Being a 'cuckold', aka being cheated on, is often seen as a negative thing - I probably don't need to explain why to those of you who prefer a monogamous relationship.
However, there are some people who actively want to be a cuckold, so much so that they've nicknamed themselves 'cucks'.
It might be hard to get your head around if the thought of your partner touching another person makes your stomach churn and your fists curl in anger, but everyone has their own thing, and for cucks it's being cheated on, sometimes right in front of their eyes.

Cucks derive sexual gratification from watching or knowing that their partner is having sex with other people, and psychologist Dr David Dey has claimed that as many as 20 percent of men in the US fantasise about 'cheating wives'.
In an interview with Vice, 37-year-old David recalled lying to his wife and telling her he had been cheating, in a bid that then she would herself cheat to get revenge.
David, who later began attending sex addiction meetings after cuckolding became an issue for him, said he became 'obsessed with watching' his wife by looking in mirrors and seeing her from different angles.

"I eventually came clean and told her about my urges. I was really drunk and it took a lot for me to say it. She agreed to try it out if it was going to make our relationship stronger and bring it back to where it was," he said.
David and his wife organised to meet a man who she could sleep with, and he described the moment the scene unfolded before him. "The bloke was really drilling her. And I just sat there. Letting it all take over me. It’s like your head knows it shouldn’t be exposed to this, it’s not geared for this and then it happens. And your sex life becomes something else. It’s complex and erupting against itself."
David's wife soon 'got over' the idea of sleeping with random people so he decided to 'do something' about his urges, but he admitted that 'deep inside' he still wants it.
Another man, Vince, thought about other men sleeping with his wife while in prison, and explained that while he 'never want[s] to be there as it happens', he would enjoy thinking about her cheating and hearing her stories when it actually happened.

For 35-year-old Sebastian, his urges began at a swingers party where he saw his wife have sex with 'two huge men'.
He recalled: "Her eyes were locked on me. It was an amazing rush. When she moans, it sounds different with other men. I don't know, it’s not distance, it’s just different when it’s not you doing it."
Sebastian remembered high-fiving the men who slept with his wife, explaining: "We were all sharing and everything was about manners first, they politely ask. And then it’s on. You couldn’t take the smile off my face."
