News: ‘Cuckold’ ex-cop, wife settle with Pueblo for $20,000

Intrepid reader Ben wrote me yesterday with a link to this story in the Rocky Mountain News about a former cop and his wife that are suing the Pueblo, CO police department for discriminatory termination, because of his cuckold relationship with his wife. Here’s an excerpt:

Michael and Tammy Bethel filed a federal lawsuit last year. In it, they said that Tammy Bethel is free to have sex with other people, as long as they are not married or minors, and provided she tells her husband about it.

Michael Bethel is not allowed to have sex with others, though he sometimes joins his wife when she is with others, the lawsuit stated.

The Bethels claim Michael Bethel was fired from the Pueblo police department, where he was a sergeant, after department officials learned of the arrangement.

Here’s the take of Rocky Mountain News blogger Mark Wolf: Who knew they did this stuff in Pueblo?

Answer: This stuff happens everywhere.

News: Fertile wives find single men sexy

Okay, so there are about a hundred directions I could go with this one, but I’d rather read your comments. From Nature (via 3quarksdaily):

The reason, the researchers suggest, is that coupled women who are thinking of having an affair (even when asked to think about it by researchers) subconsciously select a man who is more likely to be a willing partner when they are fertile. Courting a coupled man may be both a waste of time — as he is less likely to participate in an affair — and hazardous, as there is a greater chance of getting caught.

News: Men who do housework may get more sex

I knew there was a reason I did all of those dishes last night! According to the Associated Press (via NYT):

American men still don’t pull their weight when it comes to housework and child care, but collectively they’re not the slackers they used to be. The average dad has gradually been getting better about picking himself up off the sofa and pitching in, according to a new report in which a psychologist suggests the payoff for doing more chores could be more sex.

What are your thoughts, cuckold hubbies? Are you doing more chores lately? Are you doing more chores while your wife is getting plowed in the bedroom by one of her dates? I seem to be.
