I never thought it would happen …

It was February of 2014. I had just turned 40, moved cross-country, and gotten a promotion at work. I didn’t know it, but I was also a little depressed.

At the same time, my hormones had kicked into overdrive and I was horny all the time. I present as an upper middle class suburban working mom. Also a devout church goer. And I loved my husband but he was going through something and was not fun to live with at the time. We had been married for 19 years and had two young children.

I stumbled across the Experience Project while looking for some erotic literature one evening and I was hooked. Although I knew I was pretty, I had spent my entire life having no idea that I was attractive. But something changed when I turned 40. I stopped wearing modest clothes and started experimenting with showing cleavage and styles that showed off my curves. I am short and a size 14 and had a lot of curves. I think I was a 34G at the time and really truly had no idea that I was attractive to men, or at least to the ones who weren’t looking for a skinny girl.

Posting pics, both fully clothed and semi-nude, and reading the responses gave me a massive confidence boost. I truly had a good body image, I just thought I was too ordinary looking to be attractive.

I started having conversations with a few people, and I was very selective. I made some wonderful friends who sort of saved me, in a way.
