Do you have any statistics on adultery? It seems most of my friends fool around on their wives. Why? Are most men just unfaithful?

There are various studies done from 1950 to the present about male infidelity. Kinsey, in the fifties found that by age 40, 50% of men had cheated at least once. The Hite Report, published in the 80's found that from their sample 72% of men married over two years had cheated. so basically, 50-72% of men cheat at least once in their life, maybe more. There are many factors as to why men cheat and the list could go on forever. I think it's better to be forewarned of some behaviors to look for that seem common to cheating men. 1) They start working a lot of overtime. 2) They seem to be on the Internet more than normal. 3) They have less interest in sex or want to try new techniques that you haven't tried before. 4) They claim they need 'more space'. 5) You receive hang up phone calls and 'forget' to wear their wedding ring. These are only a few but forewarned is forearmed. - Answer provided by Dr. Shay Roop, RN, LMHC, Ed.D, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Board Certified by the American Board of Sexology, shay@drshay.org, www.drshay.org.
