Quotes:

“[Cuckolding] is not so much about just your partner watching you or listening [to] you sleeping with somebody else because that's what everybody thinks it is. It's actually really a kind of special loving relationship.”[0:05:20]

“[Cuckolding] is like art, you can sculpt it exactly the way that you want, and it does not need to look like somebody else's piece of art.” [0:11:54]

“The fun part about being the woman in a cuckolding situation is that you really do feel like you have the power and the ability to have this effect on someone that is profound.”[0:20:25]

Longer Quotes:

“If there are any new couples listening out there thinking of making this list of rules, it's okay to have them. But just keep in mind that it may not be realistic to have all of those rules. I think what's most important is that she's safe, and she's comfortable, and that she's enjoying herself. What that looks like should really be up to her.” [0:20:04]
