover unzipped his pants and pulled out a massive erection, much larger than my own.

The salesman stood in front of my wife and brought his stiff tumescent cock up to her eager mouth. Rachel slowly licked the fat cockhead as he moved it back and forth across her succulent lips.

My wife was usually not much for giving head, so I was surprised to see her so willing to swallow this stranger’s tool. She was soon enthusiastically making love to his cock with her lips and tongue. Her superb cocksucking technique was a revelation, and I redoubled my efforts, stroking my pecker to near climax. Rachel seemed to be enjoying herself, when suddenly he popped his dick out of her mouth and drew her down to join him on the carpeted floor.

Rachel hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously as she lay down for him, opening her legs wide and spreading her pink pussy lips with both hands. This was better than any porno I’d ever seen. Here was my stunning wife lying on her back on our carpet with a well hung stranger preparing to fuck her.

I couldn’t hold back any longer. As he entered her I exploded with an exhilarating rush. But I continued to watch as Rachel squirmed joyously while that impressive cock penetrated her pussy. He was moving in and out of her like a ramrod, with Rachel’s arms and legs trying to pull him in further, when suddenly her back arched and her feet came up off the floor as she screamed through a very prolonged orgasm. I could see the contortions of the stranger’s face as he shot his wad into her. I came again too.

After a few moments of recovery they got up and dressed, and I watched the salesman kiss my wife good bye. Then he was gone.

I retreated to my car, gave Rachel enough time to compose herself, then drove around to the front and went in. Rachel was in the shower, and I poured myself a stiff drink. I felt I deserved it.

When she came out of the shower dripping wet, I offered to towel her dry. I ran my hands over her voluptuous body, thinking of her infidelity. This got me harder than ever. Rachel noticed my boner and slipped her hand down to circle it. She began pumping away, and soon we were fucking like rabbits on the bedroom floor.

My wife must have a hell of a lot of insurance, because every Friday since then, the same salesman’s been knocking on my door and fucking my wife. I haven’t missed a meeting yet.

Although my wife Clara took part in several beauty pageants during her college days, she nevertheless used to be rather shy when it came to nudity and sexual experimentation. Clara is now twenty six, with reddish blonde hair and a light sprinkling of freckles on her large firm tits. Years of workouts have kept her body in perfect shape. Her hourglass figure, well rounded hips and long silky legs make her a natural sex goddess, and her pixie face accentuates her good looks. In addition, she has truly mastered the art of fucking. Her cunt muscles can clamp down on a dick and milk it dry.

When I first started bringing home some X rated tapes, Clara was a little embarrassed to watch them but little by little she got to enjoy them. Watching the tapes eventually encouraged her to try oral and anal sex, which she would never consider before.

Clara often commented on the black studs in the films, how big their cocks were and how they seemed to really drive the white women wild while fucking. What intrigued her wasn’t so much the width of the cocks as how long they were. She often wondered how a woman could take the whole length of some of those black cocks inside her.

After a while we began to discuss the possibility of Clara taking on a black stud. She admitted that the thought of being naked with a black guy and fucking him really got her hot. But her feelings of shyness got in the way. So I began forming a plan to overcome her fears.

I had a black friend named Greg who I knew had a cock that was well over nine inches long when hard, and very thick. We had been stationed on a small destroyer while serving in the Navy together. We had often gone on liberty in foreign countries, and fucked prostitutes together in the same room. On one Scandinavian cruise, Greg got his first taste of white pussy. She was a blonde Swedish girl, and I got to watch Greg fuck her many times. I remembered how she moaned as his long cock plunged in and out of her cunt. Now I was obsessed with the thought of watching that big black cock pumping its full length up my wife’s red haired pussy.

I started having Greg over to the house to watch tapes and share a few beers with Clara and me, and we often talked about sex. Clara soon became quite comfortable with these conversations, and with watching the videos with Greg. One night on our way to the house, Greg and I stopped off at a bar and had a few beers. We talked about our Navy days and how he had fucked those Australian girls. Greg revealed that he’d had a vasectomy, as his wife didn’t want any more kids. I told him Clara wanted some black dick, but was too shy to initiate anything. I told him her tits were so sensitive that she could come just by playing with them. Then I told him I wanted him to fuck her. Greg was interested, since he had never fucked a red haired pussy, and it had been a long time since he’d had any white pussy at all.

