(and where ist it incorrectly or unfairly used?)

Answer 1

A cuckold is a man whose wife has cheated on him.  It's a very common term in the United Kingdom but rarely heard in the USA.

Answer 2

A cuckold is when a man allows his spouse to perform sexual acts with other men either in his presence or at a minimum with his knowledge. He then enjoys having s*x with her afterward.

It is correct to utilize with a swinger type man, and incorrect to use with a man who has no knowledge of his wife's sexual adventures.

Answer 3

A cuckold is a man who allows his wife to sleep with other men. Sometimes he is present, but he always knows about it. Often the husband takes on a submissive role and either he or the wife gets pleasure from being humbled by the wifes lover.  

Answer 4

It's an old word for cuckoo.  When it's applied to a man, it means his wife is being unfaithful.

Answer 5

cuckolds are men whose wife cheat, and often with their knowledge.

Answer 6

A cuckold is a man whose wife is unfaithful - it's got nothing to do with whether he knows about it or not, and it certainly doesn't mean he knows about it - maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. blckmnn10 and others - you're wrong. old know all is right. a cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird's nest and the other bird brings up the young cuckoo without realising that it's a cuckoo.

Answer 7

A cuckold is a guy with the knowledge tht he has an adulterous wife .Its used unfairly many a number of times,an example being friends teasing a guy of being a cuckold,just bcoz his wife is quite friendly with other men.
