'I cheated because I believe pleasurable sex between consenting adults is no big deal'
Lisa Hilton's 'cheating career' began in her teens. Now 31, she looks back in languor at the pleasures of the forbidden and the thrill of transgression.

So here's the big confession, the one which will produce all the indignant hate mail I won't already be getting for saying that fidelity's for mingers. I cheated because I liked sex. I cheated because I truly believe that pleasurable sex between consenting adults is not that big a deal, but often the men I loved, the men I wanted to spend time cooking and watching films and going on holiday with, didn't see it that way. I broke their trust and destroyed their hopes because I wanted to get laid, and I didn't stop until I met a man whose pain mattered more to me than my own pleasure.
That's not very nice, but then cheating isn't nice. Drug users don't smoke crack because they plan on dying in a pool of vomit in a public lavatory; they do it because it's fun. Which is the one factor missing from every last sordid confession of the ousted cheater. Infidelity necessitates hypocrisy, but perhaps the worst form of dishonesty is not admitting you enjoyed it.
I thought "I broke their trust and destroyed their hopes because I wanted to get laid, and I didn't stop until I met a man whose pain mattered more to me than my own pleasure." summed it up. I wonder if this article was more acceptable because writer was 'reformed' character?
