When You Turn Out To Be A Cheat by stevnwigw1: 6:09am On Jul 11, 2015 |
THE general belief is that most of those who
cheat do so because they’re not getting what
they want from their partner at home. A new
research recently published in the archives of
Sexual Behaviour has, however, punched holes
into this belief.
The study found that men who are easily sexually
aroused are more likely to cheat on their partners
and that both men and women with sexual
performance issue were also prone to infidelity.
“For men who are easily aroused, it’s not
surprising being unfaithful would be tempting but
the latter sounds counter- intuitive, says
Professor Robin Milhansen, one of the authors of
the study and a sexuality researcher at the
University of Guelph in Canada. “Those who have
any number of sexual concerns are more likely to
be unfaithful. What we’ve interpreted from this is
that people with problems in the bedroom, where
their issues can become a self-fulfilling prophecy
are more likely to look outside their relationship.
With a new partner, they can start a clean slate
and don’t have the history of these sexual
problems. They also don’t have to see their new
partner again if problems do arise.”
Continues the report: “People with sexual
performance concerns often have issues with
arousal, so they seek out situations that are
highly arousing. Being with a new partner is risky
and exciting and might help someone increase
their arousal enough to avoid sexual problems. In
the study, almost a quarter of men (23.2 per
cent) and 19.2 per cent of women admitted they
had cheated during their current relationship.
“There was a huge gender difference in the
results,” says Milhausen. “We did find that men
who were happy in their relationship and satisfied
in the bedroom were just as likely to cheat as
those who weren’t. It wasn’t the same for
women. Women who perceived their relationships
to be less happy and not sexually compatible
were almost three times more likely to cheat.”
In other words, if things are not going right in the
bedroom, does that give us a right to be
unfaithful? Kenneth, a successful engineer,
married for 15 years and a father of four thinks
so. In the last five years he’s had two or three
lovers. “In every area of my marriage I’m satisfied
except in the bedroom”, he defends himself. “My
wife and I are just not compatible and there’s no
chemistry any more. It’s not just passion I lack
at home. I don’t have that much physical
intimacy either. There’s also no romance, and
that has affected our sexual relationship. With my
current lover, there’s sex and emotional sharing.
“My conscience is clear in spite of the fact that
I’m cheating on my wife. I have a deep love and
respect for my family but I need someone else,
with whom I can have a connection. Like the
saying goes, body no be wood!”
Rosie Freeman-Jones is a spokesperson for one
of the numerous dating sites on the web for
married people. According to her: “If someone is
going to have an affair, they will. A website like
ours might inspire someone to go online and have
a look around but it’s not the same as jumping
into bed with someone. It’s actually more difficult
to have an affair online as the process is a lot
longer than just meeting someone in a bar. It
means you get a lot of people dropping out who
aren’t really serious about it.
“According to her, her research suggests “that, for
me at least, cheating comes down to personality
and it makes no difference how happy one is in a
relationship”. However, she has some suggestions
for keeping people on the road to fidelity.
“I encourage people who are highly aroused and
easily turned on by risky sexual behaviour to
bring this into their dyadic relationship. A lot of
men say: Oh! I could never do that, with my wife’,
but we say. ‘Do it’, it’s a lot better than risking
your family unit. Also, if you have sexual
performance concerns, get them checked out. You
don’t need to cheat to boost your arousal. Lastly,
men should be extra attentive to the fact women
are much more likely to cheat if they feel
unsatisfied in their relationship.
So what kind of a cheat are you?
Psychologist and sex relationship expert Donna
Dawson says people cheat for different reasons.
The opportunist: This has nothing to do with their
relationship and just means they’re in the right
place at the right time and can get away with it.
They might be curious and want to experience
something new.
Infatuation Junkie: Men feel this more strongly as
they are driven by testosterone. They are always
looking for the chemical high you first feel when
you’re initially attracted to someone. They stay
around for as long as those intense feelings last
before moving to the next one.
The affair of ego massage: People on long-term
relationships might cheat to prove they’re still
attractive. This usually happens when they hit a
certain age and want to recapture their youth.
It’s less about wanting a better sexual partner
and more about wanting to reassure yourself
that someone finds you attractive.
The affair of protest: This is when things aren’t
going right in the relationship, and is particularly
true of women when they don’t get enough
attention at home. In other words: I’m not going
to be treated like this so I will find what I need
elsewhere. “Sometimes, this is a cry for help and
they will leave hints around so their partner will
find out and react, which proves they care.
The serious affair: The one to watch. This person
is willing to walk away from their home and kids.
They are tired of who they’re with and they don’t
care if they get caught. It can coincide with a
mid-life crisis or the menopause. |

Summary? Fidelity should be an expectation from both party. You can't claim to love your partner and still cheat. Body no be wood abi? I hope you can consider that statement valid when your partner cheats on you. |
