This from the February 2008 Glamour Magazine:
"If your girlfriend or wife would never know about it, would you have a one-night stand with a smoking hot stranger?
No: 70%
Yes: 30%" (source)
Are
you kidding me? When Glamour called for the poll husbands must have
thought it was really their wife's friend pretending to be a magazine
-or maybe that their wife was listening on another extension. There
isn't a man out that wouldn't do it if there was NO WAY he'd get
caught. My hairdresser said that if all was good with him and his (new)
bride he wouldn't do it because he'd feel too guilty. I contend he
would do it and feel guilty after the deed was done.
Let's see if the men here will be a little more forthcoming... [Blonde Sagacity]

I think there's more guys like
her hairdresser out there than she thinks. I'm reminded of an old
Mike Nichols & Elaine May sketch, quite racy for television at the
time, where the couple are parked on some lover's lane. The guy,
classically, puts his arm around her and starts moving his hand to the
promised land; she nudges it back. Each time the guy tries to reason
with her - you know the lines [I'll still respect you]
- and tries again. Finally, she lets him proceed. He
doesn't know what to do, never having had the opportunity. But now she's worked herself into a state of licentiousness, and
demands some action. The guy looks at his watch and says,"OMG,
look what time it is."
The sketch was funny because so many in the audience identified with
it, and I think that's still true. The man code demands of us a certain
cockiness, ahem, where women are concerned, especially if they
know they won't get called on. I know a fair number of men who
have succumbed, and a fair number who have not, so I tend to accept
that 70-30 response. Say, I know! Let's find out for sure.

I wouldn't have a one-night stand with my girlfriend or wife. Why would I have one with a smoking hot stranger?

Barn Armysters, deny them your essence!
ReplyDeleteIn my 20s, I did it plenty of times and didn't care if my girlfriend(s) found out. Now, in my 50s, and earlier too, with the accompanying loss of libido and, I'd like to think, better morals-no way
ReplyDeleteMM
Wife? Absolutely not.
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend? Probably.
I am principled to a fault, but I've never made a solemn vow to a girlfriend.

Any woman who would be willing to sleep with me would undoubtedly have a greater expectation of what sex would be like than what I could possibly deliver. If they think that sex with me would be great, I'd hate to disabuse them of the notion.
ReplyDeleteI agree with skh.pcola. I had many opportunities to cheat when I was married and traveling on business in far-flung areas of the country and the world. Never cheated - not once in over 16 years. However, before I was engaged and since my divorce, that’s a different story...

Ymmmm. I haven't seen legs that great since Betty Grable.(Legs insured with Lloyd's of London for $1,000,000)
ReplyDeleteHell, yeah!!
ReplyDeleteI say no because I reject the premise. My wife would find out. Guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteI talk in my sleep. Otherwise I'd give her the best 3 minutes of her life!!
