There is a stereotype for cucks. Cucks = humiliation is a myth. Sure some do but that takes the couple a long time to get to that place because the last thing wives want to do is humiliate their husbands.
What do you mean by being treated equal? Unless its agreed they are in to humiliation (even then there are rules) each person in the cuck couple should be treated equally. If they have agreed to a certain role, as in he or she just wants to watch, then they aren't unequal, they are equal, they are just playing a role. The same with humiliation, couples for years work through the relationship what they will/wont do. Its a process. Just because that is there kink doesn't make him or her unequal in the relationship.
Well according to the confessions/discussions I've read by
some wives/GFs online, that's not always the case, and they do get off on seeing their husband/BF humiliated and talking down to him as she gets pounded by her bull. Whether it's just RPing or something more.
The whole "cuck, swinging, etc. scene" as a realm is not really a big kink of mine. Neither in reality nor fantasy. So my knowledge, or rather my impressions of it, are certainly limited compared to people who are heavily into it. So my terminology is no doubt off in places. From my own outside perspective, as just one example, if there are two people who are in a committed relationship, a third party gets involves in a scenario, and one of the couple is on the floor, licking the feet of their SO and the third party, being spit on and being told they're scum, then in the moment at least they aren't being
treated as an "equal" (which seems to be the point in that scenario), and again, just from my perspective, even if they agreed to it and are enjoying it.
But in the interest of fairness: I'm 1) admittingly an "outsider" on this topic, and 2) perhaps oversimplifying as well.
My understanding of many aspects of the whole thing is vague and almost certainly "inaccurate" depending on who's asked, and I have no real desire or interest to understand any of it frankly, just because of both my lack of interest and the unlikelihood that it will ever come up or be relevant in my personal life.
Your own definitions are valid. But as I said before: "I've noticed that everyone seems to have their own personal definitions on that, and as people do, will act as if theirs is the
only "correct" interpretation of the terms". On this site alone one could find at least dozens of overall definitions, with conversations spiraling more and more into semantics based on personal tastes and sensibilities. There are people who consider another male NPC being present in the game at all to be "NTR" lol. So there is a very wide spectrum, along with countless different perspectives.
I really don't care to elaborate any more than that tbh. Because it's likely to just devolve into personal attacks, and I take no enjoyment in that. Quite the opposite. This will probably get deleted for being OT anyway. So I'll just leave off with "live and let live." I'm human and imperfect, but I do try to refrain from kink-shaming or personal attacks. Even if someone where to hypothetically enjoy something that in my eyes makes them pathetic, I'd likely just keep it to myself. No point in attacking someone who was just minding their own business and has shown me no ill will. I have plenty of kinks of my own that I know some people would judge me harshly for.
