Excerpt
It was about to be yet another round of completely predictable ‘married for 25 years’ Saturday night sex. I lay in bed with no particular motivation, wondering if Marjorie was as bored and eager to add a spark to our sex life as me. It seemed that our life together was no longer about us, but instead, revolved around work, kids, house, college bills, and a whole lot of other things. It struck me that we had become like two old mules in a harness, pulling a wagon day after day, but never looking at each other. I felt sadness and frustration about that situation.
Bucking up my courage, I turned to her. “Marge have you ever thought about us doing something to jazz up our sex life?”
She stared at me with a ‘deer in the headlights’ look momentarily before answering me. “So, you want me to buy leather underwear, put a mirror over our bed, and start chaining you to the wall?”
“No honey, I’m serious. Does it not seem to you that we’re in a rut?”
“Jim, where are you going with this?”
I shook my head, having been caught speaking out without having my thoughts in order. “I don’t know, what do other people our age do to keep things from getting stale?”
“Is that where we are Jim? We’re ‘stale’?”
I reached over and pulled us together. “Look, ‘old girl’ we’ve been together for more than twenty five years and things aren’t like they were when we were young.” I reached down and began to fondle her. “Like when we’d go to the drive in movie and you’d let me feel you up.” She pushed my hand away and pulled our bodies together.
She laughed, “That was fun. We were what? Eighteen? Nineteen? You could get me so hot, but I was determined not to go all the way with you until we were married.”
“You almost made that one.”
