I have a few questions about pursuing this “adventure”. My husband and I have been together ten years, married for 3.5. Great sex life, by the way. Here’s my story:
I was bisexual when I met my husband. He loved the idea at first, but then it got personal – he was only ok with it as long as he was involved. The girl I was with at the time is my best friend to this day. She’s married, by the way, and her husband doesn’t know about her past with me. She wants to get back together, but she doesn’t want my husband involved. I don’t want to do it behind his back, because I wouldn’t want him doing it behind my back. We had a threesome about seven years ago with the same girl – my best friend. My husband was jealous that I liked being with her more than with him. I loved both!
Recently, we’ve been getting back into the discussion of not necessarily opening the relationship, but having another threesome. Because he and I are only ok with it as long as we’re both involved – every time.

Uhm… she enjoys having sex with her best friend more than her husband? Her best friend hasn’t told HER husband? Have they considered divorcing their husbands and marrying each other? Yeesh. If nothing else, I’d start with being honest with the other girl’s husband, for crying out loud.

yes i think it is a wonderful idea to try !It is really wonderful and thrilling to read about people finding all kinds of ways to up the ante when going into heat and going after a thrilling orgasm.

Yeah, she’s not being honest with herself… about the friend
My gut says - Why would someone be OK with their wife getting back into an on-going (back together not hookup right) sexual relationship with their ex-boyfriend?
Perhaps I’m not fluent with the dynamics of more open relationships, but he is still her primary partner, and her enjoying sex *more* with her friend just seems out of place.
It’s not like there is a mention of other third parties in play… it’s all about this specific woman, who she was in a relationship with before, who is now only? her best friend, but they have included previously, and now wants something more ongoing (but hasn’t told her own husband)… which sounds like a lot more than she is stating here [did she marry the wrong person?]
