or seduce a stranger on the street “If you love me,” the man says, “we’ll answer that ad in the swingers’ newspaper for a nice quiet little four-way orgy.” It is not that he loves her less; but if she will help him put a little more space and air into the marriage, he will love her more.
    To the woman, it’s crazy to think she would be showing her love by accompanying him to an orgy. Anything that threatens to divide her from him, that weakens the bonds between them, is frightening. She has been trained in symbio-Nancy Friday

    sis, to see her love expressed not by taking an independent road, but by being a faithful partner.
    Even his fantasies about imaginary women – she knows what he’s really thinking about Charlie’s Angels – hurt her feelings. “I suppose you’d really like to have sex with one of them, not me!” she cries, knowing it sounds silly, but unable to contain the fear that any attraction on his part to another woman inevitably means he will desert her.
    Oh, she has her own stray and randy thoughts, all right.
    But the only way she could go to an orgy with him would be if she didn’t love him at all.
    Ironically, this feminine training that says love is best demonstrated by being tied to the man as tightly as possible can lead women to want to share their fantasies with him.
    She doesn’t want to hear his about the blonde next door, because that separates him from her; but to keep something from him as intimate as her erotic reveries – to have any part of her not totally permeated by him – is too lonely. Mrs. Leon (below) feels safe enough with her own fantasies; after all, they are not about leaving Mr. Leon. And even if they were, she knows it is only a passing whimsy and not what she wants in real life. She tells them to him. Leon tells us he was so excited by this evidence that she had a sexual life of her own that he “came as soon as she touched me.” One would think this would be all the encouragement Leon would need to reveal his fantasies, but he holds back.
    Nobody knows Mrs. Leon better than he does, and while something in her felt it would be okay to tell him, some thing in him senses turn-about might not be a good idea. Sexual fantasies release powerful, unpredictable energies. Once the imp is let out of the bottle, once fantasies are told to someone else, they pass out of your control. The ideas may never be forgiven or forgotten. Leon isn’t sure his wife could handle these ideas he has about peeing on her, and about homosexual intercourse. So far he hasn’t “had the guts to tell her.” I wouldn’t call it “guts” – I’d say it is probably wisdom.

    LEON

    Up until now I worried that I was becoming perverted. I have been married for seventeen years and have enjoyed a satisfactory sex life.
    However, last week during a lovemaking session, my wife confided in me about some of her fantasies. At first I thought that it was a joke, but it really turned me on. She admitted that although she was not queer, she often thought of sixty-nine with another woman. While I was at work, she often thought of having her pussy licked by a huge dog. Although she has enjoyed oral sex with me for a number of years, she admitted that she often thought of strangers as she masturbated in the afternoon. She got me so hot, telling me the things that she wanted done to her and the things that she wanted to do to me and the things she wanted to see me do, that I came as soon as she touched me.
    Later, she lay in my arms, too tired to do anything but talk.
    She said that your books made her realize that she was not alone in her erotic thoughts. When she asked me how I felt about it, I was reluctant to tell her some of my fantasies. At her prodding I swallowed my pride and told her what excited me, but had not had the nerve to tell her or anyone. I thought that it was okay for her to suck pussy, because I enjoyed it myself, but sometimes I fantasized that I wanted
