This is a tale of sheer fantasy in all respects. In real life, it is incumbent on all of us to ensure consent in any situation, and to show respect and empathy to those around us—not just with regard to sex, but in every aspect of life.
Dave gulped. Despite the heat of the lamps beaming down on him, he found himself in a cold sweat. Why, exactly, had he wanted to appear on this TV show? This was crazy! Getting naked in public, with his image beamed to the world: this was all so odd. And that wasn't the worst of it. No, the real issue, now, was that so much, so very much, was riding on... on... well, on the size of his cock!

Was it just three months earlier that he had clicked on that popup ad? He wasn't at all sure why he had clicked—he never did that. Maybe it was because the ad's blunt challenge and survey-style format was carefully calculated to appeal to his particular sort of male ego:
"Be honest now, how big is your dick? [ ] small [ ] medium [ ] MONSTER."
In fact, Dave had always been pretty vain about his package. 8 1/2 inches of heaven, he thought to himself complacently, and a slight twinge stirred in his groin. Back in college he'd sowed his share of wild oats, and it warmed his heart now to recall the little gasp of excitement and apprehension, the slight widening of her eyes, when some pretty girl laid eyes on his fully-erect rod for the first time. Awash in these happy memories, Dave's hand seemed to manipulate the mouse on its own, as the cursor wandered over to MONSTER and
clicked
.
He figured he'd see a website touting some penis enlargement product, or Viagra knock-off. Ha ha, the joke would be on them. Or, maybe the system would download a virus—ugh! But instead, a very unusual, very unexpected proposal appeared on the screen. As with the original popup, the copy on the page seemed perfectly designed to draw a man like Dave in further, step by small step: "Got a big dick? Is it stuck in the rut of just one woman? How'd you like to give your dick a little holiday, while making money at the same time? A LOT of money. A person with your unique endowment deserves nothing less!"
For a minute he almost clicked away, thinking it was some kind of male-escort racket. But as he comprehended the actual pitch, his interest became aroused. It turned out the solicitation was for participants in a gameshow, one he'd never heard of before (probably some streaming show or premium cable offering) called
The Biggest Dick
. Like its title, the game's setup appeared to be brutally straightforward. Married couples would compete for huge cash prizes. The winner of each competition was the guy with the biggest dick. And (last but far from least)... the winner would get to fuck the loser's wife!
Dave knew he should close the browser. This was retrograde, misogynist bullshit; dreck that appealed to a person's basest instincts; a throwback to a pre-historic mode of human existence. Yet he couldn't quite summon the will to turn away. His cock was fully awake now, summoned to life by the forbidden notions the page had awakened in his mind: of taking another woman—of taking someone else's woman—and of doing it whether she liked it or not. Then, too, there was something compelling in the brazenness of the pitch. This was a TV show, it was all out in the open, unapologetic, part of the entertainment-industrial complex. There was a kind of sanction to this, a license, that made it even more appealing to Dave.
In fact, Dave had been faithful to Brenda ever since they had gotten married 18 years before. Of course, that did not mean his eye had never strayed—"well, I
am
a man," Dave would no doubt have said if asked; but when pressed he would have had to admit that his fidelity did not stem from any deep moral compass. No, it would be more accurate to say that, when it came down to it, it had simply not fit his self-image to sneak around, to lie, to seduce with false promises. And, if he was being honest with himself, he also appreciated his happy family life, and didn't want to put it at risk. Moreover, Brenda was a fine lover, no doubt about it. Though she'd borne a couple of kids, she took care of herself, and at age 39 had a body that never failed to turn Dave on.
Still, after nearly two decades with the same partner, a certain routine, a degree of banality, was almost unavoidable. Now, as the website baited his ego with the lure of fresh and forceful conquest—tickling his mind with the idea of being with (being inside) someone new—Dave's predictable weekly trysts with Brenda paled accordingly in his memory. Suddenly, somewhere at the nexus between self-regard, lust, and ennui, something seemed to snap inside him. Damn straight, thought Dave, with a sharp mental nod to himself, I deserve a little more fire in life! A cock this fine ought to be introduced to a new woman once in a while! You know what, I'm going to do it!
OK, that was all well and good for Dave to decide for himself, but how could he get Brenda on board with such a crazy proposition? She was no prude, but still pretty conventional. Pretty risk-averse. How could she ever be reconciled with a 'game' that treated women as prizes? She disdained the idea of prostitution, he knew, and he suspected she would find this idea somehow even more degraded. Nor would she ever put her body at risk—she simply would not take the chance of being opened up to some random stranger, to be used at his discretion. No, he concluded regretfully, however tempting the idea might be to him, he would have to let it go. After all these years he understood his wife, and appearing on such a gameshow would simply never fly with her.
Even so, his cock remained stiff as he logged off.

Fate is a funny thing, though, and maybe it really was meant to happen. The answer to Dave's conundrum came by surprise that same afternoon when their elder son, Evan, bounced into the house after school. "Mom, Dad!" he shouted, "I got something back from Stanford! An envelope! A
thick
envelope!"
What? Dave thought. Evan was a sharp kid, but his grades weren't that hot. How the hell did he manage to squeak into Stanford? Right on the heels of that thought, however, came the inkling of a clever idea. A sly, brilliant idea.
This
was one lever that might conceivably shift Brenda's thinking.
That same night he brought up
The Biggest Dick
to her. He knew this would be a delicate operation, and that he would have to play his cards carefully. In fact, if he'd seen himself clearly at that moment, he would have been surprised by the ruthlessness of his manipulation. But he only had one thing on his mind. Taking a deep breath, he plunged in: "Brenda, you would not believe this game show I heard about on the internet..." In order to give it a little more legitimacy, he pretended he had heard about it in a 'media trends' article online. Using that as cover, he sketched the outlines of the game honestly (might as well rip off the bandage, he thought), yet with as positive a spin as he could manage for such a debauched notion.
As expected, she was outraged—in fact, she seemed disturbed that he would even bring it up, like it was a nightmare best left hidden away. "Dave, that's horrible!" she said, "that's like, like, cave men or something! Revenge of the jocks. Treating women like meat! God, what kind of society are we living in when it tolerates things like that going on?!"
