My comment:
In Elizabeth Weil's cover article in today's NY Times Sunday Magazine she writes: "In psychoanalytic thought, the template for monogamy is forged in infancy, a baby with its mother. Marriage is considered to be a mainline back to this relationship, its direct heir. But there is a crucial problem: as infants we are monogamous with our mothers, but our mothers are not monogamous with us. That first monogamy — that template — is much less pure than we allow." Perhaps the origin of the cuckold's fantasy/fetish is a vestigial memory of a primal relationship in which his fidelity was not reciprocated.
Mostly a links blog with occasional commentary on the linked articles (since 2010 mostly my book reviews) and infrequent personal updates. I am a 64 year old married writer. See my website for my current writing projects and to download my ebooks; my about me page has links to my various web 2.0 venues.
