Okay... I've played this up to the scene with the MC being forced to go down on the blonde right outside El Presidente's office and then
I thought this before, but the only way the story is even remotely believable is if the wife has been in on it from the beginning. He *did* cheat on her, after all. Perhaps she planned all of this out as revenge and has been playing dumb with him the whole time. Otherwise, there's no way I can believe that things would've developed between them the way it has. No one is *that* much of an idiot to ignore that her husband had had his DICK PUT IN A BOX against his will would also be forced to do *other* things against his will.
Some have brought up the poor communication between spouses, but from what I've seen, it's almost entirely *her* refusal to listen to *him*. Either she avoids him entirely, makes excuses for his points, or cuts him off right before he reaches the conclusion of the argument he'd been making. She also ignores the reality of the other males on the island and has very quickly taken the same sort of attitude as the other women, only without the obvious and heavy malice they display.
Early on, I sort of hoped this would turn into the couple working together to get out of their sticky situation, growing closer through adversity and such. He would be given opportunities to show that he *did* regret what he did before and accepts various punishments (both explicit and implicit) to demonstrate it to the woman he loves. But this doesn't appear to be how the plot is going to play out, and I think that's a shame -- a real missed opportunity.
Instead, it appears this is going to be a lot of women punishing, abusing, mistreating, and generally acting malicious towards men. I know that there are guys who like to see that sort of thing, and I don't mind seeing guys being punished for legit wrongdoing, but only to the degree they deserve for what they did. And if a guy *likes* being abused, then that's fine, too. But the MC clearly wants to do right by his wife and to fix his marriage. He doesn't want to repeat his past mistakes, but to show her he has learned and cares about her. Also, he obviously isn't into what they are doing to him, nor has he accepted any of the ladies advances on him, but only done what he had to do to avoid having his mind fried. What we're shown instead just seems to be women wallowing in cruelty and malice (similar to their complaints against men back when men were in control), and while *they* may be hot and sexy, their behavior is not.
So, overall, I have to say that while the ladies are very fine and some of the scenes are pretty hot, the larger dynamics of the MC's situation is not.
