I don't think I care about context or affair- and I hope the public gets to that point too.

The "context" of the affair is of course important! Good grief! Most affairs between older, powerful males and younger women, such as the ever-present interns in political situations, are a reflection of the man's power over the younger woman, and its improper use to obtain sexual favors. Typically, the male has a high position, can exert his influence in her favor, and promises to do so. Monica's Revlon job comes to mind. In these May/December sleazoramas, it's not about a man feeling an attraction because he is not "understood" at home, and the rest of that claptrap, it's about a man using his power and position to obtain sex. Period. Full stop. It's often about power and its exercise. I know, I defend lawsuits dealing with that kind of stuff. See it all the time.
