    Cheating Wives Have Affairs for Different Reasons


    “Men and women cheat for different reasons,” says infidelity expert Ruth Houston, who was recently quoted in a New York Times article on female infidelity.
    (PRWEB) -- In a recent New York times article, Ruth Houston, infidelity expert and author of “Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs”, pointed out that married men and women each have different reasons for cheating on their spouses and that most cases of female infidelity appear to be preventable.
    The article, High Infidelity by Marcelle Fischler, explored the rising trend in female infidelity, and included comments from a number of cheating wives as well as interviews with marriage counselors, infidelity experts, private investigators, divorce lawyers and other professionals in the field.
    The Top Reasons Men and Women Cheat
    ''The No.1, 2 and 3 reasons for men relate to sex,'' Ms. Houston said. ''A woman cheats for the most part as a last resort. She has tried everything, her complaints have fallen on deaf ears and she feels she has no other alternative.''
    Ms Houston, whose ongoing infidelity research spans 10 years and encompasses both male and female infidelity, lists the most popular reasons cheating husbands and cheating wives give for engaging in extramarital affairs.
    Why Men Cheat
    The most frequently cited reasons for infidelity among men include
    more sex (the desire for a more active sex life)
    sexual variety (a desire for different kinds of sex)
    opportunistic sex (taking advantage of an opportunity to have sex without the fear of getting caught)
    to satisfy sexual curiosity (about a specific female)
    a feeling of entitlement (the belief that it's a man's prerogative to cheat)
    Why Women Cheat
    The reasons most frequently cited for female infidelity include
    a desire for emotional closeness and intimacy (someone caring to confide in and bond with on an emotional level)
    a desire for attention (wanting be the center of a man's attention again)
    to reaffirm her desirability (To feel validated as a woman)
    to re-experience feelings of romance
    a desire to feel “special”
    Women are Cheating for Emotional, Not Sexual Reasons
    “The bottom line regarding infidelity” says Ms Houston, “is that men are cheating on their wives primarily for sexual reasons, while women are cheating on their husbands primarily for emotional reasons.”
    There are numerous studies on infidelity that support these findings. In one study, 75% to 80% of the men who admitted to having extramarital affairs said that sex was the primary reason. Only 20% of the woman who were having extramarital affairs said they did so for purely sexual reasons.
    Most Female Infidelity May be Preventable
    “What I find most interesting about my research, as well as other studies on female infidelity, is that the majority of the reasons cheating wives give for infidelity are things that could be easily remedied by an attentive husband who's willing to make the effort.” says Ms Houston, whose website http://www.InfidelityAdvice.com , provides practical advice for victims of infidelity. “This leads me to conclude that most cases of female infidelity are probably preventable.”

    You will notice how women are given a free pass and the blame is shifted back to men. When men cheat though, it is pure selfsihness.

    Let me guess, men cheat because men are bad and women cheat because men are bad?

    Looky looky, a couple of lines below:

    'A woman cheats for the most part as a last resort. She has tried everything, her complaints have fallen on deaf ears and she feels she has no other alternative.''
    Ah yes, there we have it. I don't even have to read the rest.

    You should read the rest though, understanding the feminist mind is a tool for defeating them. Besides, you know that your breakfast tasted bad and needs to be puked up so go ahead and read the rest.

    Re: Cheating Wives Have Affairs for Different Reasons

    I agree with the reasons as mentioned on the whole.. But, I draw the line at the attitude that female infidelity could be prevented if only men where more attentive etc..

    FFS, just how much attention do these whores want?

    If it means 24/7 pandering. which effectively it does, then it aint worth having the ho in your life anyway!

    Female greed, as ever, is their reason for everything, they forever want as much as they can get of everything, including attention.. And then some more!

    Re: Cheating Wives Have Affairs for Different Reasons

    Note how cleverly the article plays on Western sexual mores to paint men's needs as inferior to women's, hence women's infidelity is justified, while men's infidelity is based on shameless carnal desires.

    The bottom line is this: Men crave physical intimacy while women crave emotional intimacy. Neither is inherently good or bad, since they both serve to enhance perpetuation of the species. A man's needs drive him to pursue a successful reproductive strategy via maximization of intercourse, while a woman's needs drive her to pursue a strategy aimed at security and protection, also a valid reproductive strategy. Both are suited to our respective physiologies.

    But feminists who seek to elevate women's needs at men's expense use the sexual conservatism embedded in our cultural background to declare men's needs at best inconsequential, and at worst immoral. Yet any objective analysis would lead one to the observation that both needs serve humanity, and they give each sex something with which to bargain in the mating game.

