The Politics of Cuckolding
Why are conservative men more interested in sharing their wives?
23 July 2018

In January 2018, I, along with co-authors Justin Lehmiller and Dan Savage, published a research study which examined a unique sexual issue: cuckolding in gay male couples. We did some interviews (https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/health/cuckolding-sex-kerner/index.html)about the research, and about both Dr. Lehmillers’ and my own other research, about the practice of wife-sharing in heterosexual couples. One of the things we suggested in the study, and in our interviews seemed relatively innocuous to me: when a couple is relatively healthy, engaging in the practice of cuckolding appeared to have generally positive results on the couple, likely due to the degree of communication, sexual novelty and negotiation required. The Internet then blew up (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/01/25/cnn-mocked-after-declaring-cuckolding-can-be-positive-for-certain-couples.html).

In 2009, I published my first book, Insatiable Wives: Women Who Stray and the Men who Love Them (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056A8A2Y/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1), a unique scholarly investigation into the psychology of men who enjoy the idea of their wives having sex (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/sex) with other men. Historically, this practice was actually known as “wittolry” but modern fans of the practice have adopted the term cuckolding. When I interviewed dozens of couples around the country for my book, this was a relatively rare practice, and appeared to only occur in heterosexual couples. But, in recent years, there has been an interesting rise in the practice of gay cuckolding, where homosexual (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/homosexuality)men explore a similar fantasy of submission, sharing their husbands with other men. This recent rise actually prompted our research, as Dan Savage received letters from gay men into this practice.
