There is a chance that your wife might simply feel relieved that you are getting your submissive urges supplied somewhere else, provided you still have sex with her.

And as for the orgasm, I've noticed with a lot of men as the guilt increases, the ability to control orgasm decreases. Psychologically, you felt as if you were cheating on your wife, the idea that only orgasm connotates cheating just means that you were feeling guilty already. The spanking punishment reinforced the idea that you were guilty and deserved punishment, and the punishment was making you feel better, hence orgasm. It was almost a foregone conclusion that mentally you would put yourself in the place to orgasm. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of in that regard, in my opinion.

Malicat,

You haven't said a thing I can dispute except talking to my wife again about this. She has let me know that she isn't at all interested in BDSM and she kind of things I am sick. She doesn't hold it over my head but she just doesn't want anything, including talking about it, to do with it. To her straight sex is all that is important and she enjoys it very much. All in all, I think I'm very lucky to have her but I know this is a taboo subject with her. After 40 years of marriage we've come to know each other pretty well. She just thinks that my BDSM desires are something that are easily controlled. She was correct until very recently. The feelings and discussions that come out of this subject just aren't worth bringing up the subject again with her.

Thanks for the input. I do appreciate it.
