It's amusing to find that the story that has the most truth, at least in the beginning, is the hardest to continue. The beginning, including the nicely arranged dildos, was indeed mostly the honeymoon of my second marriage. Some later events are true, and those that are "do overs" do reflect actual desires of one or both of us.
OTOH, the Le Marquis series has an internal consistency that my marriage lacked.
