What drives a woman to sleep with another woman's man?

This is something I've wondered about for a very long time.  When I was in college, I had a fling with another girl's boyfriend. I thought she was pretty, so therefore, in my mind, that made me prettier.  I also knew that he was taking quite a risk sneaking around with me. That did wonders for my ego because I felt since he was taking such incredible risks to see me, then certainly that must mean I was worth all of the effort and energy he was putting forth in order for us to be together. It was an exciting, unpredictable time being his "secret lover", and I am left with many fond memories of the relationship. But I was 19, dumb, and a little girl compared to where I am today.  Which leads me to my current question...

What exactly drives grown, mature, adult women to sleep with, and continue to be with, another woman's man?  Is it an ego boost? The thrill of the challenge? An attraction to what appears to be a stable catch? And if one unknowingly gets caught up with a married man, what drives a woman to remain in that situation? 

I really need clarity on this, as it continues to be a missing piece of the puzzle for me.

    Everyone wants what they can't have. That's all it is. Its human nature to go after what you can't have . Not only that.. everyone assumes "the grass is greener on the other side".. but that is never the case..I have had a dozen married men tell me.. They wish they never married their wives or I wish I met you first.. and I fell for it.. after they got what they want.. you never hear back from them.. but you learn and grow.. Fact of the Matter : Men who are Married or Have a Girlfriend is off limits.. if they are so unhappy they should be man enough to leave the girls there with.. not be a coward and run behind her back playing on another woman’s sympathy.. just to get in her panties..

    I would like to say that I am the man that married women want and I do not know why for sure. I think it is because I treat them like they are speacial and I love to perform foreplay exspeacially oral I love to give oral and I am a little above average in size and women do talk and tell there best friends and next thing I know there best friend is wanting me to show them how I treat a woman in and out of bed. I know that what I am doing is wrong but can not stop cause I really injoy pleasing them to there ultimate sexual pleasure and it never bothers me about there husbands finding out cause they are not pleasing there wives completely and thet deserve to exsperence total sexual satisfaction.

    It's all biological. The woman wants sperm other than what she has at home, and the man wants to spread his genes to whoever comes around. Opposites attract and male and female, yin/yang, whatever will come together no matter what. Sex is what makes the world go around, it makes us immortal. She is not a slut. It's not that she likes all the men she sees and lust endlessly about them, she is biologically seeking genetic variation and genetic drift, it's programmed into us.

    my question is why is it that we always want to know why a woman would do that to another woman when the real question should be why is the man doing it. i'm not saying it's right that a woman should go after another woman's man, but he is the one cheating on you get mad at him. honestly alot of men cheat because the women they are with find out, listen to his sob story of it didn't mean anything and then stay with them.the worst is when your own mother is the other woman, that happened to me 8 years ago. that's really the worst. last but not least if you think your man is cheating he probably is,life is the way it is that will never change but if your man cheats on you don't put up with that s---.LEAVE!

    Ms Lady,

    Men will sleep with almost anyone at anytime and in any place if he thinks that he can get away with it. Women and men alike are territorial so for a woman to infringe on the needs of a married or otherwise committed man says a lot about the woman that is willing to share her stuff with someone that is doing whatever with whomever. You may not be the first and you definately won't be the last. GOD forbid you are the next one in line for him because his story will be the same in the end for you.

    let him go and if you r fine, look me up. HA HA

    I've been with a married man for 3 yrs and guess what ladies he's not married any more!! All that he won't leave her is bull. I have no plans on being with him in a long term anything ,but we are the best of friends. I met him, we clicked and it was on. I had no intention on hurting his wife. I wasn't out to take her man. If their relationship was right he would never had stepped out on her from the gate. You can't take or temp a person that's serious about their relationship. The sex was good!!! He bought me a car. The money was good! He cooked for me and my child. Washed clothes and took me out. At the time I wasn't in a commited relationship so being the other woman why should I care at all. I was doin me. I didn't listen to him complain about his wife he never did. We didn't talk about her. As for not being able to get my own man I could've if I wanted too but I was datin alot of people. Don't get mad at the other woman get mad at your man for not caring enough about you and your feelings. It goes the same for me too!

    you are correct in thinking that most women do it for the ego boost. They think to themselves that they can prove they are better because they can steal men away.

    You homewreckers live in a fantasy world! Of course your marrried man is fun, loving and attentive to your needs, his wife is at home taking care of all of his worries! Don't you get it??? She manages the household so that he is free to give you his best self. But trust me, once you have to deal with him FULL TIME (his problems, moods, kids, bills, etc) let's see how long your wonderful, charming, loving man seems so perfect!
