4There is an exponential rise in female infidelity....

....according to bestselling gender expert Susan Shapiro Barash in her revealing updated investigation, A PASSION FOR MORE: AFFAIRS THAT MAKE OR BREAK US.

Her book is an intimate and trailblazing look at the reasons women in monogamous relationships and marriages take a lover and how they balance the emotional and physical aspects of these trysts. Women today are exploring their needs with a striking absence of guilt.

She astutely breaks down and analyzes: The four types of affairs:

Empowering Affairs: Women have more opportunities today; an affair is an option. Sex-Driven Affairs: The major component of the affair is the sex. Love Affairs: These affairs happen when women least expect them. Self-Esteem Affairs: A lover makes the woman feel special and alive.

She reveals:

*Why a lover helps a woman to remain in an unhappy marriage or relationship.

*How women renegotiate a marriage / monogamous relationship after the affair.

*How an affair can improve one's marriage/monogamous relationship.

*How an affair is often the catalyst to leave a marriage/longstanding relationship.
