Cheatin' Perspective

The program I use to clip out stuff only allows me 1,000 characters, so this is rather truncated- but the most interesting thing I found (aside from the explanation of why the elderly are cheating- hip replacements, viagra, and vaginal vitamins, apparently) is that the historic rates of cheating by gender may never have been unequal.
Societal reasons, we know, have had a lot to do with who admits it, but , it takes two to tango.

And yes, I am working on Millionaire Matchmaker 2 planning right now. ugh.

Dr. Fisher notes that infidelity is common across cultures, and that in hunting and gathering societies, there is no evidence that women are any less adulterous than men. The fidelity gap may be explained more by cultural pressures than any real difference in sex drives between men and women.
It is not entirely clear if the historical gap between men and women is real or if women have just been more likely to lie about it.
“Men want to think women don’t cheat, and women want men to think they don’t cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.”
One notable shift is that couples appear to be spending slightly more time together. And married men and women also appear to have the most active sex lives, reporting sex with their spouse 58 times a year, a little more than once a week.
