Is it basically easy for women to be loyal in the long term? You can’t put it that way, as a recent study shows …

Why people cheat and cheat on their partner is generally difficult to understand – but in individual cases it is usually just as difficult to judge! Nobody wants to hurt the person they’re with. Nonetheless, almost everyone has experiences with fling or affairs at some point, be it active or passive. How can that be? One does not know! But what is now known thanks to a recent study:

  • Almost 30 percent of women in Germany have had sex with someone beforewhen they were in a relationship
  • almost 40 percent have already kissed others.

More than 1,000 women interviewed

This is the result of at least one representative survey of more than 1,000 women, which the market research institute Ifop on behalf of “Gleeden“, a mediation portal for married people. In addition to actual cheating,” psychological “questions were also asked, ie” Do you sometimes think of other people during sex? “,” Do you wish you had sex with someone else? “etc. As expected, numerous respondents responded with “yes”: In their fantasy, 33 percent already had someone else in bed during sex with their partner and 50 percent would like to have a lunchtime with Joaquin Phoenix … uh, or whoever. Is that reprehensible? One can argue about that. But not now and here.


Women in this job are particularly likely to cheat

When is the likelihood of cheating on women greatest?

Women are most likely to cheat, according to the Gleeden study in the first year of a partnership. While 37 percent of unfaithful women “jumped aside” during this period, the trend with longer relationships was falling, with an impressive 23 percent of the unfaithful respondents having been with their partner for 20 years or more. Amazing: 65 percent of those who have had an affair regretted it not (at least apparently not at the time of the survey …).

But in the end it doesn’t really matter when you cheat, whether or how much you regret it afterwards and what gender you are, the more decisive is usually the why, how you deal with it and what damage you cause with it. But what is difficult to deny in any case: People are sometimes quite strange and complicated. Otherwise we would all simply be true to each other.
