I got a text from Marie one afternoon that I feel like so many people dream of getting from their partners and it was straight to the point.
“I want to try anal.”
I was completely caught off guard but immediately interested, we had talked about it previously as a concept and she had never expressed desire to explore it so I wasn’t going to push. When I asked her why the sudden interest, she confessed that she had heard some friends talk about enjoying it so she had her interest piqued, and that she wanted to find out “what the big deal was.” We had been friends for a longer time than we had been friends with benefits so we trusted each other and that allowed a safe environment to explore. We began talking about it and decided to take the leap the upcoming weekend when we were both free next.
