    +1. Knowing as I have many couples where the man or woman was in the "do as your told dear" setup, that wouldn't surprise me at all. I suppose I have some angle on this cuckold stuff because many moons back I was seeing this woman in a pretty casual way and it was mostly just sex. Casual to the point of me starting to wonder what more was going on. Then she tells me she has a live in boyfriend of many years that she said she loved and that "he's OK with this". Apparently she told him of her exploits. I wasn't OK with this and so off she was told to sod. Somewhat more politely put. Somewhat. A few years later I actually bumped into them both and it was very clear to see by those present that the poor bastard was firmly in the "do as you're told dear, you're lucky to have me" dynamic. I've known more women in that kinda setup though. Going along with all sorts of stuff, with the pretence of consent going on.

    I've zero doubt there are couples were this is fully consensual and whatever floats your boat, but I will still have an attack of the face palms about some guy(or gal) getting off on watching or hearing about their partner getting nailed to the mattress by somebody else. And would consider those into scat as just plain weird and retch inducing.
    So you had a casual relationship with a liar and she made a fool of you. And she proved to be a wagon to her actual boyfriend.

    You might or might not have noticed that almost everyone who has expressed a nuanced opinion has mentioned that everyone involved should be OK with it before its OK.

    Consent is the key and you didn't know so you couldn't consent. I don't think anyone has said it's fine to not tell a guy you're already in a relationship.

    Sorry T, nope, though I do appreciate your sentiment and it's perfectly understandable to think that without me going into more detail. I ended it not because I felt I was wronged, but because I felt sorry for the other poor bastard.

    That is why you ended it sure but I was not commenting on the ending of it. Just that - whether you ended it or not - you were still wronged. And I can understand how that might color your emotional reaction - which is clearly a strong one - to the general subject going forward.

    I might be wrong of course - I often am - but just as I was speculating what the source of your overly emotive reaction might be a story like that happens to pop up. It just fits I guess. But coincidences happen too. Just color me skeptic I guess. But I wonder if you had got the closure of that cathartic beating whether we would be having the same conversation today. Perhaps a lot of your guilt that that guy "made real" for you is the actual source of the emotional responses rather than the cuckolding itself. Never know I guess without having you on the couch for a few sessions :)

    There are few things in the world of sex that illicit the level of emotional ire in me that I could compare with yours here on this thread. But the removal of informed consent for sexual jollies - from rape at one end of the scale to, say, the illicit obtaining of nude photos at the other - is definitely my emotional hot switch.

    I am into quite an array of stuff, some maybe messed up. But consent is the one thing not negotiable for me. With the exception of people consenting to be in a situation where consent is removed because they find it hot - done right that can be wonderful too. But a different thing.

    Jesus. That part is more likely the source of my WTF over cuckolding.

    I get that sure. As I said that is the common ground with us. We agree that is bad. I think the error you risk is assuming that dynamic is representative of the whole or even the majority - when we do not even know if it is a significant minority. Perhaps it is! Perhaps that is what 99% of people into that are like and I am talking out of my hoop. But I see literally no reason to think so at this time.

    Sure - but what I was commenting on was a _purely_ emotional response firstly with no actual grounding rational content that has yet been shown
    I'll give you one(missus!). Very deep level monkey brain rationale. Today we have contraceptives and cures for the clap and paternity tests, but they're relatively recent things in human sexuality. Your monkey brain hasn't quite gotten the memo yet and for all our cerebral notions, the monkey brain still pulls a helluva lot of the levers. To the monkey brain knowing and watching your mate have sex with someone else sets off all sorts of alarm bells, for both sexes. For women they're looking at the possibility of another baby to feed that isn't hers and both economic and emotional resources will be thinned. For men they're looking at the possibility of expending economic and emotional resources raising another man's offspring. That's heavy duty stuff at the damn near DNA level. More wider societal revulsion follows a similar path and sees socially unframed and unfettered couplings as a bad thing, so those following such a path will be seen as "out of bounds".

