Les Moments de Paris: A Community for Extra-Marital Affairs


Paris 2013, originally uploaded by loscuadernosdejulia.


It may be surprising that we start this New Year with a photo of an advert on the Parisian underground promoting “the first site for extra-marital encounters conceived by women”. After all, this has always been an almost (or entirely?) child-friendly blog. However, once in a while you do come across something that seems important enough to share. If you have a look at Gleeden.com, its current membership count amounts to nearly 2mln, including both women and men. The international outreach allows to dream up and make an encounter a reality in any part of the world, be that the remote Argentina or the nearest street. In fact, as a news report in their Blog section states, female users “have a good taste”… for cars: they prefer German makes, Mercedes class M, Audi Q7, and BMW X6.

It sounds sinister (we’re talking infidelity, after all!) until you start reading testimonials. While some admit that they are naturally curious or have not had enough fun in their younger years, others frequent the site to make gay encounters in full confidence or to inject a bit of joy into an otherwise unhappy marrried life.

Apparently, there have been attempts to break the site’s confidentiality, so there is advice on spotting an intruder. While I don’t particularly denounce the initiative (to each their own, I suppose), I wouldn’t accept it for myself.
