"Since my wife died, I've reconnected with my sexuality. I've realised that my fantasies are actually available to me, not just something I live out through porn. And when I met Sophie, I discovered there's been a sexual revolution going on and I'd been missing out. In the early days, Sophie would wake me up in the middle of the night to have sex and we'd whisper fantasies to each other."
"My urgency to have group sex is partly existential. When someone close to you dies, you realise that life is short. I'm on a sexual adventure and I want Sophie to come along with me. I feel frustrated because I want to fulfil my fantasies with Sophie, but now she's reluctant. So when there's a threesome scene on TV, or a history programme mentions how the Romans did it, it triggers a panic in me, and I withdraw."
A widower has reconnected with his sexuality after his wife's death and seeks to realize a long-held fantasy of group sex. He met Sophie, who initially reciprocated fantasies and shared past group experiences, and the couple briefly arranged a meeting with another pair before Sophie withdrew. His urgency to experiment is intensified by existential awareness following bereavement and fear of missed opportunities. Sophie's changing willingness has produced frustration, insecurity, and panic triggered by sexual cues, leading him to question his attractiveness and adequacy. The couple remains well matched mentally, spiritually, and physically, but disagreement over group sex threatens his sense of fulfilment.
