New Study Reveals The Age Women Are Most Likely To Cheat On Their Men, So Keep Your Head On A Swivel

In a 1991 study, sex researcher Shere Hite found that 70 percent of married women have cheated on their husbands; a 1993 follow-up study found that 72 percent of married men have as well, according to the Washington Post. That number seems super high, but the message remains, cheating is prevalent and it ain’t going away.

Exclusive sexual activity is unsustainable for most couples, especially with its accessibility in the digital age. As Eric Anderson from the Post puts it, “only when men and women are able to make sexual choices free of stigma will people be honest with their partners about their desires.”

Maybe sites like Ashley Madison and Victoria Milan that have been villianized for their crusades on marriage are just the first in breaking down the stigmas in an inevitable shift in ideology. I don’t know, but for now, I don’t want to think about my girlfriend boning another dude while I film it in the corner of the room, so I stand against cheating!

According to a study, which was conducted by Victoria Milan, a dating site where married people go to cheat on their partners, there are certain ages where women are most likely to cheat on their man. Victoria Milan assessed figures from across multiple continents and countries and covered adult women of all ages.

The study found that the average age women cheat is 36.6 years old, about seven years after the average woman marries (29). In the USA, women start having affairs after 8.5 years of marriage, and the average age is 35.5. Irish women were the quickest to break the monogamy bond, hopping into bed with someone else a mere 3.6 years after tying the knot.

Sigurd Vedal, founder of Victoria Milan, is here to tell us that marriage is about as valuable as the wedding pictures you put on Facebook.

“Married women start having affairs for various reasons. Perhaps their husband is not giving them the attention and respect they deserve. Perhaps they still love their partners, but the spark has vanished from their marriage. Alternatively, they may have an open relationship, and both have affairs to satisfy their physical needs whilst still sharing a tight emotional bond.”

Nice dude. When my girlfriend/wife turns 36, I’m going to make her wear a Go Pro 24/7. Can’t take any risks with my heart.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
