A wealthy widow who claims to have had illicit affairs with more than 100 married men in just ten years claims cheating can be good for marriage adding: 'I'm the perfect solution.'

Financial consultant Gweneth Lee, 47, says half of the wives of the men she dates know about their affairs but turn a blind eye because they have gone off sex and want their husbands to be happy.

The ex-model, of Chelsea, West London, says she feels no guilt over her relationships because she says many of the couples would split up if the men didn't have her an outlet, and the heartache of divorce would be far worse for their families.

She said: 'I know a lot of people will condemn what I do but I really don't have any regrets because I honestly believe that I help to keep a lot of couples together. So many marriages in the UK are in crisis, particular couples in middle age with children.

'They have been together for ten or 15 years and they have very busy and stressful lives combining careers with the care of their kids.

'For many women in particular sex just shuts down and disappears from their weekly routine.

'That is fine for the women who find fulfilment through their friends and their children.

'But that leaves a lot of men craving sex and excitement - they don't want to leave their wives but they do want a release from all that pent up frustration.

GWENETH'S ROLL CALL OF LOVERS Lovers she has seen in the last two years include: Affair number 1 - the pharmaceutical tycoon Gweneth said: 'He is his 50s and has been happily married for the last 20 years. His wife has no interest in sex. She is aware that he has affairs but she doesn't want to know the details. She turns a blind eye to his absences. 'His big thing is shopping. Whenever he is in London our first trip is always to Agent Provocateur to buy the very finest lingerie. We will then go back to his hotel and to try it all out, feasting on wonderful champagne, caviar, oysters and fresh strawberries. 'Other times he loves to go to dinner to the finest Michelin-starred restaurants before going back to his hotel for more sex. 'I am his little indulgence. He enjoys lavishing me with wonderful things. I am one of several women he sees from IllicitEncounters.com.' Gweneth describes herself as the 'little indulgence' of one of the men she's involved with Affair number 2 - the hedge fund manager Gweneth said: 'He is fabulously wealthy, as I would expect from a very successful City high-flier. 'Again he is happily married. The sex died in his marriage after they had a child who is handicapped. All his wife's energies went into caring for their child and that left little room for sex. 'He is devoted to his wife and their child but just needs a little release every now and again. 'He is another who enjoys the high life - the very best restaurants and hotels. We have a lot of fun and a lot of sex.' Affair number 3 - the high-flying surgeon Gweneth said: 'He travels all over the world treating patients and attending conferences and I am his little minx in London. He has a kinky side which he doesn't like to explore with his wife, and that is where I come in. He is a lovely, courteous man with the most impeccable manners, but he is a devil in the bedroom.' Affair number 4 - the financier whose marriage Gweneth claims she saved Gweneth said: 'This really was the classic situation where the affair did save the marriage and keep his family together. My lover had a huge family and his wife was exhausted looking after all these kids. When he came home from his job in the City, she had no interest in sex. 'He would stay in town with me some evenings and we would meet for dinner and sex. His job was an easy cover story. 'His wife was incredibly jealous and if he had told her the truth about what was going on she would have divorced him, causing terrible damage to the children. 'He was able to let off steam and keep the family together. 'Perhaps his wife had an inkling of what was going on because one night he came home and she was waiting for him with a bottle of champagne, wearing the most tantalising lingerie. She had decided it was time to put the spark back in their marriage. 'With his marriage repaired, he ended our affair and came off IllicitEncounters.com.'

'I am the perfect solution for them. We can go out and have fun but they know with absolute certainty that I am not going to turn up on their doorstep and rat on them to their wives or demand that they divorce.

'I just want to have some fun and some great sex - which is all the men want from me, too.

'Sleeping with someone new can be good for a marriage. It takes the pressure off many wives whose libidos have died and keeps the man happy. Clearly the reverse can be true, too, when the man goes off sex. Lots of women are having affair while their husbands stay faithful.'
