Cheating women catching up on men
BERLIN (Reuters) - The modern western woman is now almost as likely to cheat
on her partner as a man.
In an online survey of 1,427 men and women aged between 25 and 35 by the
Hamburg-based GEWIS institute for social research for "Woman" magazine, 53
percent of women said they had been unfaithful to their partner, compared with
59 percent of men.
"In recent years, numbers of unfaithful men and women have evened out a lot,"
GEWIS head Werner Habermehl told Reuters on Tuesday.
The survey revealed that non-sexual desires, such as the need for reassurance
and understanding, were a primary motive among women for infidelity.
Habermehl said demographic factors were also behind the change in attitudes
but more liberal attitudes to sex, greater knowledge about contraception, and
more freedom for women had made having affairs less taboo than ever before.
As the frequency of cheating rose, the gap between the sexes was reduced, and
eventually reversed.
Some 17 percent of woman said they had cheated two or three times, as against
22 percent of men. But when it came to having cheated four or five times in the
course of a relationship, women moved ahead of men with eight percent against
four. The
