Dear Tell All: My husband and I have experimented with fantasies in the bedroom, with good results for both of us. I’ve been a schoolgirl, a boss and a cheerleader; he’s been a lifeguard and a teacher. It’s all very playful, and the next morning we slip right back into our respectable personas in the community. The nighttime role-playing is our little secret.
During the presidential primary season, my husband — a natural comedian and a great mimic — perfected a Donald Trump impression that our friends loved. He has it all down, from the scowl to the swagger. Recently, he went into his Trump act before bed for my amusement. This time, he brought in an element that he never does in public: Trump’s alleged relationship with women. He pretended I was a contestant in one of Trump’s Miss USA pageants, checking me out with comic lust. He’d just read The New York Times’ account of Trump’s dealings with women, including the beauty queens he supposedly courted.
What started out as comedy soon turned into a hot lovemaking session. I’m ashamed to admit it, but we both got turned on by this fantasy. I responded to the supreme self-confidence he projected, and he responded to my role as a wholesome sexpot who advances her career by flirting with the CEO.
I have no idea if this scenario is true to life — Trump dismisses the women’s claims in the Times article — but I can’t deny that the idea of it does something for me. I’m not proud of this kink, and I’d only reveal it under an anonymous name to an anonymous advice columnist.
Both my husband and I felt a bit queasy after that impassioned night, and we haven’t played “Trump” since then. Nor have we talked about it with each other. Should we keep this fantasy buried for the rest of our lives? Or should we indulge ourselves, moral qualms be damned?
Miss Madison
Dear Miss Madison: Moral qualms? What’s the problem if nobody’s getting hurt? On the contrary, it sounds like the Donald Trump fantasy is giving you and your husband only pleasure.
Indulge, Miss Madison! Life is short, and your self-described “hot lovemaking session” is something only a Puritan would condemn. Well, and maybe a Democrat. I applaud you for finding something to get excited about in an otherwise dispiriting campaign season.
