Why do we tend to destroy things we can’t comprehend? Is it fear? Ignorance? Because we don’t understand something, it’s perfectly acceptable to some folks to condemn and hate what’s different, or what doesn’t necessarily live up to their standards. A lot of time people do it without even thinking – its an automatic responce. Even those who are open minded can react, then look back and see their mistakes in judgment. I do this and so does most everyone else at some point or another.
We have the ‘fight or flight’ instinct. When you hear that term, you generally think about scary or life-threatening situations, you don’t think about it in simple everyday life. You come across a video of a cute girl, talking about something you have never heard of but you are curious to learn the meaning of. You hit “Play” and – what IS this stuff?? Has she LOST her MIND?!? What about her husband?? You mean he’s compliant with this debauchery!?? No, no, no, NO! This is WRONG! It goes against everything I’ve been taught about how life is supposed to work! Now the key moment… do you navigate away from the page? OR, do you decide to defend your stance on the subject (even though your opinion wasn’t necessary)? Because by saying nothing, you feel that you’re condoning these actions…?
Sure… that may be a bit extreme, but it happens almost every day. Not just in my life, either. I get “attacked” or berated all the time because people think what I do is wrong. Almost every word rolls off my back, I don’t buy in to their negativity. :) I do get lots of messages from people asking why I put up with this, and why is everyone coming after me. I don’t see it that way most of the time, unless it’s just blantant threats or attacks. Most of the time I am pretty easy going. I know that this is reality and in it some people just have problems with others. It can be something they were taught or just came into but I try not to judge them back as they most likely have a reason for being this way.
My point is, people are really quick to get offended or upset at ideas or situations they don’t understand. Things they have no control over, something that doesn’t involve them a bit – yet they feel the need to speak up on the situation. If it’s something they don’t agree with they feel the need to lash out. For some it is hard to accept the fact that not everyone lives the same lifestyle or has the same likes and dislikes. Would you shun someone for preferring dogs as pets over cats? What if they chose to cut their hair really short or dye it a bright pink? Perhaps one would like to become a vegetarian! Would it matter to anyone? Of course not, those are personal choices. A persons choice to do something has no real effect on you… Right?
So in trying to better understand, I ask why do people get so upset by the fact that I am a Cuckoldress? It is because we’re talking about something sexual? Does the taboo nature of particluar fetishes cause people to want to speak out more? They feel this is more important than what type of hairstyle I prefer?
Sometimes I can see why the cuckolding community is so small, or comprised of many that are only living out fantasies. If you’re real about what you choose to do in your sexual life you risk ridicule. Resentment. Confusion. It’s easier to live in a fantasy world than to put yourself out there “in real life” and get hurt.
Why would would you put yourself or your spouse on the line? I know that when I started to learn about this lifestyle, I was concerned. It seems that out of everything I would read (Wiki articles, message boards, and one blog in particular), most of it was fantasy. Only ONE piece of REAL information, real life accounts of this lifestyle, came from the blog. After a lot of thought, and realizing that my cuckolding experiences wouldn’t be just like everyone else’s, I chose to start a blog of my own. Not telling people how to live their life, or how to live my lifestyle, but basically just telling our story. Where we come from, what we want to do… we’re just two people in this world, telling our tales. There is so very LITTLE helpful information out there on cuckolding, and if I could give some random person a little clarity, what’s the harm? Turns out, this blog is gaining popularity. People come here to get some real information on cuckolding, or other opinions on the lifestyle they’re interested in. Cuckolding itself is also gaining popularity, and having a few reliable resources out there to lean on is a much needed reality.
