Last night my wife and I indulged in something that we haven't had the opportunity to do for some time: We went out together with no kids in tow. Just a quick three hours down at our local pub, with a couple of mates to join us. We had a friend volunteer to babysit, and luckily the timing was perfect. It's been about 18 months since we had been out together and the lack of grown-up time, out and about, was driving us completely nuts. So, we were able to get out and press our reset button, have a few beers, hang out with friends and basically have a ball. Ah! The simple life of pre-children adulthood! Occasions such as this do wonders for a relationship - if only it was a more common occurrence!
So after we came home, and I had driven our friend home, we had a glass of wine, sat on the couch together and just hung out a bit more. It was wonderful! The kids were fast asleep in bed and all was well. My wife suggested a sexy movie. I put on a collection of Tera Patrick scenes. Ms Patrick is a very attractive lady, but my word she does some very dull and sometimes hilarious porn! Some of it is pretty gross, actually, with male actors that look like throw-offs from bikie gangs, fucking her quite roughly, and some of it is plain ridiculous with the same old tired and bored stuff with the same old tired and bored facial expressions etc. We did find some nice scene eventually, something from Suze Randall's catalogue. And as soon as the erotic and sexy stuff was on we made love on the couch - the porn forgotten and unwatched. Funny isn't it? Just the idea of porn being on in the background is very appealing to my wife. She doesn't need to be watching it to be aroused by it.
We had a great night.
