This is how we do it: Erotic photography unleashed my exhibitionist streak'

"My life changed on meeting Linda. I got introduced to a new way of life. She is a businesswoman; she wore Armani suits. It opened up a new world. We're now retired, but we had both been self-employed, so when I got paid for a project we'd go out and celebrate irresponsibly. We'd go to Harvey Nicks, drink far too many cocktails, and then end up buying a pair of Jimmy Choos and nice lingerie. It was fun, very erotic."

"The boudoir photography started after we'd been together six months. We were at a hotel, and she had a little Sony camera, and I just took a picture of her bending over. She's got a great bum and she knows it. Taking photos became quite an intense hobby for me. Linda seems to revel in showing herself off, and I enjoy my wife looking utterly beautiful. I'm trying to capture how amazing she looks."

"We'd set up photo shoots on our holidays or free weekends. She would take her time dressing up. I'd set up my camera and we would spend a couple of hours trying different poses and experimenting with the light. As the night progressed, my excitement would grow, and after a couple of hours, she'd say something like: Could you untie this? And that would always lead to sex."

Linda embraces glamour and public display while her partner delights in photographing and admiring her beauty. Their earlier self-employment funded extravagant celebrations of fashion and nightlife, creating a playful, erotic lifestyle. Boudoir photography began six months into the relationship and evolved into an intense shared hobby involving staged shoots, posing, and experimenting with light. Photo sessions build sexual excitement and typically lead to extended intimate encounters rather than quick sex. The couple curates favorite images for keepsakes and maintains a healthy, continuing sexual life that now allows for longer recovery between intense nights.
