Do you have a happy, fulfilling relationship but your bloke has a little bit of trouble in between the sheets? If the answer is yes then be warned – he may be more likely to cheat!
According to new research published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour your man may look elsewhere if he has issues in the bedroom. Great! As if things weren’t bad enough. In the study almost a quarter of men (23.2 percent) admitted they had cheated during their current relationship. Naughty, naughty boys!
Professor Robin Milhausen said: “Those who have any number of sexual concerns are more likely to be unfaithful. What we’ve interpreted from this is that people with problems in the bedroom, where their issues can become a self-fulfilling prophecy are more likely to look outside their relationship.
“Being with a new partner is risky and exciting, and might help someone increase their arousal enough to avoid sexual problems.”
Are you worried about this? Does your man have a wandering eye? Does he struggle in the satisfaction department? If the answer is yes, read on to discover what psychologist and sex and relationship expert Donna Dawson thinks about why men cheat.
