It's perhaps most visible on Twitter, which has become an incubator for kink since Instagram and tumblr both clamped down on adult content, as well as being one of the main sites where OnlyFans performers build their audience. On hook-up apps like Grindr and Recon (a fetish-specific equivalent), it's not hugely common to see couples into cucking, but it's not unheard of either. The majority of gay cuck videos are amateur user uploads, which suggests this isn't merely a top-down fantasy dreamt up by porn directors. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Pornhub told me via email that 'gay searches for 'cuckold' average around 200,000 per month', making it 'more popular in 2020 than it was in early 2018'.

What began as a heterosexual fetish is now increasingly common among gay men, both in porn and in real life.Īccording to Google trends, searches for the phrase 'gay cuck Twitter' have increased by a staggering 400 percent percent over the last 12 months. However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that people really started wanking en-masse to the idea of women cheating on their hapless husbands (and it has, traditionally, been about women). Think of Chaucer and Shakespeare Tolstoy and Flaubert Les Dennis, Amanda Holden and Neil Morrissey. Stories of cuckolding have a long cultural history.
