Sex Offenders

I would have never imagined a duck would fit there and once discovered would have never inserted it… Never mind that; why do people have affairs, liaisons, trysts and random freak nasty one night stands when they are married? I have a friend… No, it is a coworker…. Actually, it is a random stranger I happened to be speaking to in a bus terminal in Hobbes, New Mexico... no, you don’t know them and their first name started with a number and they had no last name at all. Anyway…
Somewhat attractive young lady, having lost forty to fifty pounds, is now on the prowl for a man. The fact that she is married doesn’t seem to stop her. A beautiful woman with a seemingly pleasant husband cannot keep her hands or her breast to herself. Terribly unattractive man with a very attractive wife practically, and I am sure literally, begs for female attention. I am not surprised to hear they all have marital problems, but I am curious as to which came first, the marital problems or the inappropriate behavior.
One random stranger I happened to become acquainted with during a brief stay in a Kurdish prison in the 1980’s; justified his affair as a curse from God. God had blessed, or cursed him with an insatiable sex drive and, though he is not a sex addict, is compelled to bed as many women as possible without the use of force. He loves his wife and feels no guilt prior, during or after a sexual conquest. How do you love someone and not feel guilt when you purposefully hurt them?
A woman I met on a midnight train to Nashville is seeking a sexual partner to help her out of her slump. After dropping the weight she feels hot and needs a man to agree. She believes an extramarital affair will spark her marriage and make her a happier wife and mother. No, really, she believes lying to her husband and sharing her body with another man will help her marriage. No, don’t laugh, I’m serious. She is looking for a special man. Not just any man will do. She would like to sex him two to three times a month when things are a little slow at home. Apparently, her husband works a difficult shift to manage with small children and is often tired when her motor is running, unavailable when the children are asleep and ready to rock and roll at inopportune moments of the day. Making arrangements for alone time is apparently more troublesome than arranging a rendezvous in a seedy motel during the lunch hour. She loves her husband, he is a good father, provider, caring husband, but she needs to feel wanted. Rob a bank for goodness sakes; don’t ruin your family! She knows, KNOWS, he will forgive her if he catches her. You get the feeling he is pulling his train into another station?
Wait just a moment, I will be right back.
