The Box - Girlfriend finds a box and her boyfriend explains
Paul and Mindy had only been together for about six months when they decided to move into Paul's rental house together. They met in graduate school and had a whirlwind romance. They were very much in love.
Despite being twenty-three years old, Mindy had not had much sexual experience. She'd had several boyfriends and they'd had sex together, but the guys didn't know much either, so the sex was straightforward. Paul had exposed her to a wide range of new sexual possibilities. She loved everything new they tried and was eager to try new things.
In the middle of moving Mindy in, Paul was called away when his mother was hurt in a car accident. Her injuries weren't dire, but he had to go home for a week. She'd be staying at his sister's house for aftercare and his sister needed help to get her comfortable.
Mindy stayed home and continued to unpack. It was boring being by herself and she hated it. She hadn't slept a single night alone since she'd met Paul and hadn't gone a day without sex. This week she spent her days trying to fit her stuff in with Paul's. He never got rid of anything, and it was a tight fit. She started opening old boxes of his that he'd never unpacked, hoping to find things he could get rid of or store somewhere else. She found one large box labeled "Private." She was curious by nature and that label didn't slow her down for long.
Inside she found a bunch of long leather straps and ropes, along with things she didn't have a clue as to what they were. She reclosed the box and would ask Paul about it when he came back.

Paul returned the next day and Mindy had left the box in the middle of the bedroom. It was obvious that it had been opened.
"Oh, I see you found the box." He said in a sad tone.
"What box?"
"The opened box in the middle of the floor with 'Private' written on it."
"Oh,
that
box. I'm sorry. I know it's marked private, but I was trying to find more space for...OK, I'm a snoop and I was curious. What is that stuff?"
"I love you more than I ever could have hoped or imagined, and I don't want to have any secrets from you, but that box is a bit of a story. We haven't talked much about our past relationships yet. Those things are from my first college relationship and belonged to an old girlfriend. It's not the best place for me to start that talk. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of what happened when I was with her. It's the worst thing I've ever done in my life. I'll tell you about it if you really want me to, but I'm afraid that you'll look at me differently afterward. Do you want to hear the story? It's not pleasant."
"I do now. I'm even more curious because you don't seem to want to tell me."
"You have to promise not to judge me for things in the past. I love you with all my heart and I don't want you to think any less of me. Remember, this happened a long time ago and I was a stupid horny kid."
"I love you too and I know you," she said. "It can't be that bad."
"Have a seat," Paul said. Mindy sat on the bed, and he started the story. "It was my first semester in college. I was eighteen years old when this started, and I had limited experience with women. A girl named Beth introduced herself to me in one of my classes. She was a freshman too. We went out the day we met, and I ended up spending the night at her place. Unfortunately, it wasn't a one-night stand, and we started...well...it wasn't exactly dating but we were together. She was my first girlfriend."
"She was beautiful, and she wanted to have sex with me anytime we were together. What more could a freshman guy want? Her sexual appetite was formidable, and her imagination was vivid. She wanted to push our sexual boundaries and at eighteen that was thrilling for me. When I think back about Beth, I feel like I was under a spell of some sort. Bewitching would be a good word to describe Beth. Things happened and I didn't feel like I had control over the events."
"We were only together for about six months, but a lot happened in that time."
"Beth was never content with 'normal sex' and, as you well know, I have a broad definition of normal sex." Mindy smiled at him and raised her eyebrows. "But Beth was out there. She fantasized about every kink she'd ever heard about and would get fixated on one of them. At the time, it was great for me. I was eighteen, I didn't know much about sex and a cool breeze excited me. When we were in bed together, she'd tell me about her sexual fantasies and the sex that followed would be incredible."
"Do you want me to go on?" he asked, hoping she'd say no.
"Yes. You can't stop now."
"Remember I was eighteen, stupid, and horny. If I say anything that freaks you out, stop me. This was a long time ago and some of this gets very weird."
"I understand," Mindy said.
"Most of her fantasies were pretty typical. Things like threesomes, being caught naked in public, public sex, watching people have sex, sex with a stranger, role-playing, spanking, bondage, etc."
"That's what you call typical? That's a long list. You've done all of that?" Mindy asked.