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Much of the above, though I would consider submissive female behaviour as equally off putting. To be fair R that's more my personality. I find submissive types in general off putting to the point of irritation. The increasing portrayal of niche activities as common would certainly be in the mix, especially coming from "sexperts", a demographic that are well known for bullshit being passed off as research and fact, all the way back to Kinsey. Shere Hite another. The list is long.

    An honest answer. Thank god. Most people just skirt around the topic and won't admit having issues with anything related to sexuality.

    I dunno Wibbs. Monogomaus non-tribal relationships are a newer thing, and most babies were raised communally in the past. Which, imo, definitely had advantages.

    Not really. One can only be made a fool of if one is invested. I wasn't. If it had been my girlfriend then you'd be 100% on the ball.
    And she proved to be a wagon to her actual boyfriend.
    That was the part I thought ah here.

    Nope, you can dial back the oul freud there, I wasn't wronged. He was wronged and in that particular case I felt bad for the other guy. Which in turn made me cop myself on and stop being a dick and slapper wasting my time with two timing slappers. No more convoluted reason required.

    Going on your posts on the matter that might work on the bored suburban housewife types who seem shocked somebody listens to them and appears to know what they're saying, but you'd be a pretty lacklustre shrink as you seem locked into looking for what isn't there to justify the positions you already hold. Never mind the old projecting going on re the "overly emotive" stuff. To be fair tone is often lost in text, though I have used smileys. Maybe I should use more, but then no doubt you'd wheel out the old fave of "passive aggressiveness". Can't beat the beaten to death classics of the amateur online shrink.

    As pictures paint a thousand words, my "emotional" response to the subject of some guy pulling his wire watching his missus get drilled(or the reverse) is basically along the lines of

    and

    I think both equally likely myself. Take me for example. I am somewhat interested in exploring the issues on this thread in reality. I am in the middle ground here as A) I have not done it yet and B) I only want to explore it a small few times not as an ongoing life style like some do.

    Meh. I'm probably not the right person to be discussing this with you as I am a bit square, and certainly too square to understand how someone could be detachedly stroking their chin and musing about how many ''small few times'' they would enjoy being cuckolded.

    As for the regular accusations flying round the thread re emotive reactions of various people, it just makes me think ''projection''. I don't see any particularly emotional reactions, unless disagreeing with someone is automatically emotional. Which could be a thing. I don't know.

    TBH R, I generally don't give a hoot what people get up to, so long as I don't need to be dealing with it myself. I suppose if I had any issue with sexuality, or how it's often portrayed since the sexual revolution is how the more "alternative" is seen as positive and the conservative seen as backward, even negative. So you will often see promiscuity as OK and it is, whatever floats your boat, but say someone "saving themeless for someone special" is seen as somehow not quite right. I understand why. It's the nature of revolutions, the "old way" is pushed back and seen as a negative. For me the sexual revolution is supposed to bring sexual freedom. To think and do whatever you want, or not to.
    I dunno Wibbs. Monogomaus non-tribal relationships are a newer thing, and most babies were raised communally in the past. Which, imo, definitely had advantages.
    Actually that's more than a bit of a fallacy R. Though commonly repeated. Up there with they were all dead by 30. :D Studies of current hunter gatherer tribal societies show monogamous pairings being the vast majority of couplings. Over 90%. The majority are usually arranged couplings by the families or elders. Polygyny makes up a small minority of couplings(that seems to go slightly up after farming gets invented and more resources and resource hoarding kicks off). Even our bodies reflect this setup and tendency to monogamous pair bonding(though duration of same can some into it). We became less physically dimorphic than the other great apes, lost the mating season and display of oestrus, dropped sperm counts, required much longer gestation, offspring support and parental investment, up to weaning anyway. Monogamy, at least for periods of around five years was the go to setup as far as biology goes, but for most it went on for much longer than that. Without contraception kids would come along around three years or so, breast feeding tending to keep that time frame in play and with each child and bonding with same couple bonding kicked off again.

    I will edit out the return to pointless personal comments which you have alas returned to having left it briefly and just reply to the actual content in your posts below:

    I'll give you one(missus!).

