You may have just recently heard of the hotwife lifestyle or have known about it for some time but are not sure exactly what it is. We’ll be exploring what the hotwife lifestyle is all about.

Let’s start off our exploration of the hotwife lifestyle by answering the following question.

What is a hotwife?

What Is a Hotwife?

Let’s start off by defining what a hotwife is in the traditional sense. Of course, the definition has changed drastically over the years. We’ll look at that aspect of what a hotwife is a little later.

Here is the basic original and traditional definition of the term hotwife.

A hotwife is a married woman that has sexual relations outside her marriage with the full approval, support and encouragement of her husband.

For many couples in the hotwife lifestyle, this is the only definition of a hotwife. They also tend to ignore or not accept the more modern day hotwife definitions.

Some sources add to the above definition of a hotwife to include a marriage with a one-sided open relationship where the wife has the freedom to have sex with other men besides her husband, but the man is not allowed or chooses not to have sex with other women besides his wife.

Now that you know the original definition of the term hotwife, let’s move on and explore a brief history of the hotwife lifestyle.

A Quick History of the Hotwife Lifestyle

Going to keep this history lesson very brief to not bore you. Also, the actual history of the hotwife lifestyle is confusing and is up for some major debate. The only thing that pretty much everyone agrees on is that the actual hotwife lifestyle has been around long before the actual term hotwife was coined and first used.

The term hotwife was most likely used before it first started being used online. As best that can be determined the hotwife term started to appear online being used by swingers and non-monogamous couples sometime in the mid-1990s. It started appearing on swinger and exhibitionist message boards. Later in the 1990s it started appearing in personal sex and swinger ads and involved men sharing their wives.

You can read through history and see mentions of men sharing their wives with other men a long way back. Were these couples practicing the hotwife lifestyle?

We may really never know exactly when the hotwife lifestyle started. What we do know is that it’s been around for a very long time.

What Is the Definition of a Hotwife Today?

The question about what is considered a hotwife today, is actually a loaded question. You could ask a lot of people and get a lot of different answers. The label or term hotwife has morphed and expanded greatly over the years to include many definitions and nuances. I’ll just cover the most popular definitions of a hotwife. That way this introduction to the hotwife lifestyle does not turn into a book.

Here are the most popular definitions and nuances of a what a hotwife is considered today. Of course, depending on who you ask.

Some feel a hotwife can only be a married woman. Because a married woman having sex outside her marriage can bring on a taboo feeling, while a girlfriend having sex with other guys besides her boyfriend is just dating or playing the field. Others feel that a girlfriend that is in a serious relationship with one man can be considered a hotwife if she has sex with other men.

A single unmarried woman that does not have a steady boyfriend can also be considered a hotwife by some. That is, if she has sex with multiple men. Of course, most will just consider her as playing the field. In a case like this, the hotwife term is more of a badge, than a lifestyle.

In the swinger community, a partnered woman that enjoys MFM threesomes or having sex with other men besides her partner is considered by many swingers to be a hotwife.

Many believe a woman that is in a serious relationship and has sex with other men with the approval and encouragement of her partner is a hotwife. This is regardless of her being married or not.

Some people may consider the woman of an open relationship to be a hotwife. But many do not, unless it is a full disclosure open relationship.

Many traditionalists will only consider a woman a hotwife is if she has sex with other men besides her partner, while he does not. Basically, a one-sided open relationship.

The bottom line is, when you hear someone being labeled a hotwife, don’t jump to conclusions as to the exact meaning of the term. As you can see now, it can have many different meanings and nuances.

Misconceptions About the Hotwife Lifestyle

Due to the porn industry and certain groups the hotwife lifestyle has been portrayed in bad light and has risen to many misconceptions about the hotwife lifestyle. Some by just not really knowing what the lifestyle is about and others deliberately.

If you have watched any hotwife porn, you will see that many so called hotwife porn videos portray the wife as cheating on her husband. Cheating and hotwifing are not the same. Hotwifing is not cheating, no matter how much they portray it that way.

The porn industry also portrays hotwifing as cuckolding. These are two very distinct lifestyles. Some hotwife relationships may enjoy a little cuckolding from time to time. But, if a woman cuckolds her husband all the time, she is not a hotwife. She is living the cuckolding lifestyle. The hotwife lifestyle is not cuckolding.

Some people think a hotwife has sex with other men because her husband is not any good in bed and can’t please her sexually. This is very far from the truth. A couple enters the hotwife lifestyle to add to their sexual relationship. Not take from it. Just ask about any hotwife how the sex is when her husband reclaims her after she has been with another man. Many will say it’s some of the best sex she and her husband have.

You will also here that a hotwife never has sex with her husband. This is far from the truth unless the husband has some type of physical or mental handicap preventing him from having sex.

Why the Hotwife Lifestyle Is Growing Rapidly

The popularity of the hotwife lifestyle has been growing rapidly over the last several years. I do believe I should clarify one thing before we get into some of the more popular reasons for the lifestyle’s growth.

Much of the growth of the hotwife lifestyle is because of the term hotwife morphing and expanding to encompass more than its original meaning. A lot of this growth is due to swinger clubs jumping on the band wagon and holding hotwife style parties. You will even see swinger clubs having parties named something like the running of the bulls, or greedy girl parties. These are all aimed at couples that practice the hotwife lifestyle.

Now that I have that out of the way. Let’s look at some of the other reasons for the sudden growth and interest in the hotwife lifestyle.

One of the big reasons for the hotwife lifestyle growth is more and more women are discovering that they crave and enjoy sexual freedom, and that they enjoy exploring their sexuality.

Some women are discovering that they thrive on the thrill and excitement of seducing men. It’s a great ego booster to them.

Many women enter the hotwife lifestyle to get that feeling back they had on first dates, and when having sex with someone for the first time.

Many men are discovering the emotion of compersion. They discover that it makes them extremely happy when they see their wife being flirted with or enjoying sex with another man or men.

Many couples are starting to realize the difference between sex and love. This opens up the possibilities to have sex with many people but still maintain the love for just one.

Many women are taking charge of their sex lives. They are discovering that they actually have a huge sexual appetite that society had been suppressing.

Many men are finding that their love and passion grows when they reclaim their wife from a date with another man. They are finding that the sex between them and their wife is much more intense, and raw.
