Could someone clue me in here without making fun of me?
What is a cuckold?
I thought it was a miss-spelling of "cock hold", which would make more sense as a third party in a handjob, but since this spelling is used by everyone, it must be something that this virgin doesn't know about.

Leave this thread open for more questions in the future.

Not to worry. A cuckold is a (traditionally) husband whose wife has sex with other men. Until recently, it was always considered a demeaning term. However, with time has come a following of men who enjoy their SO's having sex with other men, either in their presence or not.
 
I thought it meant that it was when a man was "cuckholded" when another man was sleeping with his wife.......

but I may have MY spelling wrong......

You'll find some interesting info on the history of the word if you go here:

*edit: You might also find the What do these terms mean? thread to be helpful.
The first link was more interesting than the second, which I read just before I ate!

I always thought the term "horny" came from a "horn toad" who is mating (frog on frog action).
Could it have come from a castrated rooster (AKA cock)?

That's not altogether true.
A cuckold is a term for a married man after a woman other than his wife agrees to have sex with him.
It is also the term for a married man after his wife agrees to have sex with another man.
The name is basically the alternate of "home wrecker" for a woman.

Does she know you know, and would she let you watch?


I don't think I could watch. I started a thread to seek advice. If you have any ideas please let me know.
 
Sex dictionary

I have looked things up here a time or two.

My understanding of a cuckhold is a married man who knows his wife has affairs yet accepts it -- sort of a submissive attitude or stance maybe, kind of, huh? ; ) Might be a self-esteem issue or behavior, does not stand up to claim his wife as his kind of thing?

Oh I don't know! ; )

This is not a reliable source.
It also says cyber sex is sexual interaction with another via a computer connection.
This is "Virtual Sex".
"Cyber Sex" does not have to include real interaction or a conection between computers.
Cyber Sex doesn't even have to be on a computer, it just needs to be a digital representation (eg: sexual AI on a monitor).

You should probably look in Wikipedia first to compare.
I don't think that's very reliable either, but it is more thorough than your source.

This site's definition of a "Voyeur" "An individual who gets sexual gratification from watching other people perform sexual acts," is also wrong.
The individual does not need to be stimulated, nor does the person need to be watching any kind of act, including sexual ones.
The definition of a voyeur is one who visually invades the privacy of another, that's it!

A voyeur can even be one who secretly recorded someone and never saw the tape (until caught), which happened to Stephanie Fuller, who started a New York video voyeurism law.

Signed into law on 23 June 2003, "Stephanie's Law" prohibits "unlawful surveillance," which is defined as (1) the installation of "an imagining device" with no legitimate purpose other than surreptiously viewing or recording another person in a bedroom, bathroom, changing room, or other specified room; (2) for the purposes of sexual arousal or gratification, the use or installation of an imagining device that surreptiously views a person dressing or undressing when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy; (3) the use or installation of an imagining device to surreptiously view under the clothing of a person (commonly known as "upskirting"); or (4) for amusement, entertainment or profit, or to abuse or degrade the victim, the use or installation of an imaging device to surreptiously record another person dressing or undressing when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. A person who is found guilty of these crimes, which are rated as class D felonies, can be sentenced to a jail term of between 2 and 7 years, and, if so sentenced, must register with the State's Sex Offender Registry after release.
This law has been altered just a bit to exclude security, safety, and medical purposes.
Also to ommit fines for the consented use or installment of shower, toilet, bedroom, etc. video cameras or Webcams.

I personally think the invention of RFID tags should have stayed on wild animals and livestock, and GPS units and chips should only be used by and used on city officials, the government, and royalty, not on American, European, and Asian citizans.

I don't believe the sex registry bit is an immediate act now, more like a "RED FLAG" until done a second time.
This does not mean it should be done just 1 time like a parking ticket.

By the way, that's "imaging" not "imagining".

Cockold: -

Word History: The allusion to the cuckoo on which the word cuckold is based may not be appreciated by those unfamiliar with the nesting habits of certain varieties of this bird. The female of some Old World cuckoos lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving them to be cared for by the resident nesters. This parasitic tendency has given the female bird a figurative reputation for unfaithfulness as well. Hence in Old French we find the word cucuault, composed of cocu, “cuckoo, cuckold,” and the pejorative suffix -ald and used to designate a husband whose wife has wandered afield like the female cuckoo. An earlier assumed form of the Old French word was borrowed into Middle English by way of Anglo-Norman. Middle English cokewold, the ancestor of Modern English cuckold, is first recorded in a work written around 1250.

If you wanna get technical. ;)

Sorry for going off track like that.
I was just angry a professional site like that would post misinformation of the simplest words.

Virtual Sex - Sexual real interaction via a computer network
Cyber Sex - Arousing virtual interaction of a pornographic or erotic digital representation
It would be a good idea for someone to say something to them about it.

The next derivation is "Horny".
I assumed it came from the capons (severed testical parts worn in comb) of a castrated rooster, but it may have actually come from rams who butt horns to win a mate.
This also may explain why erotic films once were called "Stag Films".

The word horny "sexually excited, lecherous" derives from an interesting yet not surprising source. As early as the mid-18th century, an erection was known as a horn or the horn, simply because it looked a bit like one. James Joyce even used the term in his Ulysses. From there, any man having the horn was called horny, and this is first recorded in 1889. It was surely in use long before then, as the horn probably was. It often takes some time for lewd slang to make it into the written record.

Stag

ADJECTIVE: 1. Of or for men only: a stag party. 2. Pornographic: stag films.

ADVERB: Unaccompanied: went to the dance stag.

INTRANSITIVE VERB: Inflected forms: stagged, stag·ging, stags
To attend a social gathering unaccompanied by a partner. Used especially of men.

ETYMOLOGY: Middle English stagge, from Old English stagga.

Next. :D

Stag has more definitions than that, and explains quite a bit in sexuality, as in an unbroken (or virgin) young stallion.
http://www.meriam-webster.com/dictionary/stag
The first entry is what I was thinking of.
A "Red Deer" is like an elk.

There is a fern in Australia called a Staghorn Platycerium grande, and another called a Elkhorn Platycerium bifurcatum.

Before an argument breaks out on "fuck", read this:

The young male deer are driven out of the herds by the mature stags, so that they can't fukka or ficken or fock the females of the herd. Ergo you often see younger male deer (stags) on their own or in single sex herds, so they are going stag, without female companionship.

Fuck

Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris,” that is, “fleas, flies, and friars.” The line that contains fuck reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.” The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “they [the friars] are not in heaven, since.” The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields “fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].”

p.s. I use dictionary.com amongst others ;)

By George I think he's got it!

The previous terms used (fukka, fock, and ficken) were probably influenced by this poem.

You must really like etymology. ;)

I don't know why that link didn't work.
I Googled fukka fock ficken to find it.
