If you need proof \u2013 and you probably don\u2019t \u2013 consider that the vast majority of extramarital dating sites are predominantly male. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>And, more recently, a survey revealed that 21% of men (versus 19% of women) had actually admitted to having been unfaithful in the past.<\/p>\n<p>But the question remains: why do we do it? Does a \u00ab\u00a0Y\u00a0\u00bb chromosome biologically guarantee that we\u2019re all doomed to this kind of action? Or is infidelity a more nuanced act with psychological complexity? After all, people don\u2019t just wake up one day and say, \u00ab\u00a0You know, I feel like cheating on my wife today\u00a0\u00bb. As with everything to do with love and desire, it\u2019s often complicated.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we reached out to relationship experts to gather the top reasons men are unfaithful to their wives, and we\u2019ve included them all here.<\/p>\n<h2>1 \u2013 An ex is back around, a reason to be unfaithful?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a banal story really. Quite often, when we\u2019re in a difficult situation in our current relationship, we tend to \u00ab\u00a0disqualify\u00a0\u00bb the good guys.<\/p>\n<p>And when an ex comes along, we remember that spark. So you end up in a situation where you gloss over the positive aspects of your current relationship and ignore the negative aspects \u2013 the ones that probably led to the break-up \u2013 of your former relationship. You\u2019re heading for disaster, we tell you!<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>2 -You want something else<\/h2>\n<p>She may think the relationship is done a certain way; you may think otherwise and not have the courage to confront her about it. One of the reasons people are unfaithful is because it\u2019s an impetus for change. Reverse in order to leap forward. It\u2019s necessary for some people to have that impetus to get out of relationships they\u2019re struggling to get out of. Think of it as the ultimate \u00ab\u00a0it\u2019s not you, it\u2019s me\u00a0\u00bb \u2013 something you shouldn\u2019t say.<\/p>\n<h2>3 \u2013 Bad judgment and the will of the unfaithful<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re more likely to get into an infidelity situation if you\u2019re not happy in your relationship. Whether you agree to take tequila shots at a club with your friends or, even more dangerously, if you agree to have dinner one-on-one with your ex, people who are committed and satisfied with their relationship will avoid these scenarios. If you actively and repeatedly decide to engage in risky situations, ask yourself the question. People know the consequences of infidelity. It\u2019s no secret. It tears couples apart.<\/p>\n<h2>4 \u2013 Your needs aren\u2019t being met<\/h2>\n<p>Get your head out of the gutter; we\u2019re not talking about sexual needs. It\u2019s something that comes gradually. Maybe the one titillating you complimented you on your new haircut and your wife hasn\u2019t done so in a while. Things start from there.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you argue a lot. Or maybe it\u2019s been too long since you and your partner laughed together. Maybe you feel ignored and neglected. Whatever the reason, there\u2019s a deficit in the relationship that\u2019s reinforcing an emotional disconnect. And instead of tackling the problem head-on, thoughts turn to \u00ab\u00a0She did this for me, and my wife doesn\u2019t\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14179 size-full\" title=\"infid\u00e9lit\u00e9-anxieux-40-et-plus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xlovecam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/10_indices_dune_possible_infidelite_670.jpg\" alt=\"infid\u00e9lit\u00e9-anxieux-40-et-plus\" width=\"670\" height=\"377\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>5 \u2013 Feeling depressed or anxious<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone experiences feelings of depression and anxiety to some degree. The question is whether or not these thoughts stem from the relationship. If you feel lonely in your relationship, emasculated or angry with your partner, you could certainly be one of the cheating men. However, it\u2019s important to note that cheating tends to exacerbate existing anxiety and depression. So the circle remains intact.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>6 \u2013 Evolution<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s that old adage that every man wants to sleep with as many women as possible \u2013 \u00ab\u00a0spread his seed\u00a0\u00bb, so to speak \u2013 and every woman wants to find a partner \u2013 \u00ab\u00a0lock him up\u00a0\u00bb. We\u2019re writers, not evolutionary psychologists, so we can\u2019t hope to speak to the truth of this thinking. There are theories from evolutionary psychology. The theory is that, since women only have a chance to reproduce once a month, they tend to be much more discriminating in their choice of partner. Whereas men can basically have a chance to reproduce every time they ejaculate.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>7 \u2013 Psychopathic tendencies in cheaters<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, most people don\u2019t wake up with the malicious intent to betray or hurt their partner. Well, most people. Maybe it\u2019s a personality disorder, or they\u2019re deeply anti-social, or have narcissistic tendencies. Whatever the reason, they have to deal with the problem themselves. Until they do, this man will hurt everyone \u2013 and everyone lovingly involved with him. To be avoided.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6048 size-large\" title=\"hommes-infid\u00e8les-40-et-plus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xlovecam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pourquoi-l-homme-est-infidele-c-est-juste-biologique_width1024.jpg\" alt=\"hommes-infid\u00e8les-40-et-plus\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>8 \u2013 You have trouble \u00ab\u00a0doing it<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve found that men with a higher propensity for what we call \u00ab\u00a0sexual inhibition due to performance threat\u00a0\u00bb become harder. It boils down to a need for validation; if he can\u2019t play with his significant other, is he less of a man? An easy way to counter these feelings of inadequacy is to try to find a physical connection with someone new. And they like to know the <b><a href=\"https:\/\/40-et-plus.fr\/15-facons-faciles-de-faire-durer-le-sexe-beaucoup-plus-longtemps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tips and tricks to last longer in bed<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>9 \u2013 A legitimate sexual addiction<\/h2>\n<p>Very few people have a legitimate sex addiction. Sex triggers the receptors for dopamine, the brain\u2019s pleasure center. And like anything that triggers dopamine \u2013 like cocaine, heroin \u2013 it can be addictive. For some people, dopamine is activated more by sex than by other things.<\/p>\n<h2>10 \u2013 It\u2019s a total co*****<\/h2>\n<p>Or, to use another term, \u00ab\u00a0Mark\u00a0\u00bb suffers from \u00ab\u00a0sexual inhibition due to the threat of performance consequences\u00a0\u00bb. That\u2019s an elegant way of saying that men don\u2019t fear the consequences of sex, like getting an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sida-info-service.org\/qu-est-ce-qu-une-ist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">STI<\/a><\/strong>, infecting someone or getting caught cheating on the other \u2013 and they\u2019re more likely to be runners and unfaithful.
