I'm a "super duper Catholic conservative religious nut". But I'm married. Wife knows I sometimes visit here to talk about tickling, usually i just lurk. BUt i"m feeling chatty tonight.
For about 10 years she was not really interested in being kinky at all in the bedroom. And I quit using porn and suddenly was abel to have great sex 2-3 x a week (in my 30s). Now in my early 40s its about 1x a week (hey, things can slow down for some dudes). But I was OK with her not being into tickling or bondage in general. Sex is one of the least important things in marriage (my opinion). Neither of us have held it on pedestal. And of course we're more dedicated to staying married b/c of the Sacrament of Marriage than anything else. So when I act a fool and she's had it and ready to leave me, she remembers the promises (worse, poorer, sickness) and we stay together almost out of spite. It helps that we are still 'high school in love". That means we have that really intense, burning love that we both felt when we were in love with others as teenagers. But with that sort of love can come co dependence which I ended up having to work pretty hard on to make things better. Making sex the #1 thing or even a 'must have' component of a marriage is a bad idea. One day sex will not be possible due to some health complication, drug addiction, birth problem, prescription drug side effect, or when family members start to die as you leave the sex crazed 20s and enter the 30s and 40s. So we have always viewed it as a way to make babies first of all (that Catholic thing again - no religious debates please, my religion, my practice, go to a catholic forum to debate that). After that it's a way to form union with the wife and with the hubby. Isn't it amazing how make-up sex fixes 99% of all problems? And kinky, tied up sex is the ultimate showing of trust for someone. Especially the way we have played - no safe words, no mercy, no getting pissed off if you ask for no mercy and get no mercy. SHe's not much into being a ticklee but damn she loves to tickle from time to time. And with her hurtling towards 30 her sex drive is going up and up and up so things are really nice and spicy at home. However its never been the cornerstone of our marriage.
You 20 somethings reading this take heed. Your spouse's parents and siblings, grandparents and such WILL DIE one day. They may not want to have sex for ages afterwards. What then? Leave them? NO. That's why sex is rock bottom in importance to us. Plus there are times when we don't want to get pregnant and well, we abstained for 10 months at one point (that means no hand jobs either - we're very Catholic). Putting sex up that high in importance is not a great idea. I just got more religous at that time and learned the wonders of living a (mostly) fap free existence. I ended up confessing that i DID look at porn about every 3 monhts during that time, usually after a fight. She smiled and told me it was OK and i suspect she may have too during that difficult time when circumstances really did not allow us to even think about having sex b/c of the prego risk.
WTF is a Catholic doing on ticklingforum?
Sinning a little. ;-) I'm Catholic, not perfect. And not jerking off either, just enjoying the forums here. Lots of angry, opinionated, loud mouthed people who are fun to listen to. Anyone who tells you religious people aren't hypocrites is probably a religious person lying to themselves. We suck at practicing what we preach. But we get as horny as the next person too. though not when we are forced ot abstain. That's different. That's more worrying about the reason for abstaining.
WHy not jerking off? Wife just expressed an interest in me writing down my fantasies and her reading them and acting on them. The most extreme of them are her idea and her fantasy. That got written down in an encrypted file on the computer. I told her about it today after i bought new bondage supplies and told her she'd have to torture the password out of me. She thinks she can get it in 15 mins or less and didn't want to know what was in the file. I'm blushing its so rotten. 8) But that's FUN. She's totally excited about it. So no jerking off while we wait the 7 days for the damn package to arrive. I also didn't tell her what I bought (strapless strap-on *blush*). Never had one of those used on me. But she has expressed a desire twice now in our marriage to use one and well, I'm going to oblige her. I may have fun too, who knows. I probably will b/c she's the hottest thing i've ever laid eyes on. But then, when you are married and happy your spouse is always smoking hot in your eyes. No matter the weight, age, or whatever. THey may be bastards or bitches from time to time, but their hotness stays. Especially if you don't lust after other women or men. WHen we play she's going to want to see me cum 3x or more and that's a tall order so I'm just mega-horny the past 2 days and probably fo rthe next 5 while we wait on the package.
I did tell her she had to give me 2 hours warning so i can shower and make sure I'm clean.... inside and out... *shiver* before we play. ugh. I'm scared of her and i like it.
If sex is so important that it can destroy a marriage, then its too important.
