Historical
Candaulism is a sexual practice or fantasy in which a man exposes his wife to other men for his voyeuristic pleasure.The term also applies to the practice of undressing or exposing one’s wife to other men, and pressuring or forcing her to have sex with another man or even many other men while he watches.
The term takes its name from Candaules, king of the ancient kingdom of Lydia from 735 to 718 BC. He saw the unconscious naked wife of his bodyguard, Gyges of Lydia.
Forensic and Forensic Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices by Dr. Anil Aggrawal described cuckolding as “ ... a variant of exhibitionism [where] people do not expose themselves, but their spouses - usually a man exposing his wife.” Such a practice is widely seen as a violation of the trust implicitly placed by a wife in her husband.The term includes the practice of simple anonymous exhibitionism (with and without the woman knowing that she is being seen naked) and also more coercive and impetuous conduct.
Some who are so sexually addicted to this lustful pleasure that they do not fear the consequences will force his reluctant wife to undress in front of men, however ashamed she may be, and he may still pressure or coerce her into engaging in sexual acts with the men to whom she has been presented naked, while he watches. Like Candaules, the husband can watch his pathetic naked wife hidden in the shadows, where he can remain present, share her ambiguous emotions and cowardly witness her abject humiliation and obscene subjugation. This is why candaulism is also psychiatrically considered a sadistic sexual perversion.
I am going to write a series on this practice which is quite common among the world population. This will be a series of stories on this theme.All stories will be illustrated with action footage.Although these stories are fiction, the images and events may be based on real events.
