We Talked To A Couple Into 'Hot Husbanding,' A Kink Where Sharing Is Caring

"Glasser went on to liken her kink to "lending my friend a hairdresser." Glasser and Convy's arrangement isn't a two-way street; the comedian, who hosted the Golden Globes in January, has said in the past that she's not looking to have sex with other men, though it "might be [her] thing someday." If Glasser's boyfriend was into "sharing" her, they'd be hot wifing. (The kink is also sometimes called "stagging.")"

"But broadly speaking, "it's putting the focus on a partner's desire to show off their hot husband," said Heather McPherson, a marriage and family therapist and sex therapist in Austin, Texas. "A hot husband is someone that is so attractive and 'hot' they function almost like a status symbol for their partner," McPherson said. "The partner may also take pleasure in sharing him with others as part of the experience.""

Hot husbanding involves placing emphasis on a partner who is perceived as notably attractive and using that attractiveness as a focus or status symbol. Variations include fantasizing about sharing the partner, arranging encounters where the partner has sex with others, or simply deriving pleasure from discussing the idea. Arrangements can be non-reciprocal, with one partner engaging sexually with others while the other does not. The dynamic overlaps with cuckoldry and related kinks, and reactions differ by gender and relationship norms, with some people finding it difficult to propose such encounters due to fears of being seen as unfaithful.
