fistermister - if you'd like to find a more accurate survey that you would find to be acceptable in its method - then be my guest and find something a little more to your liking and post it here. Maybe you'll find a survey that compares countries. Go ahead and find whatever data is out there that you would and could support. In the meantime, I randomly found this article on the internet - and from everything that I have read on the subject and in regards to similar studies and surveys - these are relatively similar. I found in another Canadian report that 15% of women in marriages cheat today - as opposed to 11% 30 years ago and that women are increasingly engaging in acts of adultery presently. Let us try and find some data that we can both accept to give us a fairly accurate snapshot of how many people are cheating in marriages?
12% vs. 22% hmmm. Why do women find other women's husbands more attractive than men find other men's wives?
Was the directed to me? I have never heard anything about the question you proposed or if it is indeed fact - so I'm unable to answer it at the moment.
i don't think that's correct. i've seen higher counts on both sides on every other one of those things. besides, i'd say plenty of people masturbate or look at porn, especially when theyre not in a relationship. i know plenty of chicas who watch porn, and of course plenty of chicos. it's entertaining to say at the least. plus, when its good, clean porn (not degrading, or rape or anything), it can actually be quite educational for young people who are not yet having sex. more so than all those stupid health sex ed classes.
The problem with any study like this is that it is SELF REPORTING. In things like sex surveys, men tend to over report (lie) and womyn tend to underreport (lie.)
I find 22 percent way too high and scary actually. and I agree with fistermaster- its what people ADMIT to, not what neccasarily actually is. In MY experience men and women both cheat in equal fashions- may not be "RIGHT"...but.....
I have a degree in psychology and a big focus of that degree was in studies which largely included surveys. You can't just take a survey and accept that its "fact"- surveys have MANY flaws. It could be the way questions are worded, pressure from whomever is giving the survey or even just the way men and women (in this case) are conditioned to react and answer questions. Someone answering a question a certain way does show a correlation but correlation is never fact. Surveys are flawed in many ways. There might be ways to actually determine this but as previously stated, good luck actually accomplishing that because of ethical reasons.
I just don't think women admit to it... I do think we have a lot more emotional affairs, and we really don't show too much remorse over it. Its just more socially acceptable for men to masturbate, watch porn, and cheat on their wives more.
I think, and maybe sure, that women cheat much more than men. Look at the way the very first of a relation, the man is after the woman, and it is up to her to accept or not, while the woman has more chances due to nature of the male hormons & and typical male sexual behave. According to my own experiences 4 women out of five cheated when they had the chance. Shit statistics - after all, all those men who are cheating, are cheating with other woman not with other man (Hetro straight speaking).
Think about this. Women will often lie about the number of sexual partners they have by saying they have had less/ Men will say they have more than they have. This leads me to believe the same about cheating. I bet the number who cheat is probably pretty similar. Men and women are both dogs
Prove it. Show me the study that says more women lie about their partners to round their numbers down, and that men lie by rounding their numbers up. I've never lied about the number of partners I've had, neither have any of my female friends I'm close enough to to talk about sex with. Admittedly for some it's rather easy to count (1 for several of my friends), but that doesn't mean any of us have lied to our partners.
I agree with you concerning their numbers, but dis-agree concerning similar numbers, based on our knowledge that due to hormons & nature of sex, men are more inclined to say yes to a woman more than women do. Also women are not that strict concerning values, they are more practical. They are much much more and would say 70 to 80%. PS. and since when women say the complete truth specially to their partners
I don't think studies prove anything. If I insisted on looking at statistics or the results of the study, I'd also want to know how they selected their sample data and what their methods for interpretation are. I also want to know who the researchers are and a background check and/or their reputation in their field.
It was something we talked about in a sociology of gender class back in college. Women are *more likely* to round down and men are *more likely* to round up, due to societal pressures. Makes sense to me. It's more acceptable for a man to have multiple partners.
God bless you...some men are really just lucky..we love you ..... ............... <<----------------- We are not worthy
Agreed. Especially since you said "round up" instead of lie. I have always claimed about 60, but in actuality it's probably closer to 50. I've always known that men were likely to round up. I've also always known that women don't always admit to having slept with someone (would should they?).