    I do wonder what role STDs played in our evolutionary past. Your answer here would assume a strong one but it is actually not a subject I have looked into that much. But really the answer you offer here shows a source of perhaps some of your emotional response but not all of it - nor the lack of any rationality being brought to bear on the subject. Remember I did not ask for a reason for any emotional response in the post you just quoted. But specifically a _purely_ emotional response. And your brain _has_ got the memo. At least the conscious rational part of it talking to me now. Because you know all about contraception and STD protection and pregnancy prevention and more. And you can bring that knowledge to bear on the emotional response you have. But I am not seeing that happening.

    So I can understand your response here in terms of a low level instinctual response that our DNA might be affording us but not really much more than that. Not the emotional response. Not the _purely_ emotional response with no rationality linked to it. And certainly not the need to question whether the men are even "men" - by some definition not even offered yet - which went to another level entirely in terms of emotional response and in fact was the most interesting aspect of your reaction.
    Wibbs wrote: »

    Not sure which aspect of Freud would be relevant there. Or is "Freud" just a placeholder for anything remotely psycho analytical? No one here is claiming to be a shrink. Your comments on other people missing your smileys and you appear not to have noticed mine. You were lied to and used for something without your consent or knowledge. Both of those are a "wrong". I just suspect that any negative feelings you had at the time could potentially but unfairly be linked with cuckolding as a whole. Speculation sure - but I was clear on that when I first said it.
    Wibbs wrote: »

    Is already clear. Pictures or not. It is whether there is any actual useful basis for it that I was exploring and thus far not so much is becoming apparent. It is clear you are biased against it and so far I see no reason why _other_ than an anecdote of a single unverifiable case of it where A) The guy was being treated poorly in it which made you feel bad and B) You were treated rather maliciously and poorly during it.

    As to the images you used. I can only say that for me I can not imagine face palming, laughing and pointing at anyone, or at all judging someone if they are engaging in _any_ sexual activity that they consent to and enjoy. It is is a pedestal neither of us actually have but thankfully only one of us is acting like we do. In fact I have the highest respect for people who know themselves and what they enjoy and stay true to that - regardless of taboo or judgement. So where you find cause for derision and laughter and finger pointing and judgement I see basis for respect.

    But as I said twice - but it can not be said enough - you will get no argument from me on just how awful this sexual dynamic is for those not really on board or who feel cajoled into it by force or lack of choice. That can never be good. And they have my compassion and sympathy, not my judgements on their manhood or qualifications for the term "man".

    How could you consent to being the 'other guy' if you didn't know you were the other guy?
    Are you saying you've consented to being the other guy in other cuckolding situations?

    I dont know anyone into cuckolding (or at least that talks about it), but do know a couple who go to sex clubs very regularly to have sex with other people and engage in orgies which isn't really any different and frankly while it's not my thing I don't see what the big deal is?

    They go together and met at one of these clubs.

    I guess one can never understand something if one is not open to engaging, questioning and exploring with those who do understand or are in a position to explain it. But that of course assumes one is interested in understanding the thing in question. Often many are not. And I have no interest in forcing it on anyone.

    Odd as I thought I specifically pointed out examples of what I was talking about. But I did contrast the responses of two posters as an example. One who apologetically said "I do not understand it it is not for me" as if he was being too judgemental by even saying that. And another who just called them "sad" and questioned whether such men can even be called "men" and that they are "dysfunctional" and "weirdos". And then when this was pointed out - there followed a string of personal insults and derision.

    I would see one reaction as being a lot more emotional than the other. No projection required.

    Yeah the definitions have changed over time. Often it is not clear where open relationships or swinging or cuckolding or anything ends and the other begins. Certainly sharing of partners and extra-relationship sexual interactions is not some weird rarity coming out of nowhere.

    Tax AH. for someone who objects repeatedly to pointless personal comments, you can come over as very condescending. Which is personal. You seem to think that just because you have some kind of outre set up and are ''open-minded'' that anyone not gagging to embrace such is some kind of sexual troglodyte. Anyways, shrugs. I know context can be lost in print.

    Didn't know any such thing existed.

    Not sure they are doing it right though if that is what it is. Taking something taboo many men might have felt shame for - or might have wanted but did not feel able to ask for - and saying "hey that this is actually ok - the taboos are unwarranted and uncalled for" - would seem to be the opposite of weakening them but empowering them.

