Mistress - define

[hippyhoppy]

I'm a mousey blonde, 5 5, two kids .. I always thought a mistress would be an amazonian bonde with a 'champers for lunch' life style..

Butch, LOL at your comment on 'missionary position'!!

[Sqad]

JJ the term "mistress" could be class defined.

The upper and middle class call her "mistress"...the working class call the " bit of spare. bit on the side"

Don´t you think?

[ummmm]

And the wife calls her a wh0re with no morals...

[Sqad]

ummmm....whatever.

[joggerjayne]

Do you know, sqad ... you may have a point there.

Perhaps it's because the word "mistress" is also used in respectable "establishment" contexts ...

... Headmistress, Gym Mistress, etc.

... whereas the other expressions just suggest a free, casual shag.

[ummmm]

It's true though Sqad...she has to prepare herself for the fallout.

[Sqad]

JJ LOL

Can't help it but the word 'mistress' sounds so outdated. It just makes me think of relationships amongst the gentry back in the times when the men had mistresses and it was accepted as normal amongst their wives. The wives were there to be housekeepers, childbearers and social hostesses and had to look the part and that is all they actually wanted. They married for prestige, money and security.

Times have changed for most of us!!!

[Sqad]

Butch....by goodness, you have made a good point there.......whow!!

[joggerjayne]

Butch ...

That was a dark and unpleasant chapter in my life.

I could have coped with my father running away, or having a mistress, or being a morris dancer ...

But ... renting a telly ... the SHAME of it.

Happily, shortly afterwards, I was "sent away" to school, and didn't have to live with the embarrassment of a rented telly.

LOL, LOL

=0)

Having stayed clear of this one upto now......


Hippy... you are worth more than being a mistress... you deserve a lot more!

[hippyhoppy]

,Well, as JJ and Salla said, I was a bit of an idiot to pop this on here... I would never be a 'bunny boiler' as I like him too much..

[piggynose]

doesn´t the sex usually dry up too quickly in many marriages? so leaving the wife or husband feeling cold, unloved, undesirable. hence the need for a bit on the side. I beleive its preety big in Spain according to what i´ve heard.

I sense you're not fully comfortable with being a mistress are you hippyhoppy? As far as what defines a mistress, I dont have an answer. They may serve a purpose, may be the lowest of the low, may be considered homewreckers but theyre still human beings. I wish you luck in your life but guess someones going to get hurt and its unlikely to be your lover.