    It seems to me that men need to stop being intimidated every time their sexual needs are disparaged. After all, we're both doing precisely what nature intended.

    Bottom line is, people cheat because they're selfish. What more do you need?

    Man gives emotional security, woman gives sex. I view it as a trade-off. The differences between male and female are complementary...two halves of a whole. I wonder how many people don't realize this.

    The bottom line is that this whole article promotes the same old misandrist feminists psychobabble crap.

    Females are sex driven animals and always have been. Since the beginning of feminism they have been giving us this lying crap, but anyone with any sense doesn't believe it.

    Their minds are closed, they won't consider any other possibility than that their precious feminist theories are correct.

    What's to learn seriously? They resent us so they don't have to resent themselves.

    Did it occur to them that men seek emotional intimacy through intercourse? Of course not! Men are eeeevil

    You know what, my husband and I have had this discussion quite a bit.

    He says that sex is how he bonds with me, and I explain to him that I bond emotionally. It's give and take (and it shouldn't be he gives, she takes).

    Men and women need to communicate to each other, discover each other's needs, and understand that men and women think differently. Forget the feminist nonsense that "the genders are interchangeable."

    Alexandra,

    You are bringing back up some good articles. And you are being open about it. That's cool.

    On topic. I agree with the research.

    "Men love to have sex and women have sex to love". This has been passed down to us from the natural way of life.

    And we can't expect that everyone has so easily taken to social engineering. Or maybe they have but not everyone is 100% comfortable with it.

    Research is a big thing that feminism/socialism has brought forward and studying female issues has been the biggest money resource giver, so you can imagine we have heaps and heaps of research around females.

    Now that both men and women research has become more popular we are receiving research that compares.

    In the next decade (it takes 3 years approx for research to come out) we will be seeing a huge amount of research on men.

    I don't read this as "man bad and woman good". It is what it is.

    And I expect newer research on women who are younger and masculine to show the same traits as men. The lesbians have a male (top) and female (bottom) in their relationships too. Much research is coming out on this also.

    It is all there for anyone who wants to use it. (if anyone is interested)

    Man gives emotional security, woman gives sex.
    Emotional security? Yes. And yet men are condemned by women for not understanding emotion! Astonishing isn't it. Men, the givers of what women want. And does he get emotional security back? Not a chance. He gets an emotional rollercoaster and he is never allowed to know where he is for long. Emotional security for him would be a fine thing.

    As for 'women gives sex', I beg to differ. He gives sex. He gives of himself. It is he that does the 'arousing'. It is he who does the persuading - and boy, does she need a lot of persuading sometimes. It is he who gives part of his corporeal being to her.

    For generations (during the male oppression period we all hear about) women were advised by other women to just lie back and think of British West Hartlepools. No 'giving' involved. Women don't 'give' sex; they give in. That's the impression. That's what they 'give'. An impression. Rarely the real thing.

    Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum
    Love the Sinner but not the Sin.
    (St. Augustine)

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
    against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “
    (and within ourselves)
    (Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

    A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.

    offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.

    Exactly, thank you, Knight-errant.

    Dr. Laura covers this quite extensively in her book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". She claims that sex is the way men express their love for their partners. Following that train of thought, refusing sex is a rejection on a much greater scale than women like to imagine. If sex is an expression of love, then it only stands to reason that the rejection of sex is tantamount to a rejection of that expression of love.

    Sex between two people who love each other is the ultimate expression of love and bonding. Women neglect their sex lives and wonder why their marriages are in trouble.
    "Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love; every brave suffering for the right; every surrender of self to something higher than self; every loyalty to an ideal; every unselfish devotion to principle; every helpfulness to humanity; every act of self-control; every fine courage of the soul, undefeated by pretense or policy, but by being, doing, and living of good for the very good’s sake—that is spirituality." -David O. McKay

    Nice one Kim. That brings it all together. You must have a very loving relationship with your husband.

    Between the wise words from Percy and the wise words from you - many can learn.

    Hmmm, I wonder how a dating site would handle the both of you. Could be interesting.

    Yes, I have heard about this.

    And then I heard how one woman broke the norm and started teaching women about sex on TV. What a break through that was for women. They now learnt how to enjoy sex and not just lay there as if it was a chore.

    What happened next? Oh, you know.

    The problem appears to me to be that when women enjoy sex they're mating with the jerks and downright scumbags. I'd guess this isn't good for civilisation.

    Now that's pretty extreme but I would like to get reactions. I don't necessarily think that's absolutely true but it seems like a possibility.
