I find most of my readers just want the pure fantasy. Some readers want more character development and exploring consequences but that’s not really my thing.
Well, keep practicing then.Skill issue, imo
And I have people use "typical male teenage fantasy" as a criticism of my harem stories, so go figure.
Mine are definitely a typical fantasy. That’s why they’re popular, lots of people have the fantasy.
It’s not their loss, it’s the community’s. When a house is infested with roaches, the roaches aren't the problem; the problem is the owners who allowed the infestation to take hold.
this made me spit some coffee. that's really, really great. I somehow suspect you are not kidding!
Criticism? I’d take it as a compliment.
Got it in one, I reckon.
See above!
I would argue cuckolding (particularly interracial) is the "hottest" (as in, rapidly gaining in attention) kink in the world right now. It's driving social movements, the collapse of marriage, and is part of the global depopulation threat. It may be the most significant and impactful sexual fetish humanity has ever experienced.
That's over-stating it a tad. I'd say it's more about male insecurity, than a new world order. I don't get it at all - but that's just me.
The reasons are myriad. No phenomenon this large can be explained by a single factor, or even a handful of factors.
Sadly, I'm not.
Oh, I do. I get a good laugh each time as well.
Far more fantasy, and more often written about, than reality. Even 40 years ago, my wife mocked the whole scenario, though once or twice a year, she liked to sample some chocolate, as she termed it. She found that black men tended to believe their own hype, and she would use it to fuck with them. Women get bored with monogamy far sooner than men, and are more apt to sample strange and exotic experiences, and the color contrast, as much as anything else, is erotic.
And your evidence for this is...?
I think you, EB, and others are conflating your own concepts and opinions, and suggesting they're more prevalent than reality.
I would be happy to be shown that I'm starting from a misconception. I love being wrong, as it generally leads to me learning something. But I'm not sure what misconception you are referring to. Should I give you my definition of cuckolding and maybe you can tell me if it's right or wrong?
A is swinging
Your first definition I agree with as accurate. It's quantifiable and definitive in that the wife has sex without her husband's knowledge or approval, and she bears a child without telling him that it's not his, which he continues unknowingly to raise and support. I'd even go as far as saying she doesn't need to get pregnant, as long as her lover deposited his seed in her and the husband doesn't know about it.
I do not believe there are any formal studies to that effect. However, numerous sex researchers and sexual therapists, unrelated, say it, and even Lauren Russo, who is a counselor who specializes in marriage counseling for couples who are dealing with affairs, alludes to it.
I actually think we agree on a lot of this?
Research in this area is very poor, and most of is tremendously dogmatic (read: untrustworthy). I would disagree with the above statement. By volume, most of the porn these days is produced by independent contractors, most of whom are women, or come in the form of the massive romantasy genre, which is almost entirely female focused. Porn production studios are still around, of course, but they are relics of the past.
Do people get bored with monogamy or do they just stop communicating. I hate the ‘just grown apart’ thing. My husband told me that when he first started dating for a long term relationship he considered ‘just grew apart’ a red flag. What’s to stop that from happening again?