    If I was trying to "weaken men" I think I would want them to feel guilty and wrong and apologetic about more things - not less?

    I think I return what I get when I get it - but I think there is a difference between mild condescension and outright attacks and insults on a persons character and abilities and intellect. Perhaps we just have a difference in opinion on where the line is between these things.

    Yet you were the first one to bring that up not me. I did not bring anything of my person or personal situation into this anywhere. Nor has anything I have said had a basis in how open minded or not I think I am.

    I think the best example of open minded was Edgecase above. They looked at it - tried to consider it from the perspective of the other - realised there was nothing in it for them and said "Nah not for me" and pretty much left it there. _That_ would be the person I would use as the standard I would judge open mindedness on here - not me.

    I would not consider myself open minded because of anything in my "setup". I would consider myself such because I strive to be more like people like that. I consider myself open minded because I do not judge whether a man is a "man" based on whether he likes or dislikes the same things I am or am not into. I do not find it difficult to call someone a "Man" because they are into something that repels me. That is what being open minded entails. The opposite, not so much.

    Oh there are plenty posters who are not winning the relationship game and blame an effort to "feminise" or "weaken" men. Its nonsense of course.

    You might think the man who are so wise to other men being weakened or feminised, would be much more macho by comparison to all the rest. But actually these lads tend to be unsuccessful by their own standards and new someone to blame.

    Men who are comfortable in their masculinity don't notice all this guff. The ones who need someone to blame, have what they want. Everyone's a winner.

    [emphasis mine]

    And again with your projection stuff about "emotional responses". Hell if I was to go that route it would be easy to suggest your continued reference in your posts to same as more a reflection of your "emotional responses". I wouldn't, because I see it for what it is, deflection and projection, with a large side order of pseudo intellectual claptrap to try to back up your worldview.

    You also seem to have a complete blindspot for anything that doesn't fit your particular narrative. QV your continued insistence that that particular woman "wronged" me. Even though I have repeatedly stated she didn't. But I'll be crystal clear about it. She was a fling. No emotional investment involved. I got shot of her because I felt bad for her boyfriend, particularly because he was OK with this. If he had been one of the other blokes in other flings and I found out they found out I'd have walked away too. Her boyfriend being OK with it just made it worse, almost pathetic and I don't kick someone when they're down and I didn't want to be the other guy he was OK with banging his girlfriend.

    For all your condescending new age sitting on a toadstool and talk of psychology stuff, you completely missed an obvious part why I might have a WTF about cuckolding, namely this: I had come out of a longtermer that went south and I went a bit south with it as did my moral compass. Maybe the longtermer went south because of cheating and I myself felt cuckolded? It didn't, but that would be where I'd point to if I was looking in. In longtermers I have been cheated on and it did hurt and I was wronged. Though even there looking back in all but one case I and we had dropped the ball on the relationship. I've never cheated myself, but who knows if those relationships had gone on, I might have, they just got in first. In that one case she was just a Grade A Thundering Bitch™ and I was well rid, though at the time for a while I didn't see it, as is often the case.

    However all that is feck all to do with my views on someone, man or woman, getting their jollies from watching someone else have sex with their partner. I don't form my disgusted view on scat just because I've had a dose of the galloping trots in my life. I am quite certain that the people who think this fetish is well, more than a bit odd and way off the maps haven't all been cheated on or cheated with someone else. Kinda crazy idea for you. Maybe most people are turned off, even have a major issue with someone having sex with their partners. Mad I know. And they just don't get the whole cuckolding thing to the point of thinking ehhhh, no, WTF? A perfectly reasonable opinion.

    On the "Lesser men" part? OK imagine a couple wearing the face off each other in a club. A group of men and women seeing this are told she's cheating on your man in the corner in full view. Their natural reaction is going to be along the lines of "poor bastard/she's a right cow". If they're then told he agrees with it, that likely ramps up the pathos aspect and also the WTF aspect. If they then hear he's agreed to it and playing pocket billiards watching them the reaction is likely to be weird freak. In each case he will be increasingly seen as "weak" and or "weird" and the same would go down if the sexes were reversed.

