n literature, female passion that
strays outside the bounds of mar-
riage tends to meet a spectacular-
ly unhappy end — with Emma
Bovary's poisoned chalice or Anna
Karenina throwing herself under a train.
In real life, the cost-benefit analysis
of female infidelity isn't so clear.
Traditionally, men have been pegged
as the philandering sex — women
being regarded as less promiscuous by
nature or, their lives tethered to hus-
band and family, more vulnerable to
exposure, or both.
But recent research heralds a sexual sea
change: Women under 40 are now just
as likely to cheat as their male counter-
parts. The reason, believes
Baltimore psychologist
Shirley Glass, Ph.D., is that
society now encourages
women and men to become
friends, especially at work.

Hooper: If I'm reading you right, Shirley,
these increasingly common office affairs
have turned the tables on traditional gen-
der stereotypes — that men are more
interested in sex for its own sake and
women are only looking for love.
Glass: Right. In the past, women
would have "emotional affairs" but not
intercourse, because there was too
great a price — the "double standard"
and all that. But now they've had
more premarital sex, so they're less
inhibited, and they've got economic
independence and the autonomy that
goes with it.
And men aren't looking for sex on
the side because they feel entitled;
they're first forming deep emotional
attachments at work that then lead to
sex. And this kind of affair — sexual
