A Woman’s Sister Accused Her Of Using A “Slur” For Referring To Her Husband’s Cuckolding Fetish

Because I believe in consent, I am going to write at the top of this post that if you continue reading, you may learn quite a bit about a fetish you may then wish you never heard about. While you can stop reading at any time, it might be too late. On the other hand, you might find something new that you would enjoy sexually. Who’s to say? Go forward at your own risk.

This story comes from Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole from someone’s throwaway account, u/TheCWordAITA. She says she’s a woman, and she has a sister who into pretty kinky sex with her husband. He has a cuckolding fetish and enjoys watching his wife have sex with other men, then he eats their semen out of her. If you’re clutching your pearls, I’ll tell you for context that this is actually a pretty common kink. So much so, that most people are familiar with the words “cuck” and “cuckolding,” even if they’ve never had their sister describe graphic sex acts to them. 

Because of her sister’s comfort with discussing exactly how her brother-in-law gets off, the OP assumed she was free to discuss it back:

“I recently came across this book on Amazon about “hotwifing” and I linked it to her, saying “since Steve is a cuck I assume he’d get a kick out of this.” No response…odd. I thought maybe I misunderstood the books premise but whatever.

Then I get a response in EMAIL later, with Steve CCed, saying that it’s unacceptable for me to call him “the C word” because that’s a name only those in the cuckold community can use for each other, and that unless I personally plan to cuck Steve (theyre not asking me to, obviously) that I can’t call him a cuck. She said that from now on any communications about Steve have to be said with him on the thread and I need to apologize for the slur.

This feels…extra, I mean…a slur to me is related to race/gender but not a kink that someone chooses. She stopped short of saying this is the N word for the hotwifing community but did say she would liken it to the F word (the homophobic one.)

I didn’t apologize the way she wanted…I said I’m sorry I said it, but this new policy of cc’ing Steve is super weird and I’m worried it might Also be a kink?”

Before getting to the comments, I’m going to weigh in on this one. Kink-shaming is bad and should be discouraged. Likening the word cuck to a homophobic attack is delusional, especially when referring to a straight couple who have optionally decided to share their business with outside parties.

No one needs to know what this lady and her husband get up to (except their third sex partner). And because there is usually an element of humiliation to cuckolding already, the OP’s feeling that this bizarre email arrangement is now part of the couple’s fetish is probably spot on.

And that’s pretty much what everyone said:

Kinks are fine, fetishes are fun. But forcing your family to know about them and then punishing them for being open about it definitely makes you the a**hole. Case closed.
