As covered yesterday by Fleshbot, cuckolding was introduced to the Howard Stern on his radio show by a porn starlet this week–and not necessarily in the best way, in my opinion. I mean even bad P.R. is good P. R., but the fact that it was explained by someone with obviously an unclear grasp of what it really means, and that definition of cuckolding was heard by a vast, mainstream radio audience. Plus after folks heard that the explanation grossed out Howard and the gang, this certainly won’t help it’s perception at all.
“Cuckold? What’s that?” asked Stern. He said he had heard of the term bukkake before, but had never heard of cuckold.
Lie Lani explained that – at least in the Kick Ass version – a cuckold is a humiliated husband who watches his wife have sex with a black man. “He cums in me,” she explained, “and then my husband has to eat the black man’s cum.”
Loud groans from Stern and everyone in the studio followed the explanation.
“I can’t believe there’s a term for that!” commented Stern show producer Gary Dell’Abate.
“So that’s what cuckold means!” said Robin Quivers.
“And this actor you worked with, he ate the black man’s cum?” Stern asked dubiously.
Lie Lani affirmed that he was very into it, prompting incredulous “Wows” from both Stern and Quivers.
So…now Howard and his listeners think that cuckolding is all about interracial cum eating. Great.
Look. I’ve got nothing at all against interracial cuckold encounters or cum eating, but I think it’s just too bad that this is how it was introduced in that venue. Cuckolding isn’t about those things at all. They are certainly powerful fantasies of a number of people that enjoy this fetish–but it’s certainly not the definition.
Thanks to Fleshbot for reminding folks how ridiculous it sounded.
Explanations abound online for what it means, but maybe we should begin formulating our own definitions of what a cuckold and the act of cuckolding are–and what they mean to us. Anyone care to begin the conversation in the comments?
