Frustration...

[sirhugs]

Some people don't like incest.
some people don't abide Loving wives
some find Group sex unappealing.

but how do you keep Erotic Coupling interesting????

What about a story about a devoted couple seperated by distance, who vow to each other that they won't even masturbate until they are together again? Imagine the fun with the build up to the reunion:

~ he watches the pyt's in their summer things
~ she squirms as her gf talks about the size of gf's lover's cock
~in the shower, he starts fondling his girth, but then recalls his vow
~watching a movie, the love season makes her tingle. Her fingers linger...
etc....

40 Days and 40 Nights?

40 Days and 40 Nights?

Yup! It's a romcom with Josh Hartnett as a web designer based in 'frisco.
The guy decides that sex and lust is an obstacle to finding love, so decides to abstain for Lent. He's fucked up about his ex and discovers someone new early into his vow. His mates discover the vow and set up a website to handle betting on when he will break his vow.

Your theme of resisting natural urges to prove the depth of devotion and love is broadly similar.

I think it would be difficult to establish a credible motivation for total abstinence with an established couple, why wouldn't they try phone sex? Is there a moral basis for this decision? In the movie the hero had a brother who was a priest, the idea of abstinence came from him rather than any religious conviction in the hero.

Maybe they're a competitive couple and knowing each other's libidos this is a wager rather than a mutual vow, issues of trust arise then as this would be difficult to police over distance. Can they detect when the other is lying? Do they deliberately place temptation in each other's path in order to win the wager? Is the wager divisive or does it reinforce the bond?

okay, vaguely recall the movie - not sure if i watched it - who was the female lead? Other than Geo Clooney I don't often recall male leads.

Maybe he (just for a twist from gender stereotyping) is uncomfortable with cybersex (never tried it before? finds it too hard to get off while paying attention to his partner?). she tries to ease him into it. He resists, then it becomes a contest of wills...

I like the wager idea. Maybe they are competitive, and as part of the wager, they decide it's okay to tease their partner to make the other snap before they do.

Trouble is, how do you entice your partner without getting yourself worked up as well?

you believe you have greater power to resist... perhaps she comments "I know I'll win, because you can never walk past the cookie jar..." and he replies "...when did you ever resist a shoe sale?"

There was a Seinfeld episode similar to this, called "The Contest." It wasn't a couple, but four friends who wagered who could go the longest.
