Chapter 7: Mom’s “Family” Relationships

Once my parents got married, they immediately stopped having sex with people outside their families. To them it was a pretty straightforward decision because to do otherwise would go directly against God’s commandment against adultery. I know that people debate a lot of the Old Testament rules as being cultural, out-of-date, etc. but the Ten Commandments were non-negotiable so far as my parents were concerned. Given the commandment doesn’t say that adultery is alright IF your husband or wife gives permission, they didn’t swing either.

So far as sex within their families was concerned, my dad kept fucking Linda regularly but his brother and my mom grew more distant, at least sexually. I’m not really sure why, my mom never really liked to talk about it. Personally, I think it was because the girl he was dating, and eventually married, was extremely religious and ultra-straight when it came to sex. Had she ever found out that he was fucking his brother’s wife, I’m sure she would have never seen him again. It also didn’t help that he didn’t take care of himself like my dad did, gaining a significant beer belly and becoming quite an asshole as the years went by.
