According to a recent study, women have admitted to having had an extra marital relationship. The author Susan Shapiro Barash explained this evolution of mores in her book.
Married life is not always a long calm river. Sometimes love stories can run out of steam… Passion gives way to monotony! To rekindle the flame, some try to find solutions, others choose to have an extra-marital relationship instead. Women remain very discreet about their sex life. Nevertheless, some women do not hesitate to go elsewhere from time to time as one study reveals.
According to a Yougov study for Gleeden, 38% of French women admitted to having already been unfaithful in 2022, while in the United Kingdom, they were 41%. “These findings challenge the common misconception that women don’t prioritize their sexuality.”, explains the Insider media. The American author, Susan Shapiro Barash, has interviewed adulterous women for almost three decades on the reasons for their infidelities. She compiles her interviews in her book A Passion for More. A book she has devoted to this still taboo subject.

A “renegotiation tool” in the couple
If one could believe that infidelity is secret, women increasingly talk about their misbehavior to their spouse. The reason ? These women believe in particular that adultery can re-energize their couple. It becomes a “renegotiation tool” within the relationship. “For them, it’s a way of saying, ‘Here’s what I need and don’t get,’ explained Susan Barash. If the latter succeeded in obtaining results, it is because things have changed. “Women are much more willing to accept their infidelity“, she specified. The men, them, “are more willing to listen” and now plan to adapt to these changes.
