George Orwell's wife let him offer sex to female friend: letters - Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) - British writer George Orwell wrote to a female friend to say that they could have sex twice a year with his wife’s approval, a set of letters bought by Orwell’s son show, nearly 70 years after his death. Orwell met Brenda Salkeld a few years before his first publishing success, “Down and Out in Paris and London” in 1933 and she became an influence on his writing, according to the letters which were reported in The Times newspaper on Monday.

Orwell told Salkeld that his first wife, Eileen O’Shaughnessy, understood his desires and “she wished I could sleep with you about twice a year, just to keep me happy”.
========================================================================
My second wife had a similar POV & we became swingers briefly. Making love to another man's wife while he did the same to my wife at the same time in the same bed was a notable happening.

My last. I have had enough & so has she. She won't let me drink my Polish potato vodka anymore.
 
Slow news day isnt it?
 
1. Although the Europeans have treated gay people very harshly in the past, when it comes to straight sex, Europeans have always been much more grown up than the puritanical (and hypocritical) Americans.

2. Not too many years ago, for example, the funeral of a former French president was attended by both his wife and by his mistress.

3. I am disappointed that some European countries (even France!) are considering outlawing prostitution. Sweden has already done so. It even punishes Swedish men who go to another country to patronize sex workers!

I had heard on TV recently of a European country that is legalizing the trade.

Is bisexual prostitution around? I did not see any displayed last time I was in the Red Light district in Amsterdam. To service a hut stud would be an interesting experience, a bit off the beaten track. Male or female doing the service part. I'll bet that idea turns a lot of both species on.

I saw live sex on a stage but they acted like robots. Not hot at all.

Prostitution is legal and regulated in Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Austria, and many other countries in Europe. Many major European cities have red-light districts and regulated brothels that pay taxes and follow certain rules.Mar 13, 2019

That's disgusting.
 
Slow news day indeed. :roll:

Buncha sickos. :lamo
 

Apparently you're not interested in discussing sex & sexuality. Everyone's different & has had different partners & experiences. You don't seem to like that.

I have an entire thread regarding that subject in this forum. And yes, I consider sex with anyone other than ones wife to be utterly immoral.
 
That's too bad. Bye,.

Unmarried people should not have sex? Good luck with that one.

Why not? That was the default moral position for tens of millions of people for centuries.

It's a nice idea in theory, but in practice not so much. Yes, it's the STATED position over the years, but not the PRACTICED position. Religion serves to continue financially supporting a woman with ever declining sexual marketplace value.

Huh? And where did these defauilted people live? And which centuries?
