The hotwife lifestyle started off as a very specific type of partially open married relationship. Over the years it has expanded to encompass many varieties of sexual relationships and has morphed in many ways. The definition of what a hotwife is has changed over the years and will continue to change as interest in the lifestyle increases.

The hotwife lifestyle covers a lot of different types of hotwifing as well as an almost unlimited number of degrees within each hotwife type. Let’s dive in and explore the most common types and degrees of hotwifing you will most likely run into in the hotwife lifestyle.

The Traditional Hotwife

A traditional hotwife has sexual relations with other men outside of her marriage. The husband is fine with this arrangement and actually encourages her extra marital behavior. In a traditional hotwife relationship, the relationship is open but one sided. The wife is free to have sex with whoever she wants while the husband does not have sex with any women besides his wife.

A traditional hotwife may or may not tell her husband about what happened on any date she goes on. In some traditional hotwife relationships, the husband may not even be told when the hotwife has sex with other men.

A traditional hotwife relationship may or may not include the husband reclaiming her by having very passionate sex with her after she has returned home from having sex with another man.

In a traditional hotwife relationship, the husband does not accompany her on dates or participate in any sexual interactions she has with other men.

The Voyeur / Exhibitionist Hotwife

The voyeur / exhibitionist hotwife is close to being a traditional hotwife with the addition of the voyeur / exhibitionist aspect. She and usually her husband get off by the husband watching her having sex with other men.

The husband watches her having sex with other men but does not join in. He may masturbate while watching the hotwife having sex with one of her bulls.

A husband of a voyeur / exhibitionist hotwife may or may not reclaim her after she is finished having sex with another man. The reclaiming sex happens after the hotwife’s bull has left or is no longer present.

In a voyeur / exhibitionist hotwife relationship, the relationship is open but usually one sided but not always. The wife is free to have sex with whoever she wants while the husband may or may not have sex with other women besides his wife.

The Threesome Hotwife Couple

The threesome hotwife couple is the more modern-day version of the hotwife lifestyle. It also seems to be growing a lot more lately. I have no numbers to prove it, but in my opinion, this style of hotwifing is the most popular currently.

In the threesome hotwife couple type of hotwifing, the husband participates in the sex in some form. He may watch her having sex with a bull and then join in. Or he may join in the sex at the start.

This type of hotwife lifestyle could be called: swingers who only like adding another male to their bedroom sex adventures. Many couples that have this type of relationship do not even label themselves as being in the hotwife lifestyle. Many don’t even know what a hotwife is.

You could say that the threesome hotwife couple is really more of a sexual preference than a true lifestyle.

The Vixen Hotwife

A vixen hotwife includes her husband in her hotwife adventures. He either watches her having sex with another man or joins in creating a threesome. Threesomes that include the husband are very popular in the vixen hotwife lifestyle.

The husband of a vixen hotwife is called a stag. Stags usually get sexual enjoyment from sharing their wife with other men. In a vixen hotwife couple, the husband is always the central focus of the hotwife.

The vixen hotwife may play alone at times, but always includes the husband in some form or way.

The husband of a vixen hotwife may also assist her with finding other men to play with.

All men that play with a vixen hotwife, must respect her husband. He normally has veto rights over who she plays with. Mutual respect between the bull and stag is of the utmost importance.

Most vixen hotwifes play with what are known as bucks most of the time. The big difference between a bull and a buck is the friendship and respect built between them, her, and her husband.

If a vixen hotwife feels that the bull or buck is not respecting her husband or is trying to oust him from a threesome, the vixen will send them packing.

The Cuckold Hotwife

Let me start off by saying that many hotwife couples will argue that cuckolding is not the same or even a part of the hotwife lifestyle. They will say that it’s a lifestyle of its own. Depending on who you ask, they would be right, or they would be wrong. Cuckolding and hotwifing can be considered two different lifestyles. I included it as a type of hotwifing for the couples that do feel it is part of the hotwife lifestyle.

The cuckolding lifestyle does resemble the hotwife lifestyle in many ways. But it also includes some relationship dynamics that many would consider as not part of a hotwife lifestyle. So, let’s all agree that there is some crossover between the two lifestyles.

Let’s now try to define what a cuckold hotwife would be.

A cuckold hotwife has all the different types and degrees of hotwifing like any hotwife relationship. But it adds demeaning and humiliating aspects of the husband.

A cuckold is a husband that is married to a cuckolding hotwife that is into humiliating him by having sex with other men without him being allowed to join in. He may be forced to watch her having sex with another man while being insulted and told that he is far inferior to the man she is having sex with. She may also have sex with other men without him knowing until later and having it flaunted in front of him. Some men like this arrangement because it gives them the freedom to not have any control or having to take care of anything. The cuckold hotwife takes total control.

Most hotwife porn you see, is actually cuckold porn.

Now to add in some more confusion, a cuck originally referenced a kink where the man enjoyed watching his wife having sexual experience with other men or hearing about the sexual exploits of the wife. Then, the alt-right started using it as something negative.

Bottom line is, if you feel cuckolding is part of the hotwife lifestyle, then it is. If you feel it is not part of the hotwife lifestyle, then it’s not. Both sides will just have to agree to disagree on the subject.

The Swinger Hotwife

The swinger hotwife is mainly a couple that are swingers that also enjoy playing a bit in the hotwife lifestyle. You will find this type of hotwife couple attending swinger clubs and swinger meet & greets.

The couple mainly swings but are open to the occasional single male joining them for a threesome. In some cases, you may find a swinger hotwife that plays alone with a single male, while her husband is playing or socializing with other swingers.

The Occasional Hotwife

The occasional hotwife is someone that enjoys some form of hotwife experience occasionally. They don’t actually live the hotwife lifestyle. They just have sex with another man besides their husband when the mood strikes, or on special occasions. Of course, with the husband’s blessing.

Some occasional hotwife couples have either the woman or the man that has to travel for work for long periods of time without them. Either one or both partners are basically granted a hall pass while the two of them are apart.

The Situational Hotwife

The situational hotwife is a woman that has hotwife experiences when a situation or encounter happens, and everyone just goes with the flow. Typical situations that can spark a hotwife encounter could include, a few drinks, a dare or challenge from her husband, attending a wild party, getting a wild hair up her ass, etc. Think college days experimentation but married.

This type of hotwife may go years between sexual encounters with other men besides her husband.

The Role Playing Hotwife

The role playing hotwife and her husband pretend that she is a hotwife. The role playing can be just between the two of them or take place in a swinger environment where they are acting out a fantasy with the help of one or more swinger friends.

This type of hotwife can be the first experimentation with the hotwife lifestyle for many couples.

The role playing hotwife couple could also role play her being a hotwife in private, while using sex toys to simulate the hotwife’s bull.

The Fantasizing Hotwife

The fantasizing hotwife could be called the birth of a future hotwife. She fantasizes about being a hotwife when reading, masturbating, having sex with her husband, while playing with sex toys, etc. She just may be at the stage that she is not comfortable bringing up the idea of being a real hotwife with her husband.

A woman in this situation may keep the idea of hotwifing in just her fantasies. Or she may one day start hinting at the idea with her husband. Hopefully he will be open-minded and willing to listen to her desires.

The Combination Hotwife

A combination hotwife is a mix of different hotwife types. She may move from one type to the next type and then combine several hotwife types depending on her mood, situation, or desires.

She has the freedom to live the hotwife lifestyle the way she wants to live it.
