Shared Accommodations
The experience I am writing about was truly special, and has not happened before or since. We were a young couple, working hard to make ends meet. We weren’t poor, but we had to watch every dollar. When a marriage weekend conference was announced, we pretty much assumed we would not be able to go because of the cost.
We had another family over after church for a shared meal where we each brought something. We were all about the same age and enjoyed these times of fellowship on a Sunday afternoon. The subject of the marriage weekend came up, and the other couple asked if we could afford to go if we carpooled and shared a larger hotel room. After crunching the numbers, we concluded that it was workable if we got a hotel room with two queen size beds instead of individual separate rooms. That night, we all signed up for the retreat and we’re excited to get this time of ministry for our marriage!
After the two-hour drive in their Corolla (read gas mileage), we checked into the conference with just enough time to drop off our luggage in the room and hustle to the first session. This was going to be great!
After the first seminar and a panel discussion during dinner, we retired to the room for the night. Our first semi-awkward moment came when we realized there was only one bathroom and we all wanted to shower. With the modern version of casting lots (rock-paper-scissors), our travel companions won first showers. My wife and I decided to unpack and get comfortable while the other couple was getting cleaned up.
Now I know every couple has a different routine while at home, and this couple certainly did. When they came out of the bathroom, “Frank” and “Olivia” were, shall we say, less than clothed. Frank was still drying his arms with a towel, and Olivia had her hair wrapped in the other towel. And that was all.
Olivia said, “I hope you don’t mind. We are usually this way at home, and it’s not like we are spouse swapping or doing something sinful.”
We just smiled and said we were okay and picked up our jaws.
While we were in the shower, we talked in hushed tones about how we felt. After going over the situation logically, we decided that we were fine with this level of “fellowship” and that, since they were a married couple, there was nothing sinful going on.
With that in mind, we came out of the bathroom without our clothing as well. Frank and Olivia just smiled and acknowledged our recognition of their lifestyle at home.
We were all in bed with the late night news on the TV before nodding off to sleep when I heard a sound from Frank and Olivia’s direction. I had been so fixated on a news story that I hadn’t noticed Olivia slipping under their covers. From the sounds Frank was making, she had gone down on him and had his cock in her mouth.
My wife, “Joan” was curious, as she had grown up thinking good Christian girls don’t do oral sex.
Before I could stop her, she blurted out, “What are you doing?” It wasn’t in an accusatory tone. She genuinely wanted to know.
Olivia flipped back the comforter and said she was ministering to her husband’s needs. “You can watch if you like. Maybe you can pick up some pointers on doing this for your husband!”
After a few tips and techniques, Joan asked if she could try it on me. I was tired, but I wasn’t stupid. I gave her the green light. After Frank came in Olivia’s mouth, she was nice enough to coach Joan so she would be comfortable in doing oral correctly.
After the ladies were done, both of us husbands returned the favor for our wives. I honestly had never heard Joan cum as loudly as she did that first time from oral clitoral stimulation! It was like a whole new world opened up for her!
Both couples finished with the husbands having intercourse with their respective wives, and we collapsed into an ecstatic exhaustion and drifted off to sleep.
The rest of the conference was quite rewarding and insightful, but we rushed up to the room after dinner for a repeat before heading home in the morning. We even managed to share the large shower together without being self conscious in the least.
The trip home was fairly quiet, with content smiles after a weekend of true marriage enrichment. We were so grateful that Frank and Olivia were not only open about their sexuality, but were willing to mentor another couple who weren’t at the level of expertise they had reached. For years, even after we moved, Joan and Olivia would talk on the phone and exchange helpful ideas for keeping things hot in the bedroom (or kitchen or bath, or backyard…).
In the years since my wife’s home-going, these are memories I cherish. Make those kind of memories while you can. They will be precious for a lifetime.

Nice Story. Never shared accommodations, but sound fun.
My wife and I have shared accommodations with another couple that we were extremely close with many times. It was great!
I believe this scenario is straight up immoral.
Sex is a wonderful gift that God gave to a married couple…
[From MH: we have created a discussion post with the rest of this comment to fscilitate deeper discussion.]
It actually sounds wonderful. Sorry for her passing.
Yes, it was very moral. There was nothing like swapping partners or anything like that. Just two married couples learning from each other as we enjoyed our own spouses.
Thank you for sharing this story and the memories of your wife. It sounds like a very exciting weekend for all involved.
Very intriguing story. I think I'll share my thoughts via the discussion post. Thanks for sharing!
