Hi Talia!
Initially I leaned toward PIED (porn induced erectile dysfunction) which may play a part but I don't think it is the full answer. Cuckolding involves deriving pleasure from witnessing one’s partner receive sexual stimulation by another person. There are links between cuckolding, anxiety and erectile dysfunction. Let’s start by considering some of the benefits of taking your cuckoldry to the next level.
Cuckoldry can be an enlivening approach to kinks and intimacy. For example, those who struggle to satisfy their partner sexually due to a medical condition may find that cuckoldry presents an opportunity for both parties to experience pleasure.
It also provides people with an opportunity to broaden their sexual horizons and explore ways of being that flout restrictive ideas about fidelity and relationships. When practiced consensually, cuckoldry can be enjoyable, empowering and exciting for all parties. However, there are also some possible downsides that should be considered.
Consider what makes cuckolding exciting for consenting adults who enjoy this kink. For starters: cuckolding is counter-cultural, challenging societal norms of monogamy. It is transgressive, and there is a lot of taboo surrounding this practice and that may expose a person to stigma.
In addition, cuckoldry can trigger or exacerbate fears of sexual inadequacy. Many find themselves wondering: what if my partner comes to prefer another over myself? What if this leads my partner to become unfaithful? What if cuckoldry makes them rethink the relationship after experiencing a different or better perceived form of sexual satisfaction?…
