This series of articles from Boomer Yearbook explores the fascinating and varied sexual behavioral patterns that occur as a result of the impact of the modern World; the challenges faced by men and women of the new age and the hurdles that must be addressed: Boomer Yearbook’s Guide and Coaching Strategy for the baby boomer generation.
The word ‘mistress’ conjures images of half naked women permanently dressed in see through underwear and sporting expensive jewelry, a cosmetically enhanced cleavage and a wicked smile. In fact, excluding the odd exception to the rule, baby boomers who are mistresses are invariably ordinary women who fell in love with a man they could not have.
Despite baby boomers’ reputation for sexual liberty, many of them find monogamy very comforting and spend their lives with one person or perhaps two at a stretch. There are a few, however, that become drawn to the dreaded love triangle like a moth to a flame and these sexual intrigues can cause considerable heartbreak and emotional turmoil for everyone involved. Psychological articles tell us that heartbreak can be more difficult to cope with in later life and in serious cases can lead to depression.
Baby boomer mistresses who have been attached to one man for a very long time experience all kinds of emotional insecurity as they get older, for obvious reasons. As they age and lose their looks they believe – in some instances with good reason – that their man will feel less affection for them, no longer find them sexually alluring and eventually seek someone younger.
The reality of affairs is that they are often conducted in an atmosphere of home comfort rather than sleazy bars and private clubs. Baby boomers in the same affair for a long time have much the same home routine as conventionally married partners but without any legal obligation to carry on their association once attraction wears off. This leaves the mistress who is dependent on her man for support in the unenviable position of having no financial security and no emotional security either. This could be the reason for the relationship enjoying its longevity in the first place.
Men have had a generic love of being made comfortable by women since the beginning of time. When things go wrong at home and their relationships with their wives become strained through the daily pressure of family life, they sometimes seek the ingredients missing from their marriage elsewhere. If they are lucky enough to find it, a love affair can continue for many years as the man enjoys all the attention he does not get at home.
Psychological articles do not see extra marital affairs as particularly beneficial in terms of emotional health, for either party. A happier solution all round is to try to repair the cracks in one’s marriage rather than raid the emotions of a part time lover.
