Sorry if all of this is covered in other threads...

I'm female, 40 and have been in a stable marriage for 14 years. Before we had children we were really into sex all the time, and what we figured was mild bondage play - tieing up, spanking, mild pain, etc. Sex in public places was a big turn on also.

Once our children came along, we had what really ended up being a long "dry spell" in a way - either no sex or only quickies. He is military, so there were a few years of deployments in there as well.

Now that the children are a bit older we've had a sort of re-birth of our sex like - yay! I've noticed a few things about myself that are different - one is that I seem to crave much rougher sex than before. I wonder if this is due to being older and so much more history in our relationship, more trust, etc? Or if it's just a result of a decade or more information about sex in general.

The second is that when we were younger, he was always the one in "charge" - I guess the dominant one, though honestly we were not really thinking we in any sort of BDSM relationship. Now it's more like we take turns. We have fun restraints, etc, and he likes to be restrained as much as I do, etc. Is there a name for this? I ask because while I will "take charge" of our play if that's what he's in the mood for, I would much rather be the one being told what to do...I guess I'm lazy that way. I like to please him, however, and will gladly do so.

I know I sound hesitant in this post - it's my first time posting here. I also have honestly never met anyone who would admit to liking anything like rough sex, spanking, etc, so I have no real knowledge of the culture involved and don't want to come across as anything but naturally curious and willing to learn.

Thanks!
 
Welcome!!! Yah....some of us will gladly "admit" we like rough sex and a whole lot more....

Fetlife.com is a great site to learn more about the kink scene. And if you live near a big city there prolly is a public dungeon nearby. I'm in LA and we have a zillion!!

I'm glad you are reclaiming your sexuality and exploring...

Welcome to the forum!

Being a female in her advanced 40s with two kids and a what was a marriage of over 25 years, I know what you are talking about.
I think the rougher sex is because having done it for so long you get used to it and it just doesn't seem to do the trick. Kinda like you get desensitized to loud music.

And the name for how you describe your relationship is switch with more sub tendencies.

Hope to hear more from you. Don't be afraid to post. They don't bite too hard. :cattail:
 
Hello and welcome :) The beginning part of your post reads like it could have been written by me--the before kids sex life, the dry spell while kids were little, the military spouse, and the sexual re-awakening of sorts.

The only difference is for the most part hubby and I are kinky vanillas and I he has allowed me to be a submissive to a dominant extramaritally.

Right here is a great place to meet people and learn more.

I will add that while my husband was active duty we were extremely careful to keep our kinky side private. Depending on rank and your own personal views you may want to do the same.

Look forward to getting to know you better.

that is a concern, absolutely. we've had environments where people I knew would shudder to hear that I was voting Democrat, I can't imagine what response talking about kinky sex bring.

Yes, me too. That's the reason I never went to munches or public play. It's just isn't worth the risk.
 
I know just what you mean!

Welcome btw, it's nice to see a married lady here who is actually happy with her husband!

What you and your husband are doing, reciprocating is, to me one of the best ways to enjoy each other.

:rose::rose:

We do generally like each other, most of the time! There are times when I could bury him in the backyard, though :LOL

I was told, once, that the you only truly love your significant other if you have plotted their murder.

I don't perscribe to that way of thinking, but it seemed fitting. :)
