Is sex on an out of town trip okay for men only, or can we do it too?

I am married and I travel a fair amount, a couple of trips a month or more. I feel like society says it is okay for a man to have a meetup while he is away from his wife. What if I want to? I don't want the answers about if I am asking I shouldn't be married.

wow. did YOU stir up some heat, eh?? and what i find really funny is that men really DO do this, all the time. alot of men cheat on their wives for a variety of reasons. the out of town hookup is usually just a quick, cheap, dirty itch scratcher and men will insist that it means nothing more than getting their shoes shined. but boy, when a woman ponders it, feathers get ruffled, don't they?? welcome to the new world guys. you no longer rule the roost or have all the options. doesn't feel so good to have those feelings, does it?

do i think it's ok? no, not really, not for my life at least. but in my previous marriage i hooked up with a buddy a few times, i'll admit. course, the marriage was by then sexless and ending. for most people, this is the big no-no. for others, it's don't ask don't tell. and i'm not even sure you're really asking about yourself, or if you're posing a hypothetical.......

I don't think it's o.k. for anyone to cheat. Besides, when you're married, usually sex isn't about just sex. It's about intimacy and feeling connected with someone. A lot of people think that when you're married, that's it. You don't have to work on your relationship or try anymore. That's complete crap. People grow and change. The important thing is to grow and change together. Maybe you're looking for companionship. It can get lonely being away from the one you love, but I don't think that's an excuse to ruin something that you worked hard to build, no matter if you're a man or a woman.

Why do you need "us" to support your decision to cheat on hubby? Just go do whatever you feel is appropriate for you. No need to justify it either by what SOME men choose to do when out of town.

Society DOESN'T say it's okay; societal misfits say it's okay...which it's not- for a man or a woman.

I'm a part of society, and I don't feel its right for married men or women to "meetup" while away on business. No gender bias for me.

Here's the thing.. You acting like an asshole just because some married men do it, is about the most pathetic thing I've heard today. It's not okay for any married person to cheat. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. Why come on here and insult our intelligence? If you aspire to be a cheating, lying whore, go for it. Otherwise, honor your vows.

Yes, I think fair play is OK!
If it's good for the man, then it's good for the woman as well.

Well, IMHO, if you're married, you shouldn't want to "meet up" with anyone else.

However, if you so felt the need, would anyone really be able to stop you? If you really wanted it, there's not a damn thing I, your husband, your friends, family, or anyone else would be able to say to prevent you from doing it. That's the reason the less-than-faithful ingorant ass-husbands do it. There's little in the way of any proof of it, and there's nothing to stop them outside of the prospect of getting caught, which is minimal, because there is no one local in the area who they might know, and they can make sure everything is good and clean afterwards. There's no receipts, because everything is handled by the company. There's no proof to physically carry except condoms, which can easily be hidden.

In reality, for a married person, sex on an out-of-town trip is NOT OKAY for anyone. But, the cold, hard fact is that it's very VERY easy.

The real question here is, is it wrong to cheat on your spouse? Yes.

Married, not married, don't know that I ever asked.

When I was traveling heavily, I hooked up with business women on the road a bit.

I thought that was why they put bars in those hotels.

If you prefer not to feel guilty about this .. ask your hubby's permission beforehand.

I am also married and travel extensively ... AND don't cheat.

Cheating on a spouse, whether you're a man doing it when you're away or a woman doing it when you're away, is wrong. If your man was going away once or twice a month, would you be okay with him doing this to you?

Uhhh, which society would that be? The society I hang with doesn't believe that at all.... Whether or not you can do it is up to you... but don't blame it on society.

Society doesn't say it is okay for a man to cheat on his wife. It is not okay for his wife to cheat on him either.

Even though it might be 'okay' for some married couples to do it, the end result is usually the marriage ending or problems becoming so insurmountable that the married couple cannot find their way out of all of them...it might be a good time to think about whether hooking up with someone is worth the possibility of losing your marriage...:)
