Men are encouraging their wives to bed OTHER men as part of bizarre cuckolding fetish
Monogamy and relationships tend to go hand in hand, right? Wrong.
Men are now encouraging their wives and girlfriends to sleep with other men as part of a bizarre fetish - and the craze is on the up.
The kinky practice of 'cuckolding' is increasing in popularity with Google searches for the term doubling in the last 13 years.
And now people are taking to online forums such as Reddit to share their cuckolding experiences.
One man describes the moment he got to watch his girlfriend have full sex with another man as a "pure unfiltered sexual thrill".
He writes: "I was expecting it to be a challenge, to feel some anger or jealousy, but I think I'm past all that now."
Another user describes how his girlfriend told him about her sex session with her volleyball partner by showing him the box of condoms they had torn open in the heat of the moment.
He further explains: "She is s****** him off every time they are together and completely refusing to touch me, often sending me into another room to [masturbate] when I try to have her."
While many would see the lack of intimacy within the official relationship as worrying, it is a common theme of cuckolding.
Some men describe the sexual thrill of their women refusing their advances as "intense".
But why would you want to encourage your partner to cheat?

Psychologists have suggested a number of reasons, from repressed male bisexuality to men being proud of their partners' liberated sexuality.
Speaking to , Dr David J Ley author of Insatiable Wives: Women Who Stray and the Men Who Love Them, said it could be as simple as men being turned on by seeing their partner turned on or them getting a thrill from breaking the traditional relationship rules.
“When an otherwise well-controlled heterosexual male dares to visually create his wife’s violating her marital vows, and possibly his even encouraging her to do so, he’s playing a vital role in what we might call a ‘double transgression’ of society’s norms.
Voluntarily fantasising himself as a cuckold, yet fully in charge of his cuckoldry, his ‘forbidden fantasies’ may be particularly gratifying.”
While many of the black and white thinkers out there will see sex or sexual acts with someone other than your partner as cheating, one Reddit user insists it's not so straightforward.
They state: "There's a difference between cheating on you and "cheating" for you."
So there you have it, it seems the sharing is caring attitude can be used in all aspects of life.
