What is a cuckold?

What is a cuckold? Historically, the word described a man whose wife was unfaithful, usually without his knowledge, and it was one of the sharpest insults in the English language. Today it also describes a consensual fantasy in which a man is aroused by the idea of his partner being with someone else. On Cuckold-chat.co.uk members explore that modern meaning.

What is a cuckold? Where the word comes from

The term comes from the cuckoo, a bird that lays its eggs in other birds' nests and leaves them to raise its chicks. In Middle English the word appeared as cokewold, and by the time of Chaucer and Shakespeare a cuckold was a stock figure of mockery, often pictured wearing horns. Shakespeare's plays are full of jokes about it.

The modern fantasy

In its modern sense, cuckolding is built on knowledge and consent. The partner knows, agrees and is often the one who finds the fantasy most exciting. What was once a humiliation imposed on someone has become, for many couples, a deliberate game of jealousy, trust and desire.

  • Cuckold. The man who enjoys the fantasy of his partner with another.
  • Cuckquean. The female equivalent.
  • Hotwife. A wife who enjoys the attention, often with her husband's encouragement.
  • Bull. Slang for the third person in the fantasy.
  • Compersion. Feeling joy at a partner's pleasure.

Why it appeals

Explanations vary. Some men are excited by jealousy itself, others by seeing their partner desired, and some enjoy feeling submissive. For many, the fantasy is about intense emotion rather than the act. It can remain entirely in the imagination and still be thrilling.

Talking about it

Because the subject is rarely discussed openly, many people first explore it in an anonymous chat.

A bloke with nice hands and a huge dangly-bits is what I have been craving for. I desire someone who has hands that can cup my strawberry creams perfectly and who has a junk that can please my fanny in the best way possible.

I think it's time I should try anal sex with someone who knows how. I heard it hurts so much at first, but that's the good part, isn't it? We have to feel the pain in order to experience ultimate pleasure.

Oral sex and anal sex are two of my favourites. I have a tight arse, and having a strong bloke invade it leads me to a euphoric experience. I'm a sexual deviant who's not interested in gentle sex. It turns me on when a bloke kisses me on the nape bef...

I'm an outgoing person who's always surrounded by loving people. I love talking to people about different things, mostly stuff that I'm not aware of. Despite my fun-loving personality, I still enjoy quiet evenings with wine.

Young men make me cream crackered. Emotionally and physically. They tyre you out because of there tenacity and agility. Now I think older men are much better and they have more to offer fancy passion and maturity when ye 're both in bed.
