Psst, Braznor is gay... ;)

Doesn't matter, had sex.


As for the OP, if my S/O gives me permission to do something (if I even ask), she knows damn well I am going to be doing it. Which is why she isn't even going to joke about that kind of shit.

As someone who hasnt wet his dick in quite a while, I find this whole scenario a little infuriating.

I married my wife because I love her. When I did so I made a choice to remain faithful, and not doing so isn't chic, it isn't just something said to be dismissed. Despite temptation I made a promise and to do otherwise with or without permission is a betrayal. So it sounds strange to most ears, but cheating is wrong.

No, I won't do that no matter how the poll is worded.

If I hated her, maybe. If I loved her, I'd just be extra romantic towards her those 2 weeks. If she had ulterior motives, like having her own affair, I might just begin to hate her.

Safest just to think of it as a trap.

Wife comes home with her best friend (who is hot) and says she wants to have a 3-way. iow, you have explicit permission from the SO.

Do you do it?

I did.

And at one time I held the power posed by the OP...for far, far longer than 2 weeks. The only caveat was that the wife had to be informed in advance and approve of it. So she was informed, approved, and that power was exercised.

Here's what I learned from the process - Despite what the vast majority of women will tell you, it's never "just about sex." I also learned what I already knew, but it had to be reinforced through the experiment - many women are fucking crazy. If, like me, you are married to one that isn't a head case, stay faithful for your own mental health.

Edit: Guess I should mention that the wife and I are still married after 25 years and plan on staying that way for the rest of our lives.

Most married guys suffer from Dunlaps Disease and couldn't get some with hundred dollar bills sticking out of their anus.

So most would do nothing.

no: even if there were absolutely no other consequences other than my own memory of the behavior.
