A sex toy story.  

New York City, on vacation, my former Wife and I were in the Big Apple enjoying ourselves, and we walked into a leather store on a Friday evening towards midnight. There were many people in this small store, some of them in fetish wear, with others in Tuxedos and evening dresses ~ and everything else in between. It was a rather unique experience to see this diverse crowd in a store filled with bdsm toys.

For Dee and myself, it was our first adult toy shop of this nature; and, we were like children in a candy store,being from South Texas (a barren land if there ever was one at the time). We are looking at all of the leather accoutrements and toys, when I get the idea that I wanted to purchase a couple of leather paddles.
 
Right!

But first one has to pick out those that look and feel right in the hand, and then you want to take it (them in this case) for a test drive. I wanted to
try out the leather paddles that were attractive to us.

Dee is somewhat conservative in public, especially with her being a public school teacher, in addition to her Southern Baptist upbringing. However, we picked out the paddles that were appealing, and I suggested that we try them out. She didn't blink an eye. I went to the store manager and asked if we could do so; he said, sure ~ you can use the dressing room over there, pointing to the other side of the store. We went into the dressing room, and the store seemed to have grown somewhat quiet. However, once in the room, we found that everything in NYC is not big; it was tiny!!! I went back to the manager and explained the difficulty of such a confined space, and he suggested that we use the basement if we didn’t mind company, as some of his staff were marking in new inventory.

There was a steep stairway leading from the retail floor down into the basement, and the door was open. We went down without closing the door; it wouldn't have done much good for the clerks were in the basement working the inventory... And, I could not believe the chutzpah that my Wife was exhibiting. I asked her to bend over some boxes, she did, and the first leather paddle started making contact with her bottom, covered by her dress. At home, we may have started a paddling with her clothes on, however, her denuded nether region would make the scene rather quickly.

I raised her dress, as I would normally do, and there was no resistance on her part; she got a few more strokes of that paddle, or the next. Finally, her panties were gently eased off of her now pink buttocks and down her thighs, and still she did not flinch. We then tested each paddle on naked flesh until we decided on the two that we wanted to purchase. Afterwards, she rearranged her clothes, and we went back upstairs.

It was not until we reached the top of the stairway, that we realized the store was absolutely quiet; nobody was even moving about. As we reached the retail floor, all eyes were directed to the doorway through which we were returning. It seemed that the customers could have broken out in applause as we glanced about and at the different expressions on their faces; however, they were kind enough to not do so. We made our way to the cashier, paid for the two paddles that we liked the best, and walked out the front door with a sense of being a little freer than when we walked into the store...

The next night we went to the original Hell Fire Club with the President of The Eulenspiegel Society and his girlfriend. It was a very unique evening; but, that is a story to tell at another time...

I love sex, however, I am not casual about having relations; I have had two lovers since 2000. Sexually, I do not engage in one-night stands that involve intercourse, etc. However, that does not preclude D/s or bdsm play that may only occur one time. In the bedroom, or outside, I am an explorer.

I love the art of making love (vanilla sex), and helping my partner to achieve her pleasure. I am a giver ~ that is part of my satisfaction, besides experiencing my own gratification during the act. I prefer one-on-one sex, but have experienced a 3-some on two occasions when the energy was right.

I am a heterosexual male, seeking a kind and caring woman. Extramarital affairs do not interest me. I have played/would play with a partnered woman, provided her partner knew in advance, and approved.

Favorite quote: "Once attracted to bdsm, no matter how it happened, it is an esoteric interest that will never leave your soul."
