Midlife Cravings
Michael and Sarah had been married for 25 years. They were both 45 and felt like they needed a new thrill in their lives. At work, Michael met James, who was also 45, and his wife Mary, who was 43. They quickly became good friends.
One night over dinner at a nice restaurant, the couples talked about their lives and noticed that they all had similar interests. During the conversation, the idea of swapping partners came up. At first, everyone laughed it off as an absurd notion, but as the evening wore on, Michael and Sarah couldn’t get the idea out of their minds.
They all went back to each other’s houses after dinner and spent some time chatting and getting comfortable in each other’s spaces. Then, James and Mary suggested that they take things further and have a foursome. After a few minutes of discussion, everyone agreed that it was worth a try.
Michael was nervous about sleeping with someone else for the first time since college, but Sarah was excited to explore this new adventure with him. They spent an evening in each other’s beds, swapping partners and trying out different positions.
The next morning, they all woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. James and Mary were surprised at how much they enjoyed the experience, and Michael and Sarah felt like their marriage had been reinvigorated by this new chapter in their lives. They agreed to make the arrangement a regular part of their social life from now on.
