Susan,
Your thoughtful comments are always so interesting.
Yes, I agree, it's a loaded issue. I don't think that I could enjoy it or feel the way I do about it with any other partner. The context of my particular relationship is what makes it palatable and acceptable, non-threatening and exciting. The emotional connection and safety I described makes me feel that there is only a stimulus component to this; that I am not opening a door to a swinger lifestyle or condoning an open relationship; quite the opposite, actually it strengthens our commitment and reduces any "claustrophobia" type of feeling...
plus this is tame stuff; no bondage or rape or anything the least bit abusive.
