How you experience your own sexuality and the terminology (if any) you use to describe it is no one’s business but your own. But, because I write about my sex life and post it here for all to see, I feel the need to share this…

I believe language is important. Crucial, in fact. However, we aren’t all linguistically gifted or inclined, nor have we all received the same level (or type) of education. Linguistic intelligence is a thing, but everyone has their limits (me included). Which brings me to this:

When I read the following article by Dan Savage, I felt both ridiculous and gleefully reflective, as it puts much of what I’ve written into question…

Am I a cuckquean?

Dan Savage writes:

“…a woman into hot husbanding enjoys “sharing” her husband with other women. (All this sharing, of course, is consensual.) …And cuckqueans aren’t sharing their husbands. They’re being “cheated on” by their husbands. Cuckolds and cuckqueans, by definition, don’t just wanna see their spouses fucking another person, they also want their partners to humiliate and degrade them. (I put “cheated on” in quotes because the “cheating” is consensual and symbolic; likewise, “sharing” is in quotes above because spouses aren’t property.)”
