Republican men like being cucks

This week we finally saw the fall of homophobic Jerry Falwell, Jr. We hope it's permanent.

Falwell was forced to resign as head of the Evangelical Christian college, Liberty University, after his wife's years-long affair was revealed. Not only was his wife screwing around with the former pool boy, Giancarlo Granda, but apparently Falwell was in on it all.

Falwell liked to watch his wife getting worked over by a younger, hotter man.

“Becki [Falwell] and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda claimed, explaining that the trysts occurred “multiple times per year."

Falwell is not alone in liking to watch other men with his wife; apparently a lot of Republicans are interested in the cuckold lifestyle.

Clinical psychologist David J. Ley pointed out that "as conservative Republicans have embraced the slur 'cuck' to attack weak-willed politicians, they've created complex dynamics as members of their own party share their wives with other men, commonly known these days as 'cuckolding' or 'hotwifing'."

Sexuality researcher Justin Lehmiller added: "I studied the sexual fantasies of 4,175 Americans from all 50 states. I asked my participants to report how often they fantasized about hundreds of different people, places and things -- including cuckolding. [...] Heterosexual men who identified as Republican were the most likely to report having had a cuckolding fantasy at some point -- and they fantasized about it more often than Democrats.

"Fewer than half of Democratic straight men (49 percent) reported having ever fantasized about cuckolding, and 19 percent said they fantasize about it often. By contrast, nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of heterosexual Republican men reported having had this fantasy, and 30 percent said it is a frequent fantasy."

Listen, we're not here to cuck-shame anyone, but maybe it's time for Republican men to embrace their sexual natures ... and finally let others do the same.
