MARRIAGE is the death of hope," Woody Allen once said. But not for everyone. In New York, where eligible men are few and far between, single women who endure long stretches of unwilled celibacy may resort to cheating with someone else's husband because it seems like the only hope - consequences be damned.
In December, I slept with a married man - late 50s, attractive, smart and successful. He's been with his wife forever, a lifestyle to which he is completely wedded, one that I had no intention of jeopardizing. Any guilt I might have felt was further assuaged by the fact that the man already had a roguish reputation. Since it had been two months that I'd gone without any skin-to-skin contact and I was too impatient to go through another round of dating rigmarole - the dinners, the chitchat, the sizing each other up - I reached out to him.
It was mid-afternoon when we met for a late lunch at a forgettable sushi place near 42nd Street. Since we weren't on a traditional "date," there was no need to conceal our vulnerabilities in order to make a good first impression. I was relaxed, and enjoyed being open with and appreciated by a man without even having to try.
Afterward, he put his arm around me and steered me to West 45th Street to Hotel QT, a sense of furtiveness lending a sexy dangerousness to our imminent entwinement. Entering the room, we anxiously pulled off our clothes, tearing back the bedcovers.
Last spring, a Time-CNN poll determined that while 90 percent of Americans say adultery is wrong, some type of infidelity occurs within half of all marriages. The reasons why seem obvious enough: boredom, loneliness, anger and, in cases when bedroom activities have simply died out,

I don't think I have the right to criticize her.
I would sooooo marry that woman.
At least for the night.
I suppose, if you count a vagrant thought about what a fine man the Vice President is as "some type of infidelity."
Ah yes, the ole take everybody else down with you.
Feminine Mystique Ping.
Two entire MONTHS? Wow, some kind of desert, real dry dock there ... [/sarc]
That would help her get her money's worth out of the fake b*obs, at least.
Deserves repeating.
Why assume implants? The picture does not indicate that she's well-endowed.
Because it looks fake to me.
So you are saying she's got Super Elastic Booby PlasticTM?
Then she didn't get her money's worth, if they are. My real question is why she would write this article in the first place.
Apparently, you'd need to marry someone else before she'd be interested.
LOL!
Look, buster, two hours is a cryin'-jag crisis to *me*.....
Same inflated crap they spew about number of queers.
She's got a nice rack, but her face is a little horsey---someone stick a bridle in that maw!
I'm in my late 20s...smart, successful, unmarried. I have youth on my side, Laz!
;-)
Apparently though, she likes old married guys.
She thinks she's scored some points against the man's wife (who, whatever other qualities she has, is at least married, unlike the author), and against other women in competition for the same pool of men. Her description of the man suggests that she's flattered he chose her over other available women. She's bragging.
Alrighty then.
I'll marry her sister.
Then we can cheat and incest and infidelity and fornicate all at the same time.
