A newer friend here in Australia, also an expatriate, is trying to get pregnant just like me. Because I don't yet know her that well, to date we've not had any real girl-girl talk, but that changed recently. For the sake of convenience here, I'll call her Molly, although of course that's not her real name.
At one point in the conversation, Molly got a sheepish look and delicately asked whether we were having sex more often now than before in order to seed the garden. Without telling her how often, lest she think we were complete sex maniacs, I said nothing had really changed in that regard. She then broached cautiously the fact that her husband -- also an American, whom I'll call Mark here -- wanted to shag more frequently but she did not.
I've learned from previous experience that telling women I don't know too well about how much I love fucking usually isn't such a good idea. I followed that rule here and listened more than I spoke (not always easy for me to do).
Molly at about this point had nearly finished her glass of wine, which seemed to be loosening up her tongue. She then leaned forward and asked in a confidential voice something like, "does your husband ever want you to do weird sex things?"
With a sense Molly's definition of a weird sex thing might be different than mine, I simply asked, "what kind of things?"
She colored and mouthed "blow job."
I could no longer contain myself and blurted out something like, "oh, he doesn't have to ask -- I love giving him those."
She was somewhat horrified, like I had just confessed the pope had pooped in my ear, and asked why?
Well that was sort of like asking "explain the history of the world in one paragraph -- use examples."
So this is what I said, more or less: I see sex as a performance. Sex with someone you love is also a gift. Part of the pleasure is experiencing his pleasure at what you're giving him. Like an actor or a singer, when you give a great performance, you appreciate how much your audience enjoys it. Seeing his face, all his little spasms and moans while he's getting sucked, is a fantastic experience. The better you make it for him, the happier he is. By satisfying him, you satisfy yourself. In return, he's almost always more than eager to please you.
Alas, I don't think I closed the sale with her. I did not ask if he goes down on her. I'm guessing the answer is "no."
