DEAR DEIDRE
My husband is obsessed with idea of me having ‘massage’ from another man while he watches
He suggested we try a massage parlour somewhere
DEAR DEIDRE: I CAN’T accept the idea of having a “massage” from another man while my husband watches – but he is obsessed with it.
I was hoping he’d forget about his fantasy in time. But no matter how much I try to put him off, he keeps coming back to it.
He actually wants to watch me getting the massage. And although he hasn’t spelled it out, I know in his imagination it leads to sex.
The thought of being with another man while my husband watches is so bizarre to me.
It isn’t something I want to do and yet he keeps trying to engineer the situation.
We’re in our late forties and have been married for 17 years.

We are both professional people who work full-time, and I admit that sometimes our sex life falls by the wayside.
My husband says he has had this desire for ages, but hasn’t had the courage to talk to me about it.
He only managed to tell me after a few drinks. He suggested getting a mobile male masseur, but I panicked and said I didn’t like the idea of it in our own home.
So then he suggested we try a massage parlour somewhere. I flatly refused, saying I wouldn’t be seen dead in such a place.
Dear Deidre on relationships, jealousy and envy
Now we’re going on holiday in a month and he keeps talking about booking someone to visit our hotel room.
He’s even started to talk about “directing the masseur as they work on me”. The thought of it makes me cringe, but I’m wondering if I should do it — just while we’re on holiday — to get it over and done with.
Otherwise, I’m worried our marriage could be at risk.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is not uncommon for successful people to find being passive in sex a huge turn-on.
Some people are aroused by the thought of seeing another man have sex with their partner.
It is a contrast to the pressures of everyday life. But often, turning fantasies into reality ends in disappointment.
Someone usually ends up feeling emotionally hurt or used, and that can damage your relationship.
Nobody should be pressured into doing anything against their will so, if you are not keen, suggest other ways to spice up your sex life.
