Okay…I’m living a very sheltered life.

Cuckold Husbands: Evidently They Like to Watch

My wife and I are out with another couple last Saturday night, (we saw the movie, “I Love You Man”. It was a bit slow and disappointing) and they started talking about Cuckolding. WHAT?

It’s always a bit strange to find out something exists that other people know about that you’ve never heard of. Ever eat Pickled Snakehead Fish or take a Scottish Deerhound for a walk? Neither have I. And I’ve never been involved in a relationship that involved cuckoldry.

Cuckold: What a weird word! The term “cuckold” is used to describe a male whose wife takes other partners … and she’s known as a cuckquean.  Cuckold is an old English word, used interchangeably back in medieval times with the word wittol.

Apparently there is a fetish for this stuff and it involves a guy whose female partner has “happy time” with another guy in order to make guy number one feel inadequate while turning him on. And she’s turning him on not through any kind of sexual activity or touching, no…she’s turning him on by letting him find pleasure through her enjoyment…with guy number two.

Confused? Oh yeah. That logic is like my wife eating apple pie with vanilla ice cream and asking me how I liked it. How do cuckold enthusiasts even find each other in the first place? What does their profile look like on a dating site? Maybe something like this:

Thirty-four year old white male. 5’10”, average build. I’m an accountant who likes chess, archery, Guitar Hero, kayaking and being humiliated while watching someone I love hook up with a complete stranger or a neighbor or the pool man or anyone but me.
