A GIFT BEFORE YOU GO

Before Jon left, I gave him two gifts.

The first was a handmade patchwork quilt I had worked on for months. I thought he could use it on his bunk on ship.

The second was a tiny leather album with photos of us. At the back of this family album, I stashed some sexy boudoir photos of myself. He was very happy, and especially pleased with his “bonus” gift.

I had heard stories from “veteran” wives about rampant amounts of porn on deployment. This didn’t sit well with me. My husband was not the type of man who liked to look at those magazines. (We didn’t even keep that garbage in our house.) However, I knew seven months would be a long time to go without “marital relations.” I was surprised to learn that some of these “veteran” wives didn’t care about the use of pornography and even encouraged their husbands to look at it.

I decided to take matters into my own hands. I spoke with the photographer who took pictures at our second wedding.

She offered me a “boudoir” photo session. These are “tasteful” nude or partially nude photos taken in a studio. I figured since my nipples had to be airbrushed out of several of our wedding photos, why not let them have their moment in the light?!

The photos turned out beautiful and were very classy.

WORD TO THE WISE: If you do boudoir photos for your man, be sure to give him the photos before he leaves. Do not mail them. Remember, packages can be searched and confiscated. Unless you want to be a “pin-up” for the entire battalion, hide them in a photo album you give him before he leaves.

It’s also a good idea to keep track of any copies you have at home. I had an eight-by-ten of myself standing in front of the American flag. I was wearing a red bra and panties along with Jon’s dress blues cover.

My Marine mother, Mary, stopped by one day with her fifteen-year-old son, JJ. I was so pleased with the photo that I decided to show it to her. As I flipped through the photos, I had her stand close to me so JJ would not see it. But I couldn’t find it. I stared at this cardboard backing muttering that I had just seen it the day before.

Then I looked up to see her son’s eyes were bulging out of his head. I flipped the cardboard over and realized the photo had been facing him the entire time.

I guess JJ got a gift as well.
