These women have challenged an ideal and moved into a heady, often compelling, sometimes demanding, if not dangerous, liaison. They have chosen to live parallel lives and in this book share their stories.

From cyber love, no-sex affairs, bondage affairs to mentoring lovers, Dr Zita Weber sets out to tell the true life stories of married women who take a lover. A total of 12 'brave' women tell their stories. Their principal motivation in doing this was to demystify the whole area of sexuality and to dispel myths about who has affairs and why. They wanted to share their stories with a wider audience in the hope that greater understanding will lead to even greater acceptance of alternate forms of sexuality and relationships.
