Cuckholding is the act in which a man or woman enjoys watching their partner having sex with another person.

Cuckold, when used in a fetish context, describes the fetish of men who find masochistic pleasure in watching their wives have sex with other men.

The husband is, of course, aware and willing. This lack of participation, this feeling of being left out, is what many cuckhold fetishists enjoy. Another aspect of the cuckholding fetish is competition. Some psychosexual theories claim that men will desire their wives more if they've just had sex with another man because this allows the men's sperm to compete.
