Marriage and infidelity go together like glove and hand so they say. For without the marriage (or at least the committment to a relationship) one cannot in fact breach the fidelity. The numbers might surprise though:

Recent studies reveal that 45-55% of married women and 50-60% of married men engage in extramarital sex at some time or another during their relationship. Do these infidelity statistics seem a bit startling? What these findings suggest is that approximately one half of all married men and women do seek intimacy outside of their committed relationships. But what does this really mean and why are the number of men and women having extramarital affairs so high?

This may come as a complete surprise, but most extramarital affairs are not about sex. What then,is the main factor that causes infidelity? One should pay attention to the reason most people find intimacy with someone outside of their marriage is because of their emotional needs are not being met. Yes, it is true in most cases of infidelity and about wanting to feel emotionally connected to someone.

Well, OK, I’m not sure I believe that in fact. Neither the numbers nor the reason. The only reason I linked to it was that I spotted this, the name of the press agency.

Prudent Press Agency

There’s still that teenage boy in me that sniggers about someone calling themselves “prudent” and then talking about people screwing around.

How nice to know that I’m still fully in touch with my inner child, eh?
