Marriage is my kink
By T. Lee Alexis
I never thought I had a kink. I’m probably
the most sexually liberated person I know. I’m sure that doesn’t make me unique
among erotica writers, but even after dipping into a sea of erotic stories over
the last 20 years, from literary sketches to the raunchiest one-handers, I
thought I knew myself pretty well.
Turns out, I was wrong. I have a specific,
charged and expansive kink. It’s a kink so encompassing it’s hard to see, like
the horizon circling my erotic life.
My kink is marriage. And I have to wonder
if you’re with me.
Everything about it, what it restricts and
what it bestows, sets my imagination ablaze. And it only took looking at my
erotic stories to see the theme running like a current through a river. For me,
marriage adds an undercurrent of spice, pleasure of secret thrills and delayed
release which just (sigh!) hits me where I cross my legs.
Getting
Into It
I’ll admit it. At a wedding, I’m a crier.
In the bedroom, I’m a screamer. I don’t think those things are unrelated.
As any level-headed girlfriend can tell
you, there’s a vast difference between a wedding and a marriage. That being
said, there’s a background flutter in my nerves whenever I go to a wedding.
Everything about them has an aphrodisiac
ring: Two people spending the day celebrating their love, sealing themselves
off sexually from the rest of the world (pleasure based on restriction? Maybe
marriage should be a BDSM sub-category), all pointing to the implied tornado of
fun once the door to the honeymoon suite closes.
I know not many make it to the wedding
night with their virginity intact. God knows I did not. Still, the sweet,
virginal, tiptoeing motifs in every wedding (have you ever been to a wedding
without a white wedding dress?) just make the eventual lust fest so much more
delicious.
It must, because even when I wanted to
write about another kind of kink… a woman enjoying a mature man (The Father and
the Bridesmaid), I ended up setting it at a wedding. I must be among friends
there, because it became my best selling story.
The
Members Only Club
I know there are people who suffer in
marriage. The term Dead Bedroom Syndrome wasn’t coined on accident. But for me,
married sex is far and away the best.
When you love someone, and they love you,
the years of trying to excite each other, surprise each other, satisfy each
other as tastes change, all have a crucible effect. Over time, everything that
doesn’t work gets boiled away, leaving only what makes you and your partner
scream. I noticed this when I found the first story in my Ravenwood Circle
erotica series, Marriage Counseling from a Stripper Pole, found me writing on a
couple married almost 10 years.
Not the usual sex-with-a-sexy-stranger sort
of topic. But that leads me into a side of marriage almost no one talks about,
but I’m finding more and more prevalent. Let’s call it the partner-in-crime
aspect.
Namely, a happy and satisfied husband and
wife venturing outside their marriage, partnering to bring a third into their
bedroom. I don’t know if the last 10 years has brought on more threesomes, or
simply people talking about threesomes, but the notion of two people so
sexually in tune with one another lavishing their skills on a lucky newcomer.
Mmmmm mmmm. Let’s say I have some personal experience with this (my story
Married Couple Seeks Girlfriend is essentially autobiographical) and it was
fantastic.
Three people hopping into bed… yes, yes,
very sexy. But when two of them are married, the friction between their ‘pure
bond’ and the rule breaking they enjoy by sharing a third like an exotic
adventure. That is where it’s at for me.
When
the Walls Tumble Down
I know we’re all supposed to hate them, the
harlots who help boyfriends and husbands cheat.
I know good girls don’t do things like
that. Only a slut steps out on her man.
But ladies, deep down, after you’ve had
your relationship atrophy around you, and that guy who just flips your skirt up
looks at you in that way your boyfriend never does anymore… The spark of
breaking those vows, of giving in and transgressing form something so pure to
something so wrong… Ugh that is hot.
There’s a reason so many of us secretly
want to be a bad girl for a day. Soaking in the dangerous excitement of
breaking vows, the undeniable, toxic thrill of having another woman’s man
wrapped around your finger. I have never done any of these things, I swear, but
living out the twisted fantasy in The Wicked Witch of West Garland Street was
some of the most fun I’ve had writing in a long time.
And watching the final vestiges of a
horrible marriage get smashed one passionate night in The Divorce Party was
just good old fashioned fun.
There’s a reason the ball and chain
metaphor has lingered for so long when it comes to marriage. Because when
you’re free of it, running (or in this case fucking) has never felt so good.
So now I want to know. I hope this stroll
through many of my stories doesn’t come off as too self serving. But when Tara
asked me to write, and I noticed the vein of marriage related themes in my
work. Well, I found my kink.
Am I alone?

Eva Ravenwood is alone in her marriage. As the final years of her youth fade with a pleasant afterglow, she steps into middle age as the attractive wife of one of Chicago’s resteraunt owners and a successful career woman in her own right. And she is contemplating heartbreak even as her dreams seem to come true.
Locked in a marriage with a man she loved but now cannot stand, Eva decides to breaks the confines of her life in an impulsive act which will ripple through her own life, and the lives of those close and far. What she finds is surprising, shocking arousing, searing and emotional, unexpected and deeply satisfying.
As her choices and actions change the meaning of her life, and the life of her loving but misguided husband Peter, people close to Eva begin to use her as an example to change their own lives.
