Another wife here, married almost 10 years, and I’m more in love with my husband now than I’ve ever been. For me, as with many others I’m sure, it’s absolutely not about the fictional characters but really about the fact that it’s helped me find that spark within myself again. Spicy books have helped to remind me of that rush of emotion and tension I felt at the beginning of my relationship with husband. I’ve also found so many new ideas to try, things I wouldn’t have normally thought of on my own, or that I didn’t even know I would like, until I read it happening in a scene and realize it’s a turn on for me. And lastly, reading about bold and fierce women who know what they want and go for it has inspired me to be more bold and helped me find the confidence to step into the sexual goddess that’s been hidden within myself. Which in turn has allowed me to more confidently communicate and express my wants and desires to my husband, and the difference it has made in our sex life has been incredible.
