i assume that men cheat more because they're all disgusting pigs. you have to factor in the men that get hookers. half of them are married.

women are delicate angels, and if they're cheating.....you've already lost them.

But a handful of new studies suggest surprising changes in the marital landscape. Infidelity appears to be on the rise, particularly among older men and young couples. Notably, women appear to be closing the adultery gap: younger women appear to be cheating on their spouses nearly as often as men.
~~~~~~~~~~
The most consistent data on infidelity come from the General Social Survey, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and based at the University of Chicago, which has used a national representative sample to track the opinions and social behaviors of Americans since 1972. The survey data show that in any given year, about 10 percent of married people — 12 percent of men and 7 percent of women — say they have had sex outside their marriage.

But detailed analysis of the data from 1991 to 2006, to be presented next month by Dr. Atkins at the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies conference in Orlando, show some surprising shifts. University of Washington researchers have found that the lifetime rate of infidelity for men over 60 increased to 28 percent in 2006, up from 20 percent in 1991. For women over 60, the increase is more striking: to 15 percent, up from 5 percent in 1991.

The researchers also see big changes in relatively new marriages. About 20 percent of men and 15 percent of women under 35 say they have ever been unfaithful, up from about 15 and 12 percent respectively.

IMO - Men cheat more than women. Men can get turned on simply by looking at a two-dimensional image on a glossy page of a skin magazine. Women, on the other hand... well, I dunno. Women like sex too.

I remember having a young couple working for me years ago. They went on a vacation to visit her family and he ended up having sex with his SIL. It didn't end well - she became promiscous, he got some other girl pregnant (they had a baby between them already), she took him to the cleaners in the divorce, she got pregnant by a married man, he divorced his wife and moved in with her, he got another girl pregnant, she got pregnant by another guy and they all moved to Oregan.

I was propositioned once in my life. I was single (she was married) and, unfortunately, I had to decline because she was totally intoxicated and I had this visual of her barfing all over me at the peak of orgasm.
