Oh my God, she says. I did it.

Where?

A hotel. Oh my God.

Tell me about it.

Driving there, I felt like a virgin. I got there and he opened the door and he was wearing these great jeans and no shirt and I was like, Really? We had some wine and at first he just laid on top of me on the bed, like it just felt great to have his body on top of mine. Up till now it's just been him brushing his hand against my ass in the elevator, and I have almost been able to come from that.

What about the taxi? I say.

Oh, right, and the taxi, she says, because affairs are full of half-truths, varying truths. You tell one friend there's a guy you have a crush on, another friend that you kissed him, and another you tell that you take cabs with him because cabs are the only safe place and you straddle him in the cab and he puts his hands on your ass and you make out like animals. And then you forget who you told what.

So how was it?

Words can't describe. I was wearing a thin white button-down and like, our bodies together, holy shit, it was so hot, I mean the first time was like crazy, like we had to get it out. It was fucking crazy. The second time was slower. And the third time we did like everything we missed, crazy positions, oh my God, we did it everywhere.

Oh God. Okay. What are you going to do?

I don't know. Tell me what to do. I love X, but I don't know if I can live a life with him knowing what's out there. But I think I can, I mean, I'll have a normal, good life with X.

You know how I feel.

You don't think I should get married.

Yes.

But don't you think people should have last flings? I mean. You sort of told me I could do this.

Yeah, I meant that. Mostly because I think if you didn't do it now, you'd do it after a few kids, and that's worse. I just think it's too early for you to feel this way.

What if I just do this my whole life?

I think you might.

I feel so bad.

You sound excited.

Fuck you.

I've been an Esquire subscriber for many years, so yeah, I caught this. Women are almost even with men with regards to affairs. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there that feel they are "settling" before they marry, so they use that as a justification for fucking an ex the night before the wedding. Or to continue doing the same throughout their marriage.

Why we cheat? Number one reason? Because we fence in our relationships.

Why do people get divorced? Number one reason? Marriage.

[Gmac]

Why do I cheat? Because I can and want to, and because one woman generally isn't enough to keep me content.
