Explain it rationally isn’t easy at all. With an emphasis on rational.
There are a number of less rational or additional reasons for sharing her. I'll leave those aside for now.
I thought about it a lot and discussed it with my wife. But we couldn't come to a conclusion, so my wife said:
‘What does it matter? We enjoy it and that's the most important thing.’
Nevertheless, I would like to try again, even though I might not succeed.
I apologise for it being much longer than I intended.
Here we go.
Even before we got married, it was very clear that my future wife enjoyed being the centre of attention. Given her constant smile, this was understandable.
However, when I started university, I wanted to end our relationship because I didn't want to hurt her by seeing other girls.
My future wife thought this was a strange idea.
“Of course I understand that you don't want to live like a hermit and that you want to date other girls, but that argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I believe we are destined to be together, so why would you want to break up?”
In short, I was free to do as I pleased.
However, I couldn't resist telling her about all my escapades, some of which were painful for her to hear about. I wanted just to be honest.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT HER ATTITUDE IN THIS MATTER WAS THE BASIS FOR BUILDING COMPLETE TRUST IN EACH OTHER. Very rational I think.
Then, after two-three decades, the moment comes when, while I am having intercourse with her, she asks me if I have ever imagined having intercourse with another woman. (That is not to say that there were no sexual encounters during that period, however.)
I answered 'never, I’m very happy with you', and of course I asked her the same question.
'Yes, I've had those thoughts,' she, after some hesitation, replied honestly.
However, she did not want to say with whom. It was several men. Men I knew. I knew some of them very well.
She said, “The idea of ...... with another man really turns me on. If it would actually happen, would you be very angry with me?”
I gave her a clear answer: “As long as you keep me informed, preferably in detail, I won't get angry. You can hold me to that promise.”
Still rational I think but I agree when somebody argues it isn’t usual.
I clearly remember when she (yes she) suggested that we visit a sex club. From that very first visit onwards, our lives changed completely.
My wife clearly enjoyed having sex with both men and sometimes women.
It was as if it was an usual part of her life and she was glad to have it.
No, we both enjoyed it.
Again, still very rational I think but I agree it isn’t usual in our society.
Of course, we talked a lot about details and why we liked them.
These details are additional and I liked very much to read them in this thread. We had the same experiences.
To conclude, I have attached two pictures.
The first shows how we lived together.
The second shows my place in our secret life.
