Mistress and her "Back Burners".

Things have cooled off here in the heartland. Temperatures fell over the weekend, leaving our painter scrambling to finish his work before the snow falls. He's been at it for what seems like months now, sort of like that character in Murphy Brown who never seemed to finish painting her apartment. (Did they end up moving in together?  I lose touch?)

Last evening, at the end of our work day, Mistress and Slave found ourselves in beg, having some "cocktail hour sex" to the sound of him scraping outside our bedroom window.  Fortunately, we do have effective blinds. Hopefully he could not hear us as well as we could here him.

But the day's blog is not so much about fucking to the sound of a paint scraper, but an article I noticed last week in the Washington Post that reminded me of Mistress's active "virtual" social life. Here is a link to the article: Back up husbands and the rise of digital infidelity.  

Here is a little snippet:

A new study by researchers at the University of Indiana found that Facebook users in relationships frequently use the site to keep in touch with “back-burners” — exes or platonic friends they know they could connect with romantically, should their current relationships go south. Men have back-burners at roughly twice the rate of women, the study found. But among both genders, the practice is widespread: On average, respondents in relationships said they had romantic or sexual conversations with two people (!) besides their current partner.

That comes on top of a a recent release by the research agency OnePoll, which suggested as many as half of all women keep in touch with a “back-up husband” they could contact if their current husband doesn’t work out. (“With sites like Facebook and Twitter, it’s easier than ever to stay in touch with an old flame,” a OnePoll rep told the Daily Mail.)

Of course, we're not talking about infidelity in this case. Mistress has the contractual right to "mess around", and slave has no complaints. Indeed unlike the folks described in this article, Mistress is more than happy to share the details of her texting and facebook messaging with past or potential suitors.

But what's wrong with being in touch with past or potential prospects for filling the role of "cuckolder" when you are a hot and sexy wife and Mistress.

Last week Mistress mentioned that she heard via facebook from the guy we called "E" back in the day when this blog got started. E was married then. Since then he's been divorced, in a relationship, and now apparently loose again. And trying to rekindle with Mistress the flame he sparked a few years ago. 

"How did you handle that Mistress?"

"I told him to get over it, Slave."

"Seems reasonable, Mistress.... he'd just freak out again when you called his bluff."

I guess he's someone who saw Mistress as a "back burner". But she's not playing the game.

Then there is Mr. Perfect Cock, who has been in touch on and off in recent weeks.

"He is pretty hot, Slave....."

So maybe Mistress sees MPC as a "back burner" depending on how things go with Jay?

She also was on Facebook last night, checking out a guy she has worked with  and also serendipitously encountered via Ashley Madison.

"He must have gone on that trip to Florida with some woman. When I had a drink with him a couple of weeks ago he was trying to cancel the flight...."

See, isn't it nice Mistress can share all this stuff with her husband / slave?

 She doesn't have to slide into the ladies room to check for the latest enticing text message.
