Back in 2011, fourteen years ago, I started writing a fake magazine called 'Strict Wife'. It started with the cover - suggestive article headlines - hinting at a magazine filled with content for Women in Female Led Relationships. You've probably seen similar kinds of things online. But I went ahead and actually wrote some articles for it and pasted in images I found.
I've been going back to it, on and off ever since. In 2019 I reformatted it and wrote a bunch of new stuff. In fact, one or two full stories began as articles in the spoof magazine and then I developed them into complete stories later.
Also, I sometimes write one-page questionnaires or short things that tongue-in-cheek might be the kind of thing you'd find in a magazine, but in a cuckold/femdom context. I did these for this blog. "So he called you Mommy during Sex." or "Is he the right boy for you?" or "How to introduce your boyfriend into your marriage." I added those to the magazine as I did them too.

Now, with all the accumulated content it's over 100 pages, with a lot of illustrations and images - all cribbed from the internet.
Over time, the form and tone solidified. The magazine is supposedly written by a group of contributing editors - all women. The audience is women in FLR marriages, or who are at least FLR-curious. They conduct surveys, interview leading psychologists, publish letters, and do special series on aspects of female-led-marriages.
There's an explicit tone and a meta-tone. On the surface, this is all serious, scholarly work for the FLR community. Their core philosophy is that men are to be loved and cherished, but many of them are weak-willed, submissive creatures who are much happier in loving, but submissive relationships with their wives. They are not to be casually abused, but physical correction can have it's place. Cuckolding is a natural, but not essential progression for a wife-led marriage.
The meta-tone is tongue-in-cheek, rather than ironic. The parallels between a typical womens' interest magazine article and those in Strict Wife is meant to be funny. The tone of condescending affection for husbands, while advising on how to break their spirit or control their lives is also humorously intended.
This tone hides the both subtle and explicit fact that the whole magazine is about love. Even in the most outre femdom articles about cuckolding or pegging or, God-help-us, castration, the voices of the authors or readers always come back to the love they have for their husbands and their husbands for them. This stuff only works in a loving context. If you don't love your wife, then you might get angry if she sleeps with someone else, but for gut-wrenching emotional and erotic reaction, you need to love her. Similarly, many of the articles are about the emotional effort required to properly train and condition a husband. All throughout these, there's the stated caveat, that if you don't love him, then what's the point?
Loving wives care about their husband's reputation. |
And the articles feed into other writing or are spin-offs from stories I'm working on. One example is the "Your Boys" article - still unfinished. In it, I wrote short excerpts from women in cuckolding FLR relationships where they discussed the confusing relationships between their husbands and their sexual partners. One of those is clearly the Ashley, Dave and Mike relationship from Dave McManus's The Reluctant Cuckold series.
So if you're interested in Reluctant Cuckold, and my attempts at a third part, here's that article (unfinished) as images - sharing the pdf is beyond blogger.
I may publish the whole thing one day but (a) many articles are unfinished (b) Some of the layout is awful, and needs a lot of work, and (c) tons of stolen images, so maybe not.
Gold. And of course I went back to the "submissive" t shirt party in the book and you could absolutely insert something like this into what happened in Reluctant Cuckold.
ReplyDeleteGreat work overall, per usual.
Thanks, and yeah, in what I'm writing, near the end, Ashley describes what happened at that party to Dave.
ReplyDeleteFinally took the time to read this. Great work. An anthology of stories and articles like is such a good idea. The visuals/magazine format really elevates it.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to see if your working on anything new. Love your stuff!!!!
