Somewhere between swinging, interracial and humiliation porn lies the freak show that is cuckolding porn. At the moment of writing this, Watching My Hot Wife 4 from New Sensations was No. 1 on AVN’s chart for the Top 50 Specialty Rentals. Why is this? Because horny husbands who are not getting enough sex at home want to watch their wives have sex with someone else. Sex therapists and marriage counselors report that the number of couples who want this kind of sexual encounter is … swelling.
“I have heard this more often than you would think,” says certified clinical sexologist Dr. Dawn Michael, from Thousand Oaks, California. “There is a small population of men and couples who engage in "cuckold" relationships” she says, and she has heard more than one wife say, “My husband told me he wants me to have sex with other men.”
A “cuck” is a husband who watches his wife have sex with another man—and enjoys it. He often is insecure about his small penis and feels so inadequate that he needs to bring in an outside stud to plow his wife. Pornhub reports that cuckold porn is one of the fastest growing categories with a 57 percent rise in searches and 1.75 million peeps going to the site looking for some hot “wife sharing,” and hopefully some “wife tasting.” So apparently lots of people enjoy it, including the white “hot wife” who gets to get it on with a big black Mandingo with a 10-inch monster. Who says marriage has to be boring? You may both kiss the bride.
And don’t forget the lesbian cuckolding, cougar cuckolding, creampie cuckolding, gay male cuckolding, small penis humiliation cuckolding, BDSM cuckolding, and something to look forward to as you get older: granny cuckolding.
An Oral History of ‘Cuckold’
The word cuckold derives from Old French for the cuckoo bird, which lays its eggs in other birds’ nests. The kinky sex practice is hardly new; the fetish has been around since the 1380s, when Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about it in The Canterbury Tales. Leopold von Sacher Masoch, the 1880s writer who coined the term “masochism,” found it interesting too and also wrote about it.
According to Una Mclivenna of the University of Melbourne, “during the Renaissance, from the 16th to the 18th centuries, Europe had a cultural obsession with cuckoldry. The womb, it was believed, could move more independently around a woman’s body, causing her to lose control. Thus, if a man were married, his wife was obviously cheating on him. This infidelity would case the poor husband to grow invisible horns, the ultimate symbol of cuckoldry.”
More recently the word “cuck” has been used by alt right conservatives to emasculate their opponents. But a great thing just happened in that “cuck” is now used to describe Donald Trump as being Vladimir Putin’s bitch.
The Psychology of Cuckold Couples
Since a big aspect of cuckolding is the “Mandingo Fetish,” many scenarios involve the cucking order of humiliation. The “bull” with apparent schlong elephantitis humiliates the hotwife, who humiliates the cuck. A typical scenario, in real life as well as in porn, could be the big black bull sticking it to the dewy white wife as the husband sits on the couch wearing only a wrestling mask. Psychologically, part of the excitement plays on the fear and taboo aspect of interracial sex.
In the cuckold classic My Mom’s Fucking Blackzilla, while the bull bangs the hot mom, pillow talk starts with him calling her a cracker. “Yeah, fuck me with that big black dick,” she responds. Then he calls her a “white honky.”
“Cuckyboy angst” is the state of mind a cuckold has while watching his wife getting banged by an alpha male stud. The state of mind is described as a combination of lust, arousal, intense jealousy and humiliation, which creates a “drug-induced state of mind,” according to a cuck who enjoys the cucky lifestyle.

To Have and to Cuckold
Gamma Films, which produces Pure Taboo and Girlsway content, has debuted six tales of POV-style cuckoldry in its newest Adult Time original porn series, Be the Cuck, at BeTheCuck.com.
Each weekly episode treats viewers to “so wrong, but so right” cuck sex from the point of view of the humiliated, hapless, loser husband. The series features Sarah Vandella, Ashley Adams, India Summer, Alexis Fawx and Rachael Cavalli.
Scenarios include one where the hubby catches the wife at the wrong place at the wrong time, as well as a scene where the husband watches the cheating wife get plowed by the alpha bull. Be the Cuck features six scenes of dominating wives “husband humliating,” as each episode takes the viewer on a different cuckold experience.
"This was our first venture into the world of immersive POV storytelling," said Bree Mills, Gamma Films’ head of production and Be the Cuck’s producer. "We didn't want to take the traditional route, so we studied how mainstream cinematographers are creating first-person films and then adopted many of those techniques into creating this adult series.”
To produce a more immersive intimacy, director Craven Moorehead shot the scenes using a custom-built head rig—rather than employing traditional POV angles—to create the FPS shooter feeling that is often found in video games for a more up-close-and-personal feel.
“Cuckolding is a popular niche, but you rarely get to experience what it actually feels like to be a cuck,” added Mills. “We changed that."

Take Me Please! And You Can Have My Husband!
Dee Severe, of Severe FIlms, says, “We have perennially done cuckold content, and my husband/business partner Jimmy Broadway has done 450 scenes. He is "everybody's husband,” she jokes.
A former mainstream filmmaker, screenwriter and even a dominatrix, Severe says she is retired as a performer and now directs and edits the movies she and Broadway produce. She has some thoughts on why men like to watch the cuckold genre. “It’s the humiliation factor—if you get off on humiliation, it's a great genre,” she says.
“If it's "forced bi" cuckold, where the cuckold has to give the stud a blowjob, some guys like to watch that ’cause they don't want to admit to themselves they want to watch male gay porn. Which cuckold isn't, technically,” she says. “If it's the more non-humiliating derivations like hotwives—where the husband is into watching—there's a voyeurism aspect.”
And finally, she says, “Sometimes the non-humiliating variety just becomes a b/b/g scene, which is always fun, and there aren't enough of those in porn.” Not going to argue with that.
