It was decades ago, but I successfully lived with a woman in a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment without sex. We got along great for 6 months sharing bills and chores. It fell apart when her boyfriend moved in from the other side of the country. Mostly money issues. We all vacated the apartment at the same time. They rented a house and I rented a one BR and we stayed friends.

Everyone's opinion has been very helpful. I have actually started talking to mu husband about having more sex and he said he would try. But so far everything is status quo. No extra effort yet. Not even when I touch him in the morning.


It still doesn't sound like you've let him know what the stakes are. If you want to be able to stray without total responsibility for the consequences, you want his informed consent. You want more sex or permission to stray or a divorce. You can leave the divorce as an implied outcome if you don't get either of the first two options, but the guilt you'll bear if he catches you straying without permission will be on your head if you don't make it clear enough that you're not getting enough. It's really quite simple. You say, "I'm not getting enough sex from you. Is it okay if I get some on the side?" That should make it clear to him that he needs to take your needs seriously.

If he says no, then he better please you or he's giving you reason for divorce, not cheating, because cheating can cause so much more harm to both of you than divorce. If he says yes with the caveat that he can also get some elsewhere, then you'll have to decide whether that's acceptable. If he says yes without caveats, then it will be informed consent.

You're getting an opportunity to act like an adult here. If the tables were turned, would it be okay for him to run around behind your back?
Yep, naked. Both of us. Even in the winter when we switch to flannel sheets.
Sometimes introverts can't find good jobs so they take whatever job they can get.In some of those jobs, they meet a lot of extroverts who drive them crazy. Extroverts drain the emotional batteries of introverts. Introverts treasure their space and feel that unnecessary intrusions are not something that extroverts have a right to. So introverts sometimes act grumpy as a defense mechanism. They don't usually turn violent, but they can when they never get a chance to be alone long enough to recharge their battery.
Some grammatical errors jump right out at me and throw me off, but bad grammar is sometimes a characteristic of the character and helps to add realism to the story. So rather than stumble, it adds to the mood. It's probably more negative than positive in most cases.
Distract yourself by thinking about something boring or unpleasant. Use a condom. Focus your mind on that spider crawling across the ceiling or on the neighbor's dog barking. They keep you from enjoying the sex much, but women don't like hearing, "You're just so damn sexy, I couldn't wait."
I've never tried it and I can't really see the point. I have a mental block to people knowing when I'm masturbating and I also think it would cross the cheating line.

On top of that, I type too slowly and habitually precisely and I can only imagine how much slower and more distracting it would be to type one-handed.

I would enjoy knowing that anyone (F or M) got off on one of my stories. That would not cross the cheating line because the stories aren't targeted at a specific person.
Does a novel count as one story or does each chapter count as a story? I think I'll go with each chapter of a novel or series counting as a story but then put the number of series in that category in (). I guess I also need to keep in mind that within novels and series, there are bits that would fit in other categories (egs. lesbian, first time, cuckold)

Novels: 20 (3)
Crossdressing: 9 (1)
Wife Loving: 2 (1)
Straight: 6 (1)
Love stories: 4 (1)
Masturbation: 1

I notice when a woman's hair doesn't fit her face. I also notice red hair more quickly and from a greater distance. I've been smote by redheads and brunettes, but not blondes. I don't know if that's related to hair color, though.
The saying "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" might apply. Neither you nor your husband can control what either of you desire and by the same token, he can't control what he would desire if he caught you being unfaithful.

So, you've flirted with this guy. How would you feel if your husband flirted with someone?

Perhaps you've crossed another line by mutually fantasizing with this guy. How would you feel if your husband did the same with someone?

Would you give your husband the same "free pass" that you want to give yourself?

The line is crossed when something of you that is presumed reserved for your spouse is given to another. There might have been a phrase in your wedding vows like, "forsaking all others". Your spouse can't presume to have your mind reserved, because you can't control what you desire, but he/she can presume to have your body reserved. So mutual agreement on what to presume reserved is required.

But then there's another saying. "It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission." You might want to ask yourself if that would be true in your case.
1) Yes.
2) Not unless I'm having sex with another woman.
3) No.

however if you are avoiding sex with me

it pisses me off


I've been wondering since I read this why he would be avoiding sex with you.
Sometimes the curious scientist in me leaks out. Do you have to factor in the effects of nipple erection? Does that change the diameter? The volume that the pastie has to contain? The requirements for the binding agent that holds them in place?
It's an interesting question and, assuming it's okay for a guy to comment, it depends on on whether you think fucked implies penetration. A person who was speared or stabbed couldn't really say they speared or stabbed the guy who speared or stabbed them. Even if they very actively assisted in their impalement, it would still have to be something like "I thrust myself upon his spear". But that's all just semantics. Since fuck has become such a flexible word, you can even say "we fucked" and although penetration is implied, who penetrated whom becomes irrelevant or presumed. But the intent of words is to convey information. If I hear a woman say "I fucked him" and she doesn't add "in the ass", I assume she meant she actively impaled herself with his cock.

And don't worry about all the haters on here. They've obviously never been in this situation. If they had been they would never have the nerve to blame you for not "pleasing" him right or not "talking" to him, etc...


