Hi guys,

Short version,, recovery going great 2.5 years into recovery, more in love with hubby then ever. Trust returning, SF at all time high,, theres the rub,, the last several days I find myself wondering if SF with me is as good/better then FOW. I've been only with hubby for almost 30 yrs, can't imagine what sex would be like with anyone else (don't want to know lol) but I wonder what was it like for him?? Don't say ask him 'cause that ain't gonna happen... I read Larry's post on women and sex, is it simply a competion/safety thing where I feel that I have to be the best so he won't look elsewhere?? OK I asked what says you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Do something completely shocking next time ... KWIM?

lights on
another room
make a sexy phone call middle of the day

what most men want is an enthusiastic partner who they feel they can please.... be vocal about how he pleases you

Pep's right....the biggest advantages that affair sex has on marriage sex is novelty, spontaneity, enthusiasm and fantasy. Put those things INTO your marital sex....and you have the edge. You'll have all of the intimacy, bonding, and depth of marital sex....and all that other stuff too. So be unpredictable, risky, frisky....in a good way. Nobody knows how to stroke your husbands ego....and other stuff....quite like you do. He didn't marry you because you were second best. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dear faithful,

even my X who cheated on me with my BF.. who went to prostitutes, did dating sites etc etc...
Even he admitted at some point in our (false) recovery that sex still was better with me emotionally.
He said he had a hard time getting an orgasm with OWs.
Probably because it never really felt "right".
After all, the fact that he was cheating on me and basically was being the bad guy was always in the back of his mind.
With me, everything was in place, emotionally and physically.
There really is no "better" to that.

I have had a very good idea of what his A was like, since I found a video of them "going at it".
It wasn't any better or different than what we had had at our best moments.
But it felt (well, disregarding the obvious nausea for me) so hollow.. so cheap..

No orgasm can stand up to what the heart is saying.
