I find it kinda disturbing, but at the end of the day I honestly don't care what people do in their own lives. Foot fetish? Go for it. Rape fetish? Go for it as long as it's consensual...

I'm pretty sure most people on this forum have a fetish outside of sex in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation, so no need to give the 'holier than thou' bullshit message.

I agree and think most people here find it disturbing but are too scared to say it or be criticized by their liberal buddies. Especially that cnn would generalize a study only about gay men's cuckolding and purposefully using such a "study" to claim it applied to "all couples" and could be "healthy" or "positive" for "all couples". There is nothing positive about another person fucking your spouse, period. If you think otherwise, you're seriously deluded or in the 1% that have a fetish about this garbage. Social cohesion and pair bonding studies have proven that a 3rd party will erode an intimate relationship in normal, committed couples gay or straight. The freakshow "anything goes" party has taken over cnn once again and completely ignored real science backed by decades of real data.

If you read the study linked you'll find that it was a study on gay men because they had already done a similar study on heterosexual couples and found similar results. It's not clear that CNN was trying to report on just the more recent study.

A gay man is technically just a man who is gay. And a gay couple works on a similar principle. They're still people. That's why they can generalize. People -> people. And it's $$ and advertising, not cuckholding fetishes that you care about here. Don't get confused.

I just don't get why this bothers you so much. It seems like your upset is more revealing that you realise.

I regret that using the term 'mainstream media' now seems to be a marker of being a Trump supporter, becuase it's not without validity. The mass, corporate, media has always tended to include a lot of sloppily-reported fluff stories. And they are generally very bad at reporting anything involving science or statistics.

This is just some story they like because it involves sex. It might be a valid study, it might be a bit of dodgy bad science (of which there is plenty about, especially the 'human sciences'), I'm not interested enough to care.

Who gives a ****? People have always lived in 'unconventional' relationships, and people have always cheated on their partners.

Why do you care if he cares? Why do you care that he cares that he cares? And on and on and on.

Why does it bother me?
1) The authors are flat out lying (e.g. decades of data show that a 3rd party will hurt not enhance couples' intimacy in general).
2) One of the authors has a clear anti-conservative agenda ("I want all Republicans to die")
3) CNN is perpetuating this lie with the excuse it's based on a (junk science) study and giving these losers a megaphone
4) CNN further extrapolated the study to all couples, not just gay men from the study

I care because he's posting on this forum, which I am browsing looking for things to argue about to pass the time!

And because he uses words like 'disturbed' to describe his reaction. In turn I'm curious why he is 'disturbed' by some nonsense fluff story that is unlikely to lead to anything. I think if I'd read that CNN peice I'd have just rolled my eyes at how uncritical the media can be about anything claiming to be 'scientific' in some way, noted the involvement of Dan Savage (whose advice column was entertaining in it's way when I used to read it, but didn't really seem to have much to do with my rather tame world) and moved on.

While this might have some truth, I just don't see why any of it matters that much.

Though I am not convinced by your first point, in that couples have been cheating on each other or having unorthodox arrangements since the year dot, and I am not convinced you can make simple causative conclusions about how relationships turn out, especially given the constantly-changing social context (people in the past would stay together, even if they were miserable, just because they had no choice, who is to say if that is a success story or not?).

Generally I'm not convinced there is such a thing as a succesful relationship, just failure deferred, and we are now all living much longer so it has to be deferred even longer.

Now now. There’s nothing wrong with someone who wants to hide in a closet dressed as Superman watching their significant other with an Obama look alike as long as its consensual.

Yes, you read correctly, CNN are now reporting that cuckholding can be "positive" according to their "study" (done by far left radicals). Only the party of freakshows (far left Dems) would assert that this is healthy and only CNN would run a piece like this. Then you read who worked on this "study" and it's Dan Savage. Go look him up if you are unfamiliar - not a surprise he is trying to normalize this crap. CNN is living up to the "C" in its name again (maybe you can guess what the C stands for) and would probably be teaching this garbage to your kids if they had the chance.

The "cuckolding" referred to in that article is the consensual kind, not the cheating kind. And the researchers concluded it can be positive for some couples but negative for others. You have provided no basis upon which to disagree with these findings.

And it all has nothing to do with politics either way.
