Zurich's housewives have been a stop over destination for European gentlemen on their "grand tour" for centuries... the most daring one, Mr Casanova himself, even made it to Schwyz!
b) the term describes a one night stand made by a person in a relationship. If the neighbour is visited by the same BMW driver twice a week... thats something VERY different.
it's not obvious around these parts...i once said i was married and told the guy all about my husband, not just i was married but basically everything he said i referenced my husband-because i thought he was slow... never really had to do that before but i do think men are a bit macho in the french parts...
in zurich it's more creepy eyes, stares, it's more contained- i'm sure the affairs and stuff go on in the swiss german areas too, but people are much more discreet.
So it's blue-on-blue at home as well as at work. I can only imagine it's like riding two bicycles at once. Thrilling - maybe. Stupid - definitely. Damage - certain.
Damage is not certain and some couples do have "open relationships" or "don't ask, don't tell" relationships.
As I mentioned above, there are some women who want younger men to "service" them and there are some men who enjoy the thought and even like to watch their wife being "serviced" - or join in at the free-end.
If you ever went to a Swinger's Club, you might be shocked not so much by what you see, but by how full the place is with couples.
