there you go. it clarifies the matter. illicit affair = having carnal intercourse.
before that happened, both parties are engaged on exchanging on sweet words. it's still not considered an illicit affair since no intercourse yet. can we consider it infidelity stage? it make sense. thanks for clarification carbrill.
