'That just has an erotic charge' for some people. 'In classic cuckold porn, it's about being humiliated and losing power,' Hammack explained. If you've ever daydreamed about what it's felt like to be dominated by your husband in bed and to let all of your power go, for example, who's to say your husband can't have a similar fantasy of being powerless, even if that manifests by watching two men?Īccording to Hammack, power play is a common turn-on and explains why the cuckold fantasy, or where a man watches his wife or partner have sex with another man, is a top porn category. 'A big part of what turns people on is playing with power,' and sex is inherently about power because it involves an exchange between two or more people. 'Just because there's a same-sex person on the screen doesn't mean that's the turn-on,' Phillip Hammack, a gender and sexual identity researcher at University of California, Santa Cruz, told me.
