Chapter 2: Careers Develop

Sheila, Patti, and Vee still worked at the senior living center. Patti had become the overall administrator. Sheila had been taking some counseling courses, more oriented towards lifestyles for the older person than therapy.

This facility met a mixture of needs. All of the residents were independent to some degree. They could get out for many local activities and limited travel. Some folks just needed a few of their daily needs taken care of, others needed a little more help, a few had mobility problems but their health otherwise was pretty good. There were no significant mental deterioration issues.

Sheila, being Sheila, studied sexual activity in seniors and did some surveys of the residents as part of a class project. She was quite surprised at the amount of interest that people she considered “old” still had in sex. The guys had plenty, based on how often she got hit on, but the women were very interested too. She decided the best way to learn more was to do one-on-one interviews with women volunteers ostensibly for her class project. But she had a different use in mind.

The women were quite candid when they were assured of anonymity and confidentiality. Here are some abstracts of the “case histories” Sheila collected:

Martha was 70 years old, the veteran of two marriages and now a widow for three years. A virgin when she met her first husband, she had remained monogamous except for a short unsatisfying fling between marriages. She missed sex but a couple of toys sufficed. Fairly slender with short grey hair.

Betty was a greying redhead of 64 years. Quite sexually experienced at 16, she’d lost four marriages because too many non-spousal cocks got between her legs. That had also cost her a few jobs when the peckers didn’t belong to men with the right influence. Her ample bosom, in addition to some organizational skills, had gotten her a job as an administrative assistant to the CEO of a sales driven company. He soon discovered her horizontal talents and she became a company “perk”. Her considerable rewards for personal services rendered to assist sales and other company goals had been wisely invested and she lived comfortably. Not wanting commitment, she was available to any “right guy” and had several, usually younger, regular visitors to her bed almost all the time. Sheila thought that Betty’s life would make a great porn flick.

Jennifer was only 50 but married to a 70 year old man for the last few years, mostly for financial security. Skinny with small boobs all her life. She’d married young but was abandoned by her first husband. In the second marriage, already a mother, her husband liked to share her with other guys. He’d leave her alone with a buddy now and then and she’d just fuck them since he wanted her to. One got her pregnant which she aborted and then got her tubes tied. Her second marriage died in an unusual way. She’d been fucking a divorced guy at work, usually on Friday before she came home. They’d have some wine and screw and play at watersports and such. Her husband knew about it and would enjoy “seconds” when she got home. Well, the work affair got her fired and she came home early to find her husband balls deep in her mom who lived with them. It wasn’t that he was screwing, or even that it was her mom, it was that he was “cheating” by not at least telling her. She waited until her daughter got home from school and they took off to start a new life. She’d had assorted fuck buddies but nothing serious until this marriage. Her current husband, the third, only wanted sex once or twice a month which left her pretty horny.

Mary was 66 and still married to her first husband. He had gotten her cherry but she’d dated and banged a couple of other guys before they got serious and wed. Her husband had lost sexual interest in her a few years ago and she was pretty frustrated but wanted to be faithful. Slender because she worked out regularly. Attractive with short dyed blond hair.

Mary’s best friend Roberta had just the opposite situation. No sex prior to marriage and got only minimal pleasure from the act since. She wasn’t interested in sex anymore but her husband kept after her. It was a source of friction. He’d been her only partner by age 62. She was short and dumpy, not making any real attempt to look good.

Sheila wanted to advise these women about solutions so she talked it over with Patti. The older woman suggested a women’s group where Sheila could bring things out in the open and then plant suggestions which might be taken more seriously if the other women concurred. They perhaps would have some good ideas too. It was scheduled on Sunday afternoons when the men were watching some sports thing or another. Also, each participant was required to see the facility gerontologist for prescriptions for hormone replacement, vaginal creams and lubricants as needed.

All of the women were interested so they drew cards to see in what order they would get to be the focus of the group’s attention. Each told a synopsis of her situation and then the work began. Mary drew the high card so her problem was open for ideas.

Betty started the discussion, “There a few guys around here that would like to get in your pants, or maybe you’d like to borrow one of my boy toys once in a while?”

Mary replied that she wasn’t sure how to approach her husband with that, plus she needed wanted a more personal connection with a sex partner, not just a hard dick.

Jennifer piped up, “The solution is obvious. You and Roberta and your spouses are good friends. She has a horny husband which is just what you need. Perhaps you could swap spouses a couple of times a week? That would solve two problems at once.”

Sheila chimed in her agreement and the other women also nodded.

Mary looked at Roberta, “How do you feel about that idea?”

Roberta smiled and replied, “Why didn’t I think of it? But how will we get our husbands to agree? I know my Ralph has copped a few feels off of you over the years but I don’t think Marvin would like him getting in your pants.”

Sheila said, “How about if I meet with each couple and present the idea? Let’s start with Mary and Marvin.”

The idea of sanctioned wife swapping took some getting used to, but the logical engineer in Marvin, and the promise of better marital harmony, finally convinced him. It was decided that on Monday and Thursday nights, after dinner with their own spouse, the husbands would go to the other wife’s bed, returning home for breakfast. If any issues emerged then Sheila was the go-to of first resort.

After the first night, Mary and Ralph looked pretty tired. Sheila inquired and both said with a smile that they had gotten little sleep, kind of acting like teenagers or a honeymoon. Marvin and Roberta commented that their spouse’s good mood was a nice change. They had a restful sleep snuggled together.

By the end of the second week things seemed to be pretty settled. Sheila also noticed that Marvin and Roberta were taking care of their appearance a bit more than usual. Of course Mary and Ralph were smiling most of the time.

