Dear Emma,
I’m looking for validation and your comments on the absolutely astonishing rapidity of my embrace of not only the Hotwife lifestyle, but also my surprising transformative commitment to the BDSM lifestyle with my submissive cuckold husband. I am now his dominatrix wife.
My husband and I are both highly educated, affluent professionals. In addition, I’m also a part-time fashion model doing shoot once a month for a world renowned modeling agency in New York City. Sorry for the shameless bragging but I am an extremely attractive, and what some would call a trophy wife.
I am 33 years old, and although I’ve had my chances with other desirable men and women, had never cheated on my husband but my resolve to remain a loyal wife was waning.
About a year ago, my husband and I during a Friday night excursion to a nearby casino which we would often enjoy and gives me the opportunity to dress provocatively in public which I quite relish since I’d become very exhibitionistic after a relatively recent 34DD silicone breast augmentation, we were sitting up at the bar, and an attractive man asked me to dance. I looked at my husband and he said go ahead. I enjoyed several fast dances and ultimately a very slow close dance and found it quite satisfying to feel his hard cock against my lady parts.
When I got back to the barstool and my husband, I felt quite sheepish. He surprisingly had become very aroused seeing me flirting with another man. He asked me if I enjoyed it, and I said reluctantly that I certainly did. He then confessed that he had the fantasy of me fucking other men and urged me to pursue this man and hook up with him at the casino hotel that night, which absolutely floored me.
I was however extremely motivated to take him up on his offer, but I pretended that I would do it just to please him. I cautioned my husband that if I did this he better not throw this back in my face and he resoundingly admitted that he would not.
To make a long story short, I suggested to my husband that he become inconspicuous and move to a distant corner of the bar so that I could go to work on my new soon to be friend with benefits. In short, I pursued this man asked him to dance, and we spent several hours getting to know each other, enjoying cocktails, and ultimately decided to get a room to fuck.
My husband watched us walk out of the bar over to the convenience store at the hotel casino, and purchase some ribbed condoms.
I enjoyed the best sex of my life as this man was invested in my orgasms and made me cum multiple times, unlike my husband whom I rarely had an orgasm with. Emma is it unusual for a woman who had only had orgasms using a vibrator in private, to have rapid fire orgasm with another man, unlike her sexual experiences with her husband?
When my husband and I got home, his cock was harder than I had ever remembered, and he absolutely loved the fact that I had spread my legs for another man and gave me the green light in the future to seduce whomever I wished.
However, there’s a backstory to all this. My husband was genuinely aroused by my promiscuity with another man, but as I travel Monday through Friday for business, I came home early and unexpectedly found him in our marital bed with my best girlfriend fucking.
I was enraged at his betrayal and my girlfriend’s, and I took off my pencil thin, designer, black leather belt, and whipped them both severely. Although primarily motivated by revenge, I noted how sadistically arousing it was to inflict pain on them both. Is that unusual Emma?
My husband was petrified that I would divorce and leave him, after doing some research I became aware of, and the benefits of placing my husband in a chastity device to prevent any repeats. He resisted the idea, but I told him you will wear a chastity device or you will walk out the door permanently. So he acquiesced.
After much research I identified an internally spiked cock cage, which would punish his erections, and learning that the urethral tube would make urination more hygienic thus avoiding urinary tract infections, I chose a model with that feature.
Before I left for work on Sunday nights, I would recage him which he found quite traumatic. I felt a great sense of empowerment controlling his cock and punishing him. Is that unusual, Emma? When I got home one subsequent Friday evening, he asked if I would please take it off so we could fuck.
At first that routine seemed to work, but as I continued to seduce and fuck other men, I was shocked to find that I found having sex with my husband emotionally troubling. Is that unusual Emma? I had decided to permanently cage him and deny him sex or masturbation is this shocking that I would become so sadistic?
During a business trip, I enjoyed sex with two other men, one of which was accompanied by his wife who intimated they had a fantasy of him fucking another woman and wanted to watch. I thought that was a cute scenario and agreed.
When he rolled off me, she crouched at the end of the bed and went down on me and quite frankly gave me the best oral sex of my life. Women know what women like in the touch of another woman is not to be missed in my view now.
I had always been mildly aroused by extremely attractive women dressed provocatively, and was bisexually curious like many women. However, I absolutely embraced my new bisexuality wholeheartedly. Is that so unusual?
My husband began to complain about his caging, and I recalled the satisfaction and arousal of having used my belt to whip him in the past. I like the finer things in life and made contact with an Australian whip maker and had a very expensive custom-made black leather horsewhip, and black leather cat of Ninetails manufactured with extremely long handles. I’m 5 foot 10 tall, like most models,and with the addition of a pair of 6 inch non-platform, fetish height stilettos I could barely reach my husband’s back and bottom with a belt.
