Chuang Hui-chiou believes that because traditional Chinese precepts about faithfulness teach that a husband is "the sole man in his wife's life," many women believe that sex means sex with their husbands, and they can't even conceive of having an affair. They will even go to the extreme of denying their need for sex.
莊慧秋認為，由於中國傳統觀念帶給女人「丈夫是生命中唯一男人」的忠貞心理，因此對許多女人來說，性與丈夫是一體的，根本不曾想過發展婚外情慾對象，甚或不認為自己有性的需求。