Back at the wives group, Jennifer was next. She’d been looking at her sex life and wasn’t satisfied. Finally confronting her husband, he’d realized that her needs weren’t being met but was threatened by her having more sexual freedom. He’d had far less experience with partners than she had.

Martha spoke up for the first time, “I’ve not had much experience either and I’m ready for more. I get along with your husband ok and if he had some fun with me he’d have to give you more freedom. What do you think?”

Jennifer looked thoughtful, “It might work but he’d have to want sex more than he does now.”

Martha had been thinking, “How about if I seduce him? I’ve always been the one seduced and I’d like to play the other role for a change. Any ideas?”

Jennifer said, “I’ll get my part time work hours changed to later in the day. Then we can have you come fix dinner and eat with Joe. With a bit of alcohol and teasing you’d have a chance.”

It took five evenings for Martha to be on her back enjoying the fourth cock of her life. Jennifer didn’t have to be told when it happened since the bedsheets had been changed and her husband was unusually amorous one evening when she got home from work. She confirmed what had happened with Martha the next day. What a win-win! When both of the women had been getting a lot more attention for a couple of weeks, Jennifer walked in on her husband enjoying himself between Martha’s thighs. Being forewarned, Martha wrapped arms and legs around the stunned and fearful man and told him to just listen.

Jennifer walked to the head of the bed and kissed her shocked spouse, “Sweetie, I’m glad you’re finding out how much fun ‘strange’ is. I knew about this all along and now I’m sure you’ll understand when I try some out too.” She left the room. Poor husband had wilted so Martha had a long talk with him and he finally finished what they had started.

Late that night Jennifer returned to the marital bed. It was obvious when she undressed that she’d been with a man. The crotch of her panties was soaked. “Honey, that must be Martha I taste on your cock.”

“She made me stay there all afternoon. She would play with me and tell me what you were probably doing. I was surprised that it got me hard and I fucked her three times! I didn’t know I could do that.”

“I’m glad to know that my getting fucked turns you on cause I only got it twice, so you owe me one. Do you like sloppy seconds? I hope so because every guy I’ve given them to has wanted more.”

At this point her husband stuck his hard dick in her slippery puss and came quickly. He’d never asked about her previous sex. When he’d filled a Cialis prescription he spent a lot of time in her twat hearing about its many adventures. Martha didn’t get any more of him for a while.

Three Sunday meetings after the husband trading began, Roberta asked to give a report to the group. “When Marvin started staying with me we would put on our nightclothes and use the bathroom separately. We’ve both lived with someone so long that this got to be a nuisance so we acted more like it was our own spouse. I went back to sleeping nude and Marvin wore boxers. I’d see him in the shower and taking a piss sometimes too. Well, last Thursday I woke up with Marvin spooning behind me. I’d never seen him with an erection but sure felt a morning woodie poking out of his boxers this time. I raised my leg, diddled myself to get wet, and slipped his pecker inside. He woke up and we had a nice fuck. He was amazed and I told him to check with the doctor to make it happen more often. I hadn’t come so when Ralph got here I attacked him and got that taken care of. We haven’t really talked about it but we are screwing more.”

Mary said she’d noticed a big change in Marvin that morning and he’d fessed up. He got a prescription on Friday and they had a sexy Saturday. The four of them had coffee the next morning after church and agreed the exchanges could continue.

Martha had really enjoyed screwing Jennifer’s husband so was feeling kind of cut off. Her libido was now much higher than it had been for quite a while. She inquired about the single men at the facility. Sheila had been interviewing them after she talked to all the women. She was still giving Tony a blowjob now and then and figured he’d be a good match for Martha. A dinner date with dancing was arranged and Martha didn’t sleep in her own bed that night or many other nights in the following week. Tony didn’t need any sexual relief from Sheila for a while after that.

At Sheila’s suggestion Patti had gradually transferred all the sexually active residents onto one floor of the facility. Each person was advised about the new environment and had to sign an agreement to be non-judgmental and confidential about anything that happened there with consequences if the agreement was broken. This policy, along with other supportive measures such as education, counseling, and prescriptions for sex enhancing medications where appropriate, helped the mental and physical health of a considerable number of the residents. Overnight guests were permitted if they signed the confidentiality agreement. Hey, good sex is serious business.

There were 10 apartments on this special floor, occupied by couples, four married and one unmarried, three single men and two single women. Many of the occupants have already been mentioned. As we have already seen, both singles and couples now felt more comfortable exploring sexual activities and fantasies long suppressed. Confidential small group sessions, both single gender and not, were held to get people to think and discuss issues that their generations had often considered taboo.

Single/widowed men and women who had lived long monogamous lives had the opportunity to explore being with other partners in a safe environment. And even more than one at a time. Everyone took much more care of their hygiene and personal appearance and diet. Sheila and Patti would occasionally give hand or oral relief but kept a professional distance most, but not all, of the time.

One wife of many decades whose husband had poor vigor declared that she was a virgin bride and had been a faithful wife and it was time to find out what she had missed. Addressing the other women she stated, “I want to bed every man here a few times. It takes more than once to really try something out, but I want you to know I have no intention of replacing my husband or stealing yours. I just want to borrow them for a little while. I give you my word.” She was pretty attractive so it was unlikely that she’d get “kicked out of bed”.

Some of the wives got pissed at first but got over it when they realized how that could open the door for their fun too. As a matter of fact the first two wives of husbands fucked by this woman reported that their own sex lives improved as a result. They felt empowered to do some explorations themselves knowing that their husbands now had no grounds to object. The husbands felt more virile and had a greater interest in sex with them as well, and especially when they found themselves competing for their own wife’s pussy. Win-win.
