Some people find it easy to commit adultery. Their attitude and circumstances mean that, when an offer comes along, they are ready to accept.
If you're single, however, committing adultery is a problem. Who are you cheating on?
I like to delude myself that I have a girl friend. I pretend I am in a long-term relationship with the girl at the pub who sells me beer and hamburgers each Friday. When I talk to other women, I get the delicious thrill of the affair, without the attendant complication of guilt.
Sadly, it hasn't been effective yet. But it has taught me a number of valuable lessons in how one should commit adultery.
- Find yourself another person to commit adultery with. Although your partner will still probably leave you, sex with an inflatable doll is not technically adultery.
- Adultery is best committed when away from home on a business trip; the annual family holiday to Nannas is not a good time.
- It's OK for you to commit adultery with a person of your gender. You can tell your partner "I'm looking for something you havent got," and not be insulting.
- If you are 'caught in the act', it might be worth asking your partner to join in, but probably isn't.
- Although the Bible says "Thou shalt not commit adultery", it also says you shouldnt covet your neighbours ox. The Bible therefore obviously only applies to farmers, and can safely be ignored by city-dwellers.
- It's a good idea not to have an affair with priests and nuns. Technically, these people are married to God. You don't want God slashing your tyres for eternity, even if you do live in a city.
- Affairs in hotels are sexy; affairs in the back seats of Corollas are not.
- It is not a good idea to keep the condoms as a souvenir.
- Despite what Bill Clinton might say, oral sex counts.
- Conduct your affair using code words only the both of you understand. "The deal's going pear-shaped. We'd better have a crisis meeting; you bring the stationery" is a good code; "Ill meet you at my house in half an hour. Buy condoms" is not.