I liked this story and it reminded me of the community showers at nudist resorts. No sex took place there in the showers, and it was a wonderful thing to experience, both when I was single and now with my wife. Showering together and sharing nudity with other adults is something that we enjoy, and I like the ability of the couples in the story to stay true to their spouses even while sharing intimacy in viewing each other as they pleased their mates.
Thanks for sharing- what a great way to learn and advance your personal married sexuality without having to go too far. We wish we would have had this type of experience early in our marriage. Amazing how initial awkwardness was turned into loving learning, beauty and honest living. Let's face it, we all enjoy making love, all had to learn how and it's so great to had had such a valuable learning experience that you had while still remaining 100% faithful! Thank you
Ummm. Wow. This was an exctingstory.
And in the shower 2 gether? All four? Did you touch at all? Help wash each other's backs?
Nice
I must say, marriage heat had loosened up. I submitted a story last year about giving road head to my hubby on the interstate. We mentioned something that really happened – a trucker pulled alongside and watched and was pleasuring himself. They edited that out. They deemed it inappropriate to have somebody watching and actually enjoying it. They made us change the wording which was no longer accurate with what happened.
Now they allow a story where people are in the same shower, bed, and are even coaching each other. They are basically getting horny off of each other.
Wow! I don't mind at all but find it interesting. I mentioned recently about allowing people to submit tasteful pics to go along with their stories and felt rather attacked and ridiculed by many. Now MH allows this kind of story.
Clearly these couples had an exhibitionist side to them which I believe many of us do. Is that wrong? Is it wrong to share pics of a sexy and erotic nature? If it's wrong, then this story would sure be wrong.
Just trying to find some consistency here.
That's why I've been silent on this stuff.
We have been 'observed', and observed others, and in a few cases, like these stories, on purpose.
Certainly not something we have done as routine….or plan too….but the voyeur/exhibitionist thing is hot!
We know there have been changes. For some those have been uncomfortable, even feel wrong, but to others, we haven't changed enough. We try not to come across as authoritative, but we do try to make the decisions that are best for our intended audience—married couples who would like to enjoy sex within marriage more.
We take editorial license with stories for the sake of meeting guidelines and for the quality of our content. Sometimes we must exercise judgment on whether part of a story is beneficial or wise or just fits well in context.
But understand that we are growing, too. Your comments, emails to us, votes on stories, and calm discourse help us understand better the real dynamics of Christian marriages and how best to serve them. Things *will* change as we reconsider our course under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Right now, we believe that, regarding acts he didn't expressly limit or forbid, we shouldn't either, safety and legality taken into consideration. But we take change seriously and implement it slowly.
As for photos, the issues are ones of publication rights and our obligation to ensure that what we publish meets legal requirements. We have neither the time, manpower, or inclination to make photo sharing a part of the MH suite of services. But you can find images that fit your story well on Shutterstock and send us links in your submissions. We will license and include them if they meet guidelines and can be cropped to fit. We mention this in our guidelines.
Personally, I loved this story. Kinda goes along with a fantasy I have. Except Ben and I go to this exclusive " married couples " only hotel where clothing is optional and sex play between a husband and wife is permitted openly on the grounds. No swinging, swapping or anything of the sort. Just a place where you can loose your inhibitions and celebrate your love for one another. While also getting to see other couples do the same. May just share my fantasy with my MH family. With MH's approval that is!
Thank you so much for sharing! God bless and Stay Horny.

What a wonderful fantasy, Gina!
So, Gina, this place that you are mentioning is just a fantasy, not a real place? I wish it existed. I think it would be beautiful to be in a safe place with other married couples safe to be nude and allowed to sexually express ourselves. I would enjoy seeing other couples doing the same, but I have desires only for my wife. It's kind of weird to some perhaps, but seeing others only increases my desire for my perfect bride.
Gina, now that… would be amazing.
That would be great! Would love to hear your fantasy story Gina!
I wish this place existed.. maybe we should do a Marriage Heat Cruise.. sort of like the swingers do.. only it's for Christian Married Couples (obviously in reality if this was to happen there would be temptations do cross some boundaries and lines.. so maybe fantasy is the best place for it.. but I know my wife and i would LOVE it).
There is a woman-owned nudist resort in Washington State, USA near the town of Shelton that has couples' weekends where open expression of sexuality is allowed.
I've been there on weekdays but never for one of those events. There was a review on Yelp of one of those weekends, written by a woman, who alluded to the open sexuality she enjoyed with her husband.
Wow! This is sooo hot! One of our biggest fantasies as well!
