Delight
The frisson of excitement when visiting a courtesan, the delight of an affair, the pleasure of an illicit liaison. I wonder if this is a feeling more particular to the male of the species? Sometimes any of the above can be sufficient without the final denouement for some men(if this is the case, are they transgressing?). I wonder how many "happily" partnered(PC comes to my blog) sit at night after their partner has gone to bed and surf they adult channels on cable/satellite, get the adult movie when in the hotel and not indulging in any of the first three activities. Are we more inclined to this now because it is more obtainable? No more do we have to fumble amongst the top shelf magazines and hope that Mrs Johnson the stalwart of the W.I comes in, then furl it up in a copy of Gardner's Monthly (that remains pristine for the rest of it's time on earth) and hand it to the newsagent. The male of the species has probably always been like this and just the way of satiating the urge have changed. It would be interesting to know whether the distaff side has the same views but have never allowed them full exposure. Surely we are all inherently sexual?

You know, I think it would be the same for both genders if it were not for the emotional and physical constraints that marriage provides for women.
Men are like little boys. They are still not in touch with reality.
I think that is why they do not see how wrong having an affair is. They just look upon it as something they can do and will continue to do until they 'get into trouble'.
When a woman has an affair it is looked upon as outrageous and how dare she!
Joanne,
Double standards have always applied and particularly in regards to sexual behaviour. Societies rules and social standards are strange, they are however dynamic and there is hope for change. In my view people should all be treated the same, you either like a person or don't.
