Know the dynamics
Female-led relationships (FLR)
A relationship where she holds the final say, by agreement. Anything from a gentle shift in who decides to a fully structured power exchange.
Hotwifing
She has sex with other people, with her partner's enthusiastic blessing. The focus is her pleasure and freedom, and he often enjoys it too.
Cuckolding
He's aroused by his partner being with someone else, often with an element of humiliation or surrender that sets it apart from hotwifing.
Stag and vixen
A hotwife dynamic without the humiliation. She's the vixen, he's the proud stag who often reclaims her afterwards.
Cuckqueaning
The mirror of cuckolding. She's the one aroused by her partner being with someone else.
Chastity and keyholding
One partner controls when, or whether, the other gets release. Often paired with FLR and tease and denial.
