A fictional story about a couple that had just realized that their Religious Teachings were keeping them from fulfilling their sexual desires. It is not meant to be all that realistic, but is it not at least a little? Like a lot of my writing though, it's a fucking fantasy. I hope you enjoy the dry humor of the exaggerated situations, and maybe get sexually aroused at the same time. I had to touch myself while writing some parts of it, if I didn't I would not write stories like this. All fictional characters are portrayed as over the age of 18. It was self-proofed with the help of software, so I likely missed some errors.

I am writing this story looking back to an earlier time in my life, to try to determine when, and if my wife and I crossed the line, as our lives and values have evolved so since then. These experiences were in a period of transition for us.
We were raised in the church by our parents as fundamentalist Christians during the Reagan years. This was a period like today when moral minorities were able to convince people that their twisted and sometimes hateful ideas were not only God's will but that of the majority. These twisted interpretations of the bible had been an influence on us in many ways, some good I guess. It had taught us basic right and wrong, but as we got older we realized that morals dictated by a religion of any faith depend on the translation of the bible by the elders and ministers of the church.
Even ministers don't always practice the strict made-up guidelines that they preach. This has not caused us to lose our faith but made us unable to deal with hypocrites that seem to flock to these radical religions. Many just want to judge others which is a clear no-no in biblical teachings. We no longer go to church but follow the basic values and teachings of the bible, but mostly try to live our lives by using the golden rule. We find that, "Treat others as you would like others to treat you," is an applicable rule when it comes to sex.
Our years in the church made us miss out on many fun things that we now know are not sinful. The problem is that that left a lot of things in question as to where we stand morally. We were trying to use the trial and error method to determine what does not cross that fine line of morality. I think you will find out that we were quite naive from all the living we did out of the mainstream.
Some of the basic things that had changed are that my wife started wearing make-up and jewelry. We danced and one of my friends at work talked us into going to parties. She said there is one about every week and she would keep us up to date on them and locations if we enjoyed the first one.
We never went to parties during our church days, not real parties, just family stuff and they were all pretty dull I guess. We also watched movies that would not meet the church's approval. The movies and mixing with all types of people have made us more aware of what mainstream living is all about. We had a lot more fun and are more liberal in our personal and married lives. Yet, we have never felt like we had broken our marriage vows as we interpreted them. But we seemed to be seeking more sexual excitement, we were having more and more fun, but we were constantly wondering, even asking each other if we had crossed the line.

Here is our story told by myself, time-wise being shortly after it happened:
Ronnie (Rhonda) and I, Marty, (Martin) were in our mid 20's and at the time felt like we missed out on a lot of fun.
As a young married couple, one area in that we seemed to have most of our interest was sex. We talked about it which is healthy and not done in many Christian homes. We both claimed to have been virgins when we took our vows, and I believe her, she knew no more than I did about sex. I personally only relieved myself by masturbation, it is just too hard for a young man full of hormones to pass on. Jerking my penis, (the only name I felt was proper for it at the time) I felt at the time kept me from other things I thought were more sinful. I guess my constant arousal was fueled by unpure thoughts, and now I don't know if they really were. Ronnie too admits to experimental masturbation of her vagina but it was her claim she never reached any kind of orgasm.
We both felt like our marriage and bond would be strengthened by a more liberal look at sex. After marriage, all we did was missionary-style sex. We were taught to begin and end sex with a prayer of thanks to God for the pleasure we received. That was strange advice considering that we were taught sex was meant only for reproducing?
We decided to and went into what was an experimental phase, and we watched a late-night movie on cable and then decided to, well Ronnie decided to try oral sex on me. It turned out to be a more memorable night than our first marital sex on our honeymoon, (which lasted only minutes.)
