What is the difference between hotwifing and cuckolding?
Both involve a wife having sex with other men with her husband's knowledge and consent, but the tone differs. Hotwifing emphasizes the husband's pride and pleasure in his wife's sexual freedom — he is an enthusiastic enabler. Cuckolding emphasizes the husband's submissive, voyeuristic, or humiliation-inflected role — he is positioned as inferior to the "bull" who has sex with his wife. Many couples sit somewhere on a spectrum between the two and may not pick a label at all.
