Love & Sex

If you have a happy sex life, the chance of cheating is greater

If you're just busy with all that action in your bed, well, then you have to be careful. Because it's precisely the people with a good sex life who are more likely to be cheated on.

The people who are quite happy with their life between the sheets are more likely to cheat. A team of researchers from Florida State University studied newlywed couples for three and a half years long. The more often a man or woman had an orgasm with their current partner, the quicker they were inclined to look outside the relationship. Somewhat logical, because sex naturally leads to wanting more. If you have little sex with your partner, then your libido isn't very present and your radar is off. You will then be less likely to crave an adventure with someone else, purely because you're not so caught up in all that kissing and fondling.

It also comes from the positivity that a good sex life brings. People who have a lot going on in bed, besides sleeping or watching TV, had a more positive outlook on life and thus attracted other partners more quickly. They are more appealing in the market thanks to their active sex life, which means they get more attention from strangers. And well, once the temptation is there, the chance is also greater that you'll stray. One in five men and women also say they have cheated at some point. And that's just the number who honestly admit it…

Men tend to cheat most often at age 36, women at age 33. So if you or your partner are a bit in this age category: just stay cozy on that couch together and especially don't dive into bed.
