In my humble opinion the cheating component is a requirement to become a true tradtional cuck husband. A hotwife is different and often discribed here as cuckoldry along with threesomes and the like. I appreciate though the meaning has changed over the last few years in this modern world.
In my experience going back over 30 years men are very naive, women are cunning creatures and find men easy to manipulate in all all directions.
I also suggest that having an affair or taking lovers isnt as common as suggested here.
However on the other side of the coin, i also believe that most females are seducable given the right person, opportunity and circumstances, drink, opportunity or familiarity being the main instigators and a mix of desire too.
I appreciate the comments of

That "she is too loyal to do that". That may very well be true or she simply doesnt want a lover, or is good at hiding her desires, you just never know.
My young wife was so boringly vanilla, with a circle of friends consisting of other young mums and that was her entire focus in life. She rarely wore anything other than jeans and a jumper, even on the rare occasions i gave her the opportunity to go out. If it was a skirt or dress, which was rare then it was a long one, she simply refused to wear what i called sexy stuff or show any cleavage.
So i was later shocked to see her with my best friend, drunk being "seduced" wearing such sexy items as jeans and a t shirt.
If that stunned and shocked me it was nothing to when she admitted he was actually her second lover and she had been his lover for a couple of years already. She arranged with him for me to watch sure i would accept her having a lover, by this time she was 23/24 with two children, He was married and we often went on holiday with his wife and kids. Obviously my view of her being sexually boring was rather wide of the mark.
Naive yes i was: occasional indicators were there but i missed them all, until he later told me: it came down to her desire: the right person, opportunity and circumstances.
She has never texted, or chatted with her subsequent lovers in between meets, showing absolutely no interest in doing so and most were married anyway so that wasnt safe to do.
Like most females they dont leave traces of stuff on accessable phones for us men to "find" i would say most are far too intelligent to do that.