On the way home I picked up some videos and some cold beer. When we got there, Clara had just stepped out of the shower and was wearing a sheer negligee tied loosely around her waist. It gaped open slightly, giving us a view of her long smooth legs and hairy pussy. Her big round tits were plainly visible as well. I opened each of us a cold beer, then gave Clara a long kiss, probing her mouth with my tongue. I knew Greg was watching as I opened the gap in her negligee. I fingered her cunt, spreading her cunt lips to give him an eyeful.

We sat on the couch with Clara in the middle. I popped a tape into the VCR, and almost immediately we were watching a white woman sucking a big black cock. I kissed Clara again, this time opening her negligee completely. Her tits and pussy were fully exposed, and her nipples were long and hard. I asked her if Greg could feel her tits, and she nodded. I turned off the VCR as Greg took over this was going to be better then any fuck movie.

Greg kissed Clara passionately, and they began to suck each other’s tongue as Greg massaged her tits. Then his hand went to her pussy, and she moaned as he expertly caressed and stroked her crotch. She didn’t protest when he lifted her and carried her into the bedroom, laying her spread eagled in the middle of the bed.

Clara’s eyes widened as Greg quickly undressed, and she gasped at the sight of his huge cock. He got on the bed and teased her with the head of his dick, running it up and down her slit, putting the tip in her pussy and then taking it out, as Clara begged him to stick it to her. Finally I watched him slowly work the full length of his huge cock up my wife’s cunt

Clara’s moans became shrill shrieks as his huge cock pounded her pussy. “Oh, you are so long,” she cried. “Oh, I can’t believe I have it all in me. Oh fuck me. Fuck me hard!”

A surprised look came over Greg’s face as he moaned, “Oh, sweet mama, your pussy is jacking off my dick! Oh yes, baby, milk it. Work it, baby!” I knew by the way Clara’s hips were moving that she was doing just that. Soon they both exploded at the same time, filling the room with their cries of ecstasy.

Greg phoned his wife, telling her he wouldn’t be home that night as he had some important work he had to do. He worked Clara’s cunt over several times that night. He also fucked her big tits, coming all over her chest and neck.

Now Clara is no longer shy. Greg and three of his friends have been over several times to gang bang my lusty wife. With her hot pussy and her love for big black cock, and my delight in watching her banging other guys, we make the perfect couple.

My wife wanted me to write this letter to tell you what happened last week on our trip to Atlantic City. My wife is still a very beautiful woman at forty two. This is the second marriage for both of us, and we have been married for twelve years. We have talked many times about our previous sexual experiences, so I knew Dana had had quite a sex life before we met. She told me she had known three men with really big dicks. Whenever she told me about them she would get really turned on.

Last weekend we took a trip to Atlantic City. We were playing blackjack at the casino in our hotel when this guy sat next to Dana. We started talking, and he told us his name was Royce. When I asked him what he did, he said he’d been in a few porno movies.

After Dana and I went back to our room to get ready for dinner, she said, “I wonder if Royce has a big dick if he is in those movies.” I told her that guys in that business had to have big ones. I could tell she was thinking about it and getting turned on, so I said that if we saw him later that evening, we could ask him up to our room for a drink. Well, she went wild at the thought. We went to bed and had one hell of a fuck as we talked about what he would do to her with that big dick.

After dinner we went back to the casino, but we didn’t see Royce. After about an hour I went off to the restroom, and on my way back I saw him playing the slot machines. I walked over and asked how he was doing. He said he was doing badly. I told him we weren’t doing too well at blackjack either. Then I asked him if he would like to come to our room for a drink, and he said yes. You should have seen Dana’s face when I walked up to her with Royce and told her we were going upstairs.

When we got to the room, Royce said he would get the ice. When he left the room, Dana gave me a big kiss and asked me what she should do. I ran my hand over her pussy and told her I would take care of everything.

Royce was a lot younger then us, about twenty five, so I knew Dana was in for a good time. After a few drinks I asked him about some of the movies he had made. He said one of them had been very good because the woman really got into it. She was a good fuck, and it was a turn on for him. I told him we had seen a few porno movies, and most of the men had really big dicks. Then I asked him if his was big. He said it was a little bigger than average.

I looked at Dana, who hadn’t said a word, and I could see she was almost panting. So I said, “I bet Dana would like to see it, wouldn’t you, honey?”

Dana just nodded.

Royce looked at me. “It’s all right,” I told him. “Just take your pants off and show it to her.” Royce shrugged, then got up and pulled his pants down, and out fell his dick. It was not even hard, but it was so big and fat that my wife gasped. “Oh my god,” she said. “It’s as big around as my wrist!”

