Well it seems that all these women are simply suffering from the same condition. They're all middle-class company owners/managers that are afraid to be up front with they're spouses about probably anything. They also have a need for pure escapism and fantasy. In fact you could say they're a lot like the male punters here on this site. I'm not having a go with people here it just seems that the women in that article are very similar with male punters. They have sexual needs, fantasies and emotional needs that aren't being filled at home because of lack of comunication and fear that the other partner might run a mile if they only knew what the other was into.
