New Study Says People With Happy Sex Lives Are MORE Likely To Cheat

Sex calls for more sex

233 young married couples were analysed for three years. And the conclusion is surprising: those who make love regularly are more likely to give in to temptation. According to the researchers, it is because they would have "a positive relationship with sex in general". To test their level of infidelity, scientists performed several tests. The first, for example, was to show photos of attractive men or women to participants. And according to them, people who look away more quickly and voluntarily are 50% less likely to cheat on their spouse than others. Even if they were attracted, they preferred not to focus on this unhealthy feeling.

Researchers also said that people who lacked self-confidence could also be more likely to cheat to reassure themselves, and the same goes for those who had many partners in the past. Of course, let's not forget, there is no good reason to cheat on your partner. This is simply an excuse we make for ourselves.