To make a long story short, I ultimately had my husband attach hooks in the basement beams, and have begun to whip him severely on Sunday nights before my business trips. This floggings became more and more severe as I totally embraced my dominatrix wife persona. I am embarrassed to admit or maybe I’m not, that he has permanent scars on his back and ass from his whippings. Unusual?
I have found your blog incredibly helpful and validating Emma. I’m very careful about my sexual health and insist on condom use until my lovers get tested.
However, recently, I wanted to make my husband watch me fuck to torture him. I put him in bondage and put on a good show with my lover, and when we were through, I pegged my husband in the ass for a pleasurable prostate orgasm and a pre-cum release through the urethral tube of his cage.
But then I did something that shocked me. I grabbed him by the hair on the back of his head as I pumped his ass, and forced his mouth down on my lovers’s cock and ordered him to clean him up and to make him again for me. My husband is not bisexual, but he is now obedient and submissive. Emma was at an unusual move? My boyfriend is bisexual and we are considering having him fuck my husband in the ass on a future Saturday night. Emma are these desires on my part and my lover so unusual? I absolutely love breaking my husband, physically and emotionally. My boyfriend and I find it very empowering to have him satisfying him orally. An unusual evolution?
I appreciate your response to my questions and will continue to be educated and encouraged by your many wonderful articles. I have taken heart so many of your “evolving your man” posts. They have made me feel less isolated.
Thank you for your time and for your responses.
Cordially,
Catherine
Oh Catherine…
First, thank you for being brave enough to share your story. You wrote to me looking for validation, and while I can’t say this one left me nodding in admiration, I can say that it made me think. Your letter is fascinating but not for the reasons I think you hoped. Because buried inside the layers of drama, chastity cages, and whips are some genuinely important questions about what consent, power, and love really mean when we start blending sex with domination.
I don’t publish letters like yours often but aside from a couple minor tweaks for readability, I published your letter without alteration. Frankly, parts of it sound more like fap fodder than a real exploration of love or growth. But I decided to post it because some of your questions are good ones and I wanted to call out the traps and the mistakes you’re making. Whether fap fodder or not, some of the questions you posed are the same ones that new dominant wives stumble through when the fantasy starts feeling intoxicating and they feel the erotic power. So this is going to be a bit of a reality check, with affection and appreciation for sharing your story.
You call yourself a dominatrix wife and that’s fine. But let’s remember what that word really means. In a female-led relationship, the woman may take the lead, but she’s still leading a partnership, not running a prison camp. Dominance isn’t about inflicting pain or punishment for your own emotional catharsis. It’s about taking responsibility for the energy in your relationship and creating a container of trust and safety for both you and your husband. When trust and safety are lost, everything else starts to rot from the inside out.
Power Exchange Not Power Trip
You say you “whipped him severely” and found it “sadistically arousing.” You mention he has scars. You say you “make him watch to torture him.” Catherine, I’m going to stop you right there. That’s not domination. That’s destruction. That’s abuse.
In a consensual D/s relationship, power is a shared playground. It’s an ongoing conversation of yes, please, more, stop, and are you okay? Red, yellow, green. Both partners co-create the script. When you start using words like “make him,” “punish him,” or “torture him,” it’s no longer about him submitting, it’s about you taking. And that’s not erotic dominance. That’s revenge and abuse in lingerie.
Now, if your husband truly consents if he’s an adult man fully aware, asking for pain or humiliation as part of his kink, and you’ve agreed to those boundaries together, that’s a different conversation. BDSM can absolutely involve pain, humiliation, and catharsis. But it must always be mutually designed, and it must always end in care. That’s not what this sounds like because there’s little discussion of conversation, of negotiation, discussion of his needs. What does he get from submission?
I’m not here to kink-shame you for enjoying control, or for finding power arousing. I certainly do and many of my readers do. What concerns me is the language of cruelty rather than compassion and love. You seem to get turned on by his helplessness rather than his willingness. And that distinction is the key distinction that I try to make on this site.
Consent is Sexy
Catherine, when you said you “forced” your husband to service your lover, my whole body clenched, and not in the fun way. That isn’t consent. That isn’t submission. That’s coercion. The concern is that it seems to be NC not CNC – non-consent vs consensual non-consent.
In a healthy modern marriage dynamic, the husband’s arousal comes from his choice to surrender. That choice is his power, a power that is his to surrender. You might be the one giving direction, but he’s the one giving permission. The moment you start forcing him into acts he hasn’t explicitly agreed to, the trust dies and once it’s gone, the eroticism collapses with it. There’s nothing hot about it
Watching your wife with another man can be emotionally overwhelming because it is supposed to be. That’s the thrill of it, the heart pounding jealousy, the ache, the surrender. But it should also be safe, loving, and nourishing. He’s not there to be broken. He’s there to offer this part of him because you both crave to experience something profound together. An experience that pushes emotional and sexual boundaries while deepening your connection.
