In the garden of romance grow many fruit, but no fruit is more tempting, desirable, mouthwatering, sensually satiating and coveted than the married man, who has already been picked and now rests in another woman's fruit basket. Merely knowing that he is strictly prohibited, taken and illicit makes the fruit-picking adulteress want to devour him.

For the adulteress, the taste of married man's kiss is an invisible magnet that incites her to surrender her closely guarded scruples and sexuality to such a desirable object.

She may be a Self-Centered Seductress. No one is more hell bent on satisfying and silencing her insatiable ego and deeply physical desires than this woman. The married man is the object of her desire simply because he is there and she has strong desire. In her eyes, if another woman finds him appealing and has gone through the trouble of acquiring him, he must thus be worth the challenge of attaining.
