8 Amazing Statistics About Infidelity

Infidelity is something that intrigues many experts and with each passing day more and more research is launched on the subject. Between 2008 and 2009, Dr. Leanna Wolfe took a questionnaire called "Who Cheats and Why?", Which helped to collect various statistics about infidelity and who commits it. Check out the eight curious and surprising information:

  1. Women tend to cheat when they are younger (24-45 years) and men when they are older (36-55).
  2. Women are more likely to cheat between 10 to 20 years before their partners.
  3. 72% of the people who cheat have already been betrayed.
  4. Younger infidels (18-35) tend to seek other partners for attention, and older infidels (36+) seek lovers for a different and active sex life.
  5. Men seek fulfillment of their sexual fantasies and desires while women seek companionship.
  6. Men over 56 consider a marriage without sex (54%) and a wife who cannot have sex for health reasons (43%) acceptable grounds for treason.
  7. Women worry more about the sentimental aspect of betrayal (if their partners feel something for another) while men worry about the physical (if their partners are attracted to others).
  8. Men tend to enjoy betrayal more than women.

The research has also expanded to find out what men and women consider cheating, and acts like going out to dinner with someone else are considered by both sexes to be an act of infidelity (30% of men and 41% of women).
