>About the 70% of  married  men  that fool around, the statistics 
>sound right to me, but I wonder how many married women also fool 
around?

	This  response  hooked  me a little bit, and  set  me  to 
	thinking.  "Historically", it seeems, men have more often 
	been the  braggers,  and  the  women  (shy,demure  little 
	creatures they were)  seldom  publicly  bragged about how 
	many men they went to bed with (for sex).

	By backfitting this concept, to the question at hand, how 
	many women would admit to "fooling  around" outside their 
	current  relationship  ?   (See,I even included  POSSLQ's 
	(Persons Of Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters).

	I found an article  by  some  woman  in  California  that 
	lead(s) seminars for married women  who  wished  to learn 
	how to successfully "cheat" on their  husbands,  using  a 
	technique:  The theory was (is), that  after  many months 
	of meetings, hubby would get used to the  wife coming and 
	going  several times a week (4-6), and the stage  is  set 
	for  her  to  slip out with someone else (note:   someone 
	else ...  not necessarily a man).

	The significance of  all  this to the topic, she was (is) 
	the type of person that would never "admit" to cheating. 

	After this lengthy bit, back to  the  question:  How many 
	women would admit (social stigma that it is) to "cheating 
	on their husbands (or SO's).

				".. sadder but wiser ... ", dammit
				
	BTW:   If a married woman engages in homosexual activity, 
	does this constitute adultery ? Cheating ?
