In this classic painting dated 1664 by Dutch master and contemporary of Rembrandt, Jan Steen, titled “Celebrating the Birth”, we see cuckolding en tableau. This scene is visually rich with cuckolding imagery. Note the grinning man miming the cuckold sign of the horns above the baby’s head. Interestingly, art historians determined the cuckold hand sign had been painted over during the 19th century. This defacement was likely ordered by a collector or curator who took offense to the cuckolding horns and viewed them as profanity. The painting was restored to its original status only thirty years ago.
The man illustrating the cuckold humiliation is believed to be the artist himself who inserted his likeness into the painting to add contrasting emphasis to the cuckold, an older man holding the newborn baby. Art scholars believe the baby to be a son. A celebration would traditionally be held to herald a male heir. However, this is obviously not the older man’s child, but the child of the man portrayed by the painter. Symbolic elements in the painting reveal more metaphor. The brass bed warmer conspicuous in the forefront of the painting, signified that coals in the bed warmer were keeping the bed warmed. It denotes a lack of marital sex. The older husband had lost his libido. The wife is not so much a powerful cuckoldress as a resourceful woman with no other options but to engage in sex with another man, driven to do so by her husband’s impotency in order to produce heirs or offspring.
The older man is holding quite a large purse which indicates some level of wealth. This wealth has enabled him to attract the younger bride and to provide for her. But the painter has added a few other elements which mock the supposed father. Namely that he is wearing an apron and holding a set of keys. Key holding in that time was the duty of the woman of the house, sometimes referred to as the chatelaine in larger households. Wearing an apron is a humiliating emasculation. Other symbolism includes the eggshells on the floor, eggs which had been cracked and used as ingredients to prepare a celebratory feast. The term cracking eggs was an expression for having sex in 17th century Europe. Obviously, the girl grabbing the phallic looking limp sausage hanging above the fireplace illustrates strong sexual innuendo. Note her gaze is deliberately directed outward to those viewing the painting instead of interacting with the family, midwife or other cooks. She wants us to be aware of the sexual farce unfolding before us.

There are many different types of cuckolds. Being a cuckold isn’t one-size-fits-all typecasting. Here are the most common types of cuckolds with brief descriptions:
1. Traditional Voyeur – a voyeur cuckold enjoys seeing his wife or girlfriend experiencing sex with another man in a cuckolding scenario
2. Audio Voyeur – an audio voyeur enjoys hearing his wife or girlfriend experiencing sex with another man -or- he wants to hear the stories recapping the sexual scenarios to excite him. He does not want to see the sex scene as it may be too intense and humiliating for him to experience
3. Humiliation – a humiliation cuckold wishes to experience deep humiliation and sexual rejection. The act of cuckolding may be strong humiliation unto itself -or- verbal humiliation may also be desirable. Humiliation elicits deep brain chemical responses that result in sexual arousal and orgasm enhancement
4. Bisexual / Gay – the bi/gay cuckold wishes to experience another man’s cock, typically submitting to orders from a Cuckoldress to fluff for her or to please the bull’s cock on an ongoing basis. This type of cuck may be in denial over his bisexuality or homosexuality, though sometimes will grow to embrace it
5. Small Penis – the small penis cuckold realizes he can’t please his partner with penetrative sex and moreover realizes the Cuckoldress needs a well hung stud to take care of the fucking. Small penis cuckies often enjoy humiliation
6. Performance – a performance cuckold has sexual performance issues, typically performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. This type of cucky does not necessarily sport a small penis. May enjoy humiliation re: their predicament
7. Sissy – the sissy cuckold enjoys, at the very least, wearing panties as a symbol of emasculation. A sissy cuckold may also be a full-fledged crossdresser or crossdressing sissy. This cuckolded type doesn’t feel like a real man and would rather acquiesce to a real man taking care of his partner’s sexual needs
8. BBC – a BBC cuckold derives excitement from knowing his partner seeks sex from black bulls
8. Polyamorous/Shared Wife – this type of cuckold encourages his wife or girlfriend to have sexual relationships or encounters where she doesn’t necessarily let him see or hear about the encounters. This cuckold is aroused by his partner’s sexual pursuits and typically does not feel humiliation re: her choosing other men for sexual liaisons
10. Fusion – fusion cuckolds have fused several of the cuckolding types, such as Traditional Voyeur with Small Penis with Humiliation as one example
11. Fantasy – fantasy cuckolds aren’t in a cuckold relationship. They fantasize about being a cucky and masturbate to their fantasies, masturbate to cuckold and interracial videos or engage in cuckold phone sex. They usually know what type of cuckold they are within their fantasies, e.g., BBC / Small Penis
12. Submissive / FLR – is submissive to a dominant Cuckoldress in a Female Led Relationship
13. Cuck – a cuck is a beta male, this term is trending as an internet pejorative.
The origination of the term cuckold comes from the cuckoo bird, the bird synonymous with the cuckoo clock. Cuckoos have an interesting mating phenomenon which orders the Alpha and beta of the species, both male and female. Alpha cuckoo birds mate with Alpha females. Alpha females reject beta male sexual advances. However, female cuckoo birds will allow beta males to help build nests, sit on eggs to keep them warm and feed hatchlings. This especially frees the Alpha female of such time-consuming responsibilities and allows her to resume her sexual availability for mating… furthering the perpetuation of the species. In addition, Alpha females will sometimes lay their eggs in a lesser female’s nest expecting that female and her beta male to raise her feathered flock.
As observers of cuckoo bird behavior, Germans, Swiss and Austrians began fashioning the signature clocks centuries ago. These Europeans also originated the bird’s name from the unique sound of their bird call. The term cuckold is thus derived from the cuckoo’s sexual and domestic behavior. Cuckoldry exists in many species as cuckolding is, at its very essence, crucial to the survival of a species. Cuckolding frees up genetically superior members of a species from familial duties, so they can focus on mate selection and mating.
It is important for human beta males and cuckolds to realize they are not viewed as mating material by females. Nevertheless, cuckolds do have a place in the world, to sustain higher status females who seek superior males for mating and to support these females once they do. Alpha males will literally swoop around spreading their genetic material. It is their purpose. Their purpose is not to be burdened with raising a family or a flock. That burden falls on the cuckoo cuckold.
Nota bene:
Orson Welles ad libbed these lines in the classic film, The Third Man (1949). Enjoy.
“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. They produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
