Nonetheless when it comes to sex they feel they are missing out. All their men friends seem to be having a good time and having little flings on the side, so why not them too?
It is not that their sexlife at home is stale although probably it is more routine than adventurous but looking back they see and regret that in their earlier years they were not as wild or promiscuous as they could have been and certainly they never had as many sexual adventures or exploits as all their friends. An affair now will not affect their homelife; all they want is their fair share of fun. So, they look for affairs wherever they can. Mostly they are successful.
‘What she doesn’t know, doesn’t hurt her. For all I know she is having an affair while the kids are at school in the afternoons. Listen, at my age why shouldn’t I have an affair? It means nothing. An affair makes you feel good.’
