Cheating is such a sensitive issue in our relationships and dating life that it never really stops being talked about.
There’s so much of it happening around us and when you wonder why that is so, many reasons come to mind.
Of all the reasons why people cheat, would you expect that having too much sex will be an issue? Neither do we!
But apparently, there may be a link between having enough good sex and cheating on one’s partner.
Well, according to Assistant Professor Andrea Meltzer of Florida State University who co-authored the report, “sexual satisfaction was positively associated with infidelity suggesting that people who were more satisfied with their sex were more likely to engage in infidelity,”
However, she was quick to add that the result is maybe a little more nuanced than the conclusion that enough good sex makes people want to cheat.
Speaking to the website, Fatherly, she says “this effect was surprising and so I would hesitate to draw any meaningful conclusions from it until it can be replicated in other samples.
“It is also worth noting that this positive association emerged in a very complex model that controlled for several related outcomes.”
While Meltzer seems to still have some reservations over the result of her team’s new study, American Neuroscientist, Dr. Nicole Prause seemed quite assertive, telling Fatherly that:
“One of the strongest predictors of infidelity is power at work, which many scientists think indicates those who are prone to cheat, will when they have the ability to conceal it.”
