Her husband’s reputed dalliances

Hi, Since that it's about Clinton I wonder if "Dalliances" has other meaning than a "Flirt"?

One of the meaning that the diconary shows me is "Flirtation" I know what is Flirt ...

" ... that Hillary would skate to the Democratic nomination—and then be destroyed in the general election
when Republicans peddled the details of her husband’s reputed dalliances to the press.

Dalliance = amorous play, flirtation. Strictly, that is the definition, but in Clinton's case, the word is probably used euphemistically.
