{My husband refers to his medical equipment as his “girlfriend.”}
I stumble, blurry-eyed and unawake in the too-early morning, into the room where he lies and set about pushing the down-arrows — bip… bip… bip… — one at a time to check his overnight treatment stats.
“Drain me,” he grunts, peeking sleepy-eyed at the bip-scrolling numbers through equally blurred vision.
I hit the proper button, turning the bips to one long beeeep, then climb on top of him – laying my pajama-clad body over his like a blanket – while the suction-hum of the dialysis* machine’s pump whirs to life and begins pulling fluid from his peritoneal cavity.
Settling into place over him, careful to avoid bumping his port or kinking his tube, I feel his cock growing under the bedclothes between our bodies and give a little wiggle, pressing my belly against his arousal and realigning our limbs. He murmurs something unintelligible against my neck and I do it again.
“Ryoo mnuing?” he mumbles** into my throat.
“What?”
“What. Are. You. Doing?” he repeats, trying not to get my hair in his mouth with the enunciation.
“Well…” I respond, wiggling again, “I figured it might be nice for your wife to get you hard while your girlfriend*** is sucking you off.”

Relationships are constructed, brick by brick, in a thousand moments, singular and strange.
Laughter is the mortar, bonding us together, during the pauses in between.
Humor + Heart
This is the love we’ve built.

**He’s a complimentary mumbler.
***Apparently his dialysis machine is NOT his girlfriend; his C-PAP is. (In case you don’t know: C-PAP equipment assists with breathing/oxygen flow overnight for folks with sleep apnea.) He later explained why the ‘girlfriend’ label applies to his C-PAP, saying: “I sleep with her and she blows me good.”
Makes perfect sense to me…
This is my new favourite post of yours!! I love laughing together with my Queen. In many respects there is nothing better!

I love that you even have a ‘favorite’ post of mine, but I especially love that this is it. 🙂
And laughter does amazing things for the body, heart, and mind. Being able to laugh together is a treasure beyond value. It’s lovely that you get to share that richness with your Queen.
Humor is such an important aspect of a relationship, especially when dealing with medical issues that would otherwise seem invasive and interfering. A fun story, Feve ! 🙂
There was a time in my life during which I was convinced I would *never* want to get married; all the married people I knew were miserable.
But my own marriage (the one I didn’t even expect to want!) is not like that, and I think the reason is because, no matter the circumstances, we continue laugh together.
It makes a world of difference. 🙂
This was amazing to read and I remember you commenting on my lyme disease post, saying we all have our own “normal” – so true – and I got a window into yours – Thank you
Thank you. 🙂 Sometimes those ‘windows’ are hard to see through clearly, but if they manage to let the light shine, it’s a Good Thing.
Laughter is so important, also in difficult situations. My husband and I are the same, making jokes about serious things, laughing together, strengthening our bond even more.

I can’t imagine what our lives would be like without laughter; it is the golden thread that weaves through the tapestry of our relationship, shining bright against the dark of difficult moments.
The ability to play together – to laugh, to tease, to joke, to enjoy life even when it’s tough – has been key in our ability to (happily and successfully) stay together. 🙂
Life, love, sex, and laughter sounds like a perfect combination to me. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
It’s what works for us. 🙂
<chuckle> Thanks for the morning laugh about a morning laugh. =)
But I especially love the bit about love and laughter which follows it. Brings to mind a favourite song, On Time as a Helix of Precious Laughs … posted here on an old blog of mine: http://godbeautyperfectionlove.com/2013/02/07/preciouslaughs/

I’m so glad the tale of our morning grins brought about a smile of your own. 🙂
Apparently Viagra works by releasing Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) into the blood stream, which causes the peripheral blood vessels to dilate. So there is a chemical association between laughter and good sex.
Looking at functional maps of the brain, shows that laughter and sex trigger pleasure responses in neighbouring areas, and both release the same ‘happy hormones’.
I had a session with a hilarious ending with a LOP (Lady Of Pleasure), blogged here – https://thecunninglinctus.blogspot.com/2014/09/cunning-conversations-ill-have-what.html
Another favourite LOP had a great sense of humour too, and we played fractured nursery rhymes, sometimes with actions – https://thecunninglinctus.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-funny-thing-happened-on-way-to-bedroom.html
Love your work….

I’ve always been most physically attracted to people who can make me laugh. 🙂
