Anybody have any deep-rooted, intellectualised reasons for why this phenomenon exists and appeals to many?

Have you ever seen/thought of seeing a mistress chaps? Anybody have any deep-rooted, intellectualised reasons for why this phenomenon exists and appeals to many?

An interesting question. It would indeed be interesting to see what people have to say for the second question.

"Mistress" makes me think of a 60-year old wrinkly primary school teacher. No thanks.

I'd have thought the appeal of a mistress is that it is completely seperate from everyday life, so that it is possible to act without constraints from real life. Also, I think that many people enjoy the 'forbidden' element of the whole thing; sneaking around, secrecy, private rendezvous etc.

Not that I have a mistress or have any intention of looking for one.

I guess it's like the "forbidden fruit" - giys know they shouldn't be doing it so they get a kick out of it?

Why shouldn't they be doing it?

Do you mean a mistress as in a bit on the side, or as in a nice lady who works in one of them massage parlours above the local chip shop...? Or, like, someone you pay to lick her boots and generally get kicked about a bit?

Ew. The only men allowed mistresses are the likes of Lord Byron and Shelley.

you could argue its the alpha male syndrome insticnt tells us to spread our seed as far and wide as possible, the male need of a spieces to procreate as much as possible to raise children.
the other view is men just want to get it in as many women as possible

I think OP is thinking more in terms of some fancy courtesan...

The bold bit, but it's an over-simplification :redface:

Oh, I know it was a bit of a simple way of putting it.

They're quite cool girls, them. Getting paid to humiliate rich businessmen and call them names, and not have to do anything that would be traditionally seen as sexual? Not too bad, eh? And they get crazy cool outfits..
