Jensen went to many high profile parties with this woman. I don't see where he's trying to even hide it. Even the kiss was made out in public, not like a hotel room.

Also, an affair is only blackmail material in a society of prudes. I recall the story about a president who was confronted with condemning photos of his activities by CIA agents, and he pretty much encouraged the agents to publish the photos.

You don’t have to be a prude to think cheating on a spouse is condemnable.

In general, it also doesn’t really matter what society thinks. You can just threaten to reveal the affair to the spouse. And even in the case the spouse doesn’t really care it’s fodder they can potentially use in a divorce to get a better deal.

For better or worse, this is the world we live in.

That's pretty wild. A society that doesn't value faithfulness to a spouse or looks the other way at sleeping with a subordinate is pretty sick imo.

Sukarno. "Project Happy Days", lol.

He (Sukarno) thought it was hilarious and sent copies to his friends.

CIA was pissed w/ him because he killed a lot of Communists but then started leaning to China and beefing with Malaysia, which irritated the British

Apparently the KGB tried to honeypot him - and they were flabbergasted when he asked for copies of the photos. Apparently photos of him with multiple Russian women would bolster his machismo image back home?

Although if you read his Wikipedia page, he had many, many wives, some concurrently, and the youngest was 19...so it's probably true, lol.

Then you read about a certain EV company CEO and his escapades and repopulating the planet, and you don't know what to think.

Or Charlie Sheen...

I guess politicians, celebrities and CEOs are another world from us mere mortals.....

No? All it requires is for Jensen to want to remain with his wife, and for his wife to be willing to divorce him if she finds out he has an affair. Very little involvement from society in that one.
