To my knowledge, "cuckold" is an archaic term for a man or woman who's partner cheated on them. To date, it is used as internet slang for a political insult and (most commonly) to describe an individual who "gets off" watching their partner have sex with another.

The tag "cuckold" or "cuckolding" seems to imply the "cheating" tag, though it's to my knowledge that the two do not go hand in hand.

On /post/show/1062462 you can see one character having sex with another in front of what is implied to be his partner; along with the usual "he's so much bigger" taunt that generally goes along with the cuckolding fetish. It looks very consensual on all parties (the boyfriend isn't mad, his boyfriend's playfully mocking him about it, etc.), yet tagging it as "cuckolding" immediately implied the cheating tag.

I have no idea if this has been discussed before and don't have anything more to say. But it's to my knowledge that there can be discussed and agreed upon cuckolding. I don't personally think it's wise, but it seems rude to imply that consensual swinging is infidelity; and outdated to assume the majority of people use "cuckolding" to describe adultery.

Due to TWYS, Cuckold is more "Somebody's to the side being made to watch two people having sex," nothing to do with cheating. It can often involve bondage, but could involve being locked behind a door or something instead. It can be shown that the one being made to watch is in a relationship with one of the other two, but does not have to be. +1 for Unalias.

There is no such alias or implication. Although Netorare should probably be aliased.

This is incorrect both historically and in current usage. Cuckolding absolutely means that the person being left out is in a relationship with one of the people having sex. What you are describing is voyeurism and/or exhibitionism depending on who is enjoying it. Also cuckolding does not require the third person to be present in any way. Current definition of the word would require that the one being cuckolded know of their partner's actions. In addition there is an element of degradation to this, implying that the cuckold is less than or inadequate. This is why the "He's so mc-much bigger" taunt that notawerewolf mentioned is so common.

As for whether this is cheating or not, that is an ongoing debate in the non-monogomous community. Because the cuckolding arrangement is normally started with the consent of the one being cuckolded and the one being cuckolded derives pleasure from the situation, most cuckold couples would not consider it cheating.

NTR -> netorare

There's also netori which shifts the POV from what I understand.

And Netorase and several others that all have english equivalents(Hotwife, cheating, etc). I think it's all grouped together under Cuckold because 1) there is just not a huge amount of content and 2) most of it that exists is rather ambiguous as to which it would technically be considered.

Or group them all under adultery because you can't cuck someone you're not married to, or infidelity if you want to ignore the married part.

I would say adultery/cheating should be separate from cuckold because cuckold etc is done at least partially for the enjoyment of the one being left out. It is an expression of the relationship, adultery is a breaking of the relationship. There is enough content that is explicitly one or the other to warrant separation of that much at least. Posts that are ambiguous should be tagged as both and maybe also as voyeurism or threesome depending on the post.

Sorry, my last post was not clear. I was not grouping cheating under cuckold, I was only stating that those japanese terms have english equivalents that would be better to use.
