A model who is juggling affairs with three married men justified her life of open relationships today, insisting she’s not a ‘marriage wrecker’. Sam Taylor claims to finds monogamy ‘boring’.
The 44-year-old, from Brentwood, Essex, has a string of lovers and said: “I tried monogamy and I have had long and happy relationships where we have both remained faithful. But in the end it always ended in disappointment because sex with the same person becomes boring over time. At the end of my last relationship, I suggested to my partner that we were both honest with each other and saw other people discreetly when we wanted some fun. So we embarked on an open relationship. Soon we were meeting so many new people, we decided to go our separate ways because it was more exciting dating casually without the drudgery of a regular relationship.”
She added: “It seems crazy that society dictates that we should find a life partner in our 20s or 30s and only have sex with them for the rest of our lives – more than 50 years in most people’s cases. Whoever thought that was a good idea? Sex is like food – no matter how good it is, it gets very boring if you eat the same meal every night. Why not spice things up and try different things? That way, life is a lot more interesting. Life’s too short to stick with just one person.”Sam said: “I wasn’t looking for another serious, monogamous relationship – I just wanted a bit of excitement and to meet a regular buddy who wanted sex and fun without the hassle of becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. Soon after seeing the banker, Sam met another lover – and juggled both at the same time.
She said: “I was having a great time with the banker who is a multi-millionaire and used to fly me all over Europe for mini-breaks which he disguised as business trips. He already had two other women on the go, a secretary and a personal trainer he had also met on the site and he suggested I do the same.” A few weeks later, she met a 39-year-old insurance executive, “who was stuck in a sexless marriage and was looking for a bit of excitement”. She said his wife was “completely preoccupied” with bringing up their teenage children and “had little time for him”.
“They had married young and she was his first serious girlfriend,” she said. “He was keen to see what it was like to have sex with someone else and wanted to meet a woman who would not upset things at home. I began seeing him at the same time as the banker and things spiralled from there. Soon I was getting other requests for dates and I met an IT manager who worked in London – hundreds of miles from his wife and family. He had an arrangement with his wife that he could see other people while he was in London just as long as nothing happened when he was back at home. He was looking for a bit of release while he was living on his own and I fitted the bill perfectly.” Sam insists that she doesn’t ‘wreck’ marriages and that she only dates men who either have the permission of their wives or have no intention of ever leaving their wives.
She said: “I am not looking for a husband – I just want a bit of fun with a like-minded person. My idea of a good night is not a fumble in the cinema followed by chicken and chips at Nando’s. I want to see the world with exciting, sophisticated men. We travel together to some of the best hotels in the world and I get spoilt rotten – we eat in the finest restaurants and shop in the most exclusive boutiques. I end up having the time of my life and get a few new pieces for my wardrobe or a wonderful new item of jewellery. I am just glad that Wanderlust is reflecting what is really happening in lots of people’s relationships. An affair can be good for a marriage and give unhappy spouses the release they are looking for. Open relationships work very successfully for lots of couples.”
