What wife wants to find out her husband has been looking at porn? Not this one. My mind went rampant with the worst-case scenarios. To me, it was about a lot more than images on a screen. Was there more I didn't know yet? Were there other women involved? Was I not enough for him? How could I possibly measure up to the girls he had been looking at?
I was scared to find out the details, and he was clearly uncomfortable with sharing them. I assumed his unease with it was because he knew how I would react. It turns out it was because he didn't know how I would react if I knew the full truth.
It was a couple years later that he told me what specific kind of porn he had been viewing. It wasn't just naked girls or airbrushed pornstars. In fact, he wasn't into professional stuff. He preferred amateur porn, specifically featuring women around my age who engaged in various types of group sex with their spouse or boyfriend. At first, it didn't make much difference to me, so I insisted he explain.
The reason he was into that kind of porn was because he wanted to do that stuff with me. He was turned on by the idea of a hotwife, a married woman who engages in sex with other men with her husband's blessing. Particularly, he fantasized about him and another guy sharing me in sexual intercourse or even just watching me as I had pleasure with another man.
This revelation didn't make me feel worse, but I didn't initially see how it was supposed to make me feel better. We had vowed to be each other's one and only, and my husband's fantasy didn't seem to align with those vows. How could watching me fuck another guy turn him on? I didn't want to be with anyone else.
I guess there was no way I was going to understand it from just having my husband try to explain it, so I did what I do with every question I have: I researched it. It turns out that cuckolding and hotwife fantasies are very common among men. They stem from, as I read, a husband's finding his wife so desirable that he wants to show her off. Also, apparently a lot of men find it really sexy to watch their partners in action.
Slowly but surely, I not only accepted my husband's fantasy, I began to warm up to it. I started to understand it, and I realized that having sex with another man while my husband watched was the same as having sex with my husband if I was still who was turning him on. I began to image another man pumping into me while I locked eyes with my husband, and I even got excited.
What seemed so outrageous when I first found out about it no longer seemed as unfitting of a committed couple as I originally thought. Every source I read agreed that this type of setup works only for couples who trust each other and vow to be honest. I truly believe we have that kind of relationship. Yes, my husband hid the porn from me, but I understood now he had a justified and unfulfilled desire that I wouldn't have responded to well. Now that I was on the other side of that misunderstanding, I believed more than ever that we had a special connection that just might make the hotwife lifestyle work for us. If it was something my husband really wanted to try, then I wanted to try it.

I said nothing to my husband for a while as I sorted these facts and details out. However, I was secretly considering exploring this lifestyle to see if maybe, though it would have seemed impossible just weeks ago, it was something that could work for us. I would have gone through the process myself of finding a man, setting it up, and surprising my husband, but I knew he would be better at arranging this thing than I would be. So finally, anxious and excited at the same time, I told my husband everything I had been thinking about since he first explained his fantasy to me.
One evening after the kids were asleep, my husband was ready to start the next episode of a show we were watching when I interrupted his train of thought. He usually hates when I distract him like that, but I don't think he minded this time.
"You know that fantasy of yours?" I asked.
My husband froze and took a second to respond. "The one with the porn?" he said, sheepishly.
"Yes," I answered. "Cuckolding, I think it's called?"
"Well," he began to clarify, "I guess it depends on how you define that." I was instantly curious about what he meant. In my research I learned that watching your spouse have sex with someone else was always called cuckolding and that there were two different kinds of cuckolds: submissive and dominant. I suspected my husband was the dominant type.
"Watching me have sex with someone else," I clarified. "Though I assume you'd prefer to be telling us what do instead of just being helpless, right?"
"Yeah, of course," he said, clearly not completely comfortable with the conversation since he didn't know where it was going. "But it's not just that either." At this point I felt frustrated because I just couldn't keep up, but I kept my cool.
"So tell me," I said a bit coolly.
"Yeah, it would be hot to watch you, but I don't want to just watch either. I'd want to, you know, participate." This confession got me really excited. My husband didn't know this fact about me, but before we got married I had often entertained the fantasy of being double-teamed by two men.
"Oh!" I said. "Well," I paused. "I'm not gonna lie, that's pretty hot."
"Really?" said my husband (who has asked that his name not be included in these stories, by the way).
"I think so," I said (my name is Lisa, by the way). "I think most girls have had that fantasy."
"So what were you going to say?" he said more confidently, growing more interested in this conversation.
