Normal and abnormal are slippery concepts in sexual psychology, but let's give it a try:
zen_sun84:
in life I come of as very alpha male.
Typical of cuckolds specifically and males with submissive fantasies in general. (People whose actual daily life is filled with frustration, offense, betrayal, use and exploitation rarely get off sexually fantasizing about same.)
zen_sun84:
I've had cuckold fantasies since I was a very young boy, I seem to remember having them ever since I was interested in sex,
It is normal to for fetishes to develop early in life and the rule that they generally stick throughout life (that is part of what a fetish is.) Fetish is the eroticization of powerful fears and in the case of cuckolding the fears involved are of being rejected, betrayed, or deceived by partners/potential partners. It also is often bound-upo with a more general fear of "measuring up" as a man (socially as well as sexually.)
zen_sun84:
of course the internet helped to foster those feelings.
Very normal. The combination of anonymity and intimacy the internet allows has linked all kinds of people and material that used to be widely dispersed or obscure. It isn't the net
per se that fostered your feelings, it was you exploring this part of yourself with resources you might never have accessed without the net.
zen_sun84:
However, my wife is very conservative and would never go for the lifestyle or even exploring it.
Totally normal, despite what many on this board would like to believe. In general, those who don't share a fetish are not that keen to indulge in it as lifestyle, or even try it if it feels scary or risky. Cuckolding is a pretty dangerous and extreme fetish (emotionally, socially) that remains edgy in our culture, and it is terrifying on many levels for most people. (even you, actually, or it wouldn't turn you on.)
zen_sun84:
My fantasies are usually of a darker nature.
Normal to the n-th degree. It is the nature of sexual fantasy.
zen_sun84:
A very dominant man completely owning my wife and changing her into a completely different woman, making her relax with other men in a variety of situations, her doing whatever she was told by him.
One of the most common sexual fantasies that exist. Often women fantasize about this. Men fantasize about it too. Sometimes they are the man, sometimes the woman, sometimes the woman is someone they know and are close to. Not at all unusual.
zen_sun84:
I'd be the humiliated cuckold who would be verbally used by both him and her.
Very common among BDSM fetishists such as cuckolds.
zen_sun84:
Part of the turn on is sexual, but also the pain that I know would come along with the situation in real life, seeing those things actually happen, is also a turn on.
Normal. It is a measure of the charge and depth of the fetish for you. By imagining scenarios as realistically as possible, you are allowing yourself to feel the bright edge of the pain more keenly. It is the same way that a novel or a film that is more "true to life," or "raw" in its mood and details has a different emotional punch than the "wink and nod" of the popcorn action film.
zen_sun84:
I do, however, deal with a lot of guilt surrounding the fantasies.
The most normal thing of all. If you felt no guilt at all, the whole thing wouldn't turn you on. The lure of the forbidden, the naughty, the trangressive is part of what gives sexual fantasies their charge. And, as said, cuckolding is going right at some of the core taboos of our culture.
zen_sun84:
My wife and I are both religious and so I lot of moral issues surrounding having these fantasies.
Also totally normal. Most people are religious; even those who aren't have a lot of moral issues around this fetish.
So on the whole, I would say you are pretty normal. To convince yourself further, I recommend the book/blog "A Billion Wicked Thoughts," which analyzes the biggest data set on sexual desires ever complied (internet searches crossed by unique addresses) to get the best picture to-date about what is "normal" for humans and Western culture.
Good luck!