Royce was less hesitant now. He walked over to Dana. She reached out slowly and took hold of his dick, and then started to play with it. As she stroked it a drop of pre come oozed from the head. Dana bent down and brushed it off with her finger, then put the finger in her mouth.

I walked over to them and started to undress her, and Royce joined in. When we had stripped her naked, he took her in his arms and gave her a big long kiss as he slid his hardening dick between her legs. I could tell he was rubbing it on her love button, because she started to moan, then she stared to shake, and then she climaxed and went limp. Royce picked her up then and put her on the bed. She looked up at him in awe. “Fuck me Royce,” she moaned. “Please fuck me.”

Royce got between her legs as she raised her knees to make room for him. She closed her eyes as he put the big head of his prick at the entrance to her pussy. As it slid into her she looked at me and said, “Oh my god, it’s so big! It’s beautiful!”

Royce started to fuck her slowly, sliding more and more of his cock inside her with each stroke. Then he started to move faster. Dana arched her body, raising her ass from the bed to meet his thrusts. Then she was screaming, “Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me with that big dick!” She couldn’t stop screaming. She put her arms around his neck and her legs around his body, screaming out, “I’m coming, I’m coming, I can’t stop coming!”

Royce was fucking her with long hard strokes. As he started to come he pushed himself all the way into her, and Dana arched herself off the bed, straining to take it all. With a groan he fell on top of her, moving slowly now, in and out. Then he rolled off onto his side. “No, no!” Dana screamed. “Don’t take it away from me!”

Royce told her not to worry she was a great fuck and he was not done yet. She put her hand on his dick, which was still hard. She moved her head down to it and put as much of it into her mouth as she could, holding on to base with her hand.

When she took her mouth away she said, “Oh God, I have to have more, I can’t stop!” Then she got on top of him, straddling his body as she put his big dick back in her pussy, and she started to ride him like a madwoman, her head rolling wildly. “It’s so deep!” she screamed. “He’s fucking the hell out of me!” Then she started to moan from deep inside her body.

“Baby, I’m going to come with you,” Royce groaned.

“Yes, I can feel you coming!” Dana screamed. “I’m coming too, oh dear god, my whole body is coming!” She convulsed several times, then fell on top of him as she went limp.

Royce gently rolled her over and got up. Dana didn’t move. Her pussy was open and the bed was wet. Royce got dressed, and before he left he told her again what a great fuck she was. Dana just smiled and told him he wasn’t so bad either.

My wife Rhonda and I have been regular readers of your magazine all during our marriage, and with her permission and encouragement I have decided to share our story with you and your readers.

I am twenty nine and Rhonda is twenty seven. We will have been married seven years this coming July, and we have two children. Rhonda and I have known each other from the time we were in elementary school. Although she was two years behind me, we always got along together even then. I’ve heard that long term successful marriages are build on friendship, and if that is the case, our marriage should always be safe and secure. Don’t get me wrong I love Rhonda dearly. I think the sun rises and sets on her, and I know she loves me. But our relationship goes beyond that, and is not just based on a fleeting lust that may fade over time. She is my very best friend, and she says I am the one person in the world who truly understands her and accepts her just the way she is. She knows she can share her every thought, feeling and deed with me, and never has to worry about any judgmental reaction or recrimination on my part. In seven years of marriage we have not had one single serious argument, and I can’t imagine us ever having one. We talk to each other, we listen to each other, we understand each other and we like each other. Some of my friends and family members have trouble understanding why I even married Rhonda and why I stay married to her, but I never worry about what they think. If they want to be tied to conventional notions of morality and behavior, and refuse to understand that Rhonda makes me happy, and that I love being with her and married to her— then that is their problem, not mine!

One thing that even those people agree on about Rhonda is her looks. Rhonda is gorgeous. Not only does she have a beautiful face, big brown eyes and silky shoulder length hair she also has a body that just won’t quit! She stands five feet four and weighs one hundred eighteen pounds. Rhonda worries about her weight and over the past couple of years has occasionally said with chagrin that she has gotten fat. Well, if Rhonda has a weight problem I think most of the women in this country would love to have a similar problem. True, after four kids she is two inches larger around the waist, and her hips are a bit broader, but her already magnificent bust has also increased two inches since she’s had kids. I actually measured her recently when she complained about her figure. She measured 40 26 36!

