Cuckoldry? Certainly!
(or, approaching your wife-sharing fantasies with reason aforethought)
Hanne Blank

Dear Fat Broad,
Do you know anything about the subject of cuckolding? I was a virgin at 22 when I married my wife. She was very experienced and taught me all about sex. I lost my virginity on our wedding night. She jokes that we are a role-reversal because I was a virgin and she is very sexually aggressive. She is exactly the person I was waiting to lose my virginity to! She let me know when we first got together that her vibe collection intimidated a lot of her boyfriends. I currently hold her vibrator and move it while she looks at her Playgirl issue. She has the wildest orgasms with her vibe! I've always liked power tools, so I thought it was fun, so what if they are larger than me!

I have a small penis and you are either ok with it or hung -up about it (sorry about the pun). My wife loves to tease me about its size and I find it quite a turn-on! Once she even measured me in front of her all her girlfriends, which lead to me serving drinks to them in the nude! By the way this is now a requirement when the girls get together at our house. Her friends get a kick out of me being there to serve them food and drink while I'm naked. I do not mind being around what some would call "strong willed girls." I never thought I would get so much attention!

I just want to give her the gift of pleasuring herself with someone else, but only if she wants to. I would feel comfortable with her having sex with another man for her sexual pleasure if she wanted to while I remained faithful.

Hey, I like your attitude. It always puts a smile on my face to see someone who approaches their desires with a grin and a sense of both humor and perspective. I want you to keep on having a good time with your sex life and your life with your wife. That's why I'm going to tell you that the first thing you need to do is to take some time to think about this very seriously. It sounds like you've got a pretty heavy-duty submission/humiliation dynamic going down, and like you're enjoying it a lot and want to make your wife having sex with someone else a part of it. It's not all that uncommon for people to be interested in the fantasy of their partners sleeping with other people -- often people are particularly interested in the idea of being allowed to watch while such a thing takes place, too. So it sounds like you know what turns you on, and that's a good start.

And in truth, this sort of situation can work out just fine, if it is in fact what you really want, something that your wife wants, and something you've both talked about in terms of its ramifications to your relationship. These kinds of things can be manageable and they can be a lot of fun for everyone involved... if they are handled responsibly and sensibly.

But before you get there, you need to do some serious talking with your wife. Honestly, you really should be talking about this entire dynamic you've got going -- the teasing, your being physically exposed and teased in front of other women, your thoughts about your wife potentially sleeping with someone else, the whole shootin' match, because if you haven't talked about it in an adult, thoughtful, reasonable way, you're not doing your relationship homework.

Whether you've thought about it that way or not, what you and your wife are engaging in is a form of BDSM, namely D/s with the primary dynamic being one of humiliation, exposure, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and teasing. So far so good, and you've apparently learned to enjoy the attention and being more sexually submissive than you are aggressive. It's nice that you and your wife seem well-matched this way, I hear a lot of complaints from people in marriages where inclinations in regard to dominance and submission aren't nearly so good a matchup.

However, that doesn't change the fact that what you do sexually in your relationship needs to be consensual and mutually articulated as being such. If it isn't, it runs a significant chance of not being healthy somewhere along the line, or of causing friction in various ways. Since that can mean bad things for your relationship and for both of you, potentially, I think it's high time y'all sat down and had some good long heart-to-hearts about what's going on and what you want to have go on. Remember that the watchwords here are safe, sane, and consensual.

This will also mean that the two of you need to take some time to educate yourselves about what you've been up to and what you're thinking about doing. And I mean reading stuff that isn't jerk-off material, but actual serious books on the subject of dominance, submission, and BDSM dynamics and relationships. I would highly, highly recommend that your wife read them too, or better yet, read 'em together and discuss what you read. Here are some good titles to start with (Just FYI, no, I don't get a kickback from Greenery Press! They just happen to put out a lot of good books on the subjects you need to know about in your case.):

  • SM 101: A Realistic Introduction, Jay Wiseman (Greenery Press)
  • The Bottoming Book: Getting Good at Being Bad (Greenery Press)
  • The Sexually Dominant Woman: A Workbook for Nervous Beginners, Lady Green (Greenery Press)
  • The Mistress Manual: A Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance, Mistress Lorelei (Greenery Press)
  • Training With Miss Abernathy (Greenery Press)

Then, and before you even so much as think about opening up your relationship to other partners, you owe it to yourself to read these next two books I'm about to recommend. Again, have your wife read them too, and discuss what you find in them... if none of this pushes any of your buttons, check your pulse. You may be dead.

  • Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits: Secrets of Sustainable Intimate Relationships, Dr. Deborah M. Anapol (Intinet Resource Center)
  • The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities, Dossie Easton & Catherine A. Liszt (Greenery Press)

If you've done all your homework, had a lot of good discussions, and both of you are of the same opinion about wanting to pursue opening up your relationship, either in an egalitarian way or in a one-sided way, then go ahead, rock on, have at it, etc.

But remember, tootsie: the reality of having your partner sleep with someone else, or be in a relationship with someone else, can be very different from the fantasy. It's obvious from the tone of your note to me that you're very turned on writing about it. This is usually a blazing Defcon 4 sign to me that the person writing hasn't spent a hell of a lot of time thinking seriously about the thing that is turning them on so much... because really, ya know, this is pretty heavy, potentially relationship-ruining stuff you're talking about here if it isn't handled intelligently and with a lot of mutual respect and responsibility. Hell, sometimes even when it is handled with a lot of intelligence and forethought, things can still go seriously kablooey.

Not to put too fine a point on it, just telling yourself that you're a submissive person and you like it when your wife takes control, that you like being at the end of her teasing and humiliation, that you like serving her and like her to do things that "use" you in various ways is not necessarily enough to get you through when push comes to shove. Trust me, it ain't pretty.

You want to make sure you consider all the issues, not just the parts that turn you on. How would you deal with it if your wife fell in love with the other man with whom she was having sex? How would you feel if she dominated him in ways similar to the ways she dominates you? What would you think if your wife wanted to spend a weekend, or a week, with her new sexual partner? What kind of boundaries do you think are realistic for you in terms of what would be okay for you if you were to actually do this, and what are not? How realistic are those boundaries, and how easy are they going to be to maintain? You'll both need to think and talk a lot about these kinds of issues, not just before you embark upon opening up your marriage, but all the way through the process of doing so.

You may also want to consider (strongly) getting involved in your local BDSM community. I guarantee you there is one. And I guarantee you that there are many male submissives who will share your enthusiasm for being creatively pussywhipped in various lovely ways (and probably quite a few lovely goddess women who might be able to give your wife some pointers on how to keep you in line if the two of you so desire). Talking with and hanging out with people who participate in similar kinds of sexual power dynamics is an important way to learn how to do it sanely and safely yourself. Plus, kinky people are a lot of fun, in general. Check the websites at the National Leather Association International and The Eulenspiegel Society for information about some great BDSM organizations (they both have pretty extensive links collections). Don't worry if you don't think you're into BDSM -- trust me, you are. It isn't all whips and chains. There are a lot of people who are into the D/s aspect (Domination and submission) and not the other stuff. It's all fine, and well-accepted within BDSM circles.

Look around some. Learn a lot. Play safe, and have fun. Respect yourself, respect your wife, respect your relationship, and respect your brain and your sanity. Do whatever is safe, sane, consensual, and turns you on, but don't do it in ignorance, or assuming that reality is going to be exactly like your fantasies. You may have fantasies of flying an airplane, but you'd be a fool to just hop in the cockpit without learning something about it first, right? Right. Enough said.
