When we think of someone who takes part in cuckolding, we think of a risk-taker. The type of person you might describe as a "deviant." Men who participate in cuckolding suggest it can help to create profound and positive life changes -- both in the short term and long term.
Over the long term, these experiences support sustained well-being benefits including the realization that emotions, such as fear and jealousy, that are traditionally considered negative, do not have to constrain a person.
These reflections can often change people's everyday lives -- they describe no longer "being bored with life or sex" and talk of having a passion they thought was long gone. They also report seeing other people in a much more positive way after being cuckolded.
Cuckolds often describe extraordinary sensory experiences of the sort not usually available in everyday life. This is because during a cuckolding experience, a person's ability to see, hear, and feel is all enhanced.
Of course, when taking part in these types of activities, risk is always involved. Perhaps this is why nonparticipants find it hard to understand why anyone would willingly be cuckolded -- unless there is something "not normal" about "those type of people".
Cuckolds also possess a well-tuned knowledge of their own physical and psychological capacities and limitations. This is vitally important because cuckolding is not for men who give in to fear or are afraid of taking risks.
Cuckolds can shine a light on what it means to be human -- and what other human beings are capable of. But to realize this, as a society, we need a cultural shift that accepts cuckolding as beneficial, along with a change in view that recognizes cuckolding as an example of what is possible when a couple communicates and trusts one another.
Cuckolds are often successful business owners, college-educated, well-to-do individuals. They're laid back but focused. And they aren't afraid of taking risks.
Cuckolds' brains may be naturally lower in levels of dopamine and/or serotonin, according to research from Monasterio.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps manage your brain's reward and pleasure centers, plus regulates physical and emotional responses.
The neurotransmitter serotonin regulates a variety of psychological and bodily functions, including mood regulation, sexual desire, sleep, and social behavior. When out of balance both can lead to depressive feelings, fatigue, anxiety, and more. But instead of sitting on the couch and brooding, many cuckolds "fix it" by having their wives have sex with other men. Problem solved.
Moments before his wife has sex with another man, a cuckold feels a surge of fear and excitement. His heart rate spikes and his insides rumble. As his wife is entered by another man, those electric feelings give way to an intense rush, then deep focus. He must position himself to get the best view. Then, he must watch the other man make love to his wife, a few times, often within two hours or more.
Cuckolding forces emotion out of the cuckold, and that primary emotion is fear. So, the person who has difficulty with emotions goes into cuckolding to feel their emotions. If a man has difficulty experiencing and expressing emotions in everyday life, then cuckolding becomes an exercise in empowerment in which he can conquer the most primal emotion of them all: fear. They get a strong sense of living life to its fullest as if touching their full potential.
Humans are social creatures by nature. Even those who are introverted still need some level of socialization to remain well-adjusted emotionally. Studies have even discovered that socialization is critical for cognitive functionality. This is another area where cuckolding receives high marks because it is done with other people. This increases the bond between a husband and wife, and it will also give the two of them the many benefits of socialization.
Exposure to stressful encounters, like cuckolding, can physically change your mental make-up to help you better handle other stressful situations. We all possess an amino acid called neuropeptide Y that, among other things, assists with the regulation of anxiety, acting as a natural sedative. Researchers from Yale Medical School tested whether it's possible to increase our natural levels of this stress-beating chemical by monitoring the biological data of cuckold men who have watched their wives have sex with multiple men.
