Common Sense Advice about Opening Up

Self Magazine recently published an overview of factors that weigh into whether a couple might benefit from an open relationship (and three factors that would make it a bad idea).

It’s a very level-headed discussion. Hopefully it’s a good indication of how society is opening up to common sense in a very important area. So many problems can be avoided if we’re honest with ourselves about who we are as individuals!

Newer Subreddit of Interest

Since the transition from Tumblr, the blog has been rather inactive. In the meantime, plenty of great new resources and discussion outlets have sprung up.

One of these is a one-year old subreddit, r/cuckoldpsychology. It already has over 13,000 members. Awesome!

Unlike most hotwife/cuckold sites, the discussion stays on the kinds of things people will want to know about as they explore changing their established relationship. In other words, it’s not a lot of captions and erotica. Below is a little sample of a recent post.

It’s great to see people talking. Good luck!

Pretty new hotwifing podcast: Holly’s Hotwife Life.

This is an introductory episode, which touches lightly on:

  • What they’re like as a couple
  • What she’s like as a person
  • How the fantasy came up in conversation
  • False starts
  • The first experience (it gets pretty sexy right at this point!)
  • How things have been going since then

Highly recommended for people who are more curious about their own fantasies!

Check it out, and support her great endeavor to provide public information on this kink! Rate the podcast, and drop her a line with questions and comments. Note: we’re not affiliated with this podcast at all—we just think it’s great that she’s doing this public service! 😁

Even if she’s making that shit up, it’s still arousing as fuck for him!

The multiple-choice mystery…is it because it’s:

  • Sperm competition
  • Homemade porn
  • Virtual voyeurism
  • Compersion
  • Mutual arousal
  • All of the above

The right answer is probably ā€œall of the above,ā€ plus some other things we don’t even under yet!

News: ā€˜Stag’ men love watching other guys have sex with their wives… but it’s not cuckolding

By Holly O’Mahony and Lollie Barr for the New York Post

Excerpts below:

It’s certainly not for everyone, but some men get off watching their wife or girlfriend having sex with other men. Meet Stag and Vixen couple Susie*, 36, and Shane*, 38, who go under the Twitter handle, @Ourlittlesecret. So-called because apart from indulging in extra circular bedroom activities, they’re otherwise a long-term straight married couple with kids and regular jobs, whose friends have no idea what they get up to.

It was Shane’s long-held fantasy for Susie to have sex with another man.

Susie explains: ā€œWe’d often roleplay it in a fantasy situation. However, I was too insecure about my body to entertain the thought of having sex with anyone else. Then we started the Twitter account and started posting naked pictures (Susie never shows her face, so there’s an anonymity). I enjoyed the exhibitionism and the compliments. I got talking to a guy who lived in our city and he asked me out for coffee. Shane was all for it.ā€

For some, the decision to open up the relationship in this way comes after they’ve been an exclusive couple for a long time. Susie says: ā€œSex with another man was appealing because Shane and I have been together since I was 18. I felt like a teenager who was dating again.ā€

The obvious question that had be asked is whether Susie ever felt coerced in any way. ā€œNo, I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t want to. I like being able to experience pleasure with other men. However, sex anyone other than Shane is purely sexual. Our relationship is my prime focus.ā€

The couple say they have more sex together now.

They cover a lot of ground. Read the whole article at this link!

From a reader (wife) who wants to stay anonymous:

It’s strange to write things like this down, but it’s something that I have been thinking about.

I’ve only kissed or tasted one man since I started dating my future husband, some 20 years ago. I haven’t been caressed or kissed by anyone since then. Even before I met my husband, I didn’t really have a lot of experience. I was naĆÆve, and all I knew was that I was supposed to meet the right guy and marry him. Which I did, and I have never regretted that once in my life! I’d do it all over again.

I’m also not ashamed that I’ve been so faithful and loyal to my husband, since that’s all we knew about for most of our life. If I’d have cheated, it would have been a massive betrayal, and I would have regretted it. So I’m proud of how faithful I have been, and I love that I’ve never once given my husband a reason to doubt my loyalty.

But if I’m being honest, way down deep I have gotten curious about what another man would be like. Mainly things like kissing, hugging, holding close, but also much more explicit things too. I’m surprised at myself! But I feel free to imagine things a lot more lately.

My husband and I have been talking about some of his fantasies. I’ll admit, I was shocked at him at first, because I thought he’d be the last man to ever think about something like this. After I told him I didn’t like talking about this kind of thing (honestly, I was very uncomfortable), the truth is that it got in my head. It’s kind of like a song that’s too catchy, and so you have to whistle it or hum it all day. I just hadn’t known that there were other ideas out there.

I’m not at a point where I’m ready to start meeting guys to date, even though my husband says he’d be okay with that. I still have things to think about. But I definitely know I’m looking at men a whole lot differently these days.

What I found more surprising is that I’m looking at myself differently too. I haven’t lost anything, and I’m still the same loving wife and mom. What has happened is that I’ve got a whole different sense of how attractive I might be, or something like that. Hard to explain it exactly. My husband says he’s noticed ā€œsomething differentā€, and we are having more (and I think better) sex than we have in years. Thanks, other guys! Lol.

This is all pretty new to me, and I’m still thinking it over. But I know that I definitely have some curiousity about what I might like to do. It’s not a threat to my husband, and it’s making a good thing even better.

I think I’m going to to try something I never tried, which is flirting. I never learned how, even when I was younger. I’m also paying more attention to what I find attractive in men. I’m honestly…just more horny lately. One day I came pretty close to downloading Tinder to see what it was like, but I chickened out. I think I want my husband to be there if I do that, and I’m still too chicken to bring it up. It’s hard enough to admit it anonymously, but it’s also liberating and sort of sexy.

I’m still the same loyal wifey, but I’m having some fun with my husband’s crazy idea. I’m also glad to see that we’re not alone. Is it just me, or does everyone else who’s 40 years old start doing things like this? I guess I just notice it more now that I’m looking into it.

Big questions I have about actually doing something like this are mostly about safety. I think I want to make sure I would only see a guy who has been tested. I’d want to be someplace safe and secret. I think I’d like to do it out of town, and have a real date. I like the idea of dinner and the whole works. These are some of the things I have questions about. But even the questions are sexy, which is something my husband pointed out.

Awesome—good luck, guys!!!
