I think it's because he doesn't have to pay any bills. He essentially lives there rent and utility free, and Dan doesn't know that, he just gives his money to Lester, and Lester uses that same money to do things with Sarah.What kills in Toxic Attraction is that the couple Dan and Sarah have small children, in other stories there is no such factor, children. The age of the couple. Regarding women, they always try to change for the better. Before I got married, I was a night owl, I went to fights. Today I go to church, I dress more socially, I keep my hair cut military. Dan (he was handsome, photogenic, has a good physique, must have fought when he was young, had a good job and good sex), Lester (has sex "bad luck for Dan, having a wife who can handle such size and doesn't hurt the uterus", money much more than Dan has ever had in his entire life, (Dan must never have earned 250 thousand in a single job, or managed to add that amount in 12 months) Sarah's appearance can change, the dirt with their money hire a cleaning company twice a week. I don't understand why Lester, with so much money, stays in a humble apartment.
The sad thing is that cheating and morality busting sexual lives have broken apart more than one marriage with small children and where psychologists used to say it was healthier for the children to find a way to stay together but now say its better to be honest and split but still be there for the children, no matter what, emphasizing to them that the split is not their fault.What kills in Toxic Attraction is that the couple Dan and Sarah have small children, in other stories there is no such factor, children.

Shit that's heavy broThe sad thing is that cheating and morality busting sexual lives have broken apart more than one marriage with small children and where psychologists used to say it was healthier for the children to find a way to stay together but now say its better to be honest and split but still be there for the children, no matter what, emphasizing to them that the split is not their fault.
Even in the seventies my uncle was married to two women with divorces taking place with 5 years each time. Children were involved and when I was young, I didn't understand but now I know he was cucked by both women while he was high as a kite most of the time.
I just go by the mantra that people, all over the world, suck.

I don't know it might but I think ch 34 kinda felt very close to what first 8 chapters.I keep saying this..I re.read from 31 to 34..I still can't get over the writing sty.e difference. Story is completely off the rails.Im lost with TA., on to something new. Somewhere
Mostly financial, I realize, but I was just pointing out that it isn't just a tool for a writer in a fictional setting, there is some basis in fact for relationships with small children ending.There are . In "Ascending Lauren" You have children. In fact many stories have children as props
To showcase corruption. Of the wives
I say taking an erotic story as related to anything with morality is foolishness.
It's not real. Irl wife don't do what Sarah does regardless of how good the sex is
The marriages breaking is mostly due to some other reasons.
Dan's marriage broke down during the financial crisis. Financial difficulties and Sarah have already left Dan. Chapter 20 proves Lester's conquest. I hope Dan's computer, which is very modern, gets something from Lester's network. It's a top-notch PC; the Sentinel staff also gave it to Dan, but it would be complicated if it contained information beyond what Dan works on. (It would be very amateurish of the company to give a computer, with the possibility of the entire company being hacked or all the projects being taken over by a freelancer.) Am I the only one waiting for sex between Dan and the Sentinel girl? It would be nice for the employee to say that Dan is her work husband. They could work together for a few hours and everything would be fine.There are . In "Ascending Lauren" You have children. In fact many stories have children as props

Exactly in fact Lester being rich and Dan being poor is what would have broken rhe marriageMostly financial, I realize, but I was just pointing out that it isn't just a tool for a writer in a fictional setting, there is some basis in fact for relationships with small children ending.
In Lauren Ascendant, we have a significant age difference between the couple. The husband is 61 and Lauren is 48 and has erectile dysfunction. As a man, I don't understand why they go through so much humiliation. Could it be emotional dependence? A woman accepts her husband's infidelity (for family, financial dependence, when the man is very manipulative and emotionally dependent), but men find it difficult to accept this. Here in Brazil, this open marriage business isn't as common as in the US; most infidelities lead to the wife's murder.There are . In "Ascending Lauren" You have children.

I sympathize with your argument because it hits the nail on the head.
In my opinion, addressing the “moral aspect” in erotic and sex stories is irrational and immoral, but the story should still be comprehensible, clear, and realistic...
I feel that these aspects in particular have been lost.
The criticism expressed by numerous readers here (at least, this is my main concern!) is more about the humiliation and trampling of the husband, betrayal, and disgusting manipulation, whereby the manipulator is portrayed as an untouchable hero, superman and genius, whose oversized manhood acts like a magic wand and stands at attention 24/7, so that he can make all the women in the universe happy and wrap them around his finger.
Sharing his wife (only with her free will!), giving her a certain amount of freedom, and experiencing erotic moments with another person together... was (and should remain so, with fewer ups and downs, disagreements, and minor arguments that do not cause difficulties in the marriage and turn the husband into a puppet and a doormat) the starting point and formed the center of Dan's fantasy.
But what the author DS has done is no longer acceptable (even in fantasies). And at the same time, he has turned Sarah into a woman with a worst character who mindles acts, depraved and disrespectful is.
This development is hard for me to stomach and it's no longer fun to read the story as it was at the beginning...
1. The way I see it, the moment you take that monumental decision to share your wife, you should know you stand the risk of humiliation, possibly losing her completely or other complications. This is why I have little or no sympathy for DanI sympathize with your argument because it hits the nail on the head.

My harshest take is bcuz such stories touch a chord in men they deny. A reality that males are afraid to admit bcuz no man wants to appear powerless.In Lauren Ascendant, we have a significant age difference between the couple.

This is the age of "cuckolds ". Males have never been more emasculated than we are now. From kanye to Affleck. They have been cuckolded. Not to talk about the average males
We work desk jobs for faceless ceos who talk about replacing us with Ai. We partake in passive aggressive humiliation rituals . We live in safteyst environments dominated by women (bcuz women actually do better desk jobs than males. They are more concentrated and deliver far more than us so they end up doing better on average)
This is not hating against women. This is just speaking the truth that they do better than men in times of peace.
Cuckold stories touch this feelings of powerlessness.
Here males have no power. They have been emasculated by forces beyond their control (the bull) and they have no idea how to cope
Parallels can be drawn with real life
I might be totally wrong here with this take but i think there's a reason hotwife media is so popular now.
