rather charitable of them... supposedly there are women who want a "you know what" to be stuck as well -- and if you are assuming fidelity by the wives of the unfaithful men, then the "somethings" getting stuck are pretty prolific.
This quote gives a hint, but I'm not sure what your message is here: are you trying to argue a correlation between a tendency to cheat and sex? profession? travel? wealth? are you trying to assign blame or fault based on these numbers?
(not flaming, just curious)
i think propensity to cheat is proportional to wealth, perhaps inversely proportional to age up through middle age (kind of a reverse bell curve) and i believe the survey. i think less married women cheat, and if Mrs. Johnson wants to bang Raul the pool-boy, good for her, but if Mr. Johnson is banging his secretary Felicia, bad 4 him!!!!!

women cheat just as much as men, except men get caught more often and also because men arent cry babies like the ladies, who will call up the guys wife and tell her, hence making the guy get caught...guys for the most part arent gonna sit there and call a girl whos he is bangings husband, thats being a pussy and only girls do that type of shit.

Rather slanted poll. I have been married twenty years, and I have never cheated. I have it pretty good at home, and no woman is sitting on anything that can compare to the things my wife has done for me over the last two decades. I fail to see why anyone would throw something like this away.

But the popular belief that about half the married population cheats is a myth, says a co-author of the new study, Joseph Catania, a behavioral epidemiologist.
Catania finds that about 28% of men President Clinton's age (52) have had affairs, as have about 17% of women.
One finding "popped out," Catania says. "There is very little sex with co-workers." His research shows that most affairs are with friends (57%) of at least six months, not colleagues (9%).
Only about 0.5% overall have had multiple affairs. And only about 3.3% have had extramarital sex in the past year. His sample is 55% women, 45% men; the study was done in 1996 and '97.
Catania's findings follow a 1994 report that found 80% of women and 65% to 85% of men have never had an extramarital affair. "Every study that I know of over the last few years has resulted in the same type of findings," says one of that study's co-authors, John Gagnon of the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Atlanta psychiatrist and marital therapist Frank Pittman agrees. "Not everybody is doing it. Most men are faithful most of the time," says the author of Grow Up! (Golden Books, $23.95).
Findings on infidelity are hotly debated. Earlier studies said up to 68% of men and 66% of women confessed extramarital bed-hopping.
Gagnon says prior research wasn't based on random samples of the population, concentrating instead on people who chose to come forward to discuss their sex lives. Scientifically based random samples "tend to include more conservatives," he says.

In spite of confessed sexual peccadilloes in Congress and the White House, not everybody is doing it.
The latest, still-unpublished research shows that about 24% of men and 14% of women have had sex outside their marriages. A national study of 5,000 men and women who have been married is under way at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies at the University of California, San Francisco.
The findings closely match those of a prestigious 1994 study from the University of Chicago.
