Just in time for Mother's Day, the New York Post has dropped quite a bomb: According to a new survey of 30,000 American moms, "A shocking 34 percent of mothers reported having had an extramarital affair after the birth of their children." Additionally, more than half confessed to contemplating straying on their spouses, and even more tragic, 48 percent of them claimed they suspected their husbands already had or were currently having an affair.
WTF is going on!?
Pilar Guzman, editor-in-chief of Cookie magazine, which co-conducted the study titled "Sex and the American Mom," said, "The somewhat startling statistics invite a closer look at the state of sex and the American marriage." I'll say. They also dug up the following:
"A considerable 77 percent of the women said they want more sex and 29 percent said they'd rather get more action in the sack than lose 10 pounds."
"One way lots of those ladies are keeping the home fires stoked is porn. Nearly a quarter of the respondents 'fessed up to looking at dirty pics and movies."
"Another 21 percent use booze to get in the swing of things, and 17 percent like fantasy play."
I guess there is some optimism (?) in there, but these numbers kind of freak me out. We know male cheating has been a hot topic lately, but who knew all these married ladies were getting all this side action too? Which brings up the question: Is it ever okay to cheat on your spouse?
Um, and would you rather lose 10 pounds or get more sex!?
