Another "gem" from compuserve:
You Won't Believe the Wives Who Cheat
Hey, guys: Where's your wife? The modern American or European woman is just as likely to cheat on her husband as he is to cheat on her. Those are the eyebrow-raising findings of a team of German researchers from the Hamburg-based GEWIS Institute for Social Research. Reuters reports that in a survey of 1,427 men and women between the ages of 25 and 35, fully 53 percent of women said they had been unfaithful to their partner, compared with 59 percent of men.
Love, lust, and revenge! Read racy love confessions.
Unlike most men, the reason women have affairs is primarily non-sexual. While sex is no doubt the outcome, what women are seeking when they first stray from their husbands is reassurance and understanding. In other words, they are looking for emotional intimacy. Lead researcher Werner Habermehl said that changing demographic factors have also contributed to the startling increase in unfaithful wives, including more liberal attitudes about sex, greater knowledge about contraception, and more freedom for women.
Some women are serial cheaters. Seventeen percent of women surveyed said they had cheated two or three times, compared with 22 percent of men. And get this: Eight percent of the women said they had cheated four or five times in the course of their marriage, but only 4 percent of men admitted to this. Why do we stray? Because we can. There is attraction. There is proximity. There is opportunity.
Okay men, start getting emotionally intimate with your women! Ditto for we gay men! There's nothing wrong with emotional intimacy!
