    Abstract
    This paper compares Chinese and Western extra-marital affairs reported in print. All the reports are based on real affairs. The Chinese data come from affairs being reported in newspapers in Taiwan (1987-1994). The Western data comes from reports in Leigh Cato' book "Her Version" (1995). For each data set, a theoretical typology of four types of affairs in terms of key ‘players’, plots, and outcomes is isolated. The comparison and contrast between the two cultural contexts has generated cross-cultural insights regarding (1) the meanings of romantic love and sexual ethics; (2) the meanings of infidelity; and (3) the constructions of manhood/womanhood and gender politics in marital/extra-marital relations.
