The one fetish they didn't have way back when...

Any time a particularly spicy vintage cover gets posted here, there is usually at least one comment like, "Wow! I didn't know that fetish x was so old!"

Yes children, people were kinky before the internet! lol

I'm not trying to call out anyone in particular. This sub is a place of learning! Among other things. I personally have received quite an education in my time as mod of this sub (which in turn has caused me to spend a lot of time on purveyor of vintage smutty paperbacks, triplexbooks dot com). And I have learned that almost every pervy fetish you can think of had multiple sleazy paperbacks dedicated to it going back to the 60's and 70's.

(The comments recently had an interesting discussion on how far back bestiality goes. As was pointed out, a Japanese artist published "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" all the way back in 1814. But bestiality is also common in Greek myths, where that ol' horndog Zeus is constantly turning into some sort of animal to nail somebody's wife. And I would also point out that the oldest parts of the Bible specifically forbid "lying with a beast," and they wouldn't have had rules about it if people weren't doin' it.)

This is a (incomplete) list of the fetishes you can definitely buy vintage smut for on triplexbooks:

• anal sex
• bestiality (mostly with dogs, but also horses, sheep, goats, donkeys, & monkeys)
• incest (for any & all relations)
• whips/restraints/BDSM
• spanking
• forced/non-consent
• scat
• swapping/swinging/orgies
• interracial
• gay & lesbian variations for all of the above
• voyeurism
• cross-dressing/trans/forced feminization

You can find examples of any and all of these in vintage paperback smut. It seems that even the most perverted sexual fantasies have been around for well over fifty years.

But I have noticed one exception. There is one kink that is very popular today but is nowhere to be found on TripleXBooks. At least as far as I can tell.

So here's a fun game. Try and guess what fetish is missing from the above list. It's apparently a modern invention, at least as far as I can tell. Your hints are that while it is pretty popular, it is definitely not universal; people seem to love it or hate it. And it's not that shocking. This definitely isn't something so deeply depraved that only 4chan could have come up with it.

Make your best guess and then click the spoiler block to see my answer.

!Cuckolding!

Yes, it's good old cuck porn. Or not so old I guess. I could not find any examples of books with the words 'cuckold', 'cuck', 'hotwife', or 'cuckquean' on triplexbooks. When I searched for 'sharing' I found a handful of titles, but they were either typical swapper books or referring to something else. There don't seem to be any books where the focus is on someone watching someone else have sex with their spouse or significant other.

Meanwhile if you search for these terms on Amazon, you'll get 1000s of results. So apparently people weren't writing books about this fetish in 1969, but they sure as hell are now.<!

Why? I have no idea. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