So if you decide to progress toward a dynamic where your bull dominates your husband, that should never be about your boyfriend’s conquest or your own sadistic curiosity. It must be about your husband’s consensual submission. The shared desire to explore that energy with him not do it to him. You don’t make him watch “to torture him.” You invite him to watch because it heightens the emotional charge you both crave and while he might describe some aspects of the experience as torture, it isn’t really because he always has a safe word. If that distinction sounds subtle, it’s not. It’s the difference between play and abuse.
Erotic energy, not emotional punishment
What you’re describing weekly whippings, spiked cages, public humiliation — doesn’t sound like a relationship growing closer. It sounds like a couple bleeding out under the guise of kink.
You say you found it “sadistically arousing.” Okay. Let’s talk about that. Sadism real sadism can exist in a healthy D/s relationship when it’s balanced by empathy. Many dominant partners enjoy the sensation of control, the ritual of discipline, the art of pain as communication. A sort of non-verbal communication that transcends what words can convey. But that energy must be in service of connection and it should always come with tenderness, aftercare, and attunement.
Aftercare isn’t optional. It’s where the actions of dominance are framed into words of love. It’s the part where the dominant wipes away the tears, soothes the skin, kisses the bruises, and whispers “You’re mine, and you’re safe.” Female-led relationships can heal old wounds for both of you and make you feel the power of dominance and allow him to explore safe erotic power of submission. When done right, it can bring a couple closer than ever. When done wrong, they create trauma and distance.
Is This Kind of Transformation Unusual?
Some of your questions were quite human and relatable so whether real or not, let’s take them at their face value and answer them.
Is it unusual to suddenly experience more powerful orgasms with another man? Not at all. Novelty and emotional liberation can awaken dormant arousal pathways. A new lover who focuses on your pleasure might make you feel more desired than you’ve felt in years and that will often trigger multiple orgasms. But the real question is why your husband wasn’t doing that before. Instead of replacing him, use the discovery to teach him what works for you.
Is it unusual to feel aroused by power after punishing someone? Again, no. Power is erotic. Anger, control, and release all travel the same neural pathways as sexual arousal. But erotic dominance is about integrating that awareness into your dynamic, not letting it dominate you.
Is it unusual to find bisexual curiosity after a same-sex experience? Not in the slightest. Sexuality is fluid, especially when we give ourselves permission to explore. But bisexuality isn’t a kink trophy. It’s another language of intimacy. Handle it with the same care you’d offer any lover. Where it becomes unusual, or at least unhealthy is when power and punishment replace intimacy because the goal is connection through love.
The allure of control can feel delicious especially if you’ve been raised to be the good girl, the pleaser, the wife who never says no. Stepping out of that role and suddenly having authority over your husband can feel intoxicating. It’s like finding a way to step into your own power for the first time. But that doesn’t mean the relationship becomes a performance of cruelty.
A dominant wife in a healthy FLR isn’t a tyrant but a guide, a teacher, guidance based on loving authority. She uses her power to build trust, reinforce connection, and create erotic vitality. The best dominants understand psychology at a very deep level and they use control to create a safe place for willing submission, not a treacherous place for fearful submission.
Try building scenes that reaffirm your husband’s devotion rather than his humiliation. Even humiliation can and should be consensual. Try pegging him not as punishment, but as a way to open his body and heart to deeper intimacy. Let him cry because submitting to your love is beautiful, not because it hurts too much. Let him watch you with your lover because it excites you both, not because you want to punish him. When you lead from empathy, you’ll be surprised how much more your husband will willingly surrender and how much closer you will become.
Where Does Catherine Go From Here?
You have the bones of something extraordinary. Your relationship seems to be built on honesty, erotic exploration, and raw courage but you’re turning play into punishment. Slow down. Sit down with your husband and rebuild the foundation of consent. Establish a safeword. Discuss limits. Clarify what you both genuinely want from this dynamic. Because right now, it sounds like he’s not being heard and you’re mistaking his silence for obedience.
Bring in a kink-aware therapist. I’m serious. Professionals exist who understand modern marriage dynamics and can help you navigate the emotional side without shame or harm. You’ve got intensity, but intensity without mindfulness can burn everything you love. It’s like you are firing a gun for the first time, and your therapist is the gun safety instructor that you so desperately need. Let’s get that CCW license for your relationship. That’s a fairly US centric reference but hopefully it carries for whomever it resonates with.
The goal isn’t to break your husband. The goal is to bond with him. Submission is a gift, his gift. A gift that must be given freely for it to have any value, not taken by force. Whether Catherine’s email was real or fantasy, remember that our power doesn’t come from the ability to make men suffer. It comes from our ability to connect deeply in languages that transcend words..
