Update to reclamation sex incident that blew up here
Last night I came home from my date and I was done. My pussy was sore, I was full of another man’s cum, and my body just didn’t want anything else inside it. My husband was waiting like he always does, ready for that reclaiming moment he loves. I know how much it means to him. I love him like crazy, that’s never changed. But when he pulled me close to undress me and I felt him getting hard against me, I just… couldn’t. I didn’t want his cock in that moment. I didn’t feel like wanting to spread my legs for him. I told him I was wiped out and needed to sleep. He went to bed upset and I felt like shit, but I also wasn’t going to force myself through it just to make his fantasy happen right then.
This morning we talked for a long time, just the two of us. I actually wrote this post on the breakfast table with him because I wanted him to be okay with what I’m saying. He knows I still love him and I’m not trying to push him away.
But I’m also not sorry I listened to my own body instead of pushing through for him. My mood mattered to me last night. I didn’t want to turn our sex into something I was doing for him like a chore. That would’ve made me resent it, and I don’t ever want our sex life to feel like that.
Yeah, some of you said it’s like a job or that I have a responsibility to reclaim him. I don’t see it that way. This isn’t work. It’s supposed to be hot for both of us. If I’m not feeling sexual after getting fucked stupid by someone else, then I’m not doing it. I can still tell him every filthy detail while I stroke his cock or suck him off. I can still hold him and kiss him and let him know he’s the one I come home to. That’s still us reconnecting. But full-on PIV reclaiming when I’m already satisfied and tired? Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right, and I’m not going to pretend it does.
I’m not choosing the lifestyle over my marriage. I’m choosing to be honest about what I need in the moment instead of faking it. My husband gets that. We’re figuring out together how to keep the hot parts without one of us feeling used or obligated. If that means reclaiming happens later, or different, or sometimes not at all after a date, then that’s what it is. I still want him to feel wanted. Just not at the cost of me ignoring my own feelings.
I’m not looking for more judgment. I’m looking for anyone who’s actually been through this shift and figured out how to handle it without it turning into resentment on either side. That’s all.
