Your oral skills are what they call affair-proofing your marriage

You have unlocked the secret. Pass the word on to your sisters.

Amen to that. Men are so simple, almost stupid when it comes to their penises.

100% of married people cheat. But, a much smaller percent physically cheat.

98% of men are trying to cheat - but can’t find a willing partner

46% of women are cheating with a willing partner.

The other 54% have not realized the power that they have. Smile at a man, and there’s a 98% chance he thinks your into him. It’s why men cheat instead of opening the marriage. They know that any breathing female can get action. Not so for the men.

These numbers seem very high.

I can only think of a handful of people I know who cheated on a spouse.

You probably don’t know about all the cases.

I'd be surprised if the numbers are that high. We're in our 40s and a LOT of our married friends are having marital problems these days -- couples that for a decade had been solid are now struggling. I blame it on: elementary aged kids that involve a lot of parenting/activities/bdays, the novelty of marriage has slightly wore off and careers are in their peak. Of all of our friends having trouble, no matter how f-d up the marital problems, as far as we know, none of them involved a cheating spouse (and we've spoken in yucky level of detail with a lot of these friends).

All of you who stayed 50%, are you a husband or a wife?

98%?? Is that really accurate? I believe the 46% is, if not a little low.

Yeah, the rule is to keep quiet about it. If you knew me, you wouldn't count me as one of the cheaters.

All women know the power they have over men. They learn it at an early age. Finding a willing partner as a man is not as hard as you think. It's surprisingly, even shockingly easy. Especially around here.

How would you know? I have cheated twice and haven't told a soul.

Agreed re the marital problems starting in ES and the lack of intimacy and sex is the recipe for disaster.
