Jenna's eyes sparkled with something between curiosity and command. She held James’ cock in both hands now, marveling like it was some rare, precious artifact.
“Mark,” she said gently, “I want you to feel it. Really feel it. The weight of it.”
Mark froze, unsure if his legs would carry him closer.
“James,” she asked, turning slightly, “can he touch it?”
James gave a calm nod. “Of course. If he wants to.”
And Mark did. Or at least, something inside him did. He wasn’t sure if it was hunger, humiliation, arousal, or submission. Maybe all of them at once. He kneeled in front of them—his own pants still at his ankles—and reached out. His fingers wrapped around the thick shaft Jenna had been holding moments before.…
Just so I’m clear in my mind before I comment, are all the people involved in the story either bisexual or pansexual as the answer will play a large part in my response to this.
They all are consenting and that is what matters. We may get more about sexuality later.
Thanks for your response and in my mind it answers my question, but possibly not in the way you expect.
If I am straight and in an FLR and my wife orders me either explicitly or by inference such as is the case here, to engage in sexual activity that is not straight, and I do not have a safeword (since apparently FLR men aren’t even given that basic right that subs in BDSM scenes are given) then even if I have consented to be in the FLR and agreed to the meeting of the couples, unless my wife has explicitly told me in advance that this non straight activity will be taking place.
Then the action of my wife ordering me either explicitly or by inference, to carry out non straight sexual activity is, by using the threat of punishment including physical impact punishment, make my forced acceptance of the non straight sexual activity non consensual.
This is because I have no way to refuse her command since I have no safeword, and no way to exit the situation without punishment since in FLRs men are expected to obey all commands instantly under the threat of punishment as laid down in the FLR.
In other words, she’s using the FLR and it’s agreed upon threats of punishment (either physical, humiliation, degradation etc), as a way of forcing me to carry out acts against my will since I will not willingly carry out a non-straight sexual act unless there is some threat being made. This makes the scene in your story at the least sexual assault by both the wife, the other man and possibly the other lady too since by not objecting she is tacitly supporting the threats being made against me (depending on how much she’s aware of the situation).
This is what is so troubling and dare I say sickening to me about this type of FLRs which include such kinks since unlike BDSM relationships where scenes are of a limited timescale and include extensive genuine aftercare to both parties. Whereas in FLRs the man is expected to be living the scene 24-7, he doesn’t have a safeword to exit the scene and such ‘aftercare’ that exists, is purely focused on if she’s ok and his thoughts and feelings are irrelevant since in this type of FLR, only her pleasure and feelings matter.
I use Emma’s blogs on cuckolding for examples of so called ‘aftercare’ when the only things that is focused on is if she had a good time and if she’s ok, does she need a bath and a massage, does her body need cleaning with his tongue? It ignores whether he’s mentally ok after going through the humiliation and degradation of being forced to watch his wife being fucked by another man and her telling him how much better the other man is in every way, and insulting his body, his penis size, his stamina and the fact he can not satisfy her at all.
Therefore both in your story and in Emma’s cuckolding blog scenarios, the men have been reduced to the status of sex toys who will be used and abused however the wife wants and he has no way to exit the situation since he doesn’t have a safeword and there is the ever present threat of physical punishment hanging over him for breaking the FLR. I’d be safer going to a dominatrix than entering into such a FLR since at least I’d have a safeword and wouldn’t be expected to live inside a scene with no safeword 24-7.
Ergo, unless the man in your story is explicitly bisexual or pan sexual, this situation is rape at worst and sexual assault at ‘best’ since the man would not wish to carry out non straight sexual activity and yet CANNOT refuse and still remain within the terms of the FLR, and cannot avoid the punishment laid down in the FLR unlike a sub in a BSDM scene who can use their safeword to refuse.
To force a straight man to carry out a sexual act against their sexual identity, using threats of punishment under the terms of the FLR, and without a safeword, is rape or sexual assault even if that man previously consented to submitting to their wife in the FLR, unless the wife explicitly told him he what he would be doing and he explicitly agreed, preferably in front of witnesses or with a signed document. An FLR is not a blank cheque for a woman to order her man to do ANYTHING she wants, using the argument “well you signed the agreement to obey me in all things.”
So for you to say ‘they are all consenting and that is what matters’, is deeply troubling since you appear not to understand how complex consent can be in such a complicated situation as an FLR with no safeword.
