Well, she has gone off to see him for a while this afternoon, but did tell me before she left that we should "have some time together later" so right now my little-head is telling me that maybe she's going to perhaps have sex with me more but obviously using condoms. That's where my optimistic thoughts are right now as my cock is rock hard.
The question of whether this is what I would want given her redefinition of terms and her focus on some sort of reality or permanence of things is something I have given thought to. I would be lying and foolish to say other than I am sure this has been on/in my mind since I "came out" with my beta desires.
So, I've been thinking about that. Yes, that is the same term that a gay person uses to describe when he accepts his/herself - and for me - I have to say now that it feels really nice. I can't explain it but I do love how I am feeling now and how things feel with Sue. Raks, I can't explain it and maybe it is something as Peak says that I may want to grow out of at some point - but right now, I am loving how I am feeling as the beta for her. I think for me, the thing that makes me believe this about myself and makes me understand that this is honestly something that turns me on is that for as crazy as it may sound, I love that only Paul can make her cum like crazy when they're fucking after he's cum in her and for as crazy as it sounds, it turns me on to no end that I have given that up with her and given that to him.
It's been 9 years now that I've been sorting my feelings out and I truly don't feel threatened by any of this in terms of our relationship. Perhaps as Peak says that will change if Paul is replaced by someone else, but for right now, it really feels right to me to let go of the reins for a little bit so I am truly thinking of telling her yes to her request. When we talked a bit more this morning she told me that "... what I want to feel between my legs has nothing to do with what I want to feel in my heart..." and she was very honest with me when she told me, starting last night and then this morning again, how horny she was and how she wanted to go see him. We were sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee and she said she wanted to feel that she could tell me how horny she was. After she told me she asked me if I liked knowing/hearing that and I told her an honest "yes" and I think i surprised her by saying that I wanted her to enjoy being with him.
I can't really explain it but as I said, I can understand how a gay person must feel when they are able to feel okay about how they feel. In that way I don't know that many here, especially not Raks and Peak, who will understand that I truly love knowing she is in bed with him right now. I admit it feels crazy to me at times, so Peak, I do feel what you're saying about understanding what and when I get lulled into agreeing with her. A part of me is genuinely concerned about what she is expressing and yes, what it might mean. But that is, for me balanced by what I feel from her when we talk openly and how despite some points of friction at times, that she does truly want to make this good for me. Although I will readily and openly admit as I've said to her that I'm a little scared at what she's referring to as this reality or permanence - I"m not sure I'm ready to say that it's truly my last time feeling her bare if it really could be. But yet at the same time, as scary as that sounds to me, at the same time I have to tell you that my cock is absolutely drooling right now thinking about it. As I said, it's a crazy feeling - but it honestly turns me on.
I know that I used to read some of the other posts with scorn, derision or disbelief that people really can adopt lifestyles that seem extreme, but now, as I've said before, I have a much better understanding of the arousal and understanding that can allow it to happen.
