Webster defines it as "a descriptive or identifying word". Thus, a label is a way people identify themselves to others. In 2024, as it relates to sexual orientation, there are more labels to identify with than stars in the sky. But there is one label that is as old as the history books... "cuckold".
I am by no means going to try and identify that word here, as I have come to learn, a label means individual things to individual people. But I will try to describe how that label applies to me and how I come to see it as badge of honor versus a symbolism of weakness. The "horns" can make one powerful if they embrace them.
I am a cuckold.... it's one thing to think it, it's another thing to say it out loud. I identify as this because I emotionally find pleasure in watching my wife be pleased by other men. The word that best describes this emotion is "compersion".
Like many people who start off in a ethically non monogamous relationship, my wife's first thought when I described my desire to her was to claim, "I only want her to sleep with other men, so I could sleep with other women". Now let me preface this by saying neither my wife nor I have been known for our commitment to relationships in the past. In fact, we both were involved with other people when we first started to have sex. Thus, I could understand her apprehension. Nevertheless, I knew my wife's appetite for sex would win out and I set to surprise her with our first "threesome".
His name was Red, and I found him, in all places on a gay massage website. I inquired about if he gave sensual massages to women as well as men, he quickly confirmed that he did. So on a spicy Thursday afternoon, my wife and I met up at a hotel for some afternoon fun. It wasn't long after I had started to lick her pussy that the door knocked...
She immediately jumped under the covers, assuming house keeping was at the door. I told her to relax and I would check. As I opened the door, Red looked just like his pictures online. A handsome man with Brazilian decent... as he entered the room he immediately smiled at my wife and kissed her hand. It was at this time I told her that Red was there to give her a massage and I was going to watch.
Red put his phone down by the bed and started to play spa music. I told my wife to finish taking off her clothes and lay on the bed... Red took off his clothes as well without prompt. Watching my wife's breathing increase was a huge turn on for me as he started to pour massage oil on her back. At this point I don't think she realized that it was not just her who was naked in that room... but once Red started to move his hands up her back and his body became close to hers, she could feel him, all of him... and he was excited.
