But does what you describe fall more under the category of "poly" than "cuckold"? It seems to me that there are some common underlying themes in the cuckold relationship, often focussing on the submissive being denied, sometimes with humiliation as part of the core of it, and sometimes being "forced" to service the man brought into the relationship. The common themes I see in cuckold fantasy are not about a loving couple where the woman takes on additional lovers and her mate is happy for her and they feel complete; more often, she is taking on other lovers to tease, humiliate and make her primary partner feel objectified, humiliated or inadequate. I have not heard of many cuckold fantasies where the woman takes on the additional lovers and the primary is not involved, humiliated, objectified or somehow involved; he is not merely acting as a removed third party, happy she is content, with a "don't ask, don't tell" rule. If a femdom decides to take on additional male lovers just because she's seeking additional pleasures, and the primary partner is ok with that and is happy because it makes her happy, to me that's very different from a cuckold relationship where the submissive's role is as a secondary, a humiliated victim, an objectified and denied player in the game. The way you describe the feelings as being something someone could not understand to me sound more like "poly" vs. "monogamous" -- but maybe I am missing something. I could much easier envision myself as poly with my current lover/relationship; that's not a leap at all. However, to consider a cuckold relationship would change the dynamic entirely. I can reflect on relationships where I might have been able to very successfully integrate cuckolding; however, in all those cases, the man is so entirely replacable as a lover that he's also replacable as a primary mate, and thus wouldn't last long as a life partner. For a hot fling over a period of time -- absolutely! But as a lifelong relationship? If the sexual dynamic is based on his *inability to fulfil* then he's doomed to fail, in my opinion. Akasha I respect your views, and know that we will continue to see things differently, but to clarify... What I describe is a cuckold relationship as I know it to be. Perhaps not the common "slut wife" scenarios we read about, but an ideal cuckold relationship nonetheless. The inability to fulfill would also describe the secondary partner... as his role, even if perfect sexually, does not stand alone. The cuckold plays a huge role in being able to fulfill my needs. There may indeed be humiliation, objectification, and denial involved in the cuckold relationship, as humiliation and chastity are areas that excite me to the extreme. Having the cuckold participate in acts with a lover is a strong possibility as well.... but these things don't mean that I wouldn't care about my cuckold. In fact, the bond shared because of these things would only grow stronger. If I am fulfilled in a relationship which includes denial and humiliating my partner in whatever way, and having sexual (or any) relations outside of the cuckold relationship; and if the cuckold is fulfilled by having an intense bond with a satisfied (however that may be) partner, while he remains chaste, and is used as she deems necessary, and both care enough about the other enough to endure anything... the relationship is not always destined for doom, even in the long-term.