    You also don't seem to get that the monkey brain regularly informs our conscious mind in a shed load of decisions we make on a daily basis. Fear of disease is a big one, fear of the repugnant like decay and excrement another, isn sexual matters, fear of paternity fraud, fear of resource draining, fear of emotional exclusion, fear of sexual exclusion and cheating.

    Even obvious every day actions reflect this monkey brain. EG we wipe our bums with toilet paper and are generally fine with that, yet if we got the same amount of poo on our hands or faces we'd be out with the wire brush and Dettol scrubbing to the bone to get it off. A bit of poo at the "dirty" end of things is kinda OK, but our brains go monkey if it's anywhere near the "clean" end of things. Now of course "clean" and "dirty" have cultural influences, like some cultures that eat food with one hand and wipe arses with the other and never the twain should meet, but the basic principle is the same. Another example: we intellectually know that a computer keyboard has more dangerous bacteria and more of them than a toilet seat, but if people were given a choice between eating a sandwich that was on a toilet seat or on a keyboard, which one would most people choose? Your brain _hasn't_ gotten the memo.
    How could you consent to being the 'other guy' if you didn't know you were the other guy?
    Are you saying you've consented to being the other guy in other cuckolding situations?
    Try reading people's posts. I said I was the other guy in other situations where I knew I was the other guy. None involving some eejit pulling his wire in the corner to my bobbing pale bum.

    God, another category of woeful porn I am glad not to know about. Just yesterday I heard for the first time of Sissy Hypno porn. :rolleyes: There's no end to the human capacity for invention.

    The video descriptions are the best...

    "Plight of the Cuck"
    The misadventures of "Cuck Finn" and his stallion, Andrew. Today they breed a mega whale-beast for recreation. Mistakes are made, disagreements are had and boners are killed over some "dumbass pictures"

    And again with your projection stuff about "emotional responses".

    Hardly given I have not been having one, certainly not like yours. So the deflection is only yours. All I mean by these words is that your objection to this kind of sex and the people who engage in it has been emotional with little to no substance. Eventually you reached to some evolutionary commentary on aversion to disease which was at best reaching but certainly does not scale with the bile you flung or your questioning whether you can even call such men "men". Though what definition you are using of "man" is _still_ being kept from us.

    Rather than doing any of that you are just making it personal about me. Over and over again. And that too is an emotional response. Again without substance. Just saying "blindspot" does not mean I have one. Just saying "pseudo intellectual claptrap" does not rebut a single thing I said. It just dodges it.

    your continued insistence that that particular woman "wronged" me.

    Which she did. You might not _feel_ wronged or admit to it or any of that. But you were lied to, which was a wrong, and you were used for a sexual agenda you neither knew about nor consented to. Also a wrong. Those things were wrong. You were wronged. All of that is pretty fact based assuming the event ever actually happened. I do not know you - so I do not know if it did.

    The rest of it about how that might have colored your strong emotional response to this topic is - as I openly said twice now - pure speculation on my part. But if you had that experience _And_ were cheated on and hurt many times I can certainly understand how this colors your views of non-monogamy of various kinds. No psychological clap trap or appeals to freud required - that is simple human nature. Just like if someone gets mugged once or even twice by specifically black men - they develop a perfectly natural if unwarranted emotional response to specifically black men. This is not deep psychology or fringe stuff. Just basic 101.

    Kinda crazy idea for you. Maybe most people are turned off, even have a major issue with someone having sex with their partners. Mad I know. And they just don't get the whole cuckolding thing to the point of thinking ehhhh, no, WTF? A perfectly reasonable opinion.

    If you say so - I never did or anything even remotely similar. Not crazy or mad. I suspect you are describing the vast majority of people. But I see a huge gulf between being turned off by it or having an issue with it - and having a strong emotional even hateful reaction people who are into it. As if their being into it when you are not means they do not even qualify for the label "man".

    So you appear intent on focusing your replies to me on content that has nothing to do with me, my position, anything I have said, or anything I have been highlighting. Which is somewhat unhelpful and I suspect again purely an emotion thing.