Rhonda is not only one very sexy babe, she is one very highly sensual woman. She became sexually active in college, and once she discovered the joys of love, she absolutely couldn’t do without it. With her looks and seductive body men are always hitting on her, and with her high powered sex drive she is an easy target for good looking, powerfully built, well hung men. My wife has had numerous boyfriends and extramarital affairs during our years together. She’s never hid these from me in fact, I am a willing accomplice in her adulterous activities. I’ve watched her with other men on numerous occasions, helped her select just the right outfits for going out with other men, and I willingly wait at home baby sitting the kids while Rhonda is out on dates. When she gets home, or when her lovers leave after being entertained by her in our bedroom, she tells me every intimate and juicy detail of what she did with her paramours. Rhonda loves it when I go down on her after she has been with another man, and we usually do a 69 after she’s just been laid. She will eagerly suck my cock, swallowing my load while I willingly eat out her juicy snatch, lapping up the sperm her lover has deposited in her cunt.

We did not really talk about it, but I think both of us instinctively knew things would be this way when we were married. I knew how wild Rhonda had been during her college years, and how wantonly she had behaved after she had graduated. Without either of us saying so, I think we understood that it was unlikely she could go from being such a promiscuous girl to a monogamous married woman. When we began dating seriously during my last year of college, I soon came to realize that all the rumors I’d heard were true, and she indeed was no longer the innocent straitlaced virgin I’d dated a few times in high school. Then all I ever got from her was a good night kiss. When I took her out again when she was nineteen, she directed me where to go parking.

Once we were there, she was all over me. Within minutes she was unbuttoning my shirt and unzipping my pants, while quickly shedding her own clothes. She also demonstrated how prepared she was by fishing in her purse and pulling out a condom. As she opened it and peeled it down over my cock, she calmly told me she’d been carrying them with her on all her dates since the previous year, when she’d gotten pregnant by one of four different guys she’d been with. She’d had an abortion, and had been carrying condoms ever since.

When she got the condom on my cock, she knelt over me, straddling my hips, and lowered her cunt down on my prick. I was very excited, and went off in only a few minutes. Rhonda was not done though. She peeled off my rubber, tossed it out the car window and then lowered her mouth to my slick prick. She licked me clean, sucked me to hardness, and rolled on another rubber. I lasted longer that time. Rhonda shuddered in orgasm before I filled the second rubber with come.

We began dating regularly, and sex was a part of every date. Rhonda still saw other guys as well. She willingly told me about the men she went out with, and when I asked, she confirmed that she had had sex with them. She also told me about riding around on nights when she didn’t have a date, usually picking up some guy who she would wind up having sex with. She began getting very graphic about the details of what she did, and she noticed I’d always get rock hard hearing about it. Neither of us said it, but it was obvious she was awakening my latent and undiscovered voyeuristic nature.

We became engaged that spring, but Rhonda continued fucking other guys. Some of my friends were shocked when they heard I was going to marry her. They told me she was a slut and that I should break it off.

Two of my friends, Larry and Paul, even made it a point to let me know that they screwed Rhonda after we were engaged. They thought that would wake me up and cause me to call off the engagement. But the fact was that Rhonda had already told me about both incidents.

If there was any question about whether things would change after we were married, it was answered only two weeks after our wedding. Danny, another friend of mine, was over at our place on a Saturday afternoon. Our area had one of the few drive in movies still open, and as darkness approached the three of us decided to go to the show.

At intermission I went to the snack bar to get some popcorn and Cokes. When I got back to the car, Danny and Rhonda were making out. I knew Danny had screwed Rhonda before I married her, but I hadn’t thought about it happening after she had become my wife. When I left them alone in the car, I wasn’t expecting anything to happen between them, especially since they knew I was coming back right away. When I got back to the car though, they were kissing and groping each other, and clearly were very turned on. They both glanced at me briefly as I got in the car, and then immediately went back to making out.

As I settled in beside them, Danny reached down beside the passenger seat and pulled the lever that let the back of the seat down to the reclining position. Rhonda was on her back now, and Danny was on top of her as they kissed. She was moaning and squirming, obviously extremely turned on. The crotch of Danny’s jeans showed an ominous bulge, and Rhonda was hunching her crotch frantically against that burgeoning erection.

After a minute Danny pulled her blouse out of the waist of her jeans, unbuttoned it and freed her breasts from her bra. I watched intently as my friend made a meal out of my bride’s large full titties.

He then unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans. He reached down to her feet, pulled off her sneakers and then began tugging at the jeans. Rhonda lifted her hips to help facilitate their removal. They were so skintight that she had to help him get them over her hips. She wiggled her sexy butt and squirmed as she helped him pull them down. Her cotton panties slipped down to her upper thighs as the jeans were lowered. Danny finally pulled them off her feet, and peeled the white cotton panties off as well.

