Um...been in both situations. I dunno. In a perfect world, no one would need anyone other than the one with whom they were enmeshed. We don't live in a perfect world.
Poly opens possibilities. Some of them involve voyeurism, swaps, etc. At present, she's with our mutual friend, and later, I'll access some of my own avenues.
Suddenly, this all sounds pretty fuckin' tawdry. It really isn't. I was just feeling a bit vulnerable. No man likes to seriously contemplate some other man doin' his woman. I guess the ability to accept that everyone can't be everything to everyone else is fairly integral to this whole thing.
Thanks for worrying about things, though, LJ. I worry too. I'm still enough of a stupid male to think that one good orgasm might upset the entire balance of a ten-year relationship.
