When you are already married, an affair is extramarital.

I don't think location has any bearing on extramarital affairs directly except maybe it offers more selection however, if there is going to be an extramarital affair or the want of it by someone they will find someone no matter where they are located.

Excluding any intimate encounters, I think the average length of an extramarital affair is about five years. maybe longer.
