They confidently picture all the women they will be bedding outside the confines of monogamy. But in reality women always have more opportunities to find no-strings-attached sex, to the point where the difference is laughably unfair. Couples entering the swinging world quickly realize the average woman has her pick among an exponentially larger throng of willing partners than the average man.It is often an eye-opening experience for the woman, who perhaps for the first time in her life fully comprehends the level of power she wields in the erotic realm. If she can overcome the social conditioning and slut shaming the vast majority of females undergo as children, a whole new world opens up before her. In this world, she finds, high-status, alpha males she’d once considered “out of her league” are more than willing to sleep with her.For the man, the experience is often opposite. Unless he is himself a high-status, alpha male, (and, yes, penis size matters here—sorry, guys), fewer women are available to him. It’s Pareto’s Principle in action, the statistical 80/20 split that occurs in so many open markets: 80% of the world’s internet traffic goes to 20% of websites; 80% of film profits go to 20% of films; and 80% of the females will chase 20% of the high-status males.A lot of men get left on the sidelines. And yet Mother Nature, in her wisdom, offers such men compensatory pleasures. Faced with the incontrovertible truth of his sexual inferiority, a man’s sex drive will often turn back on itself, perhaps as a means of psychological self-defense. While watching his partner scale heretofore unknown heights of erotic bliss, he may find himself—often against his will—becoming sexually aroused. I’ve seen this happen with my own eyes. It’s a fascinating journey.The emotional cocktail known as “cuckold angst,” the disturbing and contradictory mixture of excitement, humiliation, and anger, rates as one of the most intensely erotic emotions a male can ever experience. Once accepted, it can become highly addictive.Indeed, this dynamic can become highly addictive to both partners, male and female. And like all addictions, the more you get, the more you need...This is the theme of my stories.view less
