I don't see jealousy as a prerequisite for cuckoldry. That's a traditional (even Medieval) view. People might make up new words like
frubble or whatever, but often what happens is older words take on new and more encompassing meanings. I view cuckoldry, generally, as the situation of a man and his wife's extramarital sex. Period.
I can't see a simpler way of labelling the OP as anything but a cuckoldry fetish. He wants his wife to have sex with another man. Yes, he's involved, but what he's getting off on is the idea of his wife having sex with a man that isn't him, the husband: so, cuckoldry. Try not to view this word in the traditional, Biblical, or Medieval sense. I'm using it as it means today in its multifaceted, overarching, and rather generic meaning. Make up another word if you want, but it will mean essentially the same thing. You might want to call more specific activities by another name, but that's what words are for.
Fellatio, for example, isn't just
oral sex. It's a specific kind.
Maybe the whole problem here is that I'm more familiar with archaic words and shifts in meaning over time than the average person. Maybe
cuckoldry is too archaic for contemporary sensitivities. What other single word do we have for such a situation?
