Stray fellas want Fifty Shades lover

SERIAL mistress Karen Marley has dated countless married men in the nine years since her divorce and thinks cheating by the over-40s is on the rise.

Karen, 50, said: “There’s been a massive increase in men who are cheating. Whether it’s because of sites like Illicit Encounters or not, I don’t know.

“I think more people are cheating because they don’t want to put up with boring ‘Sunday morning’ sex. They want to have Fifty Shades of Grey sex. Mistresses will get asked to do much more sexually adventurous things than wives.”

Karen divorced nine years ago and realised her new lovers were married because they were never around at weekends. She enjoys bedroom fun and insists having affairs helps many lovers keep their marriage on track.

She said: “Once I got my head around it, I enjoyed the fact I could choose who I wanted to see and when. I loved being single and being able to see them when and where I wanted.

“And I guess that is what is happening with the rest of the country.

“There’s a lot more acceptance of cheating in this country these days. It’s not like France where having a mistress was a status symbol.

“People expect a mistress to be like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction – a bunny boiler. But once they realise I don’t want to end a marriage it’s less of a scandal.”
