Meanwhile, in a study of gay men into cuckolding that Ley undertook with Dan Savage and Justin Lehmiller, the researchers discovered that the lifestyle is also popular with gay men in the age of marriage equality. It may be that, once gay men can get married, they are increasingly interested in being cucks and hot husbands. “It seems that when your relationship is codified and legalized, it is more erotic to cuckold within it, because it becomes more taboo,” Ley explained.
