Reviving A Dead Bedroom

Lauren and Mike have been together for 15 years, and they have always had a great relationship. They both really enjoy spending time with each other. However, over the past few years, their sex life has all but vanish into the background. The years of stress from kids, work, and just life, in general, started catching up with them. Every night after the kids go to bed, they watch Netflix or play video games together before going to bed a few hours later.

Lauren had always been a bit more reserved sexually than Mike, but she would let loose on occasions. Usually, those occasions involved a lot of . They were both in their twenties when they met, so their sex was pretty crazy initially. Not to mention they were both in the best shape of their lives. Over the years, Lauren had grown more self-conscious of her body. She isn’t as lean as she was in her twenties, and no matter how many times Mike tells her he still finds her attractive, she continues to grow more reserved. Mike doesn’t even like to bring up the subject of sex because it just seems to stress Lauren out even more.

One night after the kids go to bed, Mike fires up the Xbox, and Lauren says she is going to take a bath. Mike pauses his game so he can watch Lauren get undressed. Unfortunately for him, she goes into the bathroom, still fully dressed, and closes the door. Having basically given up hope of getting laid, he decides to jerk off while she is in the bath.

He grabs some tissues and lotion, then pulls down his pants and lays down on the bed. He starts stroking while thinking back to this one weekend a couple of months into their relationship.

He had just gotten home from work and was playing video games in the living room of his tiny one-bedroom apartment. Lauren was more or less living at his apartment at this, so he wasn’t surprised when she lets herself in, with two arms full of groceries. He asks her is if she needs help, and she says no, as she starts putting the food away. When she finishes, she goes into the bedroom only to reappear a few minutes later, completely naked. Mike looks up at her with a smile, and she says, “I’ve been on birth control long enough now that we don’t need condoms anymore.”

He drops the controller, and they go into the bedroom. They proceed to spend the entire weekend naked and in bed. They both lose count of the number of times they fuck. The only time either of them put on a robe was to answer the door when they ordered food.

Mike cums in the tissues while the events of this weekend flow through his mind. Then, as he is cleaning up, he hears the bathtub start draining. Lauren opens the bathroom door with a towel around her body. She grabs a pair of panties and a nightshirt from her dresser. Then she retreats back to the bathroom and closes the door. When she comes out, she is fully dressed. She kisses Mike then lays down in the bed to read.

After she falls asleep, Mike lays next to her, thinking how he can approach this lack of intimacy without causing more stress for Lauren. Finally, he comes up with a few ideas. Now he just needs to decide which one to start with.
