Vixen’s PC, over at Secrets of a Blue Eyed Vixen, wrote about cuckoldry earlier this week. They have recently started exploring this aspect of sexuality and PC wrote about it, describing the journey which brought them there.
I found it fascinating to read. It was exciting! The idea of having sex with another man while my Boy Toy stays behind and isn’t allowed to stray, IS hot. I can and you can’t, HA!
I hate to admit it, but it made me a little envious, too. Not envious in the “bad” way, I’m totally happy for them. It’s just that it sounds like Vixen and PC have a very active sex life, while I wish mine was more active. What struck me the most though is how close they seem, how good their communication must be! Because for cuckoldry to work, a relationship has to be on solid grounds. And I wish Boy Toy and I were that good at communicating, I want to feel that close to him.
As an aside, we ARE working on that and I think we’re slowly getting there. Yay!
Anyway, since it was on my mind, I brought it up with Boy Toy without really thinking first. I asked him what he thought of cuckolding, after telling him I wasn’t fully satisfied with how often we have sex… Yeah, I know, way to go me!
Still, he didn’t reject the idea. Far from it. However, he was a bit dumbfounded at the notion that I’d be allowed to go elsewhere, but not him. It’s true that it doesn’t sound fair, and I’ve known from the start that he believes in open relationships. The first thing he said, in fact, when I asked “What do you think of cuckolding?” was, “What, like an open relationship?” I explained that no, cuckolding meant that only the female partner has sex with others, while the male partner knows this and even encourages it. I encouraged him a bit, tentatively saying that it’d be hot, and it fits in the Domme/sub paradigm. Seen that way, it seemed to appeal to him.
But then I realized it wasn’t really a good idea. Not now, anyway. We aren’t on solid enough grounds, we aren’t good enough yet at communicating. We’d have to talk about it quite a bit, I’d say. And the thing is, if I’m not satisfied with our sex life, I don’t think sleeping around is a good idea at all. I believe it should be an enhancement to our sexuality, not a replacement or fix. Like I said, solid grounds… Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to our relationship.
There’s also the fact that I feel a little bad/guilty about it because of how unfair it might seen, especially knowing that Boy Toy believes in *open* relationships. Yet fair or not, I know for a fact that I couldn’t bear with the idea of him sleeping with someone else. I’m wayy too insecure for that. I have issues with whether he likes hanging out with his friends more than with me, so imagine if he slept around! Obviously not a good idea. Not now, anyway. We have a few kinks to work out (excuse the pun), first.
Despite this, I do find the idea really hot and it is not impossible at all that we explore it in the future. I’ve already kissed another man, right in front of Boy Toy to boot. He didn’t mind at all
What’s interesting is that according to Wikipedia, there is a biological origin for the fetish of cuckolding:
“The excitement and stimulation of the cuckolding fetish emerges from the biology of sexuality and the effects of sexual arousal on the brain. When a male believes that his female mate may have been sexual with another male, the male mate is prompted by biological urges to copulate with the female, in an effort to “compete” with the other males’ sperm. The effects of sperm competition are well documented. Further, when initiating sex, the male mate thrusts harder, deeper and longer, in efforts to remove the sperm of the other male, and is biologically driven to have sex multiple times. While he may be unable to have sex more than once under usual circumstances, the cuckolded male is prone to repeated sexual efforts. Meanwhile, the wife enjoys greater sexual stimulation, first by her other male lover and second by her cuckolded husband. In addition, the wife enjoys the neurochemical “highs” triggered by entering into a romantic or physical relationship with another lover. These highs include the effects of oxytocin and other neurochemicals which trigger excitement, euphoria and other feelings common to the beginnings of romantic relationships. These neurochemicals change over time, and as a relationship persists, with neurochemicals changing to ones that promote bonding, planning and nurturing. When a wife takes a new lover, she triggers the neurochemicals of a new relationship, bringing home excitement to her husband.”
How fascinating is that?
The good news for Boy Toy and I in all this is that we got to talk about our sex life and we decided we will make more efforts to bring it back to life, so to speak. The other good news is that while talking about this, he started going on about how “just sex” isn’t that interesting to him, that he likes kinky stuff, etc., which surprised me in a way because of the break from kink he had asked for… When I reminded him of this, he said that he thought he had told me he was ready to start again. No, he hadn’t, but I’m happy to know it now *evil grin*
What’s more, we now have something new to fantasize about. In fact, last night I dreamed I was meeting another man during my lunch hour, for sex. The details are blurry, but I remember getting into the restaurant and realizing there were all these people I know. He finally showed up and sat with me, and the people sitting behind him were a friend of mine and… an ex of his! So we left to find a hotel, and that’s about as much as I remember.
