‘Other woman’ is an ego
booster
And a sexual stimulant to
man,
Though an enigma to woman,
his wife.
It is past that marriage is
eternal;
It is past that woman is
house bound.
Both are employed; both have
exposure.
The time spent by colleagues
across sex
Is longer than the time spent
by couples.
Proximity brings about
intimacy
And intimacy leads to sexual
love.
Other woman need not be a
better lot.
That she is untried and hard
to attain
Is itself her potent charm to
tempt man.
Her presence acts like an
aphrodisiac
And her nearness makes man
alcoholic.
Marriage can give him a
blanket of warmth
But can not keep him off from
yearning.
Other woman fills the void
existing
Or dig one and fill it with
herself.
Other woman enjoys her quota
too.
The marriages old and staid
are shaken;
The marriages loosely held
are broken.
Nay, ideal couples too bite
their dust.
Staying separate is a
catalyst.
Emotional infidelity sets,
To be followed or not by adultery.
Potent man each draws his
‘other woman’.
Who is no one but some one’s
fertile wife.
‘Other woman’ is not a
certain woman
But a woman of a certain period.
‘Other man’ and ‘other woman’
are drawn
To form a perfect pair by
heart and soul.
They both enjoy their
companionship.
She takes care of her looks
and he, of his,
Which throw benefits to their
spouses too.
Hormones in spate, they find
purpose in life.
Husbands, by and large, have
other women.
Wives shed their qualm to
play other woman.
Male promiscuity is
manliness;
Female titillation is
womanliness.

And pine for what is not’ -
