The Voyeur's Motel

“That’s fine,” she said.

“And don’t forget: this couple thinks you’re my wife, and so be careful what you say. Also, don’t be concerned about any of the extras they may want because I’ll make it up, financially, okay?”

“Fine,” she repeated.

The man seemed edgy and nervous about the impending meeting with this other couple. He explained to her that he knew nothing about them except they lived in Denver and had advertised in a swingers’ magazine. “We’ll see what they’re like at dinner, and, if we all get along, we’ll come back here, okay?”

They left the room shortly before 7 p.m., and a little after 9 o’clock they returned. About five minutes later, I saw a late model Cadillac pulling up at the curb in front of Room 11. Returning to the attic, I noticed that this newly-arrived couple were both in the mid-40s and both were well-dressed and refined looking, especially the wife. She had a face of classical beauty, with an aristocratic nose, high cheekbones suitably attenuated, a fine chin, a long neck, very large eyes and a complexion any model would envy.

But after she had taken off her clothes—and the visiting couple were quick about it—I saw that her breasts were very small, and sagged. After her husband became nude, and the Spanish girl also, the three of them lay on the bed and began fondling one another.

The man from Kansas City was in the bathroom, with the door closed, and when he came out he seemed to be surprised to discover that the others were not only nude but were already in bed stroking one another.

“Wow,” he exclaimed, still fully dressed, “so soon!”

As he slowly began to take off his clothes, he watched as his Spanish friend was beginning to perform fellatio on the other man, while the latter’s wife kneeled next to them, softly massaging her husband’s testicles. The Spanish girl had dark skin, the color of rich chocolate, and her large breasts were ringed delicately with chestnut-brown nipples, and below was her dense forest of curly black pubic hair.

The Voyeur found her incredibly beautiful, and exciting to watch, too, especially as her tongue moved around the purple knob of the man’s penis. The latter’s wife, while still keeping her hands on his testicles, nodded toward the Kansas City fellow in a gesture for him to join them.

After all his clothes were off, he did move onto the bed with some hesitation, feeling as he did the wife’s hand on his scrotum as well. But nothing she did with her hands, or later with her lips, could arouse his limp penis.

He was clearly embarrassed, but he did accept the wife’s invitation to lower his head between her legs and participate with his tongue, which he did perfunctorily; but his penis remained unresponsive, reducing him to being a mere spectator after the wife shifted her attentions toward her husband and the Spanish girl in a threesome on the other side of the bed—where, in the next ten minutes, each gained an ample degree of satisfaction.

The Voyeur watched all this through the vent, feeling sorry for the subject from Kansas City. That poor fellow surely hoped, after he’d made all these arrangements, that he’d become more than just a spectator.

After the swinging couple from Denver had put on their clothes, had said good-bye, and departed from the room, the man from Kansas City said softly to his companion: “I just couldn’t get turned on by this swinging situation. Maybe it’s just not for me.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it,” his companion said. “I’ll turn you on.”

“I’m sorry, but I feel bad,” he went on.

“Don’t feel bad,” she said. “We don’t need that kind of sex.”

She then lavished maximum attention on his penis, and tongued it to a rigid straining stalk of excitement. She never pulled her hot mouth away from his surging penis until he had ejaculated into her, which he later called: “the best orgasm I ever had.”

Conclusion: From what I picked up from all their conversation, the man from Kansas City often takes his Spanish girlfriend with him on business trips. He used this particular trip to experiment for the first time with swinging couples. He obviously could not get, or did not want, his wife to participate in mate-swapping, and the girl served as a substitute. Because people, especially married men, tend to be bored by routine sex with one partner, swinging serves a purpose. But the fact that this man failed to achieve an erection will probably discourage his participating in similar meetings in the future.

The Voyeur, as of this date, has not observed enough group sex in order to hypothesize on the effects of mate-swapping on the marriages of the participants. Whatever the effects, this variance will continue to be practiced by certain adults and should be condoned.
