TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A Taipei County woman now known as "Beibei, the Lusty Housewife," posted revealing photographs of herself on a blog site titled "The Lusty World of a 28-Year-Old Housewife" last month, along with alleged stories of her extramarital adventures, so far attracting over 340,000 "hits," or views.

In an interview with Taiwan media, Beibei was quoted as stating that "adultery is fun, stimulating and makes me feel just the same way as any man committing the same act."

The blog recounts Beibei's experiences of inviting men she met over the Internet to go out while her husband was out at work, caressing, kissing and having intercourse in the stairway leading up to her apartment.

One story tells of her husband inviting a co-worker over to their apartment. When the husband left to buy food and pick up their son, the co-worker began to make advances towards Beibei in the kitchen, which were interrupted by the returning husband and their four-year-old child. When her husband asked them what they were doing, Beibei replied that she was showing his friend around their home.

Due to being "someone's wife," Beibei has captivated the short attention span of the Taiwanese media, making the first page of yesterday's edition of "The Apple Daily," a Hong Kong-based newspaper.

According to Apple Daily, Beibei closed her blog after agreeing to an interview with the daily, while questioning "How can you expect someone to be satisfied if they have to have sex with the same person for the rest of your life?"

After being married five years, Beibei sees her sexual life as nothing to complain about, but the mother still finds her life lacks the stimulation achieved through committing adultery, since it is associated with such heavy taboos.

According to the interview, every one of Beibei's extra-marital experiences with 30 different partners was documented on the blog site, in the hope that she can look back in her old age at a time that was exciting and full of good memories.

Her previous partners include company managers, co-workers, people met over the Internet, and also friends of her husband. According to reporter Wang Chao-bin, Beibei suddenly asked him, "You're so curious about me, how about we have sex while you interview me? I've never slept with a journalist before." Wang alleges to have tried to change the subject while spending the rest of the interview feeling embarrassed.

The attention brought by the story toward society's view of adulterous women as opposed to adulterous men has incited new debate over whether it is more unacceptable if a woman commits adultery than if it is instigated by a male.

Virtual Affairs: Real Life Mess?

CYBER WORLD RELATIONSHIPS

CHATROOMS AND INFIDELITY: In her year long study of online infidelity at the University of Florida, Beatriz Avila Mileham recruited 76 men and 10 women who regularly visit chat rooms tailored to married people looking for a tryst. Most of the subjects told Mileham that initial online flirtation doesn’t count as cheating: 80 percent said they felt like they were just “talking with a computer.” However, online interactions can lead to real world relationships. Thirty percent said they had a face-to-face meeting with someone they met online. Twenty-four of those 26 people ended up having an affair.

FLIRTING VIA THE INTERNET: IS IT CHEATING? According to MSNBC, Women tend to view online flirtation as a form of cheating more than men. Seventy-three percent of women believe sending a sexually flirtatious e-mail to a co-worker is cheating while only 53 percent of men do. The cheating meter increases slightly for online talk or “webcamming:” 77 percent of women feel it’s cheating while 57 percent of men do.

SECOND LIFE: A GROWING COMMUNITY: In 2001, San Francisco software developer Philip Rosendale launched Second Life, a 3-D virtual world currently inhabited by 8 million users from around the world. Users live in this virtual world through avatars, graphical versions of themselves. Millions of real U.S. dollars are invested in this cyber community each month, with money being spent on clothing, homes, cars, and other luxuries. A recent Dutch study found Second Lifers are dedicating a significant chunk of their time to this virtual world: 57 percent spend more than 18 hours a week in their Second Life while 33 percent spend more than 30 hours a week. According to Gartner Research, by 2011, four of every five people who use the internet will participate in Second Life or some other virtual community.

Here's my favorite part:

SEX IN SECOND LIFE: The people who live in this online universe can form relationships and even have sex with each other. While avatars do not come complete with genitalia, they can be bought. Beds, other furniture, and even sadomasochistic devises can also be purchased along with software to animate a sexual encounter.
