For Season 1 of Showtime yellow jacket Shauna Sadecki (Melanie Lynskey) isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. She committed murder and survived the wilderness as a teenager by doing whatever it took to cover it up, Shauna goes after what she wants, even if it’s morally questionable.
For example, last season Shauna had an affair with Adam (Peter Gadiot) and claimed that he was blackmailing her when in reality it was her financially insecure husband Jeff (Warren Cole). I murdered him in my apartment because I believed him. In the Season 2 premiere, Shawna and Jeff visit Adam’s art her studio to destroy potential evidence.
Here, the couple discover that Adam has painted several intimate portraits of Shauna, upsetting Jeff. But then, in a rare and vulnerable moment, Shauna told him: She continued, “I used to think it made me some kind of pervert.
When Jeff asked what she thought now, Shauna said, “I like being my way,” getting hot and heavy in Murdered Man’s studio.

Shauna is fictional, of course, but her desires to cheat and be cuckolded/quinned are real. We asked experts where these desires originate and how to act ethically.
What is a cheating or cuckold fetish?
Some people refer to what Shauna describes as a version of “passionate husbands,” O’Reilly said. It is considered when you enjoy watching another person. In this case, the husband is called “Cuckold”

Escort, Sex Worker, Professional Girlfriend Mia Lee(opens in new tab) The taboo against societal norms is that heterosexual women in (previously) monogamous relationships find pleasure in sleeping with others and sharing their experiences with their partners. One of the most common reasons I feel is based on my experience with clients.
For Shauna, Eason says it’s clear that taboo thrills push her buttons. (Remember Shauna, before her plane crash, she secretly slept with a teenage Jeff, who was dating her best friend, Jackie.) It’s an adult who continues to seek a dopamine rush. “

How to Ethically Practice Cheating and Cuckold Fetishes
“As with any fetish, consent and communication are key,” Lee says.
If you’re interested in marrying a hot husband/wife (or exploring how jealousy can be triggered in the bedroom), have open, respectful conversations with your partner. Levels, and sexual safety, Lee advises. For example, will all sex be protected? Will everyone be pre-tested? Anyone know about boundaries and safe words?
O’Reilly says share your fantasies and how you feel in those fantasies, as well as your concerns, hesitations and anxieties. He should also talk more generally about monogamy and non-monogamy. How do you navigate your relationship arrangements as your desires evolve?
People stop being cuckolded/quenched for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s rooted in a desire for debauchery and humiliating play, explains Gehrlich. Different reasons have different headspaces, so communication with your partner is essential, and everyone is on the same page as to why you enjoy this fantasy.
“Shauna was able to voice her hidden desires and thereby gain the transcendent experience of being truly accepted by her romantic partner.”
If you play this fantasy IRL, remember that other people you sleep with are also human. Participate in these conversations early and often, and be transparent about what you want from the experience. Then report the encounter and make sure everyone feels cared for and safe.
It’s not easy to open up about your desires, but it’s worth it. “Being vulnerable is one of the hardest things we do in life, because the prospect of rejection looms large,” says Eason. But be honest with all of our desires It can also open up the possibility of truly transcendental experiences with those you love most.
“Shauna was able to voice her hidden desires and thereby gain the transcendent experience of being truly accepted by her romantic partner,” she continues. As a passionate person, this feels like a heartwarming storyline…despite the murder!”
