The Cuckold Club – First Date by Larry Archer
Smashwords and Amazon KDP, 2020

If you’re reading my blog, I’m assuming you enjoy sexy fiction. So you’re probably aware that cuckold/Hotwife stories have become one of the most popular sub-genres in erotica. These days, it seems that every author and his sister is writing cuckold tales.

In case you’re not au courant with smut fads, a Hotwife is a married woman who has sex with other, usually well-endowed, men with the permission and often the complicity of her husband (the cuckold). The extra-marital partners who service the Hotwife are termed Bulls, for reasons that should be obvious.

The women in this sort of relationship get the benefit of lots of hot, no-strings sexual pleasure. The cuckold’s payoff is more subtle and more varied. Some cucks are voyeurs, getting off on the sight of their wives being taken by someone else. Some are masochists, seeking the thrill of being humiliated by their gorgeous and powerful wives. One common theme involves requiring the cuck to “clean up” his Hotwife after her tryst with a Bull, licking the other man’s cum out of her orifices. In some variants, the Hotwife denies the cuckold sexual satisfaction, locking his cock in a cage or enforcing other sorts of sexual deprivation. She may criticize and shame him, comparing him to her Bulls and complaining about the small size of his penis or his general lack of erotic prowess. Some Hotwife/cuckold relationships border on femdom.

In fact, there appear to be many couples who actually engage in this sort of activity, and millions more who enjoy reading about it. However, this kink is not one of my personal favorites. First of all, I find sex purely for the sake of physical pleasure to be a bit boring. Of course, the essence of a fetish is the fantasy, the anticipation, rather than the acts themselves, but many Hotwife authors miss this point, focusing mainly on the Hotwife’s pursuit of the next big cock to fill her up. Second, although I enjoy some femdom, I actively dislike scenarios that include serious humiliation. While I can understand, intellectually, that some men (and women) might find this sort of scene a tremendous turn on, for me it has the opposite effect.

In short, I’m not about to go out and buy the latest Hotwife/cuckold title – unless it happens to be written by Larry Archer!

Mr. Archer’s latest release, The Cuckold Club – First Date, puts a decidedly cheerful spin on the popular sub-genre, with beautiful women and big cocks galore. Everyone’s satisfied, nobody gets humiliated, and there’s more than enough cum for everyone to consume.

The initial scene of this novella is one of the best things I’ve read by this author. Ted, the nominal hero, is sitting in a bar, watching a thirty-something bombshell flirt and seduce a college guy. Only gradually do we learn that the stunning brunette in the barely fastened wrap-around dress is Ted’s wife, Serena, who is in the process of realizing their mutual fantasies.

As Ted, getting more excited by the minute, drinks in the sight of his gorgeous spouse acting like a slut, he is approached by Roger. The fellow cuckold who points out his own red-headed Hotwife Tina, engaged in similar carnal pursuits. Roger gives Ted the chance to watch Serena and her virile young Bull through a one way mirror. The experience is a turning point for the couple, who proceed to drop a fortune on a high end computer, video camera and video editing equipment, just so they create their own personal, custom porn movies of Serena’s adventures.

As it happens, the cute technician from the computer store turns out to be as horny as everybody seems too be in Larry Archer’s world. She joins Serena and Tina in a lesbian lick-fest. Then there’s Helen, one of Ted’s colleagues from work, a brash but sexy MILF who’s literally up for anything. Things go from hot to hotter as the women take on five young studs, with every juicy penetration and every sticky eruption caught on film.

Though Ted and Roger are technically cuckolds, they get plenty of action. Their Hotwives are loving and generous, grateful for the opportunity to enjoy their Bulls as well as each other. Larry Archer likes to brag that every character in his books gets a happy ending. That’s certainly true in this one.

The final few chapters of the novella are somewhat less coherent than the earlier part. The author seems a bit confused about who is doing what – or maybe it was just me. I have a sneaking suspicion he might have been so turned on by his own tale that he got distracted.

And I really, really wish he’d learn the rules for using question marks!

All in all, though, The Cuckold Club – First Date, is a delight: hot, funny and unrelentingly sexy.

Thanks Lisabet for the review and your take on the cuckold - Hotwife thing. While I know that the sex for sex sake is not your thing, you'd be surprised at how popular it is from my travels. I look at things from a swinger's point of view.

"First of all, I find sex purely for the sake of physical pleasure to be a bit boring. Of course, the essence of a fetish is the fantasy, the anticipation, rather than the acts themselves, but many Hotwife authors miss this point, focusing mainly on the Hotwife’s pursuit of the next big cock to fill her up."

One of the things, a lot of swingers, myself included, believe is that these other things can be dangerous, like we don't believe in big make-out sessions or any other thing that could turn the relationship from sex to love. By focusing on the sex itself, it tends to make it less likely that the two people become more involved.

I know your perspective is different... and I can live with that LOL.

See, I believe that polyamory is possible. Loving one person doesn't exclude the possibility of loving someone else.

I don't believe that being poly is possible for me and I take my hat off to people who can pull it off. While I've never tried it as my wife is too good of a shot.

You're such an old-fashioned guy... ;^)

Now for something completely different! This is to confirm that I can post on your Blogger blog. I've recently switched to "Cookie AutoDelete" by the CAD team. I like this one as it controls allowing or deleting cookies on my Chrome browser with both Mac OS and Windows. I like it as New York Times and Washington Post will only let you read a couple of stories before blocking you. The program deletes cookies every time you leave a site. You can't find the app with the Chrome extensions search but I have to do a google search for it with a search similar to "cookie autodelete CAD team." I'm trying this on my Windows 10 Pro Lenovo laptop and have white listed the sites that show up in Cookie AutoDelete with autodelete enabled.
