Candaulism is a sexual practice or fantasy in which a man exposes his wife to other men for his voyeuristic pleasure. The term is also applied to the practice of undressing or otherwise exposing his wife to other men, and urging or forcing her to engage in sexual relations with another man or indeed with many other men as he watches.

The term derives its name from Candaules, king of the ancient kingdom of Lydia from 735 to 718 BC, who was so proud of the beauty of his wife, and so much did he want to impress others, that he made a plot to show his unaware naked wife to his bodyguard, Gyges of Lydia. 

Dr. Anil Aggrawal’s Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices described candaulism as a "…variation of exhibitionism [where] persons do not exhibit themselves but their spouses – usually a male exhibiting his wife". Such a practice is widely regarded as a breach of implicitly placed trust by the woman in her husband. The term includes the practice of simple anonymous exhibitionism (with and without the wife's knowledge that she is seen naked) and also more coercive and brash conduct.

Some who are so sexually addicted to this prurient pleasure that they do not fear the consequences will coerce his reluctant wife to undress herself in front of men, ashamed and abashed though she may be, and he may further urge her or coerce her to engage in sexual acts with the men to whom she has been presented naked, while he watches. Like Candaules, the husband may watch his pathetic naked wife hidden in the shadows, or he may stand present, sharing her ambiguous emotions, and cravenly witness her abject humiliation and lewd subjugation. That is why candaulism is also psychiatrically considered a sadistic sexual perversion.

This is a series of stories on that theme.  All of the stories are illustrated with pictures from the incidents.  While these stories are "fiction" the pictures and events are based in fact.

Explanation and Example:

I once invited some young fellas from the bar to come home with me and "see" the wife and drink some beers. When I introduced them to my wife, I explained to her what they wanted.

She was reluctant; she complained; but she'd sort of done it before--strippped naked in the car for me on the freeway at night a couple times, and once got of the car and stood on a street corner while cars went by, honking-- so she had been seen naked by other men a couple of times; but she had never done this, take off all her clothes in front of men,

So I insisted and in the end, after I got her started, taking off her blouse to show her in her bra, and then unzipped her jeans and tugged them down to her knees to show her in her underpants, she stopped arguing.

She asked me I was certain and I nodded, so then she finished undressing herself, stepping out of her jeans.

She looked at the boys anxiously, stainding there in her underpants and bra and socks, and then turned away from their gaze and took off all all rest of her clothes--unhooked and dropped her bra, slipped down her undepants and stepped out of them, then pulled off her socks too--she paused (her back to them) and then turned herself to face them--completely naked.

I told her to get up onto the coffee table in front of them and and so she did-- up close to them naked now---three feet away-- and displayed herself , naked to my "guests" while I reassured her.

I took a bunch of pictures, pointy tits thrust out, hands behind her back. Then took more from the front..

They all agreed with me that she's pretty and they liked her body. Then, each stood up and took their turns to feel her, toying with her nipples, and fingering her already slimy cunt. She looked at and reached out and felt their pricks when they took them out of their pants, and they coaxed her to squat on table and carressed her, guided her head, but she shook her head and did not want to suck cock, though she did willingly put her mouth on one of them after a lot of coaxing, sucked a little as they held her head, but then fought them and refused to continue when it became obvious she felt that he would soon cum her mouth. So they pulled her off the coffee table, and forcibly laid her out on the floor and while one held her shoulders and two held her legs spread, they spread her labia and probed her between her legs, many hands tried to work her up sexaully, but still she fought them and refused to let them lie down on her to fuck her.

Still, after a lot of pleading, she laid quiely, exhausted, and just let them tease her with a beer bottle, poking it in and out, and then fucked her vigorously with it, plunging it deeper than the neck of it, so she got soupy and moaned, but when she started crying and said she'd had enough and wanted them to stop, they let her go and she ran out of the room and locked herself in the bedroom.

Everybody got a picture of my naked wife as a souvenir. It's a good example of the most innocent kind of caundalism that I liked.

Story Series #1: "Group Home"

This is a story based on experience, and honestly told; some details and names are fictionalized to obscure identities of real persons and events. The ages of most of the persons told in the story were technically legal ages of consent in the state of Minnesota (for that matter in almost all states at the time). While the sexual activities described here involve "teenagers," these boys were not preyed upon by anyone, or coerced in anyway.  If anything, these " boys" were predators to my wife.

In 1972 I was 29 and my wife has just one month away from turning 21.  My wife, Karen, was having trouble finding work and was unhappy, actually pretty depressed, and she found it hard to go out looking for work.

Story Series # 3: "Candualism"

Based on incidents before we had children. I had tolerated my wife's unlikely affair with a young man who was a closet-gay and had trouble fulfilling her sexually and so found unusual ways to excite himself and giving her pleasure. What she told me and pictures he showed me triggered in fantasies of wanting to see her naked and humiliated in front of men. She gave in to my ideas. She was unhappy about it and reluctant but she wanted me to be happy.
