Wife and I have been married over 15 years, multiple kids with youngest now over six. We feel like we are beginning to have a little more time for ourselves but she is still definitely overwhelmed with the kids (stay at home mom). Over the last few years, her and I have been reading a lot of Amazon kindle erotic stories, particularly in the swinging and hotwife realm before sex to get her revved up. She no longer is a fan of porn saying it is so fake (I can not argue with her there) and that erotic stories get her revved up more.

Over the last year, I have become much more transparent with her that I am open to and find the idea of couple swapping, MFM threesomes, and wife sharing hot and intriguing. She of course quickly says hell no, says she is not interested in clubs, or resorts (think Temptations/Desire) and is open to though of keep reading on the topic, sometimes watching porn on it, and open to dirty talk (although we both admittedly suck at dirty talk - quickly laugh finding it funny/out of place) (I want to improve on this).

My signs I have hope while continuing our current routine:

• past summer, we were both intoxicated and while she was riding on top of me, I told her she was too hot to keep to myself and I so badly wanted to watch her have sex sometime. I was quick to respond, don’t say no, just say maybe sometime. To which she whispered in response, maybe sometime. Hot as fuck! Could have just been the booze talking.

• this past weekend, she read a couple of short stories, one on couple swapping while on a tropical vacation, and one on hotwife’ing during the Christmas season. Towards the end of the second story, while she was still reading, I put my hand on her panties and started rubbing her. I was startled by how wet she was already before I had even started touching her. Once the story was over and we started in with each other, I mentioned to her that she was so wet, to which she sheepishly responded, I am not. I jokingly called her bluff and assured her that I found it hot. Over the last couple of days I have been lovingly poking her about her, I am not wet response, and that those stories much have been working.

I definitely realize that she may fully intend to keep this topic to reading only forever. I understand and respect it. However, are there any tips, similar past experiences/stories/journeys of others that may be of help or of comfort:).

Thank you!
