"You or someone you know is having an affair. We know, it sounds surprising, shocking even, but apparently that is the case. Cookie Magazine and "AOL Body" did a survey on the subject and 30,000 people responded. As far as surveys go, that is a big number, and it's even bigger when you consider that their questions were aimed solely at married women with children. Yep, lots of mommies are getting action on the side.

The survey, "Sex and the American Mom," revealed that 34% of these married moms is in the midst of, or has already had, an affair...

Another somewhat mind-blowing result of this survey was that 77% of the respondents said they want more sex. That's more than three quarters of the 30,000 women asked who said they aren't getting enough. Again, we ask, who are these people? And are we to conclude that so many stray because they are not sexually satisfied?

Cheating seems to be a direct result of not getting what you need, be it sex, attention, openness, what have you. If there is a void, and it can be filled by someone else, chances are it will be..."

  • Sluts!

  • It's a lot of women isn't it. but i was thinking about these terms...

    slut: a sexually promiscuous woman, prostitute.
    hmmm....

    promiscuous:
    1. Having casual sexual relations frequently with different partners; indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.
    2. Lacking standards of selection; indiscriminate.
    3. Casual; random...
    oooooookkkaaayyyy....

    None of these really seem to apply imho where otherwise normally respectable women are getting it on for better sex outside marriage. A whopping 77% of the women really got a heart-pounding experience and were really turned on to it and wanted more. So...

    lustful:
    Excited or driven by lust.

    lust
    1. Intense or unrestrained sexual craving
    2. a. An overwhelming desire or craving
    b. Intense eagerness or enthusiasm

    ahhhhHHH =D say what you will now but, that fits sooo perfect. =P

  • just looking at it ascance for conversation'sake, isn't it also funny how everyone feels they have a right to their sexuality. Gays wallow in it like pigs do in good mud =P when they have a parade goin' down. And I'm sure some heterosexuals join the fun times when hedonism is just raw "in ya face" =D and think of it, aren't these the fruits of the (rather ongoing) "sexual revolution" our fathers started or "finished"...whatever =P lol ...well, aren't they? =D

    You should read the article. There's more than this crap I've twisted here =P It's a quick read NEway... but it seemed the two lady authors were pretty cool. I liked the tact they showed in their writing for such a ??? taboo??? subject heh ??? You find I guess as divorces are thought of as the common course of things and the normal end to most relationships sometimes people just don't even begin to have the necessary impetus to consider marriage for the heavy commitment it has to be. That or perhaps I side with the others in that if you're not getting something in a bad and/or unrequitable relationship..I think anyone could be vulnerable given the right circumstances. I think that's the truth of it for me. but y'know I've never heard of this "Cookie" magazine. WTF is that? Nor this "AOL Body" whateverthehell. So maybe not knowing what the demographic that's representative of is rather something to be considered as well... *shrug* but to me it's temptation. I know girls don't like to be turned down from their offers either I know that for a fact. Sometimes I think some people are just damned if you do an damned if you don't =P lol

  • There isn't anything wrong with it in my opinion.

    Unless vows were exchanged it's not an issue, even then it's a religious and/or marital problem.

    However, rather than cheating people should just face reality and call the relationship off.

    No. You're spinning, and you are, as always, merely spewing your uninformed interpretation/ opinion of what you see on television and/or hear from your pastor.
    Twisted speculation is not automatically a valid argument. Your quickness to blame this on gay people is, in a word, silly.
    I fail to see how this article has anything to do with homosexuality. These are heterosexual, married couples. Stop pushing your agenda.


    As to high rates of adultery...society tells them that marriage is what they want, what will make them happy; I never find it surprising that a good many people end up realizing the fallibility of it, when love and/or status is taken out of the picture.
    Rather than cheating, however, and putting their families through that garbage, they should end it in a healthy manner.
    Instead, they continue to march on beneath the banner of that ridiculous circus.
    And "they" say gays are trying to ruin marriage...it's already been soured, apparently. It was never perfect to begin with, never will be.

  • thanks for taking the time to read my posts, but...

    "Your quickness to blame this on gay people is, in a word, silly." --humdrum

    well, my response is simply that blame per se was never my intention and I wonder if it's your own insecurity doing the "spinning" for you. I was putting homosexuality on a plane virtually equal with any sexuality, but you'll just take it the way you "feel" about it apparently, irrespective of whether it's exactly applicable or not to my comments or the story perhaps. Sincerely, I'm not trying to suffer you here. Maybe my analogy was a little edgy, but I meant it inclusively in a way that didn't exclude heterosexuals either; including the married women who find indulging forbidden sex can be much better where their marriages are suffering boredom or worse perhaps in that intensely personal sexuality department...

    and to quote nickwe3d, the writers also point out that more Americans these days are more understanding about it; and I think they raise some great introspective questions for a LOT of people, not just the women:

    "As a society, it seems as though we've become less judgmental about affairs in general [unless you're in politics I guess!]. Maybe we've realized how hard marriage is and have simply gotten more realistic. But, maybe the scope of the issue is bigger, and what's happening is that we're in the midst of redefining marriage as we have known it.

    The stereotype, of course, is if there's someone sneaking around in a marriage, it's the guy. In general, no one is surprised to hear that men cheat on their wives. However, when it comes to wives cheating on their husbands, while not entirely new, it is much more common than we thought. When we told men that one in three married moms cheat (or have cheated) on their husbands, and that a solid majority are actually looking for more sex than they're having at home, most mens' eyes light up with surprise and certainly curiosity. Some even joked about where they might find one of these gals. But, what we didn't hear was "Yes, I can understand that. I'm not in the mood very often and I'm probably not satisfying my wife's sexual desires."

    Could the American male be suffering from a proverbial "headache?"..."
