The next day, I and Joyce took stock of our prospects. I asked for her preferences.
"Honey, it is not an easy choice to make. Mike gave me pure, raw, animal sex, something I craved as it was very new to me. But he has even less finesse than Kevin. I am confident we could become good friends with him and he would satisfy me again and again, but only when I am really horny and just want a thick cock inside me. Kevin is still an unknown quality so we should give him yet another chance. I can develop some affection for him, I am sure."
"It seems to me that you want someone that may not exist. A cross between Kevin and Mike. It's almost like you are looking for a second husband," I laughed. "Just for the hell of it let's look for one more guy."
That took the rest of the evening, sifting through the new emails that kept poring in. We saw quite a lot of cock shots some of which made Joyce drop her jaw. One guy had 11 inches. Many had normal-size cocks and included photos of their partners sucking them off. This type of exhibitionism, while fun to see, was not a character trait we were seeking in a man.
While glued to the computer we got an email from Mike: "It was terrific to meet you folks. Joyce is a fantastic lover and you and I seem matched as budding friends. I hope to see a lot of you both but put me on hold for the next two or three weeks as I have to make an emergency trip to Africa - a mine caved in. Next time let's go out to dinner. You select the spot. I'll check in as soon as I get back. Regards to you both, Mike."
That left us with Kevin for next several weeks so we renewed our efforts to find someone else. Many men between 45 and 65 were appealing. One intrigued us: John
"Good Evening, Please look at my profile. You will see that I am 48. In certain respects we are the mirror image of you. I am married but my wife is currently unable to have sex because she is recovering from chemotherapy treatments. She is well on her way to recovery and to a normal life but for the forseeable future sex is not advisable. My wife would want to meet you both and see if you are a couple with whom we could feel comfortable. If there is a sexual attraction, we would propose your joining us for dinner some evening at our home and then I and Joyce would retire to our bedroom. Sara would keep Hal company. She is a good conversationalist; we also have a fine collection of music or they can watch a movie on cable TV. Sara is curious about seeing me with another woman but this is not a prerequisite. We suggest we meet sometime this weekend for refreshments or a drink and a leisurely talk to see if we are compatible. We are new to the area so we would defer to you on the venue. John and Sara."
To John: "You and your wife do seem to share our same problem and interests. We are looking mainly for a man or couple to befriend and meet on a regular basis. We are not bed hoppers. We have a few questions. Woould we be the only couple you would be seeing or one of several? Being part of a small group of friends is acceptable as we would not want to pose any restricitons, but being part of a far wider group concerns us. What are your sexual preferences? I am liberal-minded about sex but do not go into the extreme forms of it. Light bondage is as kinky as I get. We have done one threesome with another man. My husband participated manually and orally to warm me up. I have never been with another woman. This weekend would be fine to get acquainted. We suggest bunch at the Hilton, which has secluded booths. Shall we say 10:30?"
From John: "Sara and I are looking forward to meeting you on Sunday. We are attaching family photos so you can identify us. Would appreciate your reciprocating. I have never done anything kinky, not even light bondage, but am willing to try it. Sara and I have participated in threesomes and foursome on a highly selective basis. To allay your concerns, we have never been active with more than two or three couples whom we got to know over a long period of time and regarded as kindred spirits and good friends.We have done same room and separate room sex. Sara found your threesome exciting. She would be open to observing you, me and Hal if that appeals. Right now, we are not seeing another woman or couple. Sara has a friend who is mulling over my plight and might join me from time to time but nothing else has panned out so far. This friend is bisexual and enjoys a FFM threesome, but up to now she has not engaged us in her sex life as Sara has never been with a woman. Do feel free to ask other questions. John and Sara."
To: John: "We are in agreement so far. We are eager to meet you. Hal and Joyce."
That exchange finished, I and Joyce lined up our plans for the next two weeks. "Joyce, I know you are having a great time and have had two straight days of pretty good sex but you must not overdo it or you will get burned out. Let's plan accordingly."
"Honey, as usual, you and I are reading off the same page. Once or twice a week of different kinds of sex is more than enough to satisfy my libido. Here's my idea. Let's invite Kevin to spend the evening with us Friday. We'll see how that goes. After we meet John and Sara for brunch on Sunday, we can decide if I should go ahead and sleep with John. If so, let us push for an early test of that relationship, which will then give us three choices - Kevin, Mike and this couple - which we can mix and match or pare down the list."
Kevin was free on Friday and during the course of the week confirmed he could stay late but not remain overnight. He had dinner with his wife, waited for her sister to arrive and then headed off to our home around 8PM. This time he was dressed more casually and looked more relaxed. Joyce was wearing. a low-cut blouse and loose, short skirt, all easy to unbotton or slip out of, which Kevin undoubtedly noticed as he appraised her. We offered him a drink and we sat down to chat before adjourning to the bedroom.
"Kevin," Joyce said, You are a very doting husband. Your wife is extremely tolerant. What have you told her about us?"
"Nelly and I have no secrets from each other, which is why we have a strong marriage. I told her your backgrounds and interests. She approved and even offered to meet you sometime. She is still titillated about sex so I described what you and I did. She wanted me to tell you that as far as she is concerend as long as you and I are both content she has no problems with whatever we want to do."
"That's good to hear," I chimed in. We were worried that seeing us might put a strain on your marriage. I am a chess player, too, so we might do that some evening or afternoon. Joyce plays bridge but I have never got the bug. Maybe we could find something that would appeal to all of us, your wife included." (I took this tactic because I wanted to see if there was indeed a basis for some kind of ongoing social relationship.)
Those were cheering words to Kevin. "We do not have many friends, as it is uncomfortable for people to meet invalids, so I would be grateful if you would meet Nelly. I am sure you would hit it off together. Unlike me she is far more outgoing and loves company."
There was more small talk and the social part of the evening was going more smoothly that I anticipated. At this point, Kevin was sitting by himself on one of our love seats and Joyce and I were sitting separately in armchairs. The time seemed ripe to elevate the conversation to the sexual level. Joyce collected our glasses for refills and returning them she sat next to Kevin. She rested her hand on his thigh and took a short sip of her drink before asking, "Kevin would you like me to teach you how to give me better oral sex? You do it quite well and I am sure you pleased your wife, but I need just a bit different attention."
Kevin was a little taken back, but he was getting used to our candor. "I would be happy for you to help me please you, Joyce. Outside of Nelly I have not been with many women so I can use all the pointers I can get. "
We had talked about Joyce's using this tactic before Kevin arrived. To make him comfortable we agreed it would be better if she and Kevin were alone for a session or two. She would take charge and I wuld retire to our nearby den to do some paperwork.
Taking his hand, Joyce told Kevin to follow her. Joyce told me the details later but I heard enough from my den to determine she is a good teacher and he is a fine pupil.
