Cuckquean

A cuckquean is the gender-opposite of a cuckold.  The term is derived from Middle English dating back to 1562 AD. 

A cuckquean is a wife with an adulterous husband.  Generally a cuckquean is a woman who derives sexual pleasure from watching their male partner having sex with one or several women.  Similar prying within a family is called wittoldry. 

Cuckqueanry as a fetish
A cuckquean fetishist is aware of her spouse's activity, sometimes actively encouraging it, and derives sexual pleasure from it.   Among some fetishists, the cuckquean's humiliation or victimization is a major element of the paraphilia. 

In the fetish cuckqueaning subculture, the male takes on the role of being sexually dominant, while the female takes on a submissive role.  The wife usually only becomes involved with the man or his lover when he permits it—sometimes remaining altogether celibate. 

When the fetish is simply heterosexual, the wife has sex only with her husband; when it is bi-sexual, the wife has sex with both her husband and the other woman, or only with the other woman. 

The fetish specifics can range wildly.  Sometimes the husband and his lovers can treat the cuckquean lovingly; sometimes it involves nothing but swinging, swapping husbands or sharing a lover.   But when it goes beyond this, the fetish can require that the cuckquean be humiliated or debased.   Sometimes this may be accidental or incidental (e.g., the parties involved are too aroused to stop); but at other times the humiliation may be intentional, and the husband and his lovers act out a story or perform a ritual in which they force the cuckquean to perform humiliating acts, or enter into circumstances that debase her.