I don't think it's fair to call someone a hater just because they gave advice that was different than your advice. My advice was to protect herself from the consequences that infidelity without permission morally (and in some cases legally) justifies. If you violate the terms of a contract, that has a different set of risks and potential consequences than dissolving the contract (divorce). Actions invite consequences and choosing the actions that protect the moral high ground is a strategy for avoiding the consequences of the other options.

Should I or am I asking for trouble? What does everyone think?


My opinion is that you should ask for permission to break your marriage vows and have sex with others and allow him the same option. Don't be specific about who, because that is not his business. If you don't get permission, and he doesn't become a better lover, either get a divorce or don't stray. You only have a right to get out of a marriage that isn't working, not to cuckold an unwilling husband. To stay in your marriage and have sex elsewhere without permission is a violation of your vows and gives him moral license to be very nasty in the divorce if he finds out.
Four. The first offered chance to lose my virginity. The rest were women I was willing to try for a long term relationship with. I think a slut is someone who has sex with no intent to attempt a long term relationship. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think its funny that i just read another thread similar situation, married, not getting laid, the only difference was that the one saying "should i cheat?" was a guy and all the girls and guys jump at him saying he was dumb, a bastard and an asshole.63TCmwx2uc3RLUN7

LOL read here if you wanna see the other side of the coin http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst21659_What39s-your-view-on-married-men-seeking-casual-sex.aspx


That was so honest and real that I just had to see it posted again. Thanks.

Do the scores on the piece even matter to you, or is it just the fact that at least one person liked it?


It would be hard for me to say that the scores don't matter if I bother to check them. I wouldn't check them if they didn't at least have some curiosity value. But I got my first 2 vote on a story today and I was thrilled. I wouldn't have been thrilled if the story wasn't in the novels category, but since it is and since it deals with some emotional nastiness, I got to think that maybe I really upset someone who needed upsetting.
Bang? Less than 10 minutes. If I take too long, my arthritis flares up and kills my erection. It's kind of a PITA, but we've worked around it.
1. Stories by the authors I follow. The follow function makes sure I don't miss stories by the authors I enjoy reading.
2. Stories by friends, but there is a lot of crossover between them and the authors I follow.
3. Stories that start with a great hook in the title, tags, one-liner, or first few lines, although I usually skip the stories in categories that seem to have few gems. I like novels.
It's been so long since I've had sex with anyone other than my wife, I can only speak to that standard. If a guy wants to avoid making waves, he will not be more honest than the gal can be trusted to appreciate. In other words, If he thinks there will be negative repercussions if he's honest low, he will exaggerate high. There's no benefit to being too honest.

Yes, this was actually done recently, and their (very good) work was deleted.


I wasn't aware of anyone being caught with multiple profiles. That rule must be pretty hard on those with multiple personality disorder.



I do think avatars with boobies or girls' bums in them get more hits automatically, so maybe you might want to try that path if you are wanting to self-promote (nothing wrong with that).


I doubt that showing my boobies would gain me any hits and showing my bum might send the wrong message. ;)

I think more readers here have a bias for reading women than for reading men. Avatars or usernames that reveal (purported) gender play to that bias and that's fine. It gives men the option of claiming that their readership is low because of the bias rather than because they suck as writers.

I like the follow function here because all it does is let you know that a chosen author posted a new story. I never miss a story by a favorite author if I follow them.
Quote by CumGirl
For me, great writing is about the person behind the words, rather than simply just the narrative tale unfolding before me. One of my constant criticisms of much erotica is that it consists of cliched storytelling and two dimensional characters. When I read great fiction, whether classic or contemporary, I find the author revealed through their work ... you simply cannot read Austen, Chandler, Hardy, Faulkner, (et al) and the thousands of brilliant contemporary authors without coming to understand some of what are the issues that rattle around inside their brain. For me, writing erotica involves similar contemplative thought and through all of my writing (both poetic and prose) I am always looking to communicate some aspects of my character and some of the issues that infiltrate my musings.


I agree wholeheartedly. I would even say that authors of fiction that is really out there (egs. J.R.R. Tolkein, H.G. Wells) reveal much about themselves in their works.
I prefer the slow burn, but I'm also a writer. You'll be doing yourself a favor if you just focus on having fun writing. Experiment if you want or stick to a winning formula if that's what does it for you.
Quote by Sensei

I would suspect that there may be a gender difference at work. I would posit that females here get a far, far different experience than males in terms of the level and character of inquiries.


It would be easy to test that by creating a second profile with the opposite gender and writing a few stories. I wonder if any authors here have already done that. Plenty of women in mainstream lit and SF have written as men, thinking it would increase their chances of getting published. I think that was way more common when I was a lot younger.
In my stories, I am often very deliberately confronting my personal demons, revealing much about how my brain works and displaying my insecurities and complexes. Perhaps that is scaring away the potentially curious. I haven't had any "fans" probing for more intimate knowledge of me, but I don't have many followers or friends and I'm not sure if that's personal or because my stories don't inspire them. Maybe I've done something to alienate even the harmless among the curious, which is not intentional, but I do have to protect my privacy.
