Hey Jay,
As no one else has responded, I have some thoughts on this for you.
1) I'm not sure if someone will step forward and say they're living that cuckold lifestyle, complete with belittling and humilation. But I do believe there are guys like that out there -- possibly some even on this board.
2) While I've seen people offer several different definitions of a cuckold, most include that abuse and relegation of power as vital components of the definition. Submission seems to be the key. Some definitions describe a cuckold as merely the husband of an adulterous wife. But that simple definition doesn't seem fit the label, in my opinion. Since there seems to be a variety of slightly varying definitions, obviously opinions will vary, too. And many people will feel differently about whether that label fits them or not.
3) For my part, I agree with you. That humiliation and belittling, the relinquishment of power and self respect have no place in a relationship. I mean, to each his own. But it doesn't work for me. My wife and I have shared in various extramarital activities for years. I enjoy watching her with others. But it's with my permission and/or encouragement. And it's a turn on for me. Watching her is like my own personal live porn movie with my favorite starlet in the leading role. But it's a totally different ball game if I'm being told what's going to play out, and with who, and when. Not for me, and she would never do it. So I don't think the cuckold label fits me. Some might disagree, but I reject the label. I don't begrudge the guys who live that lifestyle, but I don't get it either.
4) All that said, I like most of the pics and text on this thread. It's always hot to see a woman in her element, owning her own sexuality, and being assertive about getting her needs met. Some of them go a bit far for my taste. But that's okay. I derive pleasure from the ones I like and don't get too worked up about the ones I don't.
Just my two cents.
