What she wanted to do was spice things up
Her marriage was too boring, too predictable
Sometimes it takes a lot of efforts for her husband to get it up and for him to last long enough for her to get there was also a herculean task
They used to be very sexually compatible but

after thirteen years in the love boat, the "see finish" syndrome crept in
She felt she was no longer exciting him
He had settled into life as a man and was no longer trying to do "playboy" with her
It was a terrible sinking feeling for her
A terrible omen about the close of a

season of excitement and joy
She started reading books about prolonging the fun
It didn't start with the book though
It started with an old secondary school friend
He chatted her up and somehow their conversation took an exciting turn
It was the last thing she expected after two

children
She blocked the guy on WhatsApp but he had unsettled the river flowing around her ovaries
She was determined to explore the tingling with her husband
She did her researches
She bought some herbal spices and libido boosters
They were overdue for a second honeymoon
When

she broached the topic with her husband
He laughed it off
He told her they are best friends and soul mates
He really didn't want to be jumping up and down excitedly in the name of sex
He had settled down to living the responsible life but she was not convinced that was the best

He was not the cheating kind
The downside of that was his total lack of adventure when it comes to sex
She had a lot of dreams and fantasies that she believed she should live through in her lifetime
They were in her imagination but her husband wouldn't even try to explore them

It was quite frustrating for her
She had even given up on them until the recent turn of events
She decided something must give
So she made all the arrangements and pushed him hard
She spiced up his fluids with some boosters and started working very hard at opening him up to some

new stuff on their marital bed
She knew it was a process and she was determined to see it through
Then her husband had mild stroke
It was totally unexpected
He drove home from work and it happened right after he parked his car
He simply couldn't move the left side of his body
He

got help and was rushed to the hospital on time
Somehow the stroke was arrested and he recovered
He was in the hospital for a month
He improved so well daily that by the end of the month he was as good as new
He was discharged on a Saturday evening
By Sunday morning his parents

and siblings were at their house
They came to have a meeting where she was accused of senselessly and recklessly endangering his life
His older sister, a medical doctor told everyone that she came to their house to check for environmental factors that could have triggered the

stroke and discovered many of the natural boosters and herbal boosters meant to spice up their sex life
Her husband was the one that told his sister about the pressure she placed him under in the name of sex and the stuff she bought in the name of spicing things up
He had come

to hate her!
She saw it in his eyes and heard it in his voice
He blamed her for trying to kill him at the age of 43 because she had a libido she wanted him to satisfy
She was the devil.
It was the worst day of her life
Everything took an unexpected turn
It was as if the devil had

set a trap for her and she had unwittingly walked into it
She was almost thrown out of her home that day
She cried and cried
Her saving grace was her husband's father
He said "This was an innocent mistake and she shouldn't have to pay for it with her life"
That was the only thing

that saved her from losing everything
After that day, it took time for her husband to trust and become friends with her again
He really believed she exposed him to danger deliberately because she wanted to have kinkier sex
She sort of understood that the stroke scared him and he

had to blame someone for it
All her lofty dream of having sex like a pornstar died with that incident
She learned to channel her energy into her career and business and raising her children
She still had sex with her husband but she took whatever he had to offer at any point in

time
She had come to realize that there is more to life than sex.
Only the healthy can have sex and many people would rather live a good life than have great sex.

PS: The incident happened in 2017
She is still happily married to her husband
