The Only Man Who Has Ever Touched Me

He’s the only man who’s touched me
The one man with whom I’ve made love
Unheard of in this day and age
But still something to be proud of

No one else has caressed my body
Or has found the source of pleasure
No one else knows how to move me
To conquer measure by measure

No else has tasted my lips
Or has laid his head on my breast
No other man has made me moan
Been my partner in passion’s quest

No one else has played my sweet games
Or held me helpless in his arms
No other has made time stand still
Or has unleashed on me his charms

Now, after feeding him my love
I just watch him drift off to sleep
And I’m left to lie and wonder
How marriage vows are made to keep.

A man in custom movement for your total flowrring. A man comfortable in your search for love's deepest secret. I love how you express how a woman's heart never stops dreaming Eileen...I really like the feeling of being watched by my Love as I sleep. J.A.B.

Justin...I've known him since we were twelve. It's a long story. But he is the only man who has ever touched my body in love making. I know in this day and age that is unheard of or even though of as prudish, but...that was the truth for me. Thank you for reading my older writes.

Thanks, Anne Lise. He is proud of me, but doesn't share my love for words. :( He is the director of the Arabic channel Al Waad which is the Arabic channel branch of the Hope channel sponsored by my church. He has no problem asking me to write scripts for his promotional videos though! ;) Thanks for your post!

Thank you, Richard. I've known my husband since we were 12...he asked me out when we were 14....I refused...again when we were 17 when I got back from the States, and then he strung me along till he FINALLY asked me to marry him. I've never been with anyone else....Thank you for your lovely post. As for the profile pic...I knew you would like it. Hugs

a beautiful tribute to your husband. i'm also in a long and faithful marriage so i can relate to your last verse - it's hard work but i think you need some luck, too. some people with the best intentions don't keep those vows...

To think that once married, you will NEVER find another person attractive or desirable is pure rubbish. Just two days ago, I showed my hubby pics of people I found very handsome...from right here on the soup! ;) He just smiled. He teases me about my "boyfriends" and vice versa. It helps with transparency to a certain degree. Full transparency of course is harder, but the ideal. :) It helps to have a belief system in place...it keeps you from going over the "normal" boundaries of friendship. :) Thanks for your post. So happy for you, my dear. I so value your friendship! Hugs!!

Im glad you have that trust to share. My fiance and I have not drawn that stage yet. However, he will comment sexy a sexy actress. And I love drooling over A few myself. Wink

Linda, physical fidelity is one thing...fidelity of the mind and heart is another. I'm not a saint, my dear. Neither is he! ;) I do share with him some facts about whom I find attractive...it helps. Everyone gets lost along the way at times....that's part and package of being human... :) Thanks so much for posting. I do so love hearing from you! HUGS! :)
