Hyapatia Lee and her husband Bud Lee were hotwifing before hotwifing was a thing.
If you’ve ever watched vintage porn from the 80s, you might have noticed one starlet who stood out from the crowd.
Thanks to her jet-black hair and caramel skin, Hyapatia Lee stood out on film at a time when the stereotypical porn-star was a buxom fair-skinned blonde.
Hyapatia’s got an interesting story for cucks and hotwives, too.
Hyapatia Lee got into porn because of her husband… sort of
After a troubled early life, Hyapatia found herself stripping to pay the bills while working to be an actress. It turned out that stripping was far more lucrative.
“I had totally given up on the idea of my ever becoming a successful actress… It was time I made some money off of the enjoyment men got from my body… Why not take off my clothes and get paid $400 a week for what men had been taking from me all my life? It was good money.”

After meeting future-husband Bud Lee, Hyapatia found herself a rising star in the adult industry.
In 1981 Hyapatia entered the Miss Nude Galaxy contest for a second time. “It was fabulous for my career when I won again! I made my first appearance in Playboy’s February 1982 issue in ‘The Year in Sex’ review and on the Playboy channel in America Uncovered. I even got offered a part in an adult film, but I did not take the offer seriously.”
The newlywed couple weren’t so hot on stripping, allegedly, but they did what they had to do. While on tour, and barely keeping the bills paid, they decided to go for a different approach…
[Bud] suggested that we might be in the wrong end of the business, that maybe we should consider making a few movies. Then we could demand the same kind of money these stars were making.”
Hypatia’s first time on camera happened while her husband watched
As she tells the story:
I was worried about the sex scene now only because of Bud. I was afraid he’d flip and get angry or jealous… It started with a slow, seductive strip while Randy lay eagerly in bed. Things were going very smoothly. I looked over at Bud who smiled approvingly. Then came time for the actual sex. I followed Ed’s directions as Randy spread my legs and began to go down on me. I looked for Bud, but he was nowhere to be seen… I was riding on top of Randy now, trying to hurry the scene along so I could find out why Bud wasn’t on the set like he was supposed to be… When the scene was over, I searched for Bud and found him looking for me. It seems he was forcefully taken aside by two apes that explained that it would be better if he stepped off set as a precaution. They said the director thought he would lose it and ruin the scene. We were livid!
That’s hardly any fair. The man didn’t even get to watch his wife get laid.
Not to worry. Bud Lee had ample opportunities in the years to come.
What did all this sex on film do for their relationship?
Did Hyapatia and Bud really have a ‘hotwife’ relationship?
It’s hard to say. Both of them claim in interviews that they weren’t swingers, or what we now call cuckold/hotwife situations.
Weird as it is, they’ve both said they were monogamous… except for all the sex with other guys on camera. That part was just work.
“I have been monogamous most of my life outside of my movie work. I never participated in the lifestyle. It was just a job.”
Hyapatia Lee
“After Hyapatia and I had been in the business three years, we became monogamous. Hyapatia had sex with other guys when we were married because it was her job. The roles required it.”
Bud Lee
Bud did seem to struggle with his cuckold urges.
According to Bud: “For a long time I struggled with whether I was a loser or not. Hyapatia told me, ‘Don’t get a job. I need you or I can’t do this job.’ It was excruciating to me to be what some producers call a ‘suitcase pimp’ – a guy who’s willing to accept that his wife or girlfriend fucks other men because it makes a lot of dough, but they don’t like it, so they put her down for it. But they won’t call her a slut unless they’re really mad at her.”
There are other reports of a secret swingers life off camera, and some real kinky vibes coming off of Bud. All hear-say, of course.
There are other tales of extreme domination, from Hyapatia, and even violence, from Bud. Their marriage broke up in the early 90s, around the time she left the porn industry.
All in all, they sound like a couple who knew how to have a good time… for awhile. The co-dependence, psychological problems, drug issues, and abuse both verbal and physical aren’t so great, we must admit.
Hey, we’re reading this stuff because it’s full of drama and sex, not because it’s an aspirational lifestyle, right?
You can read it as a cautionary tale, or you can take it as the arousing porn-filled soap opera that it is.
Yeah, what kind of cuck would want that?
Summing up
Hyapatia had a difficult life and by all reports it sounds like she didn’t have the greatest time in the porn industry. No surprises there.
Even so, her life as a married porn star back in the 80s is sexy as hell.
Hyapatia blazed the trail for today’s married porn stars like Jodi West, Maitland Ward, and Mia Khalifa. You know that Bud Lee enjoyed all that sex, even if he wouldn’t come right out and say it.
They may not have been swingers in the usual sense but the hotwifing and cuckold-husband theme can’t be denied.
For that reason alone Hyapatia Lee belongs on our A+ list of real-life cuckold/hotwife porn stars.
