Sex-Positive Slice of Life Story
My husband (39M) and I (36F) have been in a triad with our boyfriend (26M) for about a year and a half now. 2 months ago, we transitioned from long-distance to all living together.
As a background info, husband and I both have herpes, but our boyfriend does not. I recently had an outbreak while ovulating (only my 3rd outbreak ever) and it was such a pain. I wanted sex so bad and could not have it, not to mention the burning, itchy, tingly butt I was experiencing.
Flash forward to yesterday, I had finished my round of antivirals and my butt finally wasn’t contagious anymore (scabs gone).
Our boyfriend seized the opportunity to go down on me, refusing to let me do anything for him, just saying “making you happy is all the pleasure I need”, looking up at me midway through to tell me, “you are so beautiful like this.” Afterwards, all 3 of us cuddled and watched a show that I picked out on the TV, snuggled up under a blanket.
I know I should not feel “gross” because of herpes and yet, like so many people, I do. It made me feel amazing to be treated with such love and care after an outbreak, especially by someone that does not experience herpes themself. During the outbreak, he also gave me plenty of cuddles (while I was wearing underwear and pajama pants), making sure I still felt loved and appreciated even though we couldn’t have sex for awhile.
I definitely feel like one lucky girl, and told him so after our experience, to which he replied, “I think the same thing about you every day.”
