When the session was over, they thanked me again and left. I was learning to suppress my doubts at this point. I saw the session as successful and looked forward to the next one. I thought of myself as a rogue therapist, using unorthodox sexual techniques that would result in unprecedented benefits. I was also becoming more attracted to Julie, sexually and emotionally. That night I dreamed of her, and in my dream, we were having sex with a knowing intimacy between us. We were not client and therapist anymore; we were two people in a relationship.

The next time the two of them came in, I knew the direction that I wanted to take the session. As always, they began by telling me how valuable the last session was and how much better their lives were. Julie said that she loved giving Andrew blow jobs, but that he was usually so excited that she only had to put her mouth on it and stroke him several times for him to cum. He said that ever since our sexual sessions started, he had been so attracted to his wife that he had not had any control over his orgasm. He said that he would become erect at any thought of intimacy with her, that he thought about their sexual adventures all day and had an erection all the way home from work.

I said that it was great that he was so excited by his wife and that in the next part of the lesson I was going to teach him how to make love to her so that it was more pleasurable for her. They were very happy to hear this and quickly took their clothes off as usual. I noticed that Andrew was already hard. I then told them to show me what they had learned in our time together, to get each other excited but not to cum. Julie started to stroke Andrew’s penis, but he stopped her as he was coming too close. Instead, he had her sit on the table and started to flick his tongue on her clit. He must have learned well from our last session, because she was moaning in minutes. Then I told her to get on the table with her legs spread and him to get between her legs and slowly enter her vagina. He put himself inside of her but I would not let him thrust yet. I told him that I would teach him how to thrust. The key, I said, is thrusting in with your penis with enough pressure from your body that you rub her clit in the process. What I wanted him to do was thrust in and then grind with the motion, upward against her. He tried but was so excited that he was able to manage only a few short motions before stopping to avoid an orgasm. He did this a few more times with the same effect.
