100% not that simple!
Let's dig this...
Cuckolding can take two forms, perceived as either negative or positive. The general view of cuckolding is often seen through the lens of submission/humiliation, which represents the negative side.
Note: The negative/positive appreciation is subjective and can be discussed, but that will not be the focus here.
To better understand the concept, we need to break down some of the psychological aspects that drive this kink:
The negative perspective generally relies on psychological dynamics linked to concepts of loss of control, comparison, and reversal of traditional roles. For example:
•
Deprivation and loss of status: The idea that one’s partner finds pleasure with someone else creates a situation where the submissive man feels “inferior” or “replaced,” which can be exciting for some.
•
Sexual comparison: Some cuckolding fantasies include the idea that the lover is “better” sexually, whether in terms of performance, size, or endurance. This feeling of inferiority can be a source of excitement.
•
Consensual humiliation: Being “dominated” psychologically by one’s partner and the lover can trigger pleasure for those who enjoy power games and controlled humiliation.
•
Voyeurism and controlled frustration: Seeing one’s partner with another without being able to participate actively engages frustration mechanisms, which can enhance desire and excitement.
•
Psychological masochism: Some find pleasure in experiencing negative emotions like jealousy or humiliation, in a controlled environment where they paradoxically derive pleasure from them.
The key point here lies in the dynamic of power and control, where submission and humiliation play a central role.
The positive perspective, on the other hand, is based on shared pleasure, driven by factors such as:
•
Compersion: The pleasure experienced by seeing one’s partner happy or satisfied, a concept often associated with open and polyamorous relationships.
•
Indirect pleasure: Some feel desire knowing their partner is having an intense experience, even without participating directly.
•
Amplification of desire: Seeing one’s partner desired by someone else can strengthen attraction and desire in the relationship.
The key point here is shared pleasure.
This second approach, while sometimes linked to a “lighter” form of cuckolding, is more aligned with the psychological dynamics of
swinging.
It should be noted that, in any case, all extended relationships (three or more people) inherently contain some component of cuckolding, whether negative or positive.
Once we understand these two analytical perspectives, at this stage of development, it cannot be said that Eric is 100% cuckold.
His relationship with Vi leans more towards the positive view than the negative one.
He doesn’t feel inferior, he doesn’t need to compare himself, he is not psychologically dominated (quite the opposite), he is a voyeur, he is not frustrated, he is neither jealous nor humiliated.
However, the idea that Vi might enjoy herself with someone else excites him (though we’re not quite there yet), he derives indirect pleasure, and his pleasure is amplified by the desire that Vi generates in others.
In short, we have a loving and close couple in a form of sexual perversion (from a normative point of view) that leans more towards swinging combined with voyeurism/exhibitionism.
My two cents...

nothing more wrong, you want to do psychological analysis of two basic sick elements, whether positive or negative, they are sick perversions, then they are young, and they don't care much about feelings, you said something true though, someone like Eric who has everything both physically and character-wise, fears nothing against other boys, indeed, he is aware of himself, perhaps too much, and here is where I say that everything is just fucking and that's it, all the girls protagonists are on the same level of beauty, and Eric has sexual attention from all of them, so, that VI, go and be a whore, in this context, in my opinion Eric is calm, he knows he can have a thousand other women like this, or perhaps better, if Eric had been instead, ugly, small dick etc, then the meaning of the story and of the chuck, was more interesting, an ugly one, would have become a piece humiliated and accept everything, Eric instead, does not need a VI, he as he is in the VN, can fuck with all, and if I read about 16 year old boys, love, relationships, I'm just bullshit, this is a typical American college movie, beautiful boys, beautiful girls, sex, drugs and fun, no feelings, nothing, so here Chuck does not exist, Eric as he was created, does not give a shit about Vi, he has all the others, he is not surprised, he is a simple teenager full of hormones, all the philosophy about Chuck, here does not exist. neither positive nor negative. he fucks, whoever it touches, touches.hahahahah
