In this installment of the Keys and Anklets fireside chats, Michael C. explores the role of compartmentalization in engaging in the cuckolding or hotting lifestyle. Michael explains how husbands and wives experience the lifestyle differently and how the eagerness of husbands can, in some cases, work against them. He provides insight into the importance of patience and reassurance as the flame of a wifesharing dynamic grows from a spark to a roaring flame.
