Although "monogamy " may be the alleged norm, serial monogamy is more certainly more prevalent and "sexual fidelity", or not, needs to be totally between those in any given relationship at any given time. No body's business but those involved.

For me, the real issue here is TRUTH. We know most politicians lie. (Perhaps most people do.) But to lie so everyone can see it needs to be political suicide. If they lie about "this", then how can we trust anything they say? We cannot.

I don't care how anyone carries on their sex life as long as it is honest, and not harmful, in the eyes of those to whom it matters - wives, mistresses, children. Or, in the case of public figures - the public. Even as chairperson of the local women's resource centre, I accepted that my personal life had to be above reproach lest I give the centre a black eye. Getting that off the ground was far more important to me that anything else.

I am missing something to notice that it only male politicians who seem to get caught?
