Hello Girls,
I wanted to share a nice experience that might help some of you folks boost the acceptance level of your SO, break up the grind of parenthood and just show your SO just how much you love and appreciate them.
Ever trying to help my wonderful wife understand the more "interesting" sides of my personality, I bought her the gift of a pinup/boudoir photo shoot. A curvy girl, she doesn't see herself as beautiful as I see her. But she had a wonderful time, shopping for fun pinup clothes, experienced great pampering including a fancy manicure, make up and vintage hairstyle. The photographer made her feel right at home and she had a ball despite her being exposed. I wish I was there, but alas friends, girls only (and I don't count)... After the shoot, I picked her up and took her out for an evening on the town and a wonderful dinner, and then stopped at the adult store to pick up some finery (for her) and a nice toy.
She was a knockout and was getting compliments all night long. And I was very excited and lovey-dovey. For the next week, we made love more than we had in a month or two.
Two weeks ago, she spontaneously led me to the bedroom and told me to get dressed up. This is a rare occurrence that hadn't happened in months.
Another interesting thing happened last week, she spontaneously slipped a ring on my finger, saying that looks good on you. Keep in mind that she NEVER did that or anything like it ever before. I smiled at her. And she said, "See! I'm trying." I've limited my CDing to the bedroom after upsetting her a couple of years ago. To have her put a piece of jewelry on me sent me a huge message. She's wonderful!
So, we just got the proofs back. She said she liked a few photos of her (mostly in 40's style dresses) and asked me what I thought. She felt self-conscious for the ones that were more revealing--showing her in her just in a corset, garters and stockings. She told me that she thinks she looks fat. So, I told her you've missed all of these great photos too--and not just the revealing ones. I am going on and on about how sexy she is and how the different facial expressions (smiles, angles, winks) send so many complex and seductive messages. And of course, I am loving the more revealing photos, because I love that woman--flaws and all. The whole time we're talking, I am in heaven and getting more excited by the minute.
She was truly surprised by my reaction. She expected me to say some half-hearted nice words about how beautiful she was. She didn't expect me to devour it so ravenously. I think we CDers have an insight into how difficult it is to look good. And yes, we often have an idealized concept of feminine beauty. But when our SO takes a risk like that (because we all take that same risk), I don't think anyone appreciates it more or is more supportive.
I asked her yesterday, "Do you now wish you had done this a while ago?" She said, "Yeah, I kinda do."
I know some of us CDers can come off selfish. But here is a case where a gift was given, from which hopefully she gains some self-esteem, had a lot of fun, experience the thrill of doing something so daring, gets to see me ultra turned on by her and some gains insight into why I am the way I am. I can't think of a more wonderful gift.
Needless to say, it's going to be another fun few weeks!
We're going to be buying a lot of photos I am sure. I need to figure out how I'm going to keep the more risque ones from being found by our little ones. And of course, many of her friends are asking to see the photos. We may need to have 2 books, 1 for public consumption and 1 for just us.
So now, she is embarking on a new fitness regimen. If she meets her goals, perhaps we'll have another round of shots, and hopefully she'll see more of the woman in them that I see.
And who knows, maybe someday, she'll surprise me and sit me down in front of a photographer in my corset and stockings. Hmmm... what a scary (yet lovely) thought.
Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