    So basically you are now responding to me by talking past me by flinging out what you call "crazy ideas" that were in fact already in my posts and entirely already mentioned and acknowledged by me.

    If they then hear he's agreed to it and playing pocket billiards watching them the reaction is likely to be weird freak.

    It is very interesting the "extras" you have to simply invent and add here to color the picture you are drawing. You can not just paint a scenario of someone being non-monogamous and others hearing about it. No to try and deride something you have not yet grounded your derision of you have moved from a discussion of consent based non-monogamy to things you are adding like a guy publicly masturbating which is in fact a crime in many places. Unable to actually support your derision of cuckolding - you are now forced to import all kinds of crazy new elements to an entirely imaginary scenario out of from nowhere - and come up with a rather unrealistic and even illegal scenario to do your absolute best to portray it in a bad light be proxy to things that are themselves bad.

    Which is basically what I have seen peppered through the thread. In order to make it look bad - people are selecting or simply just inventing the worst possible aspects of it or people representing it - and acting like this is somehow representative or the majority or even a significant minority when we do not know any of that to be true.

    But really all you are doing with this scenario is constructing an artificial argumentum ad populum. Inventing a scenario where you imagine everyone agreeing with your position.

    You also don't seem to get that the monkey brain regularly informs our conscious mind in a shed load of decisions we make on a daily basis.

    IT is amazing how often you pretend I do not get things I have actively acknowledged and included in things I have said before. The sheer quantity of my text you must have to ignore is astounding - especially when you presume to then write nonsense at people like "Try reading other people's posts". Try taking your own unsolicited not actually required advice maybe. But as I said I already know this stuff - but I also know that your conscious mind does "have the memo" on the counter arguments to much of it. There is nothing wrong with the "primitive" (though it is a meaningless distinction, different conversation, but I use it here for distinction) elements of our brain informing us in many ways. It is what we do with that that counts. And it spewing an emotional rejection into consciousness which then runs free without any intellect coming to bear on it at all - would be more the focus of what I "get" here.

    How could you consent to being the 'other guy' if you didn't know you were the other guy?
    Are you saying you've consented to being the other guy in other cuckolding situations?
    Try reading people's posts. I said I was the other guy in other situations where I knew I was the other guy. None involving some eejit pulling his wire in the corner to my bobbing pale bum.
    That's what I asked. Your Inability to answer without snark is unfortunate.

    Your pale bum notwithstanding, do you have an issue with cuckolding if everyone involved consents?

    do you have an issue with cuckolding if everyone involved consents?
    Nope. But I'll still consider it more than a bit odd.

    Strange that you'd get so involved in it when you just see it as odd. Men having relationships with men is a bit odd to most men but sure live and let live. No?

    Yeah there is a lot of subjectivity in words like "odd". Many things are "odd" to me. But I do not think people who like them less of a man for it or think they are "sad" or "dysfunctional" or "weirdos".

    Liking watching golf is "odd" to me for example. Especially on television. And lets not even get started on dressing up as klingons and going to star trek conventions :)

    To put things simply...

    Encouraging your wife to have sex with other men in front of you in an effort to derive sexual gratification from humiliation isn't normal.

    Saying that this is "healthy" isn't responsible. Some people might try this out, be willing to consent and then their opinions can change when they've done the deed. The woman may feel degraded by her spouse, the husband may feel anything but gratified by the experience.

    Cuckolding could potentially tear a previously healthy relationship apart, tear families apart. Whilst there are people who can deal with all this entails, it is not responsible to speak about what is essentially the immasculation of the man in the relationship as being "healthy" as if everyone should be open to doing it.

    All the other arguments here are null and void beyond that. This is something people can and will do, it is not responsible to say it's "healthy" like it's a thing to do for everyone.

    Glazers Out!

    Everyone participates in group think, trainspotters, football fans etc etc, all good distractions from life, completely harmless and benign.

    When it comes to sex on the other hand, it not nearly as benign...no matter what anyone would like to believe, you are dealing with the type of emotions that can be destructive and do lasting damage to one's life.

    Just because people have the freedom to make their own choices does not follow that people will choose wisely, decisions have consequences...it is remiss for people to talk about different sexual lifestyles without talk about the dangers!
