Posted on December 14, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I always thought mistresses were for old school Italian and other Patriarchal family structures, where the man is king and the wife is the mother of his kids and the mistress who is a long term woman he fucks on the side and the wife knows about is who he does all the dirty shit with.