I was watching intently and rubbing my rock hard prick through the crotch of my own jeans. Danny was undoing his pants, then pushing them to his knees, along with his undershorts. He pumped his cock a few times to bring it to full hardness, and then aimed it at Rhonda’s exposed furry gash.

Rhonda put her feet up on the dashboard, legs splayed wide as Danny prepared to mount her. Danny did not even put on a rubber. He brought his thick bare cock to Rhonda’s opening and pushed inside. I saw my wife’s feet quiver as he jammed his huge cock up into her cunt. He was much better endowed than I was, but my bride’s experienced cunt took all of it very easily. Rhonda groaned, grasped at Danny’s back and began hunching up at him as he fucked her. By this time the car windows were all steamed up and the pervasive odor of hot pussy filled the space. As they humped each other I could actually feel the car rocking on its springs. I rubbed my hard on more vigorously as I watched them rush toward their climaxes. Finally Rhonda moaned loudly. Her body shuddered, and I saw her toes curl with her orgasm. That set Danny off also. He rammed his thick cock in her cunt to the hilt, moaning as he blasted off inside her. I came in my pants, watching my friend pump my wife’s belly full of creamy seed. Danny and Rhonda kissed passionately, clinging to each other as they rode their mutual orgasm to its conclusion.

After they were done, Danny pulled his pants and shorts back up. But Rhonda didn’t even try to put her jeans back on she found her panties, pulled them up, and sat there through the rest of the movie in her blouse and underpants. The smell of raw sex and pungent sperm filled the car.

After the movie we drove back to our house, and my panty clad wife, with her wadded up bluejeans under her arm, kissed my friend good bye in our front yard before he got into his car and went home.

When we got into bed Rhonda and I began kissing. Then she pushed me down on my back and hitched herself up until her pussy was over my face. I could tell what she wanted, but I was reluctant at first. Finally I very gingerly stuck out my tongue and tasted her cunt. It had a funky, musky flavor, and I can’t say I found it really agreeable at the beginning. I kept at it though, and soon she was hunching her sperm saturated pussy against my probing tongue. When she climaxed, great gobs of stale male sperm and female come gushed out and flooded my mouth.

Rhonda then returned the favor. She took my sticky come crusted cock in her mouth and sucked me off. As we cuddled and fell asleep, both of us knew that the rules and lifestyle of our marriage had been established.

When I came home from work Monday evening, Rhonda informed me that Danny had been by that afternoon. She readily admitted she’d had sex with him in our marital bed while I was at work. Before we even ate supper, she dragged me into the bedroom. She quickly had me all worked up. When we were naked, she again climbed atop me, this time in a 69 position, and lowered her mouth to my crotch. As she took my prick in her mouth, she mashed her crotch down on my face. Her dark curly pubic hair was laced with flecks of dried come. She had not showered or douched, and her twat was still full of Danny’s come. She smelled really funky, but I was getting to like it. She slurped down my load when I came, and when she climaxed, her juices, blended with Danny’s come, again drenched my face.

When Danny told some of the guys he had bedded Rhonda even after she was married, the word spread like wildfire. Our house became a favorite spot to visit while I was at work.

Each evening Rhonda would tell me who had come by and fucked her while I was out working. Some days there were more than one. She would describe in graphic detail everything that had gone on. And every evening I would end up licking her come filled cunt as she sucked me off.

Guys would also come over and have sex with Rhonda while I was at home. They would usually fuck her in our marital bed while I waited in the living room. Occasionally one of them would take her right in the living room while I was present. I would watch intently and jerk off, finally coming into a tissue while I watched another man pump his creamy load up my wife’s cunt.

After we’d been married about two and a half years I changed jobs, and we moved from our hometown to a different city. It took my horny wife less than a month to find a new lover, and within three months she was seeing at least four different guys.

It was along about then that Rhonda began going out on regular dates. Preparing for an evening out, she would hold up one of her short dresses, asking me if I thought her boyfriend would like her in it. I would then stay home baby sitting while my wife was out on her date. When she got home she would tell me everything they did. Then, of course, I would go down on her and lick her pussy while it was full of her lover’s semen. That has been our lifestyle ever since.

As I said, a lot of people don’t understand why I want to be married to a girl like Rhonda, but the fact is she makes me happier than I ever thought I would be, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
