Cuckoldress
Definition
A cuckoldress is a female dominant or partner who enjoys the humiliating or voyeuristic element of her submissive or husband watching while she has sexual contact with another man, often referred to as the bull.
Explanation of cuckoldress
The term cuckoldress comes from the English word cuckold, an older word for a man whose wife cheats on him. Within BDSM, however, the term has been transformed into a conscious and voluntary fetish, combining humiliation, power, and sexual control.
In a cuckolding dynamic, the woman – the cuckoldress – is in charge. She determines whether, with whom, and when there is sexual contact, while her submissive partner often watches, carries out orders, or is excluded. It can range from playful teasing to a deeply humiliating experience in which the sub is confronted with his own powerlessness and jealousy.
Not good enough
Some cuckoldresses experience it as a form of female power and sexual freedom: they consciously break with traditional role patterns in which women are supposed to be faithful and submissive. Others see it as part of a larger D/s game, in which the sub derives pleasure from humiliation, rejection, or the feeling of “not being good enough.”
The bull – the man with whom the cuckoldress has sex – can be a regular partner, a friend, or a temporary guest player. Sometimes he only plays the role of catalyst in the power game, sometimes he is a real part of the relationship. In all cases, the dynamic must be based on voluntariness, honesty, and communication; without that foundation, the experience turns into betrayal instead of play.
Within the Femdom world, the cuckoldress has become a symbol of self-aware female power: a woman who takes her own desires seriously, dares to show her sexuality, and does not shy away from taking control.
Safety & points of attention
Discuss clear boundaries and expectations with everyone involved in advance.
Practice safe sex and get tested for STIs regularly.
Be aware of emotional consequences such as jealousy or insecurity.
Aftercare is important, especially for the submissive who may experience intense sadness or humiliation.
Cuckold play requires maturity, trust, and respect; it is not a form of infidelity, but an agreed-upon dynamic.
