What Women Want....

Slave spent most of the day driving our cute Co-Ed #2 to the east coast for her timely return to her "studies", which frees up her parents for a little more private fun in our (finally) empty nest. Now I'm sitting at the local airport, waiting for my flight back to the heartland.

Poor Mistress has to venture out into the night to pick me up! But she at least got spared the long drive, and unloading  all that dorm room stuffing from the car that our daughter gets to keep on campus this semester.

Of course, our very early departure this morning ruled out our typical wake up sex. And I have a feeling tonight may be a little lean too. The most unfortunate part is that while Mistress had a breakfast date with her lover Jay this morning, his inability to find someone to watch his son foreclosed her chance for some "cat's away" play in my absence.

Poor Mistress. I wonder if she dusted off her favorite power tool?

At least Mistress has a session with her backbench lover K set up this coming week before the two of us head on Thursday for a ski break at our SW hideaway.

Of course, not everyone gets the cuckold dynamic, Jay least of all. But yesterday I came upon this article titled What Women Want... a Primer, which summarizes some research that seems to validate our own somewhat unusual lifestyle... with Mistress enjoying the privilege of the company of other men that catch her fancy.

The article, based on scientific and anthropological research suggests that the conventional wisdom that women long for a simple, monogamous, long term relationship where they can raise and nurture their children is a lot of malarkey.  I won't highlight all the points made ... read the article! But here are two highlights that relate to the cuckold dynamic:

3. Monogamy turns women off.

After one to four years of monogamy, a woman's desire for her partner drops far more dramatically than a man's. (This effect is markedly reduced if the couple lives apart.) The once white-hot passion of early love often turns into muted, dutiful sex or trying to avoid sex altogether. One woman in the book described marital sex thus: “My body would respond, but the pleasure was like the pleasure of returning library books.”

5. A woman's desire is stoked by sex with strangers, not a devoted soul mate.

Women like novelty. They like it in pornography, in their sexual encounters and in lovers. A sexually sated female scorpion (smoking her tiny scorpion cigarette) will not want to have sex with the same scorpion until 48 hours later. But give her a sexy new scorpion lover and she's ready to go in an hour and half.  The matriarchal Mosuo tribe accommodates this desire by providing females with a flower room where they can privately receive their lovers. See also: Five Things We Know About Societies Run By Women. In other words, that book Porn for Women featuring pictures of men doing housework is not only a tired one-joke premise, but crap biologically as well.

So the research that this article references coincides precisely with Slave's contractual agreement  to let Mistress "step out" from time to time and enjoy the company of "strangers", as well as my "ready steady" marital ministrations. If Mistress has a little extra spring in her step, or sway to her hips, when she contemplates an afternoon with a younger or more athletic lover, or if her mind drifts off to her last "workout" with Jay when slave tends to her clean shaven folds, she's just following her natural instincts, rather than repressing them.

Of course, none of this explains why Slave gets an erotic thrill of his own when she shares the details of her sexcapades, or shares her upcoming plans.

I guess that's the subject for a separate dissertation. 

Post Script:

Slave made it home safely last night from my east coast odyssey. Mistress confirmed that she used her power tool as a replacement for my conjugual ministrations yesterday morning.  Should I be worried? Machines are so much more efficient!
